I have things I have been thinking about writing <\/p>\nabout, but I’ve been putting it off. There is always something else to do; more <\/p>\n
often than not in my life, it’s a new way to waste time. I took my clock out of <\/p>\n
storage, and hung it over my desk. Maybe- just maybe- that will make me more <\/p>\n
aware of time, and what I do with it. That every circle on that clock is a <\/p>\n
circle gone, and I will never get it back. How did I use it?<\/font><\/p>\n
Recently I have become aware that a lot of <\/p>\npeople have an opinion of Ken I do not share. So- first things first. Ken is one <\/p>\n
of the best friends I have ever had, and a man I genuinely respect. He is a <\/p>\n
honorable man, and gifted Dominant. I have learned a lot from him, I still do. I <\/p>\n
will not hesitate, and have not ever hesitated to throw my lot and name in with <\/p>\n
his… for whatever that is worth.<\/font><\/p>\n
If I am chasing my dream, in the end I may not <\/p>\nsucceed – but I do not think that is wasting my time. <\/font><\/p>\n
We need our contract, we need to get to work, we <\/p>\nneed our shot. We are close, but there are no promises, and not enough salvation <\/p>\n
to go around. <\/font><\/p>\n
My friends are drifting apart; entering a new <\/p>\nera of our lives. This is a profound shakeup- up until now the anchor of my <\/p>\n
friendships has defined my life. I thought that was all there was, all there <\/p>\n
would ever need to be. But that is not true. It’s just… changing. And I may be <\/p>\n
a little sad… but it’s not wrong.<\/font><\/p>\n
The Second Coming<\/font><\/b><\/p>\n<\/font><\/tt><\/i><\/p>\n
TURNING and turning in the widening gyre\n\n The falcon cannot hear the falconer;\n\n Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;\n\n Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,\n\n The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere\n\n The ceremony of innocence is drowned;\n\n The best lack all conviction, while the worst\n\n Are full of passionate intensity.\n\n\n\n Surely some revelation is at hand;\n\n Surely the Second Coming is at hand.\n\n The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out\n\n When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi\n\n Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert\n\n A shape with lion body and the head of a man,\n\n A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,\n\n Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it\n\n Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.\n\n The darkness drops again; but now I know\n\n That twenty centuries of stony sleep\n\n Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,\n\n \n\nAnd what rough beast, its hour come round at last,\n\n Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?<\/i><\/font><\/pre>\nW.B. Yeats<\/font><\/b><\/pre>\nBut it's not bad. It's just Kali come to claim her own.\n\nI'm simply not done yet, and had better get a goddamn move on.<\/font>\n\n<\/font><\/pre>\n <\/p>\n
