Name the movie this came from and leave another quote if you like:
I was always a singer and maybe no more than that. Sometimes it's not enough to know the meaning of things, sometimes we have to know what things don't mean as well. Like what does it mean to not know what the person you love is capable of? Things fall apart, especially all the neat order of rules and laws. The way we look at the world is the way we really are. See it from a fair garden and everything looks cheerful. Climb to a higher plateau and you'll see plunder and murder. Truth and beauty are in the eye of the beholder. I stopped trying to figure everything out a long time ago.

It seems there are some
wrinkles in my plan
I'm spending some time
working them out
pumping a little iron
along the way too, to
a better smoother
well creased tomorrow
just pumping some iron
for you
for I am
Iron Man!

Modern Poetry

To me, this is a most perfect poem.
Of Modern Poetry by Wallace Stevens
The poem of the mind in the act of finding
What will suffice. It has not always had
To find: the scene was set; it repeated what
Was in the script.
Then the theatre was changed
To something else. Its past was a souvenir.
It has to be living, to learn the speech of the place.
It has to face the men of the time and to meet
The women of the time. It has to think about war
And it has to find what will suffice. It has
To construct a new stage. It has to be on that stage,
And, like an insatiable actor, slowly and
With meditation, speak words that in the ear,
In the delicatest ear of the mind, repeat,
Exactly, that which it wants to hear, at the sound
Of which, an invisible audience listens,
Not to the play, but to itself, expressed
In an emotion as of two people, as of two
Emotions becoming one. The actor is
A metaphysician in the dark, twanging
An instrument, twanging a wiry string that gives
Sounds passing through sudden rightnesses, wholly
Containing the mind, below which it cannot descend,
Beyond which it has no will to rise.
It must
Be the finding of a satisfaction, and may
Be of a man skating, a woman dancing, a woman
Combing. The poem of the act of the mind.

In Honor of Fine Pets Everywhere

In honor of Pet Day which I learned of through skygrey, slaveforsushi and others, I’m paying tribute to the pets of the world by featuring a superb pet of distinction. While he’s not my pet, he is a pet of someone I know very well and embodies all that would be my ideal pet.
He’s obviously uniquely gifted, extremely affectionate, fiercely loyal, appreciates fine food and maintains a wonderfully happy disposition . . . unless he dislikes you in which case you’ll discover he’s a force to be reckoned with. He is a true philosopher. The Philospher Dogs
He would like to play a song for you now, a solo guitar version of Dogs In The Wine Shop originally recorded by the late jazz saxophone legend Michael Brecker.
Happy Pet Day!

Do you know this feeling?
You feel this for someone;
It takes you by storm
and It overwhelms you
It steals your breathe away
It grips you, all rational thought,
ceasing; Pure infatuation combining
with psychotic raging inferno lust building
Hoping it will be reality evolving into Love,
the most intensely imaginable, the most beautiful,
respectful, thoughtful, emotional, unstoppable, caring,
devoted, loyal, giving, yielding, infinitely endless, Love
and, from that, the most heart pounding, maddest, wildest,
deepest . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Psychotic Sexuality!

My Thoughts on the Importance of Communication and Specificity in Profiles
|
Posted:Aug 31, 2007 10:48 am

Sometimes I read profiles I especially like because something in there resonates deeply for me. I’m sure you all know this feeling. The same goes for blog posts. It could be something specific, personality traits conveyed or just the overall tone and feeling I get reading it.
One thing I really like is when someone spells out their views about what they want, don’t want, or both in a relationship and/or bdsm/ds.
It delights me to see all the differences and helps me make a more informed decision if I choose to write to someone.
I understand the counterargument that some don’t want to elicit tailored emails from those who will say anything to get with anybody but it seems either way you have to weed through a lot and ultimately, there’s no way to know until you’re with a person for awhile. At least being specific will help draw those who may work best for you. I suppose you could be clever and set a trap or two (i.e., saying you want no strings when you seek a relationship so when they say “Hey, I’m into no strings too!”, you can rule them out).
Everyone has to find what works best for them but I can tell you the moment I see no strings, I move to the next profile. Another example for me is if someone indicates their interest in Gor, I move to the next. There was one exception to this and I explained in my email I liked everything in her profile, have read Norman but have no interest in reenacting any of it yet I was still interested as she seemed open minded and not set in her ways.
It seems better to me to reveal at least some details of who you are and where you stand than to just catch what ever comes along. It also lets you know very quickly who took the time to read.

Alright, I'm patient but this is LUDICROUS!
Can someone with business sense please explain why management would invest time, money and manpower into updating page layouts like Who's Viewed Me (now missing the last visit data) and other trivial "enhancements" such as how many photos someone has in See Who's Online Now (which is only valuable to paying members at the most) when TOS conforming emails are not readable and blogs are slower than slow?
I've calmly and politely complained about these on more than one occasion over the past two months. I know many others have as well.
Somebody in Alt Management needs to WAKE UP!
This is what everyone sees when they come onto the site the first time:

So, you ask whatever happened with Victoria while we warmed up the heart shaped Valentine’s Day pizza?
Well, we found ourselves on her leather couch when she turned on Days of Our Lives of course . . .
So, I picked Vicki up for our second date to have dinner with me. Once you seduce a girl with a heart shaped pizza, it’s very difficult to surprise her but I had a plan.
I made all the preparations earlier that day including this Italian recipe for shrimp I found in a cookbook from Firenze. It involved sautéed breaded shrimp and a simple tomato sauce, the finishing touch being they’re flambéed in cognac before finding their way into the sauce. How could I miss? The entrée would be accompanied by a salad, a pesto pasta, and chocolate mousse.
When I arrived at her door, she looked more stunning than ever before. We were both a little more quiet than Valentine’s Day during the drive. When we arrived, she noticed I already had some classical music she liked playing. I poured her a glass of wine and told her I’d be right back.
I brought out the pasta and salad. She smiled graciously.
There was only one more step. All I had to do was warm the cognac so it would ignite.
I came from the kitchen with my brightly flaming dish of golden brown shrimp in hand as I watched her eyes widen beyond belief. This was precious! After the flames subsided, I plated the shrimp along with the tomato sauce. After the clinking of the glasses and a long look into her beautiful eyes, we began. Then it happened.
Math always came easy to me. I suppose there are only one or two explanations for the result. While halving everything in the recipe but the amount of cognac produces the most amazing visual display, that’s where it ends.
The wide eyed look on Vicki’s face when I brought the flaming prawns out contrasted greatly from the grimace after the first bite. The embittered shrimp had the same effect on me. It was disaster on a scale I can hardly convey.
Of course we were able to laugh about it once we were past the initial shock. It highlighted the advantages to multiple course meals and mousse was her favorite so all was not lost.
Just like Days of Our Lives, it was another bittersweet moment in history.

For the Joy of Sushi AND The Tradition!

As some of you already know from past posts, I have strong feelings about everyone finding their own path. There is no set way things have to be. We're all here because we have an interest which deviates from the norm.
Our favorite sushi lover summed it up perfectly with a quote in her post [post 363867]
I knew a member of the Old Guard who's no longer with us but I assure you he would've said the same thing if he were here today. He wasn't much into leather or bondage. His main interest was in medical fetishes. He was that tradition and the ideal set forth in the quote.
