I sat with a group of people and mentioned that I was single. “Awwwwww….,” said a pal of mine. It was said in a way to imply that being single was to be pitied. Like it was a bad thing. Like, who would want to be single? Like, don’t worry, some day your prince will come.
Some people are single because they are between relationships. For them, being single is the sad default for when they are without a partner. Their ideal is to not be single. All is best when they are partnered. It’s their goal to be partnered. Time and energy is spent towards finding someone. Major stress while looking for the one.
I made a choice to be single. I’m very happy as a single person. I don’t worry about being alone. In fact, I enjoy spending time by myself. And I don’t have a problem going places by myself. I like being responsible for my own happiness. I like not having to worry about a partner.
I also like spending time with people and doing things with them. I have really good relationships with certain people, people I can spend time with and have adventures with. We have good sex. We have cuddles. We talk. We have intimacy. We don’t talk about where is our relationship is going to go to from here. We enjoy the here and now.
I’m having a lot of fun. So, don’t pity me. Or at least shut up and let me live my life the way I wanna. This is a valid alternative lifestyle.

Australian researchers have identified a significant link between a gene involved in testosterone action and male-to-female transsexualism. DNA analysis from 112 male-to-female transsexual volunteers showed they were more likely to have a longer version of the androgen receptor gene.
Buy one of Tony Comstock’s DVDs today (October 28) and he will donate the full amount (except shipping) to Say No To Prop 8. I saw Damon & Hunter at Cinekink and it was excellent. I would call his films “relationship porn.”

AJ and I went on a 90 minute boat ride where we toured the architecture of Chicago and then took a high speed ride on Lake Michigan.

At the turn of the century, because the Chicago River was so polluted, they installed locks and reversed the direction of the river!
Lake Point Tower
You’re not supposed to build east of Lake Shore Drive, but a loophole in the law was exploited and this tower was built on stilts on top of a garage on landfill. Built in 1968, it was the tallest building in Chicago. Designed by Schipporeit and Heinrich, students of Mies van der Rohe. With three wings, none of the windows face each other, every apartment has a lake view, and wind forces are lessened.
Marina City
I love these two circular buildings that were supposed to be like flower petals but really remind everyone of corn-on-the-cob. Designed by Bertrand Goldberg and built in 1959, it was made of concrete and was the tallest buildings in Chicago at the time. In addition to residential, office and parking, there’s a theater and a marina, too.
Trump International Hotel and Tower
Trump wanted this to be Chicago’s tallest building, but after 9-1-1, no building was allowed to be taller than the Sears Tower, so his plans had to be scaled back. I bet he’s pissed now that the Chicago Spire has been approved and will be taller than his building.

When I top, I love to step back and relax, maybe enjoy a beer, while I watch my bottom struggle with whatever bondage ordeal I have fixed for them.
