Just popping in to say hello to everyone and apologize for not keeping things up to date. I am currently on the road in Muncie, Indiana as I prepare to move here next month. I just got here yesterday, after spending the first part of the week traveling to Kansas City and back, then to West Plains, MO on Tuesday and back to Columbia on Wednesday. Between homework and traveling and identifying potential new employers, I just haven't had much time to post here.
So bare, er, bear with me and I'll have something new and fun for you to read soon. If you absolutely can't wait for something new, go order a copy of my book, The Erotic Adventures of Steve and Brooke. The link is over on the left somewhere...trust me, I really think you'll find it...stimulating...

Sad and Strange
Strange, yes...I'll give you that. But sad....not so much! Every so often when I get bored, I will surf the net in search of the strange de-motivational type posters out there. I found this one today.
I am a unique individual and even at 45, I continue to learn more and more about myself everyday. Today I have rationalized part of my lifestyle, in addition to why both of my marriages failed. If I'm right, there is no reason why my current relationship can't last the rest of my life. As soon as I come up with the proper way to express my thoughts, including some pictures to go with it, I'll be back to explain myself further...

A Word of Caution...
If you had information that you truly believed somebody needed to know, yet you knew that the person who needed the info would not believe you for whatever reason, would you still try to tell them?
What if that information was vital to their well-being, their personal safety? What if you knew that someone was entering into what could potentially be a harmful, abusive relationship?
I know that the person I need to tell this to would not believe me. They would make excuses. They would tell me that I was imagining things, that I was just spitting out sour grapes, that I was obviously mistaken. Maybe I am mistaken, but wouldn't you prefer to err on the side of caution?
I have been wrong before, but over the past few years, I have turned out to be a fairly good judge of character. It was assumed however that I was just imagining it.
So let me just throw this out there and if the person who needs to know this is reading then they can take it for what its worth.
Watch your back. Please be careful. And please don't rush into doing something that you will likely regret a few months, if not years, down the road. Regardless of what you may think of me, regardless of what may have transpired, just know that I do care about you and your well being.

Today is the First day of...
Today, I took the first step in changing my life. It was my last day on the job at MU.
Some people would think I was nuts, but really, I think this change is for the better. In fact, I can now focus on the next step I want to accomplish - finishing the science class I am taking for college. There are only 4 weeks to go, so it shouldn't be much of a challenge but I do have about a week's worth of travel coming up during that time span so I really have to get down to business and get a few assignments done early.
Following this class, I need to get my divorce settled. I have been trying to keep my marriage issues private and not air any dirty laundry out of respect for her, but today she threw the first stone by publicly stating her wish that she would get served with divorce papers. While I am willing to oblige her with that request, I will simply state for the record that she is the one who first chose to walk away from this marriage. That said, my intention is to get the ball rolling on that over the next week and hopefully it will be resolved relatively soon.
Step 3 is trying to find a new job. In this economy, it's going to be tough enough. However, I am expanding my search zone, so to speak. For more details, see step 4.
Step 4: Moving to Indiana. Those who have been paying close attention are probably already aware of this step, but the move is scheduled. In just a few very short weeks, I shall be loading up and heading east to Muncie, IN. After 16 years with MU and all of the crap that has taken place in my life last year, I think a fresh start is definitely in order, and what better place to do that than in another state with someone who lets me know in no uncertain terms everyday just how much I mean to her. And in return, words from me cannot express just how much she has meant to me and still does each and every day.
Hang in there Tammy. I'll be home soon.

