Auto-Erotic Asphyxiation

It is unfortunate for the reasons we are getting a ton of hits to our website today. People are coming via Wikipedia because there is an external link on it to an essay on our website. It is an EXCELLENT essay by Vamp about Breath Control Play. So because of David Caradine's death we have been getting a ton of hits.

News Media

Okay so I clicked on this headline on yahoo.com - "Rape survivor hopes controversial T-shirt will help others" At the beginning of the piece they say that the person didn't want her image shown - but had her on phone interview. They showed her name and then an image of her website while she talked. Then they talked to another person/expert and then....they showed a picture of Heather in the t-shirt. She said she didn't want her picture shown and they did it anyway. How so very nice of them. (that is said with sarcasm just in case it isn't coming across in words on a screen.)

Heather was one of the reasons I started blogging. I have read her blog since 1999.

London

Marking the day...as it will be forever marked....

It is a horrible thing that happened. I can't image why we have such horrors happen in your world.....why we have such hate.

My thoughts are with those in London....hurt, injured and healing from this horrible tragedy.

Live 8

Today is Live 8 - where series of 8 simultaneous global concerts are being held to allow people of the world to call on the leaders of the wealthiest countries to make poverty history.

It is on MTV right now.

Why is Live 8 happening.....well every 3 seconds in Africa someone dies. Every 3 seconds. That is unbelievable. 30,000 people die EVERY DAY! I feel ashamed to say that I did not know that until today. I did not know that the number was so staggering.

July 6 through 8, the "Group of Eight" get together and can....make history. From www.one.org: "The G8, or the ‘Group of Eight’ Summit is an annual gathering of leaders from the world’s eight wealthiest and most powerful countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States). This summer, these leaders will gather in Scotland to decide the fate of an entire generation living on less than ONE dollar a day. On July 6th – 8th, President Bush and other G8 leaders will discuss the major social, political and economic conditions that leave nearly ONE billion people living in extreme poverty – nearly half of whom live in Sub-Saharan Africa. With your support and voice, President Bush and other world leaders will know just how important these issues are, and together as ONE, we can Make Poverty History this July."

They have a petition to sign online to urge President Bush to do soemthing about this proverty and make histry by eraticating it.

Yay to Colorado Planned Parenthood!

There was suppose to a law that would have come in affect July 1st allowing hospitals to tell rape victims about emergency contraception but Gov. Owens vetoed it. So, Planned Parenthood in Colorado is giving free emergency contraception on Friday, July 1, 2005.

Link to Rocky Mountains Planned Parenthood...the article and more.


Sidenote: I started to tag this as Political because that is how a lot of people would tag it - but to me it is about sexuality and woman's right to what she does with her body. And I guess I don't really think that should be a political issue.

Kraft Doing Good!

Passing this on...
I got it from Malixe on Live Journal....

I suggest sending an email to Kraft encouraging them to keep up the good work.

Today's "Love letter" from the American Family Association:

Please forward this e-mail message to your family and friends!
Kraft Says It Proudly Supports The Gay Games

Dear -----,

Kraft Inc. is sponsoring the upcoming Gay Games in Chicago. I want to show you what Kraft proudly supports. But before I do that, you need to read what Marc Firestone, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Kraft Foods Inc., said in refusing to cancel their sponsorship.

"Diversity is more than a word many people like to say. At Kraft we truly respect all kinds of differences. And diversity is not a selective concept. By definition, it's nothing if not inclusive. We respect diversity of ethnicity, gender, experience, background, personal style and yes, sexual orientation and gender identity. Recognizing, respecting and valuing these differences helps us be a more successful business and a workplace where all employees can realize their full potential."

The Gay Games can't get a much stronger commitment than that given by Kraft.

Kraft also owns Maxwell House, Post, Oscar Mayer and Nabisco brands, which account for almost 75% of the company's revenues.

