Dancing

"So how come you are not dancing," I asked her as she leaned against one of the tables in the dark corner of the room. "Because I am shy," She replied. "What does that have to do with dancing?" I asked, smiling as I said it. It was funk night at the bar and the dance floor was filled with people bouncing to the beat. I had noticed her before in front of the ladies room running her fingers through her long blond hair. Something that she did for many years after we met. I finally had the nerve to go up to talk with her and with my friend in tow we both were talking with girls from her party. We stared at each other for a brief moment before I heard my friend say, "hey do you want to get out of her." They were sisters we found out and lived not too far from where my friend had an apartment. "We can go back to my place and then you guys can share a cab home," he pointed to me and the girls. "Sure," they both nodded i

Recovery

My wife has decided to take the first step towards recovery. She has been pushing it back for years now and our relationship has suffered because of it. I have been patient because I love her, but it has been difficult to deal with for all these years. When my wife was a child she was sexual assaulted by one of her mom's boyfriends. This is something that she rarely talks about but has been haunting her for years. Then when she was on vacation in Hawaii she was date raped by a local and her asshole of a boyfriend instead of supporting her was mad that she put herself in that situation. Needless to say sex has been a problem since we were married. It is interesting to note that before we were married our sex life was wild. We had some great times and there was little that we did not try or enjoy. The problem is not the sex it is the intimacy, the trust. She has indicated that when she loves someone she no longer feels comfortable with the sex part. I guess in her mind the

Music Tames the Savage Beast

I watch too much TV. I admit it. It is a problem that I have. For years I did not even own a TV, let alone have any idea what was actually on. Now, however, it is all that I do when I come home from work. It helps me unwind. It keeps my mind off the other issues that I have in my life and I get lost in some of the stories that I watch. Of course there are only a handful of channels and a few programs that I watch all the time, and many others that I will not even remotely come near when they are on. I pretty much hate all reality TV. All the stupid make me a star programs are redundant and overplayed. In fact I do not watch much network TV at all. But enough about TV. What I need to do is stop turning it on when I get home. Recently I have been trying to listen to music while I do other things around the house, like clean or read and that typically puts me in a much better mood than when I watch TV. It definitely changes the mood of the rest of the evening. Sometimes I

The Conference

She sat a few tables in front of me. I noticed her glance back as she sat down. Was she looking for me I could not tell, but I could see her eyes search the room briefly. The lights dimmed in the conference hall and I used the opportunity to get up and slide into the open seat next to her. Her head tilted toward me but it was too dark for her to make out exactly who was taking the seat. The presenter started up, the video was being introduced. My hand fumbled underneath the table. There was a large tablecloth that hung down almost clear to the floor making it impossible to see what I was doing. I felt in the dark until I hit the hem of her skirt. She moved her leg slightly away as if it was an accidental brush. I moved closer as I touched the top of her bare knee. She did not move this time but I could feel her look toward me. Still she could not make out who was touching her leg now in the darkness of the hall. Moving my hand up to her thigh I could sense her anticipation

Inspiration

I have to admit. I have quite a crush on a fellow blogger. I admitted it to her today while chatting with her on my google chat. I owe quite a bit to her and the other bloggers that have followed her over the years but I have also been an avid reader of her blog and admirer of her posts and pictures and everything else. Her blog has been mentioned on here before but I felt that I should mention her again, because she has inspired me to maintain a constant update of my life on here no matter what I write about. We also had a discussion regarding posting pictures again. I had this idea a while back but never did post any pictures. Since we no longer have half nekkid Thursday I thought that maybe I would start posting some of the outtakes of those photos. You know the ones that you try to take and the flash goes off too soon, or the angle is not right or you almost knock yourself out trying to take a naked picture of you while doing a handstand. So to start this and hopefully keep i

Reconnecting

Yesterday was a day of reconnecting. I reconnected with a good friend through google and she asked me how everything was going with my wife. I answered quite honestly that things are good but we are distant. While I have been pretty distant with this friend and I do not really know her other than online, we do have pretty good connection were able to continue our relationship where we left off. That, however, is a lot harder to do with my wife. The funny thing is that I have had some brief connections with my friend over these years but it was like things were back where they were before our lapse in communication.  With my wife, I have a harder time reconnecting, and we never had a lapse in communication in the literal sense.  Maybe that comes from living together for so long, that you lose what you found most interesting in this person and your conversations become stagnant. Our communication was never really that great but we did have a lot of common interests a
