Dying For a Threesome- Again!

Roooar/YouTube/Showtime

The preceding scene was from The L Word episode (I kind of hated what the guy did. I would have said "FUCKING AWESOME!" Or I would've made them some kind of waiver...damn! Why do I lose the words I'm trying to use as I writing these entries...oh, well, they'll come back to me...oh, yes, I would've made them sign a waiver holding me harmless of any responsibility/responsibilities afterward. In other words, in case my sometimes blank bullets turn out to have some gunpowder in them...).

Where was I? Oh, yes! THREESOMES! Yes. The ubiqitious menage a trois.

Oh, yes, I've been in at least one- think New Orleans, Louisiana, July 2002 (shortly before Bill Gates and his brood of whores came to the Crescent City...sorry, losing my thought here!)

At any rate, I'm dying to get in another threesome, only this time, I want to be with two women (this last one was me, another black guy , and a white woman. Of course, as always, race is not important). Two women who are so hot into each other, and hot into me. The mad passionate, mad rush of lust. Lasting into the night, into morning. Me fucking one woman, then her girlfriend as the first woman eats the girlfriend- and me- out. Every fucking orfice they want my hot cock in, I'm happy to acquiesce.

It's clear that I'm not the one-woman type, and I don't think I can ever be that. Of course, if the one woman who manages to hold my attention and not let go comes along, then that's a different ball game. But until then, SBM, 40 (may as well say I'm 40, since I hit that milestone in about five months), seeks F 18-25 (though I won't turn you away if you're over 25. But you've got to be HOT! HOT! HOT! SEXY! SEXY! SEXY! Though if you're not a perfect '10' that's fine, too. But please, no 'blimps' or 'fuglies'- fucking uglies- allowed!)

So, I'll get into shape to get ready for those many nights of threesomes- or more than threes- that lie ahead!

Mac Vs. Windows Vista- The Fight inside of Me

I took a look at Windows Vista hands on Sunday- a couple days before the official release.

It's a pretty nice little system there- though many (and yes, I'm guilty as charged as well in that group of many) call it a knockoff of the Mac OS X.

I'm very tempted to jump to the Windows side- though I'll still use my Mac- but thus far, several software programs are kind of buggy with Vista.

I feel like I'm Michael Corlone in The Godfather III, when he says, "Everytime I try to get out, they pull me back in!"

Windows and Macintosh. Two very beautiful women. Very seductive. Very functional. I guess you can look at this in terms of things being erotic (albeit in a geeky way, I suppose).

Windows. The girl in the red dress. She has plenty of offers, and is all willing to share all she has. She's a hot kisser, the sex is...well, pretty much extravagant much of the time. But with the extravagant sex and dancing comes those STIs- sexually transmitted diseases/infections in the form of spyware; spam; adware; and those ubiquitous viruses and worms you must beware of.

Macintosh. I guess many would call the ugly girl at the dance. Not many want her, but the few who do find that she's a very careful young lady, pretty much virtuous.
Like Windows, she's very functional, and very easy to use. However, she doesn't suffer many of the maladies that Windows does- in fact, you could probably count the number of viruses, etc. that targeted Mac on one hand. Of course, those viruses were rapidly took out. She always keeps herself up in the form of almost monthly updates, and new versions come out almost every 12-18 months. (Look how long it took Windows Vista to finally get released. Five years?)

Sounds almost like I'm quoting the Bible book of Proverbs, doesn't it?

Well, everytime I look for reasons to get a Windows Vista PC, those same reasons having me running back to the Mac.

So I have to accept the foregone conclusion that I'm forever a Mac person.

Allah's Gonna Get You, Michael (and You, too, Jermaine)! ( Or "You're Fucking Joking, Right?")

I saw this report as I was about to check my e-mail on Yahoo about Jermaine Jackson trying to talk his freakshow sibling, Michael, into converting to Islam.

Yes, I know, Mr. Freakshow was once in a religion this blogger was associated with, Jehovah's Witnesses (of course, apparently, neither he nor I fit into that 144,000 crowd that's supposedly going to the pearly gates. Either that or the Almighty Jehovah was afraid that I would take over heaven...yeah, that's it! Anyway...). But fucking Islam, people? The same religion that gives us suicide bombers, teaches people to hate America, and tells meat-and-potatoes guys (such as myself) not to touch pork products (I say this as I try not to spit take my pork chop out of my mouth...damn!)

And he definitely ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY CANNOT DRINK THIS:

I know one thing, though. If Michael does decide to be a worshipper of Osama...er, Allah, he won't be able to play hand pinata with little boys anymore, that's for damn sure. Plus he won't be able to sing Rock With You; or Thriller anymore. And he's going to have to wear those robes, probably. Pray five times a day- and remember, it's to the east, Mike. To the east. If he's doing a concert, he'll probably stop in the middle of his song, and get on his prayer rug. Just picture that!

