There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder
-Pink Floyd, “High Hopes”
“It’s been a while since you posted anything.”
I get this comment from friends, from acquaintances, even from complete strangers
It’s annoying. But I understand. My archives, however, are a gold mine. Tonight I read this entry and I LOL’ed. And my wife’s blog is brilliant.
I’ve been coding until dawn. I’ve been writing. I’ve been working. All with the brutal focus one can only achieve by neglecting friends, lovers, enemies and blogs. My inbox was overrun with spam, so if I missed some important message I do apologize.
Have you ever committed yourself to something so completely that it becomes your only reality, and everything else becomes, in comparison, a sort of shadow life? Flow requires a certain purity. It is difficult to put into words.
It’s like I went to sleep six months ago and woke up in this science fiction scenario. A black man is on the verge of becoming president of these United States. The world is on the brink of the apocalypse. Sounds like fun. Sorry I missed it.
I’ve been insufferable. A pain to live with. Just ask my wife.
I’ve been monogamous.
I nearly lost my mind.
At 10AM last Friday I was ready to throw out sixteen hours of work. “Fuck it,” I said to my bleary-eyed self, “I’m gonna reboot this motherfucker.”
It all suddenly worked. I finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
I slept until 6PM. I showered. I shaved. I put on some nice clothes. I went out.
And I kissed another girl for the first time since December.

After years of helping women get in touch with their orgasms, my lovely wife is now blogging about bisexuality, non-monogamy, sex and toys over at the Bisexual Girls Club, her very own pleasure positive organization for bi women. Leslie often has a different take on things than I do, so those of you who are curious about how we navigate our open relationship should find plenty to compare and contrast. Please do drop “bi” (I know… I’m terrible) and say hello.

I was at a party last night talking to some hot chick and yet all I could think about was getting home and polishing off the big redesign — hey, I never claimed to be anything but a geek at heart. So here it is, Naked Loft Party 3.0. You’ll notice a few new doodads, as well as placeholders for even more new doodads. Hope you enjoy the new look (and do let me know if you encounter any strange behavior). Stay tuned for more exciting announcements from the NLP Department of Secret Projects.

So I set up a MySpace profile. It’s kind of like getting an apartment in the projects when you already own a penthouse in the good part of town. Or something like that. I’ve done jack shit with my profile thus far, but I promise the e-bling and the background music and the obligatory shots of my bare chest are, like, totally on the way.

From the July 2006 Playboy
Meme over at girlspoke informed us we’d made this month’s Playboy (the one with Vida Guerra on the cover). Les stopped by the newsstand this afternoon to pick it up.
The good: C’mon, it’s Playboy, fodder for my adolescent fantasies, source of the first smutty images I ever peeped at. It’s an American institution. You bet I’m pumped. The not-so-good: Hipster? WTF? I’ve only ever downed Pabst Blue Ribbon under extreme duress.
The quoted text is from my piece on last Halloween’s debaucherous soiree.