The attached photos were taken at the last Gay Games. This is the type activity Mr. Firestone says Kraft recognizes, respects and values. (Warning: These photos are very offensive.) Click here to see the Gay Games photos.

Click here to send your letter to Kraft

Thanks for caring enough to get involved.

Sincerely,

Don

Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman
American Family Association

P.S. Please forward this e-mail message to your family and friends.
-------------------------------------

[EDIT:] Ya know, it occurs to me that maybe I could make it as simple to participate as the AFA does. So I'll give it a shot-- please feel free to cut and paste and/or improve upon my efforts in your own forums.

Here's my revised version of the AFA's boilerplate text-- (SNIP!)

E-Mail: Roger Deromedi, CEO, Kraft Foods

I am pleased to learn of Kraft's sponsorship of the Gay Games, and that Kraft values diversity and integrity in the face of attempted intimidation by the "American Family Association". I encourage Kraft not to withdraw its sponsorship or encourage the AFA in any way.

If Kraft does not withdraw its sponsorship of the Gay Games, and if American Family Association calls for a boycott of Kraft, I will make every effort to buy more Kraft products and encourage my friends to do so as well. Keep up the good work!

a mix

Music: a mix

Topics: an anniversary, Jim’s family and Jim, Nice Girls, Affirmative Action, Spirituality Test, Feng Shui and health, and little update on life

The 23rd was an anniversary for me…- I did not even realize it. The reason I found out is because my ex-mother-in-law. When I was married I felt like my mother-in-law was always on me about something - that I could never do anything right for her son. And then after I left - not at first mind you - at first she was very mad but after a while, she came to realize what a good daughter-in-law I was - and we became friends. When I go back to Kansas I have lunch with her and I have even stayed with her and my ex-father-in-law while there. Anyway I had written her filling her in about my life and she wrote back Wednesday and said something about that it was 4 years ago that I had left for Cleveland on the 23rd. Lately it has felt like that much or longer. It used to feel like it was just yesterday, but not probably for the last year has it felt like that.

She updated me on all the family. It made me miss them a lot - even though I had been the one to ask how they all were doing - and she is very cautious about writing about them - she does not want to hurt me but I told her if I ask to please tell me. So she did. But I guess when I realized it had been my anniversary of leaving Kansas and then reading about the family - I then missed them all a lot. Jim had wrote me last week - he was in the attic and found some of my things and wanted to send them to me but if they were in the attic they were storage things so he knew I might want to send them to my mom‘s. He also sent me a form I need to fill out and get notarized - something actually I don’t want to do because I know once he has that form he is probably going to put the house up on the market. The house he and I bought together.

Kam and I were watching the news and they were doing a gardening piece on it and I was thinking about the house and gardening. It was a fun time with Jim. We would in the spring go and pick out flowers at the nursery, bring them back and plant them together. We would throw dirt at each other, spray each other with the hose and just goof around. After we were done we would sit on our porch on the swing and look out at all our flowers : ) it is a nice memory.

Jane wrote about being a nice girl in her entry. Lots of people say that I am a nice girl. And not that there is anything wrong with it but they usually are taken a back that I am into the extreme things that I am - and that I did the job that I did. I had a Dominant once that told me he liked doing sadistic - nasty things to me because I looked so sweet and innocent - it made the pleasure in being sadistic with me - even greater. I like being a nice girl - I am a nice girl. I am also a lot of other things - an artist, a friend, a daughter, a masochist, a painslut, a slut, and so on : )

While I write, sometimes I break and surf the net - which probably explains why you get so many links. But I like to read; I am moved by things - writings, pictures, and people. So I have to share.

Something I cam across tonight - Affirmative action news…-

SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Education -- UC's minority admissions rise

"For the first time since the University of California tossed out race-based admissions, the percentage of Latino, American Indian and black students admitted exceeds what it was during the last days of affirmative action.… 'On a personal level, I am glad to see it happen. It reinforces my view that black kids can perform as well as anyone else, and you don't need to give them any affirmative action,' [UC Regent Ward Connerly] said."

