I kind of agree.  Hehehe i just realized that there are several types of guys who would fit either bill.

let's just say that if you sent me some pics… i'd post you on this SIG, too.  hehehe wish i could do that

agree but who can do the "few acts"?

i wonder what it would be like to be under one of them… obviously one of my fantasies

wow those are great!

I know what you mean.  Same thing happens here in the Philippines.  only the… palm greasing is a bit more... exorbitant.

hahaha funny!

Hahaha yeah i know what you mean.  When I was in High School, I kind of figured out when the Sumo Wrestling season was on, and I'd always watch that if nobody else was watching.  Also kept tabs on world's strongest man and watched it, but the family didn't realize WHY i liked it so much hehehe.

I've always been a fan of World's Strongest Man, and I've always wished some of them would show off their… hard assets.  Nevertheless, i still think they're a nice sight, even when fully clothed.  Guys with a lot of bulk tend to grab my eye... obviously.  Does anyone else watch this stuff?  Hehehe

Yup.  I have no idea why they used that word.  Because in some usages of the word, it also means a state of ecstasy or bliss (you know, like a long orgasm hehehe)

Rapture is based on the idea that when He comes, one will be taken and one will be left.  SOme people will be taken directly to heaven without dying.

This is a cute guy from CNN hehehe.  I love the way he smiles when he's having fun.

Of course, i've always liked well-dressed guys (but not necessarily always in a suit).  :):):)  Smart looking guys also get a thumbs (and other stuff) up from me!

I'm actually reading City of Ashes hehehe.  I liked the first book, so i'm going ahead and reading the next.

very interesting read.  i especially like the one about the engineer and the professor.

i like the idea of losing the phone for awhile

actually i find that if i keep my phone away from me i get more things done and have a more meaningful time with whoever i'm with.

i still hope someday people will understand that a lot of what we are, we didn't choose.

Hmmm i can't relate much, because I've never been to one.  However, i can see why it would be important to have some friends or a place to air out common concerns.  I wish these things won't happen, because I feel like the world is going to ___ in a handcart.

i would say drink plenty of water and make sure you have lots of fiber.  that should help.  and yes, insist on the lube.
