Eau de Pheromone

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

I have discovered the secret of getting a guy’s attention when you are single: Smell like you are taken.
Like animals, I think humans put out pheromones and chemicals that say they are available and interested. But, unfortunately unlike animals, it’s really unreliable in humans. What seems to be much more reliable is the [...]

Beef and Blow

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

I found out from AJAX IN THE CITY that today is National Steak and Blowjob Day. (I wonder if this sponsored by the American Beef Council. )
No matter who sponsored it, it’s apparently something straight guys devised in response to Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s, with all it’s chocolate and cuddles, is for the girls. [...]

Only Three Hundred Thirty Seven More Shopping Days

Sunday, March 4th, 2007

The View From Here

Friday, January 5th, 2007

I’m a bit of TV junkie. I have been since I was a kid. I was not a coach potato kid, though. I’m not as a grown man, either. I always preferred (and still prefer) to be outdoors. But when I am inside, the TV is generally on. Even [...]

Resolute

Sunday, December 31st, 2006

Another year comes to an end. At the risk of sounding like an old man, doesn’t it seem like each year goes by faster than the previous? I wonder what it must be like for Granny at 89 years old.
Tonight people will go out to dinner, to clubs, and parties. Some will [...]