I just can't see Michael picking up a Quran and following the tenets of Islam. He's too goddamned freaky to become a Muslim- let alone a Jehovah's Witness. But, if this walking freakshow can sell Watchtowers and Awakes (like he did as a youth and in his early 20s), I suppose I can say that I've seen stranger shit happen (like a former girlfriend- who used to be 'one of the guys'- getting married with child and settling down. Different animal, different day, folks).

Houston, I Don't Have a Problem (With You)

In fact, I only have the great success guru Anthony Robbins to thank for this.

For awhile, I've been trying hard to decide when to arrive in Houston, Texas- in part because I'm doing research for a TV series idea (and it involves a very well-known pastor from a very well-known church in the Houston area).

Now that I've gotten excited over the fact that Tony is doing a seminar a bit upstate in Dallas, I have figured out when to go to Houston. In April (yeah, I know, that's when the Texas twister season start doing the Twist to the sound of one Ernest Evans- known to the world as Chubby Checker...he's only 65? Damn! Thought he was older. Anyway...I'm from Ohio, so I know a few things about those dancing tornadoes...)

Another reason I'm coming to Houston, is, in part, to continue being around positive people. You know, those who build up another's character and spirits. Those who genuinely want others to succeed. Those who will help when they are down. For far too long, I've been around people who basically don't want to do a damn thing with their lives (okay, granted, many do, but are either too damn scared that it won't work, or basically relaxed in their 'comfort zones'...).

My 'comfort zone', however, has become a discomfort zone. I'm very frustrated in my current situation, and now I'm ready to break from the pack. Spring free. Live my life to the fullest and to the hilt. Love to the infinite, and do the may things I want to do with passion! I want a glow about me, where people see me walking, and they'll think, "hey, this guy is a pretty happy fellow, at peace with himself. Has a sense of direction in life. How can I get that?" In which I'll be more than happy to share the wealth of information and good vibes to others, so they, too, can pass it on.

So, to this end, I've printed an e-mail I got from Tony today (thank you, with great gratitude, Ton'!) and next week- as I mail my other Amazon.com order (on Cinema 4D10 and Final Cut Studio books), this order of Tony Robbins DVDs and CDs will be mailed as well.

It's time for me to say au revoir (I'm thinking of a political commercial from my home state of Ohio that ended with "say 'sayanora' to Sherrod Brown [who was the Secretary of State at the time]..." I can use 'sayanora' as well, so...it's time to say) also sayanora to depression, being directionless and shy. Instead, become open to living out my dreams and getting my life together. It's time to bring in the new crew of hope, direction, love, peace, happiness, security, and most important, passionate (and yes, riotous) living.

It's time to start living again.

So Far, So What!

This Tuesday, January 30, Microsoft releases the latest version of their widely popular Windows operating system, Vista. It is reputed to be one of the most secure iterations of the 22-year-old operating system ever released.

One of the features of Vista is an interface called Aero, which is more visually dynamic- according to Microsoft. Plus Windows Flip 3D, which is stacking open windows on the desktop three-dimensionally.

So why am I NOT convinced? Yes, I'm tempted to give Vista a try, but from what I've seen so far, it looks like a knockoff of the Macintosh OS X. I know that Microsoft has to steal from the best sometimes, but does it have to look like...say, another version of the Mac? If so, why don't Microsoft just sell the Windows OS, all its codes and thing-a-ma-jigs to Apple and just get out of the operating system business. What I'm saying is that Microsoft should be thinking about originality, as they greatly stress innovation. Only they should start by not copying the other guys. They need to prove to someone like me- who sometimes uses Windows (though those days are gravely numbered, since I'm on the eve of buying a couple Macs this year)- that they are indeed the better of the numerous (operating) systems out there.
That they are the most secure, the most dependable, the most sturdy of all OSes.

All I see instead is another reason why Windows will continue to see its' 90-plus percent (of computer users) standing take a nosedive.

(Before long, I'll likely see the first report of Vista being hacked...fine by me. I'll just stand by that 23-year-old Macintosh OS).

Stretch the Skin- If You Dare (OUCH!)

I couldn't believe it myself, either.

I had to watch this video of a young man suffering from the rare disorder Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which makes the skin thin as paper, and can weaken joints. The young man is featured in a freak show (of all places), and demostrates how far he can stretch his skin. Just click on the title to watch the ABC News report.

The Idiot's Guide to Torpedoing Your Career

Michael Richards. OJ Simpson. For awhile, Stephanie powers when she did the spinoff to NBC's The Man From U.N.C.L.E., The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. Even the late great Robert Altman managed to do this- remember the feature length version of Popeye (can't say that Robin Williams did this. He was young at the time, so he could be forgiven).

