I love my new journal because I can post anywhere, any place any time. I’m not dependant on having my html editor and uploading all my code each time. I just load up my posting url, write, post, and it’s all done!
We’ve been in Victoria since Monday afternoon visiting family and doing some photo shoots. Katt and I took some great photos in Ross Bay Cemetary this morning. In the first set she was wearing a gothic black dress that laces up the front (and nothing underneath), and in the latter set she was wearing a semi translucent black shift that *just* covered her cunt. Until the wind came along and blew the tassles out of the way.
We got some nice shots with her straddling some crosses, and in front of some mausoleums. We got a few strange looks while doing the photos as people walked by and the grounds keepers cut the grass. Nothing out of the ordinary however!
Tomorrow we go to take photos in a new place. I believe the photos will be done in a nursery thats being offered for photo use by one of Katt’s correspondants. I’m not exactly sure what sorts of photos she’ll want to do, but I’m sure they’ll be good. I’ll be taking the photos, so I *know* they’ll be good.
Anyways, we’ve been enjoying the 30 degree weather. I’ve been drinking lots of beer and eating good food. Other than sleeping on a double bed with a lovely big Katt and a small piggy, life is good!

I enjoyed a nice day on Wednesday. Iggy and Katt and I went to the beach, of course, and then we came home. I had my class in the evening, which was pretty good. I found holding my arms up for an extended period of time difficult as my arms were already sore from the gym the previous day.
I took today off from the gym to let my very stiff muscles recouperate. Katt lovingly reminded me not to overtrain and give my muscles time to rest. So tomorrow is my regular training day, and Saturday I’ll gym.
Katt and I saw the pirates of the Carribbean today. It was pretty good. It was funny enough and action packed enough to keep me entertained for the majority of the movie.
We’re going to go out of town for a few days to see Katt’s family next week. I’m going to make sure I take lots of pictures, whether they are nudie butt or just happy pug pictures.
In general there’s not a whole hell of a lot new. I’m looking forward to getting out of the city for a few days.

I had a fun day today. I woke up around 11:30 and did a bit of kitchen tidy up, and then took Iggy to the park for an hour or so between 1pm and 2pm, and then I went out for my gym and swim.
This is the first time I’ve lifted weights in 3+ years, so I wasn’t sure going in how well my muscles would respond to lifting after so long. I was really surprised how well I felt both during and after the lifting. My regular training has kept me in good shape and has improved my strengthj as well. When I was lifting 3 years ago I was lucky if I could bench press 140lbs. My one rep maximum is now 245 lbs! Cripeys.
The swim afterwards was pretty heavenly, except for all the old people clogging the lanes while swimming at 1/8th of the speed I swim. Thats what the slow lane is for, unfortunately with limited lanes people spread out. Ah well. I managed 800m at a decent clip.
Katt and I went out for dinner with her submissive jOni tonight in the evening to the Irish Heather here in Gastown. I indulged in a few Kilkenny and had lamb stew for dinner. Very tasty!
In the evening we came back and I took some photos of Katt and her sub.
I also found a great online diet and fitness manager. It’s a great site that allows you to record what you’ve eaten during the day as well as your exercise during the day. It’s quite a nice tool for keeping track of what you eat and seeing exactly how much crap you feed yourself in a day.
I also printed out a weight lifting journal so I can keep track of the weight I use and to allow myself to develop a program to maximize my benefits. I’m looking to gain some muscle mass and burn some fat. So I have a plan in mind to do that. My goal weight is just under 200lbs although I don’t mind being heavier so long as it’s healthy weight.
I haven’t been spending too much time on the computer lately for a few reasons: a) it’s too hot upstairs to stay up here for more than a few minites or to sleep, and b) I’ve been getting out of the house a lot more.
Oh, I’ve also got a ncie tan coming along from my walks to the beach with Iggy! I’ve still got the salmon belly, but I’m working on it!
(It’s just too damn hot to feel really sexy )

It feels like we must have had the hottest day of the year today. It was over 30 degrees and humid! I woke up at noon after several pillow changes and multiple fan direction changes. I did some cleaning and some laundry and finally went to train for a few hours in the evening.
I felt pretty good about my training tonight. There are a few small things I have to fix still, but those will be fixed as my flexibility increases. 2 months in to my stretching routine at home and my flexibility hasn’t increased very much, but I’m exercising some patience.
I sweat like crazy when I train, especially in this heat. I always carry a towel with me. At the end of an hour I’ve usually soaked through my shirt and the towel is totally drenched. Any time I bend over or make a quick move the sweat sprays off of me. Thus the towel comes in handy for keeping the sweat contained and from not getting on other people! I have an effiecient cooling system!
I just finished writing 5 or 6 pages of work that I’m doing for a client at about 1am. I’m hoping to get it completely finished tomorrow or weds night so it’s done. I’ve been doing it in fits and starts when I have the time. I gave an estimate that I’d be finished by the friday after next, so getting it done early would be good.
I’m going to gym and pool tomorrow from 2-4′ish. Anyone want to come with me?