When I snap my fingers, you shall....
Hypnosis. Fun stuff, huh?
Alas, I bring you no flashing lights, no swirling images, no suggestions that you are getting sleepy or warm or aroused. But if you bare, er, bear with me on this, I'll give you a little bonus material at the bottom of this post.
Still with me? Good....
I have always had an interest in hypnosis, whether it be for clinical use, or entertainment, or even just trying to see if you can get someone to do something they might not normally do (having a "Scrubs' moment as I flash back to my high school years and the crush I had on one of the girls). I have always thought that hypnosis was possible under the right circumstances, following the "You can't be hypnotized if you're not willing to be hypnotized" theory.
That said, I once took part in a hypnosis session. It was about 20 years ago at a bar in Columbia. A hypnotist/entertainer was doing a show and took several volunteers from the audience. A friend and I volunteered while our girlfriends sat in the audience and watched.
The key to hypnosis is total relaxation and allowing yourself to open up to suggestion. The hypnotist worked with all of us and asked us to close our eyes and counting backwards we all entered various stages of relaxation. Some of us literally went limp in our chairs. When he determined we were ready, he put us through our paces and gave each of us various suggestions as to what we would think, say, or do. No one had to get naked and dance on stage because as he said, a hypnotized person can't be made to do something they wouldn't normally do. Of course, that's not to say I wouldn't have danced naked anyway, but still...
So anyway, it was suggested to me that I was completely normal (weird, huh?) except I believed that 3+3 equaled 5. The hypnotist paired me up with a young lady who was told she could not remember her own name. Of course, she knew that 3+3 equaled 6 and found it hilarious that I thought it was 5. During our "performance", we bantered back and forth and she asked me how I could possibly think 3+3 was 5, so I counted out on my fingers - Left hand: 1, 2, 3, right hand, 4, 6, 5! The crowd laughed.
"No, no, NO!" she said. "That's wrong!"
I then responded with, "Look, you don't even know your own name, what makes you think you can add numbers?"
And the crowd went crazy...
We sat down at that point and the hypnotist moved on to someone else.
After it was all done and the hypnotist let us all leave the stage and go back to our seats, he reminded us that hypnosis was simply a deep state of relaxation and a when a person has rested and relaxed for a period of time, they generally wind up refreshed and energized. He wasn't kidding.
I felt like I had just had a full night's sleep. It was a wonderful feeling, after having worked early early that day. If anyone gets an opportunity to try it, I say go for it. Don't worry about having to cluck like a chicken, or get down on all fours like a dog and then sniff someone's butt. Just enjoy it. Maybe it will be your butt that gets sniffed, who knows.
So anyway, you've made it this far, so it's time for that bonus I promised you. This is a story about what else - hypnosis! I found this online last night and while some of you may not care for girl-on-girl action, remember...it's about the journey, not the destination. This has quickly become one of my favorite works of erotic fiction. It comes from a website called mcstories.

One little, two little, three little nipples...wait... what?
Ever since Chandler Bing revealed to the world on Friends his secret of having a superfluous third nipple, I wondered if that was even possible. I mean, I've been around in my 45 years and I've never seen or heard of anyone actually having three nipples, unless maybe you count fantasy scenes in movies like Total Recall or Kung Pow: Enter the Fist.
A lot of people who have them, I'm told, wind up having them surgically removed. And that does make sense, because really now...who wants to have a nipple sticking out of their forehead? (Seriously, there have been cases...).
But today I find a you tube video revealing that singer Lily Allen also has a third nipple. In fact, in the video below she even reveals that it gets hard when you touch it - right after the interviewer has stroked it a couple times.
And oh yeah, we are also reminded that The Simpsons' Krusty the Clown also has a third nipple.
Do you have a third nipple? Know of anyone who does? Share your knowledge and post links in the comments section!

