Insomnia And A Prayer 26 February 2019

#insomnia #brokenness

I am up again. Been up a since 2:00 AM. I have this irrational fear that I may be missing something, but what that may be I don’t know.

So I am watching travel videos, shot in the 1930’s, on YouTube. Good old YouTube.

I feel sleep wanting to creep back in. And tears of a great sadness I can’t begin to describe.

I mourn those who have passed, my mother, father, brother, ex-wife, for starters.

I grieve the evil possessing Holy Mother Church.

I fear the modern world has fallen and worshipped the transitory and worldly instead of the eternal and Divine.

I must do what I can to set things a right.

And I fear failure. What I should fear is not trying, of shrinking from the challenge, of running away..

God, help me.

#kidney_stones

Putting my desire and lust on hold, I revert to caregiver. Not unusually nor infrequently do I make the transition. You see, my beloved suffers from kidney stones.

There are times, as in right now, when the situation indicates that it isn’t about what I want or even need. That is a good thing, all in all. I don’t want to exaggerate my selflessness or altruism. But her needs have taught me things about myself. and serve to put my needs in context.

Later this afternoon

J finally passed the stone. Usually they no bigger than a grain of sand. This stone was almost as large as a pebble. How it even passed through her urethra truly astonished me.

I’m going to bed soon. And yet…. The world in my imagination offers little real world solace.

Her Back To My Front

#Making_love

NSFW. Sexual Theme.

She had her back to me as I climbed into the bed. She was naked, thank God. I was too worked up to strip off even her nightgown. I could sense the warmth of her buttocks, my prick found the inviting contour of her ass, wedging into the crack, but too dry to do much more and I was yet to decide if I wanted her delicious and eager cunt, or whether I would claim her anus and, in that crude and primal way, claim her.

She wiggled back, showing interest. I spit in my hand and reached below her belly, parting her cunt lips. I stroked a bit, while I kissed and nibbled her neck, seeking a rhythm to my stroking, while she kept grinding back on me.

I wanted her to want me as badly as I wanted her now.

A game of wanting and longing and teasing and tempo it would be.With my free hand, I spread her ass cheeks,and with a wet finger I pushed against her puckered rose. Just a little. Just enough for her to wonder. Then I stopped, raised her leg, found her slick and open pussy. My cock teased the lips then thrust in, while I frigged her clit.

“ Put that finger back in my ass. Fill me.”

Her hand found my fingers on her clit. She took to directing them, guiding me making my fingers hers. She increased the tempo.

“Yes, yes. Oh shit!“

That much I remember. That was all I cared about then.We gave over to feeling and heat. I longed for this to never end.

This moment. Now. Forever.

Sleep?

Well I took this pill for my bronchitis and now I can’t sleep. Plus it must swell a man’s prostate temporarily because my urine stream is a trickle. Oh well.

I am going to give sleeping another go in a short.

Cold Morphs To Bronchitis

#Maria Beatty

Wherein I bewail the lingering nature of a common cold and castigate myself for being a mere mortal.

I am sitting here, fearful I will become permanently attached to my rather nice leather recliner with matching foot stool. The cold that began Monday morphed into bronchitis and a general feeling of fatigue. Yuck. I took some Guafenisin and hopefully that will help in clearing my bronchii. It is in the form of a 12 hour combination medicine with pseudoepinephrine, which usually gets me drowsy. We shall see.

I am doing some trainspotting, although most of the trains scheduled to pass through Ashland around this time have already gone by.

My body is in rest and recover mode. I am vain enough to take this a personal defeat. Being sick is not a failure on my part. Why is that so hard to grasp? (Is this a male ego thing?)

I am now going to have fun. Some DVD’s, maybe Maria Beatty’s The Elegant Spanking would be fun. Perhaps, just NC-17 rated Henry and June is in order. I could watch the documentary Paris Was A Woman and limit my viewing to general cultural improvement. First though, CARTOONS!

Later Loves 💘

I find myself awake and I wonder why. Feelings drift in. Fatigue. Boredom. Yearning. Love.

