What has gotten into me this month? Three postings? That has to be a new record or something. I'm not even sure why I keep this up. I suppose it is to keep connected with some fabulous people I've encountered over the past ten years or so...
Maybe it was longer than that....
My internet experience started back before there were these things called browsers. You had to type Unix commands to access sites. But I wasn't interested in the growth of the internet I was only on to play a MUD! I sat in front of my monochrome monitor on my little 286 computer making my way through the zones and player killings of (insert tense music, 'dun, dun, dun'), The Final Challenge. In this little universe I came up with my two most favorite MMRPG and Internet handles, (Triston and Venthor). I was the first evil character to ever max out on a multi-classed character (level 50 or 30-30-30). While I wasn't one of the first people to play that mud, I certainly was in the very early stages of the mud. I haven't played much, but a few years ago I did have the opportunity to go to a few get-togethers down in Chicago. Those were a blast.
Since I'm pretty much a geek, this whole internet thing fascinated me. I heard you could use pictures and stuff. So I left the command line world and found myself inside a browser. I don't remember which browser I lost my internet virginity on, but I found myself wanting more and more. Hell I even found my job at Trek through the internet.
I never got pulled into the sub-culture of the web. I tried to stay inside of windows and its programming as I hopped from job to job. I always dabbed in web programming, downloaded a few napster songs back in the day and found lots of pictures of nakkid women. Ah the age of information at my fingertips was exciting.
Then EverQuest came along and I got sucked back into playing an on-line game. This game enthralled me the first time I picked up the box at the store. It was everything I dreamed about when I was 15 and playing dungeon and dragons (old school style...paper, pencils and imagination). The graphics wowed me (no pun intended). I ate the game up and it consumed me worse than any other game in history. And I met even more amazing people in that game. I also met the one woman who got away. But I would never trade that time I spent with her and I owe that game to being able to meet Mic. And there were other people who I became closely connected too. Spending hours waiting for things to appear or to fight through dungeons has a way of bring people together. But people move on and lives change in time. Some people were smart and gave the game up knowing that their lives were consumed by a virtual world. I hung on. Not to really play the game, but to stay close to those I cared about.
After I got divorced I think the game became less important to me. I found myself happy with who I was and I changed some things about what I was. My career became more important than trying to level a cartoon. I tried to start relationships. I failed, but I tried. I made a few mistakes because I wasn't patient, but I learned from it all. (I still wasn't getting enough sex. Maybe it was all the computer games I was(am) playing. Nah.....)
And of course there was World of Warcraft. While I enjoyed the game, it never became what TFC or EQ did. I spent my fair share of time there. Met some nice people, but I never allowed anyone there to get too close. I tried to keep it what it was...a game.
Now I'm working for a company and I'm the Lead Programmer in designing an Intranet Web Application. It is pretty cutting edge stuff. While the project managers have no clue on how to manage a project like this, it is exciting to see what we are trying to make a web site (browsers, data base and such do...).
Now I've become the geeky hands on nerd of the web. I know more than I ever thought on putting together a web application. Oh, I dabbled and 'knew' enough to put together some light-weight web pages together, but this is different. I hope I can convince the people I work for that I know what I'm doing and they should listen, but when they write the paychecks you let them direct the traffic to a certain point.
However something in the future scares me. Conan...it looks freakin' cool. But who has time to play that? By the way, I've finally mastered a few 'expert' songs in Rock Band...
I have a feeling when I'm in my retirement home. I'll be the only one there still playing video games. I'm such a ner...geek.