These jackals destroyed their careers. Or more specifically, TORPEDOED THEM!

Thanks to my addiction to a little entity called YouTube- I'm addicted to those old TV show themes from the 1960s and 70s- I came across an actress named Claudine Longet.

Now you readers over the age of 50 may remember her- hey, I'm only 40 (as of a few months from now). Also, my readers in France may remember her.

For the rest of us, Longet- who turns 65 a week from Monday- had a illustrious singing and acting career in the 1960s and 1970s. She married crooner Andy Williams in 1961, and had three children with him. They separated in 1969, divorce finalized in 1975.

In 1980, she was convicted of killing her lover, American Olympic skiing star Vladmir 'Spider' Sabich. In March 1976, she allegedly shot Sabich, when he wanted her out (he adored the kid. It's their mother who apparently was the bitch...hmmm.) Longet said that the shooting was an accident, but the autopsy showed that he was bent over, and Longet was only six feet away.

morbidblowupdoll/YouTube

Longet was convicted of criminal negligence, sentenced to just 30 days- but got credited for time served. The Sabich family sued civilly, but later settled.

The thing here is that Ms. Longet had a very illustrious career. Singing. Acting. Hell, she was married to Andy fucking Williams. Mr. Merry fucking Christmas, fergawdssakes! And she just throws away her career by shooting a guy who wants to break things off. Oh, man.

Now she can't write about the incident, and the murder- which is basically what it was- has totally ruined her career.

One can't help but wonder how Ms. Longet's holding up these days.

Hail to the New Chief (that is, if Nancy Pelosi doesn't get there first)

The speculation on whether Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton will run for President or not has ended.

As we now know, Mrs. Clinton has declared her intention to run for the office. If she wins, she becomes not only the first woman in the US to become president, but the first former first lady to reach the office (somewhere, Eleanor Roosevelt is having a hissy fit. After all, she could have been President, instead of that invalid albatross of a husband).

But one woman stands in her way. And all it takes is the resignation; impeachment; or- God forbid- the deaths of the current Commander in (or would you prefer 'Liar in) Chief, George W. Bush and his sugar daddy, Richard B. Cheney. I'm talking about none other than the current Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

You see, Bush and Cheney are whipping boys for both the Democrats and Republicans. The war in Iraq, as we all know, is very unpopular on both sides, and with the majority of the American people (I know, dirty work, kids. But unless you want an al-Qaida/Islamofascist administration in the Oval Office...). Many people, as you can imagine, want President Bush to be impeached and forced to resign- just like another Republican some 33 years ago.

But back to Hillary. The $64,000 question is can she effectively lead the country? True, she supports the War on Terrorism, and she wants votes from the red-state laden heartland. But is going for the more conservative, and mostyly Repuiblican votes going to alienate her more progressive fellow Democrats? Will she cause a third party from the fringe to emerge- and possibly cost both the Republicans and Democrats all three branches of US government?

And how good of a leader will she be? She'll be handed the keys to the powerhouse if she wins on November 4, 2008. Will she be a fair and effective leader of the free world? Will she be just in judgement, and merciful to those who genuinely need help?

Will she keep that first husband of hers from DC area strip clubs?

Only the events of the next year and three-quarters will dictate whether Hillary will become the 44th President of the United States.

I've Known This All Along, Too, Vince...Art Buchwald and Darlene Conley Appreciations

From time to time, I get e-mails from fitness expert Vince Palko (who is from the same state I'm from, Ohio).

Today, when I looked at the daily e-mails, I saw something that I've known along. Vince pointed it out, and the link to his latest blog entry (also on Blogger) can be linked by just clicking on the title.

That something, iof course, is the squabble between the Donald and Ro'Donnell- the future married couple of Donald Trump and Roseann 'Rosie' O'Donnell. Donald says that he'll take Rosie's love Kelli from her, Rosie saying that Donald's a blowhard and his hair's fake (sorry, Ro, but it's real!). Blahblahblahblahblahackackackptooie!

When this little love spat started weeks ago, I thought to myself that the donald must have something for big boned gals who just happen to be lesbian- or at least lesbian for the moment (had Tom Cruise not married Nicole Kidman- or more recently Katie Holmes- and instead gone for Ro, I'd bet she'd give up Kelli and the lesbian life forever...anyway...). Donald hit on Ro, Ro turned him- and his bad hairdo- down (what?!!! Rosie, he's a fucking billionaire fergodssake!), and the Don got a bit pissed.

Or perhaps RoDon DID do the nasty, and it kind of turned out not all that it was cracked up to be.

