What's the difference between "I like you" and "I love you".

Buddha answered this question beautifully when he said....
"When you like a flower you just pluck it. But when you love a flower, you water it daily"

One who understands this understands life.

1) Death is the number one killer in the world
2) Life is sexually transmitted
3) Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which to die.
4) Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach them how to use the internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months
or maybe years.
5) Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, laying in the hospital, dying of nothing.
6) All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
7) In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird, and people take prozac to make it normal.

and finally...

Don't worry about old age; It doesn't last that long.

Hi.
I just thought I would play catch-up for a little bit.
My life is still a bit of a roller coaster but its been like a kiddie roller coaster as of late which is a good thing. in the last year I took up doing origami again. I hadnt really done it since i was a child.
Of all the things my father could have picked to help break me out of my shell when i was only 12 was to sign me up for an origami class during the summer.
i didnt learn very much but i managed to remember how to make one thing over the last 37 years. a Japanese water bomb.
Than my kids gave me a star wars one a day calender for christmas 2 seasons ago and I was sitting at work bored as hell and I started taking the pages and turning them into water bombs. That got old really fast. lol
so I started looking around youtube and the web and found other little things to make like goldfish or a buttly.
as you can see in the video below...

As time progressed..I kept looking for ways to challenge myself. This led me to start doing miniature origami.
this started with something small. the ladybug is the same size as the real thing and the box is only one about 1 inch by 1 inch by 1/2 inch.


since then I have continued to challenge myself by working on even more dificult projects such as this put miniature grand piano.

I am slowly building this into a business on the side. I have sold 4 pieces so far. and Im also starting to give beginner classes teaching origami to chidren.

Its really nice being able to do something creative that I enjoy and make a little money on the side.

Thanks for stopping by. i hope i didnt put you to sleep.

see you all later sexy alligators. xxx

Wait 5 minutes, it will change.

That's a popular saying where I come from...lol

I live in what is called the "Sunshine State" but you wouldn't know it looking out my window at the moment. Don't get me wrong. we have plenty of days when it is just gorgeous here. the weather is about 80 degrees. humidity is in the 40 percentile and ocean is beautiful. But.... that is only during the fall and early spring months.
From June 1st to October 31st we are in our rainy season. Its also our hurricane season.
we have 3 types of rain storms...
1) your standard run of the mill pouring rain half the day, dark and cloudy kind of rain/thunderstorm.
2) strictly early morning or late afternoon "came out of nowhere" kind of rainstorm that lasts about 20 minutes and is gone. and...
3) the kind rain where you can actually see it pouring down rain on the other side of the street but your completely dry on your side of the street. its really cool to see. The first time I saw rain like that I immediately thought of the movie "The Truman Show" when Jim Carrey gets followed by that little rainstorm that moves with him for a couple of minutes before it starts raining everywhere.

In south Florida, there's no point in checking the weather because as you can see in the picture below... they predict that you will have an instance of rain as described above at one point or another. So... if by some fluke of Florida nature, it should happen not to rain, you can feel even better when you arrive home dry.




So... as you can see, it's going to be a wet week for me. now most days I luck out and manage to skirt around the rainstorms or wait just the few minutes for the weather to change a little bit and I avoid getting completely soaked.
Today was not that kind of day. I got to ride home in an all day thunderstorm. I got about 2 miles from work when it really started coming down on me and I ended up being completely soaked everywhere. and I mean everywhere. lol.
but something like that isn't without its benefits. I learned rather quickly that its actually quit liberating once you realize that it is impossible to get any wetter than you are right than.
This allows you to ride playfully through some of the worse possible curbside puddles of water because your socks and shoes are already full of water.
The left side of your body will be no wetter than your right side when that bus comes by and throws up a 4 foot wall of water on you as it passes.
And you may even find yourself laughing at the absurdity of taking a drink of water when you're stopped at the ride light because you realize that you're not sweating.. or dehydrated. lol.

So to bring this to a close...Today was actually one of the best rides home I've had in a while. It reminded me of when I was a child and would go out to play and get caught in the rain and just keep on playing. So the next time its raining, don't hang out inside waiting for the weather to clear up.
Go outside and be a kid again, even if its only for a few minutes.

But enough of my rambling for now...
Have a great day everybody.
Love you all. xxxxxxxxxxxx
DannyBoy.

I hope everyone has a great day and a great weekend regardless of where you live.
I hope all of you are well. I'm going to try and be on later tonight. I need a bit of sleep right now. I've got work tonight
see you later alligators....

hello everybody ..
I hope everyone is doing well. its been an interesting couple of weeks. nothing reminds me how bad drivers are down here than riding my bike to work.
last Friday night I was heading to work and I was less than 2 miles from my goal when this Jamaican woman decided to u-turn right into. I ended up being hit with the passenger front quarter panel. i was going north straight through the intercection and she was coming southbound and she got into the left turn lane. So she knocks me off the bike and stops. when I got up I asked her what the hell she was doing? I asked her if she didn't see my dayglow short or the lights on my bike? her response.. "yes I saw you" than I asked why she turned into me. and she said. " because I had the green light ." I told her she didn't have right of way to make a turn and her response... " what does right of way mean?" OMFG! after 5 minutes of this I told her to get the fucking hell out of my sight.
I know I should have called the police. I know I should have done far more than I did but I was so tired and I just wanted to get to work. so I straightened out my handle bars and put my chain back on and rode off.
as a side note.. this was just 20 minutes after a friend of mine have me a crystal and a red string around my wrist to help keep me from harm because she was afraid of me getting hit by a car. what are the odds.lol
have a great nighr and I'll see you tomorrow.

I just want to give a shout out to all the couples on here. especially the ones who started out on their own and became couples after the fact.
its not easy making a relationship work these days so to make it work here is truly a difficult thing.
unlike conventional relationships you have to work backwards here. you flirt and you expose yourself right off the bat in ways that don't happen in the "conventional" social website so now the inner side of ourselves becomes harder to expose because its the only thing we have left that's personal.
I know this is a porn site but when you compare it to a lot of the other ones out there.. they don't seem to be nearly as social as NN is.
so to get past the flirting and the nudity and the porn and connect with someone at a level where its about the person on the inside and not the porn is pretty amazing.
and just as much can be said for the ones who started out as couples and came here to share themselves with the rest of us.
that takes 2 amazing people with a truly honest love and respect for eachother to come here and share what they to.
so to all of you .. congrats and thank you

I've been so used to working every single day that all I really had to think of what I would do today and it turns out I've spent the last 3 hours reading blogs and reading profiles of people I'd never seen before . its been nice

well just a couple updates...
I had a great ride to work this morning on my bicycle. I managed to make my 8.5 mile bike ride in only 35 minutes flat. it was so nice and cool out and the air was so calm. it was really nice.
I got back into writing again this week. I'm now on the third page of my children's book. and for those that don't remember.. the books are geared for kindergarten to first grade which turns out is harder to write for than older children. but its a good challenge.
well gotta go. maybe if I'm lucky i'll have time to stop in status later.
have a great day everybody!

my oldest child introduced me to this show so I thought I would share. have a great day everybody.
