  • I don’t know what to do with anger.

    I don’t anger easily, and I am often at a loss regarding how to handle it. Right now, I am channeling rage. Old rage. I met with someone I had pushed out of my life about two decades ago. I’m sure she thought it went well, that a new era of love and acceptance is…

  • The Men’s Group

    I am more and more pleased with the evolution of the Men’s Group at TES. When I first took it over, it was an afterthought, and a catch-all for lonely, dispossed TES members with nothing better to do. Four, five attendees at most. Soon it was thriving, with up to twenty men in atttendance at…

  • Comfortably numb

    Novocaine is my friend. I just began the real meat of my dental oddessy. I was grateful for the numbness, and have been through medical procedures which were much worse in the recent past – but I still came away with this conclusion: Dental work should never involve hammers.

  • Feedback, please.

    I’m presenting a new seminar at TES soon- “I’m Only Human”… Rationalizations, Excuses,  and Passive Aggressive D/S and I’m gathering my notes. I’d like to ask:  From either side of the leash, what excuses, behaviors or rationalizations make you craziest? Bother you most? Or come most easilty? Either comment or forward me your observations confidentially. The…

  • Internet, how I hate you

    I may have found it… the motha-load, the Source, the dark, beating, cancerous heart of the Beast of Mediocrity. Certain sorts of websites are bad enough, catering to the oreo-stuffing, self aggrandizing, overblown and hyper-poetic “BDSM” crowd- the masses, the bottom of the barrel, the lowest common denominator. These horrific sites tend to promote the…

  • Spooooon!

    As many of you know, I savor fine crazy. Self mutilators, conspiracy theorists, crackpots, loons and wackos. I love the people who think that their appliances are conspiring against them, I love the people at war with their toes. I collect the crazymail TES gets, and the cribbed pamphlets handed out buy streetcorner prophets howling…

  • Two good reasons to get old

    I have had my share of interesting roommates and other temporary companions since I started my medical roller-coaster. There was the delirious preacher who spoke in tongues and would attempt to get out of bed at 4 in the morning, explaining to the nurses that he was going fishing. There was the guy who ate…

  • Looking up

    After a couple of bad weeks ( I was prescribed a damn stupid medication during my last trip to the hospital and have been slogging my way through the complications) I am finally doing better… and nothing makes me feel better than making a little money. (Well, a few things- but not many). Tonight was…

  • Dead things and extra teeth

    So, my stalker has resurfaced, here on LJ. She has “friended” me. Bleah. I think I shall neglect to return the favor. This fruitbat is the one who hears voices,and nearly drowned her offspring and attempted to move in with me at their behest… not mine. Busy, busy voices. Please, go away. If any of…

  • Made it back alive….

    Wow. Best trip ever. We need to vacation where there is nothing to do- because I don’t think we slept for three days. It was a blur of neon, greed, sequins and gluttony. Oddly enough, I did not win my bonus fabulous wealth jackpot extravaganza with my quarter, but I was assured that it was…

  • The Big Show

    Lies and lights and greed and illusion and entertainment and food and luxury and decadence and distraction and no clocks and cameras and mirrors and sex and lures and bait and switch and buffets and room service and swimming pools and neon and blinking lights and pawnshops and hope and despair and glitter… I’m off…