Or this little love spat is just a cover for something else...let's see...the donald's a sperm donor for either Ro or Kelli. Or the Donald IS sleeping with Ro (and if it's a menage a trois, with both Ro and Kelli), and he doesn't exactly want the rest of the world to know about it.

I don't know what to make of this, man. all I know is that Vince and I agree on the same thing- perhaps we may soon see the emergence of RoDon. Or would you prefer RoKellDon? Hmmm...

ART BUCHWALD AND DARLENE CONLEY: APPRECIATIONS

On January 14, 2007, a beloved actress from the soap opera world passed away.

For over 15 seasons, Darlene Conley played the brassy- and many would say ballsy- Sally Spectra, the owner of Spectra Fashions, a competing brand of Forrester Fashions, on the soap The Bold and the Beautiful (seen daily on CBS Daytime). Sally's antics included making knockoffs of Forrester clothing, playing Santa Claus, or pulling what ever scam she could get her hands on.

But the actress who played her had a long and storied career in stage, film, music and TV. One of her first roles was in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. She was also in The Valley of the Dolls, and Lady Sings the Blues.

She also played in other soaps, Days of Our Lives; Capitol; and B&B's sister soap, The Young and the Restless, where she played Rose deVille, prior to joining B&B.

Conley died of cancer on Sunday, at 72.

Art Buchwald's health was failing years before his passing Wednesday night, at 81. He went to a hospice, waiting to die, only to find himself getting better enough to return home. He wrote a book on the experience entitled, Too Soon to Say Goodbye.

The dean of political humor satirized the follies of the rich and famous; paraded with missiles during the Cold War; saw absurdities and got involved in them.

Buchwald wrote numerous articles; columns, and stage plays over a 60-year period.

I'll have more on this remarkable man later.

Multitasking Can Be a Pain in the Arse (Sometimes)

I hate using the library's computers sometimes. For one, they run on Windows- not that anything's wrong with that (only, I'm a Mac person). And you only get one scant hour to get things done. Before you know it, that hour's evaporated.



(Sorry, I needed the laugh. An old blooper from the CBS series Gunsmoke).

Fortunately for me, by the end of the month, I won't be using the library's computers again- a 15" MacBook Pro/ 2.33 GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo) is very much in my future. So, the days of watching over my shoulder (hey, library security's not very kind to us porn surfers) are numbered.

Okay, moving on, in February, tons of software are coming my way. The new Cinema 4D, Release 10; Final Draft 7.1.3/Power Structure suite...Manga and Anime Studio programs; and of course, Final Cut Studio 5.1. I'll be pretty busy between now and May with doing self-taught lessons in video production and editing; visiting New York; and perhaps even sneak in a trip to Mardi Gras.

There is indeed a lot on this plate to enjoy.

What Will Apple Release This Time?

Here we are again, on the eve of the annual Macworld Expo at Moscone Center in San Francisco. Here we go again, with Steve Jobs having us Mac lovers playing guessing games (even as some of us are using those godawful Windows computers- by the way, Vista seems to be doing okay- in spite of those ugly vomit-flavored bugs and worms that seem to want to pop up...of course, in my case, that Mac deprivation is rapidly coming to an end...).

So, instead of trying to guess what Apple will release at Macworld Expo tomorrow, I submit to you- and Steve Jobs- a wish list.

1. Lower the price of Macs across the board
Yes, this includes the entry level Mac mini, right up to the top of the line Mac Pro. Drop the price by at least $100 for the Mac mini, to $200 for the MacBook line, and evewn $300 for the Mac Pro and iMac lines, and we have a deal.

2. Include WiFi; TV and FM tuner capability in the iPod (and while you're at it, make TV tuning capability standard on the Front Row interface).
Sure, Microsoft's piece of rag Zune's doing the WiFi thing, but Apple does a much better job innovating products and technology. And given the fact that we can watch video on our iPods, I think having a TV tuner inside will really help, as well as hearing FM tunes we'll later download from the iTunes Media Store.

Even if you need help with the TV tuning side, from Elgato Technologies (out of England), at least allow us Mac users to watch TV without having to use the TV Micro USB drives (not that I find anything wrong with them. In fact, I love those TV tuner drives from Elgato. Just suggesting options...).

3. Increase the screen size on the iPod.
I don't think that having a 3-4" screen on the iPod will hurt anything. If anything, having a bigger screen helps the iPod in another area- hard drive size. Look, it's likely that the iPod will sport a 100GB drive before long- hey, it could be out tomorrow. Who knows? Having a bigger screen, and refining the iPod will definitely help the iPod keep its' commanding lead.

4. Put FireWire back on the iPod.
There's no reason why the USB and FireWire ports can't cohabitate peacefully on the iPod.

I'll be back here tomorrow to see what products Apple will release.