I'm a Viewer, Get Me Out of Here!
Is anybody still watching I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!?
Seriously, this show was mildly entertaining on Monday night when it began, but I think even the most casual viewer can see that they are just making things up as they go along. I didn't watch last night - 2 nights were enough for me - and although it really doesn't mean squat to me anymore, I'm hearing that last night's live portion of the show ended with the celebs taking a vote on whether or not the Bratts, er, Pratts (Heidi & Spencer) could return to the show after making what was probably their 27th exit in the first 2 episodes.
I have a major problem with this. These two act all high and mighty and think they are a couple of A-List celebs thrown in with some E-listers. They think they don't deserve to deal with such hardships (it's a jungle, hello!). Then they leave moments before a public vote is taken to see which of the remaining women will have to leave. This little maneuver of Speidi's removed Heidi from the risk of elimination (Patti B had already been saved by the men's team). Now that the public vote was taken, they want to come back? Bull Doggie Snot! If they get back onto the show, whichever woman that gets eliminated is going to have a legitimate beef with the way things are being allowed to run.
Now, that said, in the two nights that I did watch the show, I have to say I'm very impressed with Sanjaya Malakar (American Idol Season 6 contestant) and Patti B (wife of impeached Governor Rod Blagojevich) and how they've handled themselves. Sanjaya pretty much goes with the flow and I don't think he's complained once, even after he has been denied a bed twice. When I heard Patti was going to be on the show (her husband was the one NBC wanted, but the Feds wouldn't let him leave the country), I thought we would see some whiny, spoiled, aristocrat. But she has been nothing like that and lasted longer in the trauma tank Monday night than most of the other women.
Other thoughts? Post in the comments below...

Sports: St Louis Cardinals Manager suing Twitter
According to an article in the St. Louis Post Dispatch, we have learned that after several attempts at contacting Twitter to have a fake twitter page removed, St Louis Cardinals Manager Tony LaRussa has filed suit against Twitter for trademark infringement.
As it turns out, someone has setup a twitter account using the manager's name and picture, as well as making several references to the Cardinals (some of them vulgar) and references to two former pitchers, now deceased.
Stay tuned...

Rumor: Rare photo surfaces of kU coach
Sometimes the ideas for these posts just flow right out of the brain and onto the paper, screen, whatever. And other times, you got nothin'. Then there are also those times when something gets passed on to you and you know you should probably just let it die, but you can't. You feel compelled to share it with the world.
Below is a picture of the kU football coach, apparently from his younger days of competition....

Sports Rumor: Yankees to Trade A-Rod to Cardinals
Wow. You'd think with all the controversy surrounding A-Rod and steroids, St Louis would stay away from this one. But the Cardinals need a 3rd baseman and depending on who you talk to A-Rod would love to get out of New York, so there ya go...
Rumor of the Day: Keanu Reeves named in Paternity Suit; children are now adults
Just in - Keanu Reeves has been named in a paternity suit filed by an Ontario, Canada woman who claims that Reeves is the father of her four children, who are now adults. The suit seeks $150,000 a month in back child support retroactive to June 1988.
Says Reeves, "Bogus!!"
Bonus points to the first person to guess the barely hidden movie reference in this post.

Rumor: Upset Schwarzenegger to make new Terminator movie after term of office is up?
Today I logged into my blogger account hoping to get some advice regarding Google AdSense from one of my co-workers. Unfortunately, he had never heard of AdSense so he couldn't help me. I tried to explain a little bit about to him because I have not really had any major success with it and was hoping maybe he could give me some pointers.
But when I pulled up my AdSense account, I saw something I hadn't expected to see: Money.
$0.01, in fact! Woohoo!!!
Apparently, during some recent time period, 502 page impressions were made. This gave me a bright shiny new penny. But where did those page impressions come from? Well, probably from you, dear reader. And quite possibly from a few people west of Missouri in Jayhawk land.
You see, I get people coming here for many reasons, but only one post has been inspiring enough to draw comments from readers. It was my post on alleged NCAA violations committed by Bill Self at the University of Kansas (don't get your panties in a bunch, I said alleged!). Now I have no idea if the violations are true or not, but when you read them all lumped together like that, they are sure to piss off even the most casual KU fan.
So I have a theory. That theory is that what will draw the readers in, to stick around and read what I write and comment about it, are rumors. So let's give this a shot, shall we?
Rumor:
This just in...California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is supposedly very disappointed with the new Terminator Salvation movie and wants to direct and star in a new version of this chapter after his term of office has ended. The title - Terminator Resurrection.
True or not? Hmmmm....wouldn't it be interesting?