Hell week
From every direction, from every experience this past week was hell. To even begin to describe it would call forth demons from the underworld to laugh and mock at my misery. I'd start to complain about work and personal life, but I already hear the cackling of the evil beasts lurking in the background, so suffice it to say it sucked.
How do you turn a bad time/situation around? Without taking a header into a brick wall that is, because while the pain might feel 'good' I don't think that is an ever lasting solution. I think the best way is to surround yourself with friends. Only certain kinds of friends will do, because those at work will only remind you of the turmoil you are constantly facing. The only kinds of friends that can get you out of a terrible set of circumstances are those who can make you laugh and feel good.
These friends are the ones you want to hang around with anyways. It is quite possibly the reason your week has been so terrible. Which usually leads to your significant other. If this person is giving you shit, chances are you cannot escape your problems. What do you do then? You need to explore your circle of friends that you two are mutually friends with. Why? Because if you go hang out with your friend(s) you are tempted to 'talk up' the problems you are having with that person. Since they are with you and it would cause a relationship faux pas to bitch about that person within earshot. Even if you didn't think so, the hell you thought you were living with will get worse.
So you've excluded your partner, your co-workers and your exclusive friends it leaves those who know both of you and that can have some fun. I don't think it creates a blissful existence, but a window of time exists where you can forget about your troubles. It may even give you a shove off in the right direction as you glean that maybe the problems you are having don't seem to be as bad as you first thought.
Or you can come home after a few hours and realize that not only does your life suck, but it's worse than you thought.

V-day
So it's that day. The dreaded day that never seems to work out for me. No matter what I do or how romantic I am I seem to fall flat on my face. Sometimes I'm chasing the wrong woman and no matter what I do, it isn't enough. Or it could be possibly I'm with someone, but I always expect more than I get. That is probably my fault not hers.
I've thought more about writing something serious again. However, work is so overwhelming I don't have time to sleep let alone anything else. I hope this is all worth it. I won't bore you with the details, because its just more work on top of other work. The problem is by the time I come home I don't want to do anything creative. I'm beyond spent. I don't think I've worked less than 60 hours a week since September. Okay, maybe the two weeks around Christmas and New Years were a bit less. Still I've been on a killer pace every other week.
How have your V-day's been? Are you ready to run off to Key West with me yet? Not that I'd get much interest, but it is a usual thought in the back of my mine. Espcially this winter. It has sucked!!!
Speaking of running away...I wonder what type of woman I would want to escape with. A woman with a bit of age around the corners who can't get enough of sex. Or a 20 something young woman who can't stop, full of energy and of course can't get enough sex. I sense a theme here. Maybe its that last condition, despite age or much anything else. I've always thought that if I did something like that. I'd get cursed with a ding-bat that can't think of anything but herself. A strange curse, a beautiful woman who intelliectually could give a box of rocks a run for the money.
Did I say I'm tired of winter yet???
Well time for this drive by post to sputter by...

Sex streak
One thing I was wondering is the longest consecutive streak of continuous days of having sex. Of course there would have to be some stipulations, because sex is such an ambiguous term. I'm defining it as intercourse because it requires the most physical toils on both the man on the woman. Oral sex is usually one-sided. While masturbation is well, usually with yourself (although it can be fun...but that's a different topic).
I think 8 days in a row is my record, but I'm not sure. There was once this time with this woman (yes I remember her name, but not the exact details), where we had gobs of sex, but I'm not sure if it was everyday. I guess I should also add that the sex has to be with the same person. I mean...ew gross...if it was multiple partners over a long stretch.
Since most women get their visitor every 28 days or so, I would think that would be their limit. The women I've known that period of time is off-limits. (Excuse the bad pun.) Would anyone, especially a woman want to have sex that often? Would that make them a sex-fiend? And what would anybody say if you counted the number of times during that time? So if someone had sex twice or thrice a day for two weeks straight. Is that even possible? And if so, where is she? Heh.
On average though I bet couples have it once a week, less possibly if you have young kids. Sometimes life makes it so you just can't get wild and nekkid any time you want. Which is a damn shame.
I doubt anyone will share, but it would be interesting to know what is your longest active sex streak?
And btw Kat, any man would be lucky to even know you let alone be able to share your life. If they don't it is their fault not yours! Box of rocks....silly girl!

