Trini Like Salt

I have made no secret of the fact that I’ve harbored a crush on this woman for years. I first met Natasha when we were both in our late teens (I believe); I went to school with and used to hang with her brother. She was a big reason I used to like to visit his house. I had a girlfriend then though, so nothing could’ve happened. We lost touch during much of the last couple of decades, although every so often a mutual friend would mention her in passing, and I’d always wonder how she was doing. It took Tumblr to really reconnect us. She found my blog, and apparently read every post I had made over a 2 day period. She joined Tumblr as a result. I like to think of myself as her “maker”, a la True Blood. In the last year or so, she’s become one of the blogs that I unabashedly stalk, and she apparently has become very well liked by many other Tumblrers. She also revealed that the little crush I had on her was mutual. It’s probably a good thing we never got together. I think we’d create a rip in the space/time continuum. That didn’t stop me from photographing her nude body in the elements, though. After she saw the images, she said that she wished she had smiled more. So here she is, smiling. And beautiful.
Some of you might know this person in pixels. I know her in person. I win.
gawd

God isn’t religion Gar!
Fair enough, and true dat.
How about this, then: If you feel the need to proclaim how much God loves/favors you, I will likely not follow you, because I don’t buy the idea that there’s a God that favors. Because that means that he/she/it doesn’t favor, somewhere. Which kinda defeats the purpose of an all-knowing, all-loving deity. So, yeah, no disrespect, but such proclamations make me feel uncomfortable with your deity-favored status, which I can’t compete against even on a good day, so I’ll stick it out with the other followers of the Church Of I Don’t Know…although it’s not out of the question if you’re otherwise interesting and/or otherwise rational.
Better?

Evolution IS nature!

Wut. I love camping man. Nature!
I love me some nature! Sumpin’ fierce!
I also love getting into my heated car, driving to my home for which I pay a frickin fortune every month, flicking my finger and voila! light!, making heat without having to find kindling and flint n’ shit, not foraging for food, wiping my ass with toilet paper, indoor plumbing, cable TV, internet connections, flannel sheets and warm beds, and not dodging bears, skunks and snakes.
My ancestors spent thousands of years getting to this point. Who am I to disrespect their struggle?
And g’night.
Hope you had a good day, Natasha! Better one tomorrow.
Thoughts Going Through My Head As I Edit Images Of Natasha While Sipping Some El Dorado 15 Year Old Rum
I should have dumped my clothes and brought back more El Dorado 15 Year Old rum.
Damn, Natasha is exquisite.
This rum is perfect for my current activity. Just perfect.
That I’m alone in the house helps. I like not having to play Chutes and Ladders while enjoying my El Dorado 15 Year Old rum. One needs to fucking reflect on this bitch.
Bloody hell, Natasha. Just…bloody hell.
I have the best - and most photogenic - friends.
There was a beautiful woman, a deserted road, browned skin, and lots of bamboo.
And there were images. Which, as usual, will only be made public if my model consents.
Suffice to say, they are spectacular.
Rachel = My Neo?

how does it feel to have found your “one”?
All the cliches apply. I feel incredibly lucky, and fortunate that I get to have this adventure with her. That said, I think she came along at the right time - we were both in the right frame of mind, stage in life, all that stuff - to make it work. I think we both realize that there’s no such thing as a “one”, but rather a series of “ones”, if one is lucky - and we panned out because of timing and circumstances, and the decision to commit. At least so far. I feel good about us though.
I always hear about how marriage is so much work. I haven’t found that to be the case at all. It just ‘is’. For us, it hasn’t been this “extra” thing we have to “work on” - it’s been the next chapter in our respective lives, and so far, it’s been pretty sweet. We don’t fight - and being the product of and living with a couple that fought all the time, I think the whole idea of “fighting is healthy for a marriage” is complete, utter, total bullshit.
A friend of mine told us once that rachel and I work out because we don’t spend time on bullshit. We don’t spend time quarreling about roles, or who does what - and are secure enough to abdicate control when needed. He described it as “you’re both chiefs and you’re both indians - when the situations call for one or the other to be one or the other”. I’ve kinda found that to be true.
We’re good - and we’re good together.