Let’s see… Saturday I went to see bad Boys II, a few scenes of which were really gross. Otherwise it was a typical car chase shoot ‘em up. I read a book on Froday and another one on Saturday. Sunday I took iggy to the park in the early afternoon for a swim and fetch, and when we got home, Katt & I went for a walk downtown and browsed a few stores and had some sushi for lunch. And tonight I watched Die Another Day, the most recent Bond movie. I enjoyed it, but Bond is losing his sparkle.
Iggy and I have been enjoying our daily walks to the beach for a swim in the ocean. It’s so much fun to watch him pig paddle through the water and watch his little tail wagging as he goes to get his squeaky ball. He’s very very very cute.
When he was bringing the ball back and doing his pig paddle at one point today, another dog swam over to him and did a two paw dunk to Iggy so that he could get Iggy’s ball. I can’t say how much it aggravates me when people have out of control dogs off leash that overwhelm other dogs and dog owners. I had to do a bit of threatening to get the guy to take his dogs away because they kept trying to bug Iggy and dunk him while he was swimming. ie) Your dog hurts my dog and I’ll hurt you. The several times I asked nicely didn’t seem to work… I hate having to be protective because stupid people do stupid things.
I spent a bit of time last night planning a workout schedule and planning grocery shopping so I actually have tasty *and* healthy food in the house. I’m going to stop jogging as frequently and switch to a longer workout on my regular training days, and add a gym workout followed by a swim on Tue, Thurs and, Fri.
The jogging was killing my ankles. A switch to weight lifting will increase my joint stability and the swimming will will reduce the wear and tear on my joints during cardio. I’ve never been good at long distance swimming. So this will be… er… fun?
I figure that since I have the ability to adjust my schedule, I might as well make use of the time, because who knows what will happen a month or a year from now in regards to how much time I have available. It would suck to be a year down the road and completely swamped and have no time available and look back and realize I didn’t use my free time very effectively.
We’re still waiting on word from our strata council as to whether we can put a window mounted air conditioner in our suite. With the 30 degree plus weather it’s getting unbearable in our condo. Even with the fans on upstairs I soak through my pillow and the bed sheets. I have to switch pillows 2 or 3 times a night(I do way too much laundry), and sleep with a blanket to keep me somewhat dry. I’m spending a lot of time in the shower with the cold water on full blast.
Time to go take the puppy out for his evening walk!

I’m back and feel better than yesterday, even though the lymph nodes are still sore.
I had a gay male leather man ask me if I was a Master, Bondage Top, or Dad today. It is not a question I get asked very often. I have never thought of myself in terms of particular roles, I find that I can slip easily from one role to another depending on my partner and my mood.
I enjoy pretty much everything to do with being a dominant person, from master/slave role play, to bondage,corporal punishment, age play, and more. So much of what turns me on in a scene depends on what gets the biggest reaction from the person I’m interacting with. When I hear my partner moan, scream, beg, plead and see them writhe, bruise, and bleed… thats when I get hot.
I believe that good BDSM play means that both the dominant and submissive are equal partners in a scene, and this is how I approach play in my own life. What I mean by this is that in order for the scene to be enjoyable for both the submissive and the dominant they have to work together. Both the dom & sub are responsible for communicating before the scene to negotiate a scene that works for them both and decide safe words before play starts, and they are both responsible for communicating during play either verbally, through body language, or use of safe words to make sure the scene continues to work for them both.
When I dom or top someone I want to make sure that I’m getting something out of it just as much as I want to make sure the sub is getting his/her needs met.
It is important not to confuse equal responsibility for negotiating and maintaning a good and safe scene with power exchange. They are not the same thing. In fact, many people are not intersted in power exchange and are pure masochists or sadists and are interested in the physical sensations rather than the power exchange.
I like it all. I enjoy being a dominant *and* a sadist. The mindset I come into BDSM play with is that when I engage in power exchange or cane someone until they bleed, I am showing trust, care, respect, and affection for the person I am playing with just as they are for me. I want to be sure that everyone is happy at the end of the day.
I love to experiment. It’s fun to try new things both for myself and the person(s) I’m with in BDSM play and in my sex life, both of which have often been intermixed.
I’ve often said that I don’t any fetishes, per se. There’s no one ‘fetish’ that I would say I have in abundance. To me, it’s all good, so long as it is safe, sane, and consensual.

