But I LOVE KISSES!!!

Use your imagination ;)
Happy V-Day to you all! MUAH!!
Occasional blog postings. Honest expression of my perceptions and thoughts and feelings. You might not agree, but I think my views are logical, common-sense solutions I have found in spite of the modern fucked-up world & its perceptions & "values!"
That's the truck, not ME, I'm talking about! lol (Not quite a Used Truck but I've certainly BEEN used throughout my life by plenty of the too-many assholes in this world. Their numbers are LEGION and I don't meant the American Legion!)
Now, I'm not bragging but I coulda called this a 5-way with the other 2 women in the pic with us! ;)



[The pic has nothing to do with the article but I figure I owe HNT something half-nekkid. If I get lucky over Xmas, my fave girl will get to see my Good & Evil aspects. Happy Holidays!]
Okay, getting ready to step into the shower so I dropped the towel to honor a couple ladies who commented on this Blog last week. Could you give me a hand, now? Mine are rather full, you see. ; )
But, I want everyone to know that I searched & added this nekkid pic long AFTER I wrote the article & I didn't select it as I was writing about my pregnant ex-gf. That pregnant ex-gf got far more than her fair share of what she deserved from me by lying and playing on my feelings and sense of honor. The old saying rings true for her: "There is no honor among thieves!" Especially not among manipulative, sperm thieves like her! It also stole my youth and freedom from me before I even realized there was "a market" for my kind of eligible bachelor. Ex- and her lies took me off the market for well over a dozen years!
Please tuck the important info below away in case you ever know anyone who is pregnant and needs help. Counseling to consider ALL alternatives helps to make the best decision for every individual person. I found out the info that I wish I had had when MY girlfriend got pregnant back in the day. I had never even CONSIDERED Adoption as an alternative and it WAS a critically important option that changed my life significantly NOT to have considered! It is an option I would like to have realized I had available.
AMERICAN ADOPTIONS AGENCY has a 24/7 number, 1-800-236-7846 (1-800-ADOPTION) to give you info about how they & good adoptive parents will pay all living expenses (rent, clothes, utilities, paid time lost from work, etc.) during a pregnancy, and pay for all medical costs including hospital & delivery. This # is a central phone to an agency person who can put you in touch with an agency contact in your community, but they also CAN GIVE ALL THE INFO ABOUT THEIR FREE PROGRAM AND arrange for a LOCAL AGENCY CONTACT TO COME VISIT YOU IN A DAY OR TWO (with no obligation, of course.) BTW, they tell me that the "BabyDaddy" doesn't have to agree or be involved in the decision.
It's just that people really ought to consider ALL the possibilities before taking action on a very important life decision. Thanks for letting me share this info with you.
Cheers & love, Richard

The flag pictured is from my Aussie friend who was posted in Fiji a couple of years ago with their diplomatic corps. I am always surprised how readily citizens of the British commonwealth of nations freely allow reproduction of their flags as a theme or decoration on common items like the tea towel, here. Especially since strict US flag etiquette for decades has prohibited using the US flag as a decoration.
The US policy has been lightening up here ever since the Hippies & the 60's. I might even have some folks question the US Flag as background in my big tattoo next month -- even I questioned it. So, I decided I don't want to have an exact flag representation but, rather, "our Colors" depicted flaggy or flag-like . This reminds me to insert a tattoo pic from a Native American Indian friend to show an ingenious artistic, use of our patriotic colors in beautiful skin art; if there's no pic below this, I couldn't find it & will add it another week.
I should also mention I HAVE gotten back to doing my drawing again, finally -- and something serious! A Beautiful, Sexxy Girl! Love or Lust, I LIKE IT! I'm going slowly & deliberately like a nice, long, lovemaking session in my mind -- when I touch the drawing, my mind is caressing her skin & body. I want it to last, so I go long and slow. For her privacy's sake, I probably can't post a pic when I finish but I may tease you with occasional progress updates or a snippet.
colors) from sunlight; I had been incorrectly told SPF 50 was sufficient. This forearm band appears to be a Celtic design but it has a military/naval history. This is a very simple version of the Turk's Head Knot that ancient mariners used to while away the hours by tying them around the wooden masts of the old sailing ships. The US Navy used them for ceremonial decorations until very recently. General Lord Baden-Powell adapted this knot as a neckerchief slide for recognition of his highest trained Scoutmasters, those graduating the "Wood Badge" course. [I'm proud to be a "Wood Badger," myself.] 
Here's how they all look together:
Tommy is the artist at Mike Sizemore's "Kill Em All Tattoo" in Clearwater, FL who re-inked the armband. Mike did all the other work seen here + my Gangster Girlie portrait on the inside of the arm; with 15 years' experience & excellent portrait ability, he's worth the $150/hr charge.
But Tommy ($100/hr) & I have figured out how to finish this half-sleeve with a consistent patriotic theme: All visible parts open around these tatts will show red & white stripes like the US flag unfurling as the background. My shoulder will be topped by various size negative (white) stars at the top surrounded by bright blue outside the stars fading out further away. I'd like to have a few stars closer to the neck and a few falling off on the sides of the flag. FREE stars, not in any tight pattern! (Now that I am finally fairly free in my life.)
Only a very special reason will lead me to add anymore tattoos beyond this half-sleeve. If a new girl I love gives the OK, I'll probably add a small, anonymous portrait of her perfect breasts to one corner of my chest so I can enjoy her beauty whenever I want! Proof that I will NEVER forget her! A tattoo's forever!