Another thing I surfed upon -
Beliefnet.com

What's Your Spiritual Type?

You scored 67, on a scale of 0 to 100. Here's how to interpret your score

60 - 69 Old-fashioned Seeker -- Happy with my religion but searching for the right expression of it

What I did not like about the test is the title and what the test was actually testing are 2 different things to me. It says what is your spiritual type but I think it is testing for - how religious are you. Those are 2 very different things to me. I am spiritual but I would not call myself religious. I do not attend church but I am not totally opposed to attending - I attended church very regularly until the last year I was married. I really liked the church Jim and I belonged to in Kansas. The Pastor is a woman and very contemporary in her beliefs. I went to church almost always growing up because I “had to” go because I lived in my parents house and under their rules.

Okay another link - From an article on belief.net talking about the book.... Feng Shui and Health by Nancy Santo Pietro....

"One of the most influential factors governing your health today is the amount of clutter you have amassed in your home (especially the bedroom) and workplace. Even if at first the clutter doesn’t seem to be causing a health problem, over time it tends to have a cumulative effect on the body. It becomes what I call an opportunist interior factor waiting for a particularly stressful time in your life to do its thing and zap a specific area of the body or organ that was rendered vulnerable."

I really need to get better enough to get my house in order. So that it helps me stay healthy and peaceful.

Just a little update on life-

Tonight I fell asleep about 7pm I was so tired. I could not even stay awake for Buffy reruns. lol Anyway, I slept until about 2am. I can’t believe I slept that long. I have not slept that long in a long time. I get usually about 4 hours max of sleep at a time. It was nice to be able to sleep that long. And now I am surfing the net reading all sorts of interesting bloggers. I have become obsessed in reading new and different bloggers then I usually read. But still reading my usuals too. I am listening to a mix of a lot of different music - Dave Matthews Band, Coldplay, Madonna, Nickleback, Remy Zero, Bjork, Jewel, Garbage and a few others. Sounds like a weird mix - it is but it works for me. J

Well, I am going to go pop a video in and see if I can get a few more hours of sleep. . .

A quote I think I am going to add to top of my blogger. . .

"These words I write keep me from total madness." Charles Bukowski

Michael Jordan

Music: Jennifer Lopez

WOW I just read about The Wizard's game last night. I wonder if it was on TV to begin with but these are quotes from the article I read on AOL Sports....

"Jordan went to work and nearly set an NBA record. He scored 22 points in a row, part of a 45-point game in the Washington Wizards' 98-76 victory over the New Jersey Nets on Monday night in the MCI Center's annual New Year's Eve game."

"Jordan made 16 of 32 shots and 12 of 13 free throws with 10 rebounds and seven assists. He scored the last 10 points of the first half and the first 12 of the third quarter, single-handedly accounting for a 19-3 run that put Washington ahead 56-45. The Nets never got closer than nine the rest of the way."

"The 22-point streak was one shy of the league record, set by Jordan when he had 23 in a row for Chicago against Atlanta on April 16, 1987. Jordan scored 61 in that game."

"Jordan toyed with every defender who guarded him, from Martin to Richard Jefferson to Van Horn -- and even arched a running 16-foot jumper over 7-foot center Todd MacCulloch. The last basket of the 22-point run was a spin move around Martin that left the defender flat-footed and the crowd gasping."

That would have just been so awesome to see!!!

Jim got me hooked on Michael Jordan and Basketball. After Michael Jordan left the Bulls I watched occassionally. When Michael was with Bulls almost every time they were on TV we watched them. I watched the Pacers for a while after that because I like Reggie Miller. But pretty much he was the only one I liked watching after that....here in Cleveland I just have not had the time to watch them like I did with Jim. Maybe it was because Jim was watching them so that allowed me time with him so I watched.

Babbling as usual....

I am a Michael Jordan fan and wish I could have seen him last night do that last basket!

