Thank you Tali!

He is a great friend and I am hoping that soon he will move closer (his farm boy upbringing means that he probably will not deign to live in the city, but a man can dream).

I have been told that I look better with my clothes on, so I will be sure to share a photo of my new suit.

 

[Lonelywife1205]

I like to think that she does

I am not always subtle; she probably knows how much her kindness means to me

She definitely does as yours does to her.

I love these pics of you. And for the record...you don’t look better with clothes on, just equally as good.

 

[MadameSarcasm]

I can't imagine how you could possibly look better with clothes on!

 

[Cthulhu1138]

Kindness has a way of becoming it's own reward.

I appreciate the clarification on clothes.


I rarely dress up, and when I do it is even more tare that I have a decent photo to prove it.

I had to delve deep in to old photos to find this, I hope that everyone enjoys it.

(Rest assured that photos of the new suit will come once it is ready)

You clean up good.

Nice jacket, you look sharp in it, thank you!

Thank you ladies!

Nice to know that I can keep y'all entertained even when I leave my clothes on.

Flexibility

I have never been what one might can a 'bendy' person.

I tried gymnastics as a boy and was rubbish at it.

I have never been able to touch my toes.

When I attempt yoga, it is always awkward, always painful (we will leave the fact that my dogger lies underneath me during every Downward Dog for another time).

When I was in physical therapy, first for a sore ankle and then for my shoulder, I was constantly admonished that "a flexible muscle is a strong muscle" or some such. Each time I told the therapist that my body does not move that way.

I know that flexibility is important, that it is beneficial whether it is physically, politically, emotionally.

So I try, a little every day, to have a little more give, to be a little more like the reed that bends and not the oak that breaks.

 

[MadameSarcasm]

You're a whole lot bendier than I am right now - and looking quite svelte and sexy. Keep bending!

My best friend is getting married. The first guy I ever met in my fraternity and with whom I knew that I wanted to be friends.
The guy who I always thought is cool and hip and talented. The guy who at one point told me not to get married but then 8 or so years later after I met my wife said it was probably okay.
This is the guy who as my best man cried during his best man speech and finally put to rest my doubt that I loved him way more than he loved me.

He has asked me to be his best man. This is going to prove an issue because both of us are fairly improvisational in our styles and are not the biggest fans of preparation.

One thing that is all prepared is the suit that I will be wearing at his wedding ceremony.

I guess that "wine" is a color now. So I have maroon shoes and maroon trousers and a suitcoat, custom made and tailored for the big day. Still waiting for those to come back from the shop.

Those are some nice looking shoes

Thank you my dear!
Flexibility is definitely a journey. A long, arduous journey. Over the course of weeks I can tell a slight difference.

Patience and discipline are virtues that I have in short supply.

But encouraging words from you lovely ladies of Lit certainly help!

Those are some nice looking shoes

They are quite nice looking shoes; sadly my camera cannot capture the rich plum color quite right.

 

[Cthulhu1138]

Received notice that my best man suit is back from the tailor's.

Finally tried on the shirt they gave me; the sleeves seemed incredibly short.

Am wondering if that is a new trend just like short inseams (which makes sense because then they make me get new flashy socks) or if I have the wrong size shirt.

It is not like I worked out all that much in three weeks and now my shoulders are "swole."

I was about to get some writing done, but now I'm all distracted. There's something about a guy in a crisp white shirt that's way too enticing - especially if that's the only thing he's wearing!

I genuinely apologize for being a distraction in your work day.

However, I do like the possibility of enticing you in to some fun thoughts and possibly some very imaginative writings.

 

[vanmyers86]

You look great!

 

[Cthulhu1138]

Nice to see you again and thank you!

(Hoping that your praise is for me)

I write under another name and find your photos quite inspiring as I envision my male characters and imagine the positions they find themselves in. So thank you!

[FONT="times New Roman]This is one of the nicest things someone has ever written about me I think.

It makes me feel like an almost decent person knowing that I can be inspiration for more than angry, clumsy poetry and vitriol.

Thank you Madame

This may seem like a departure, but everyone needs an outlet


Just some things that I need to get out as the days grow colder and shorter and darker...


I am tired of always feeling tired
I am weary of feeling weak
I am sick of feeling sore
I long for the energy I felt when the sun shine bright and I had work to do.

Now I feel a blanket of lead on me through every task, now that the light has faded and the crowds have dispersed

I am so fed up with people maligning my stories

I am over being vague being mistaken for being deep,

Apathy masquerading as wisdom,

Popular, easy answers being portrayed as truth

Charm misconstrued as kindness


I am sick of pretty lies and pretty liars

Sometimes I just want to close mine eyes and sleep

Until the world is over, lost in waves or rain, burnt up and spent, or frozen over.

Could have written this myself! Can't we all just get along?

Absolutely - who else would I be praising, hmm?!

Regarding your latest post, I hope you are doing OK.

My fatigue comes more from within and from the changing of the seasons.

This time can be a difficult transition for me.

There is a little bit of me that is hoping that certain chapters have drawn to a close.

Absolutely - who else would I be praising, hmm?!

Regarding your latest post, I hope you are doing OK.

I saw some about "incorrect thread" in your edit notes. I am always happy to see your comments!

I will be fine after some restful sleep. Just some thoughts and feelings that have been building for a while which needed to be expressed. Thank you.

SwiftFink

As a child of the 1980s, Phil Collins had a heavy hand in crafting the moods and music of my past.

Indeed, there are three of his songs that I consider quite relevant to relatively recent events in my life.

But right now I must confess that the most apt song for my emotions, the tune that just expresses my thoughts and feelings on nights like this is the mashup between Taylor Swift and TOOL.

It has anger, pain, passion, exhaltation, and confusion, as well as a kick-ass bass beat.




I first gained an appreciation of T. Swift as an artist and a person when I saw a beautiful tall, skinny young girl sing the song "Mean" to a bar on a Tuesday night, her father and music teacher watching in the corner. As this young woman faced her fears and confusion armed with an acoustic guitar and the words of another young woman, I was struck with what a positive role model Swift could be for others.

That night was over ten years ago. I am sure that the young lady has had heartbreak and happiness, doubt, confusion, and joy.

I hope that she is a stronger and wiser for it.

You are most welcome. I admire your willingness to share yourself through words from your heart and images of your well-maintained and very sexy body. I don't have that sort of courage. I salute yours.