I have warm thoughts for the people in my life, even those I know only through the cyberworld.

I should go back to bed.

I’ve been picking at the last few blog posts I have made as if they were scabs on an old and almost healed wound. I don’t know what else to do. I really am tired. I want to get back to the pool tomorrow, cold or no cold. I need to buy more fruit. And rice crackers, the staples of Life Itself.

I am watching plus size Brazilian models show off women’s underwear. I know, I’m creepy for watching this, but the body positivity is not some idea offered by the pop psychologists. Here are big women who are wearing nice looking underwear. And people are deciding if other big women will buy this underwear so they can feel good about being big. Kinda like why I buy and wear flannel boxers because they feel good and I feel good wearing them. I know there are women out there who wear flannel boxers, because they feel good when they wear them. If they had a flannel boxer YT channel I would watch that, most likely. Beats the s#×t out of homicide stories on Lifetime.

But it’s late. Good night.

Sailor Bob

#The Fifties #Television

Doggone it. I am tired. I am almost over The Cold. I did some sleeping, putting everything on hold til I felt better. Don’t know how smart a strategy that was.

Those of us of a certain age In the Richmond VA area remember Sailor Bob, host of a children’s show on local television in the Fifties and Sixties. It was the Golden Age of local television programming. Sailor Bob on the Channel 12 Schooner, sponsored by Nolde’s Bread, Virginia Dairy (The Home of Better Milk) and Pepsi Cola, hosted Popeye cartoons. Sailor Bob also did drawings. It was wonderful innocent fun. We didn’t know that Popeye cartoons dealt in mean-spirited ethnic, racist and sexist stereotypes. It took later years and education (indoctrination) to become “sensitive”.

“Sailor Bob” has died at age 85. His real name was Bob Griggs. He was a good man, a television pioneer from the days when TV was novel, if not particularly exciting.

Today, with computers managing everything and ownership by megacorporations, a station is driven even more by ratings, advertising revenues and a need not to offend the numerous pressure groups barking like hounds at any and every gesture and statement that might kinda, sorta be controversial, television is about as interesting as a trip to the gas station.

But at that time, here was an adult that wasn’t trying to teach us something or tell us to sit up straight.

Like you said at the end of the show. “Here’s wishing you fair weather and smooth sailing.”

Power

#Money, #Public Debt

There is a story, perhaps apocryphal but I doubt it, that former House Speaker, Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neill, when asked what he missed most about holding elected office, replied with two words, “The power.”

This is what politics is all about. Power. That is how friends are rewarded, enemies punished.

So whenever some politician talks about “public service”, I immediately know he or she is lying. How many politicians go to City Hall, the State House, or Congress with the intention of putting limits on their power? Very few, I fancy.

And human behavior has changed very little since 1787, when those much-maligned “dead white men” outlined a model for governance that defined, delineated, and limited the power of government.

Fool proof, almost. Except for the money part. Limited government meant the economy could and would grow independently of the hand and control of government. Then the politicians discovered that not only could they tax an always resistant populace, but they could borrow from  unbelievably wealthy individuals and banks and distribute this largesse through contracts, grants, and handouts to corporations, institutions, and individuals. The rich liked the interest income and relative safety of the loans.The politicians could buy loyalty and with that loyalty purchased with government funds came power. Power became entrenched. Robert Byrd (D-WV) made sure federal money went to West Virginia and West Virginians kept re-electing him.

The trick, for the politician, is to make one’s self look noble while doing this. The politician is merely “addressing the needs of his constituents”. Yep. You betcha. In Virginia, for example, the politicians are strong advocates for national defense. This keeps people in the Tidewater area and the DC suburbs employed and more than a few get rich. After all, we need national defense. And they keep voting for incumbents.

It also helps to buy off the artists, writers, performers, composers, and actors, under the public-spirited heading of  “funding for the Arts”. It worked for Roosevelt in the New Deal. The artist types want to be in the vanguard, so they sell their integrity to be allied with “progressive” politicians.

Anybody who comes along wanting to disturb this dynamic will be vilified.

That’s all I am going to say.