Happy B-Lated XMAS/NEW YEAR
Here I am once again. I've skipped past Christmas and breezed through New Year without updating my blog. I'm such a bad boy! Oh yes you should spank me!! Er...I'm getting a HEAD of myself. Yet again I'm bad (eg).
Christmas was nice. PS3 with Rock Band, although I wish I would have gotten the 360 version of it so I could use the Guitar Hero guitars with it. Sony has the patch, but they can't release it. Once they do I'll get one I suspect. I have lots of fun drumming. I've actually gotten further with the guitar, but the drums are a nicer challenge. In reality I got the PS3 more for the Blu-Ray player than anything else, but since you can play games on it as well. I said, what the fuck. Right?
I haven't had much of a chance to do much of anything since work has been increasing over the past few months. When I needed work last year I couldn't find it and now I can't stop it from coming in. I guess that is good (extra money is always nice I suppose).
I'm still sex crazed and lack the ability to quench my dangerous desires, but that will continue to happen until the day I die. I'm sometimes scared I'll do something moderately dangerous and get myself in some trouble, but hey isn't that what life is about (living on the edge?). However now that I'm *gasp* older I doubt I'll ever go through with some of my dangerous (albeit evil/sensuous) thoughts. I think if I get rich in the next 5 years of so, I'm going to find me a wild 20 year old that will need to keep up with me. Heh. I'd end up finding one that is as dumb as a box of rocks and be bored anyways.
Well I need to get my asp.net stuff figured out yet today. Maybe some day soon I'll actually write something worthwhile again. Yeah right.

Wow
I can't believe that it is almost December and I haven't posted in like forever. I doubt anyone checks this site anymore. I mean would I, if I didn't expect it to be updated at least once in a while? Probably not. I guess life makes it difficult to keep doing this. It isn't that I don't want too, but so much time is put into doing the responsibility kind of things that by the end of the day, I'm not wanting to think much.
Still it isn't an excuse. I'm bad at keeping this I suppose. All the good intentions would be the catch phrase I would use to describe it, but still it isn't enough. You've got to do it.
I'd really would like to start writing seriously again. But that isn't going to happen any time soon I fear. I've have a regular job once again that demands 45 or so hours a week, plus I'm still doing my own company on the side which is getting busy again. Right now I've been averaging about 70ish hours a week. It gets pretty exhausting. My brain wants to turn off and do stupid things like play the 360, Lotro or even Wow. I've given up on WoW since I really can't compete with raiding and stuff. I'm looking forward to Conan-online but who knows about that.
I should go. I'd promise to write more, but who are we kidding. I'll try not to be so distant. I miss all of you who have read this. I wish we could talk on a regular basis. If you have an IM name send it to me and I'll look for you. I have it on @ work.

Whew...
Life has been hell these past few months.
I've been working steady 60 hour weeks since Labor Day. Two weeks ago I had to scramble around for some Packers (Football tickets) for my son and I to attend a game. And then this past weekend I had to get the house ready for a going to Iraq party for him. That meant repainting most of the house and steam cleaning the floors.
It was all worth it. About 25-30 people showed to send him off. He deploys at the end of next month. Its strange to see my grown son going through all of this stuff. It uses to be that many of his memories I shared with him. Since he has been in the Army for the past year and a bit, he has so many experiences I can't really relate too since I've never been in that situation.
Its weird how they get older how much they are the same child you've always known, but they are growing into their own selves even more so as they venture into this huge world.
All of this has eaten up most of my life. I still carry the same issues: Not enough sex...need more sex...want more sex...and I sometimes just want to fuck. But those are standard issues you've all read before. I think I'm a bit crazy in that department. I was thinking about this the other day about how the simplest of things can really turn me on. I often wonder if it is as common with other men.
The way a woman smells can really drive me wild. Not just perfume, but the usual scent they prefer. I believe researchers relate it back to memory, but damn it gets me wild. I love the softness of a woman's skin. Its almost like silk. My hand can brush up against her arm or leg and I've gone from 0 to 60 in the amount of time my hand starts touching until my brain realizes how soft she is. Sometimes its the way she says my name or the glint in her eyes. And as I've been reminded by many, a small breeze from the south can get me going. I guess it doesn't take me much.
