static....
fuzzing frequency
pulsing and popping
similar to drunken or aberrant
caterpillars convulsing and curling
against the gray-scale screen.
A dull, lifeless clicking, sporadic in essence
silences and intensifies the
woolly buzzing
abruptly stopping and starting
in increments of five
each silence between clicks
more ominous than the one before.
the ruby eye crowned atop
the channel changer
flirtatiously blinks
blurring the lines separating
life and hazy ending, and
the metronome lays
mindlessly sprawled
slowly returning to silence
under the hot oil pops
and rain stick bouts
of the cloud-drenched window
television
and the depressingly somber
views it begins to
believe.

Daddy or Dick?
Chances are, if you are reading along, you are curious or just beginning your journey into BDSM and the kinky lifestyle. Even better chance if you are reading, is that you have strongly identified with either a submissive/bottom/switch play style and need to find a good top/Dom/daddy/mommy. Where do you even start?? More experienced players can tell you, the scene is littered in human garbage, claiming to be tops while preying on unsuspecting bottoms without the experience needed to tell them to fuck off. In an attempt to spare you abuse, heartache, and a lot of dangerous scenarios, I have constructed a general guide to dominant choosing, to better equip my precious baby bottoms with the tools needed to have fulfilling BDSM experiences.

Appreciation of the work Angels and Demons
The novel "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown is a marvelous work of literature, opening up a world full of mystery, conspiracy, and the juxtaposition between the two supreme forces of the Vatican organization. Written by a talented author, the book is not only an adventurous journey full of drama but also an opportunity to delve deep into philosophical, religious, and scientific issues.

Spectating
I can't imagine dying like this, in a place like this; on a cold, dirty pavement with rush hour traffic screaming by and a crowd looking on while paramedics struggle to find space to move. Who could? Deep down we all think there should be a reason, a moment of clarity... or a family presence, at least. For this man, this boy, the rail thin woman lighting a cigarette in a faux fur jacket will have to do - she's been here since the start, her eyes tracking the movement of my shoulders as we fight to keep him on the right side of the line.
