Halloween: A truly delightful holiday for children, and adult adventurers!
If I were a vampire I would be certain to look my best, sexy always.
If I were a vampire I would explore all of the condition's erotic possibilities.
If I were a vampire I would need your pain and fear, not only your blood to thrive.
If I were a vampire would you suffer for me?
If I were a vampire would you fear me?
If I were a vampire would you give me your blood?
I think that no matter how strongly a contract is worded, or how careful one is, ultimately business must come down to trust. We must deal with each other honorably, and for business to be good we must trust that everyone else will deal with honor as well.
Here in the United States we are extremely successful materially in large measure because we can trust each other much more often than not, and in general we can trust that our government will not steal most of what we make or change the rules of business mid-stream too often.
A nation of business thieves, Russia comes to mind, will not be able to find our maintain large scale material progress because the Russian people can't trust the other guy to not rob him blind in any business deal. Hence the extreme wealth of some Russians contrasted with the shocking poverty of their neighbors.
Likewise a nation whose government does not respect the rule of law will always lag behind one ruled by a government that does. The United States and Mexico provide a prime example. In the United States we can know that we can save, invest, build a business, and be confident that the government will most likely not come along to steal it. On the other hand, Mr. Fox, the previous President of Mexico outlines in his book how the Government slowly stole the majority of the ranch started by his Grandfather, leaving Fox and family with only a small part of their previous land.
We must I think, as Americans, be ever watchful that we deal honorably with others, ensure that we only do business with those who deal honorably with us, and of course be wary of those politicians who advocate taking wealth from those who have earned it to undeservedly reward those who have not. This is how we protect and maintain our prosperity.
Why do I post this today? Because a merchant tried to cheat me recently. He didn't get away with it, but his ethics have certainly been on my mind.
The march of progress continues to amaze me. A few years ago I bought a new digital camera, a very wonderful Cannon that I was always very pleased with.
Time moves forward and I needed a new one. Off to the store I go. I left with an inexpensive Nikon CoolPix. I've spent a couple of days playing with it, and I must say that I am very impressed.
This new camera cost well under 1/3rd what I paid for the last one and it can do so much more. One reason I selected it is the fact that it takes standard AA batteries. No more having to keep the rechargeable ones fired up, and no worries at all about finding the right battery if traveling out of country.
Another wonderful benefit for me is the camera's ability to record a picture both in enlargement quality, and in a compressed quality suitable for web pages. No more having to download the pictures into a computer and manually processing them before they can be sent in email or placed on a web page. The camera will just make one of each if desired.
An eight-dollar SD card from Wall Mart gets me over 400 pictures at the highest quality.
All in all, it is a wonderful camera, at a very low cost. Perfect for vacation snapshots.
I noticed while shopping today that Eddie Bauer has some nice wide-mouth water bottles on sale. These are the perfect things for making sure that your man is hydrated as he drives off to work each day.
The wide mouth makes them very easy to fill with your morning piss, and the nice tight fitting lid helps to ensure that he will not spill a drop as he slowly sips while driving to work.
I've been spending quite a bit of time online this past week, exploring possible vacation destinations for the future.
While reading a message board from one of the cities, a board populated by American and Canadian expats, it struck me what a truly amazing tool the Internet has become in what has been a short amount of time.
Twenty years ago it would be extremely hard, if not impossible to get instant, in-depth information about a city half way across the globe. Outdated, superficial stuff intended for tourists and history buffs, sure. Up to the minute information about a brand spankin new restaurant on an out of the way street, impossible.
This wealth of information of course covers all aspects of our lives, good for so much more than just travel.
Heck, everything one could ever want to know about BDSM and female domination is right here, free for the taking. Just imagine how hard it would have been to get good solid information about female domination as recently as 1980. Ronald Reagan doesn't seem all that long ago, but the volume and quality of information we all have at our fingertips now would have been unimaginable to most adults during his Presidency I think.
Change is I suppose a constant in our lives. Perhaps sometimes we dwell upon and remember negatives brought about by change, but we should also remember the positives, the truly wonderful enhancements to our lives that change brings.
"You know what makes you a perfect slave?" She asked.
"No, Goddess." He replied.
"You'd rather see my feet than my pussy." She answered while making a show of dangling her high-heeled shoe from her toes.
"In fact" she continued, "you'd rather lick my toes than fuck me."
He groaned, his response brought forth both from the sight of her dangling heel and the truth of her words.
"Isn't that right slave?" She asked.
"Yes Mistress." He replied shamefully, knowing that he would suffer for his words.
Our Governor has called a special session of the legislature. They will convene in November with a goal of removing the current budget deficit.
Of course we will hear much crying about 'budget cuts' but we must remember that these 'cuts' are not cuts at all. The legislature will have more money to spend in this biennium than it had in the last.
'Cuts' discussed will be reductions in amount the legislature wanted to spend, and in brand spankin new programs.
New and increased taxes would be of harm to our economy, and must be avoided. If you agree, now is the time to tell your own legislators your opinion to ensure that they do 'cut' and don't tax.
Find your legislators here.