I am having a hard time getting to sleep tonight. I stayed up until 4am reading a book, and after I came to the computer to surf for a bit in an effort to make myself sleepy. So far it’s not working. My eyes are all gummy, but I just can’t seem to fall asleep. Ah well… Iggy and Katt are sleeping behind me and it’s quite cute to see them cuddled up together.
We did a short photo shoot tonight; I put Katt in some simple rope bondage and took some photos. First I bound her breasts, then I hog tied her. I still need some practice with my rope bondage. It still takes me a few minutes to figure out all the twists and turns to make it a) secure and b) look good. I’m happy we have some new photos for DominAction, anyways.
Missed class tonight and last Friday. Just don’t feel so hot with the painful lymph nodes. I can’t imagine having to turn my head quicky or getting hit in the head… ouch… So I’m taking it easy until the pain is gone. Must get some stretching going on though if I’m not going to be doing a major workout. It’ll be advatageous to maintain or increase my flexibility if I take a few classes off.
Have I ever mentioned I hate clowns? Instant hate-on when I see one. I get an instant ‘must attack or else’ urge that I do manage to suppress. But yeah… If I had to pick one thing in the world that personifies evil, it would be clowns. I think part of the reason is that I had bad nightmares about them as a young child, though I don’t know why clowns took the role of the bad guy.
If someone asked me to picture in my mind what a demon would look like, or an evil entity, it would have the face of a clown.. the over stretched lips and pallid skin tone… crazy red spiky hair… Stephen King had it right in his book/movie, “It”. Yuck.
Wow.. it’s starting to get light outside. I haven’t managed to stay up this late… early?… in a long time!
Back to attempt to sleep again.. before it gets too light outside to bother trying.

I went to the Walk in clinic today to get my swollen glands checked out. Seems that there are no indications of a bacterial infection, so the Dr. took a throat culture and sent me to the lab for bloodwork. He seemed pretty concerned with the size of the glands and the fact that he could not see visible signs of infection. I’ll get the test results for the swab on Thursday and the blood work tomorrow. In the inbetween time if get more swollen or pained I’m supposed to go back to the clinic right away.
I only waited three days to go to the Dr. this time. That’s pretty good for me. I generally wait for a week or two to go get injuries or illnesses checked out. It’s a guy thing I think. I’m sure the significant others of men may notice a certain reluctance to go to the Dr sooner and prefer to go when they feel something is ‘really wrong’.
After the lab and the Dr. I came home for a bit. Our cupboards are pretty much bare, so I went downtown and got some sushi and a couple of new books to read. We had thought of going to see a movie tonight, but if I am sick and it is contageous I don’t want to be spreading it around too much.

For the last 48 hours I’ve had incredibly painful swollen glands on the left side of my neck. When I turn my head I actually feel a ‘clunk’ when I press my chin towards my shoulder. On top of that my throat is also swollen and I’ve had the hiccups for the last 4 hours.
I think I’d better go to the walk in clinic tomorrow just to be on the safe side. I’ve never had such painful swelling of the neck glands before.
I did manage to get out to the store to buy some fruit today. It was one of those must buy food or starve moments, so I bit the bullet and shopped.
Katt and I did a photo shoot this afternoon too. She got all dressed up in diapers for her AB site and peed in them while I took photos. Diapers aren’t my thing, but the lacey top she was wearing was damn hot.
Quite frankly pretty much anything she wears is hot. I’m sure that feeling is amplified by the fact that I’ve got very large blue balls brought on by months of no sex. Katt’s depression and the medications she takes has killed her sex drive, which is difficult for me in the sense that it’s difficult not to express affection in that wonderful intimate way we always have in the past.
In the spirit if fun though i’m starting a blue balls rating scale, from 1 to 5, one being the least horny/blue balls, and 5 being the most horny/blue balls.
Today during the photo shoot, 4.5. Tonight… about a 3.