A month ago.....

I was working and did not hear about the attack until about 2 hours after it happened. Sir Nick called me right after I found out. He was the one to tell me about it....

I am glad I heard it from him.

So much has happened in that month and yet things are so much the same too. I mean we are all going on. I know I am...but underneath it is still there I guess.

I want to say more but there is so much going on in my head.....

peace,

evasive

Oh forgot to add A said tonight when he was asking me what was going on and why i felt the way i said....he said you are being evasive. I said, "it is my nature" LOL nice submissive thing to say huh? He had just got done telling me that story. I thought it fit.

I think Kam almost fell off the chair tonight. I was watching ESPN Sport Center. He just looked at me....like an alien had entered my body and took over. LOL I am HUGE Michael Jordan fan....I was flipping channels (rarely watch tv so never know what channels are where). I was flipping and saw a picture of Michael so stopped and then realized it was a Sports Center. I watched their whole segment on Michael. It was interesting. I had not been keeping up with things on him coming back. I want to see him play. I live in a town with NBA team now.....I wonder if it is at all possible for me to get tickets. hmmmm...

Good night....

Sweet Dreams....

Poly Poster Child fallen

Today was incredibly busy for me....

I left the house at 7am got back at 9am took a shower and then was online for a while. Did some work. And then left and did work up until 9pm when I got home. I answered a few emails for work and then I changed and dropped my body on the couch to rest. I watched the tribute on TV tonight.

Tomorrow there is work for sure.

I actually think Sunday will be the first Sunday since I have been back from Germany that I have not done any work. I am going to probably reorganize my closest. Kam and I might have a friend moving in and so I need to get the things out of that closet.

Moni and Michael - 2 very good friends of mine announced their wedding date. I am very happy for both of them! I wish them all the best they deserve it!

I asked Sir Rob a question today that I am not sure why I asked. He answered but I am sure it put him on the spot. I asked him if it had been hard to leave me last year.

*shrugs*

Something I was thinking about the other day is something Todd asked me one of the first times we talked on the phone. He asked me when the last time I had been made love to. I could not remember I said at least 7 years ago.

Many of the men I have been with in my life have wanted to be with the slut, bitch, cunt, and whatever other word they wanted to use....but hardly any where with me the woman. Hardly any of them have ever used my real name during sexual contact. I just realized that and found that interesting. It made me sad thinking about it to....hurt.

Funny thing is Todd is the one that mentioned that but every time I was with Todd I felt like he was a million miles away. Except once.....

Oh back to my thought....

Which lead me to.....I had someone who was having sex with me and calling me names once - slut, whore, cunt and so on and then in the middle called me by my given name. I said no. And rolled over. To have him call me by my name just scared me. It was like i separated everything and I was slut in the moment not danae. And yes slut is just an aspect of danae but i guess something i have not really admitted to myself.

Friday I was thinking of SM a lot. I do actually more then I say. He said something to me not too long ago in an email and that is what kept playing in my head today and I am not sure why. I wish I knew. I have written him a few times today but did not get an answer. I know he is busy but I just wish I would get some kind of note from him. I would love to hear his voice and hear him...hear that is he is okay.

Also missed Sir Nick today a lot! I almost called to just talk to his answering machine a few times today lol

While I left to go out today I left my yahoo messenger on and of course forgot to put away. And so I had all these messages when I got back. One from Sir Nick. One from aydeen too! :)

She had written me an email a while back and I missed her email in my box. So I need to get to that tomorrow. It was a serious email...and I did not mean to overlook it :(

Moni just messaged me. Thanked me for listening to her the other day. Listening. It was easy to listen and be there for her. I understood so much of what she was feeling. I even understood things from otherviews but it did not diminish the fact of what she felt and went through and I know she cared about others views and what they want through as well as what she did.

I have been looking at a calendar lately. Trying to figure out when Sir and I can get together to meet face to face. But I know that it will be hard to plan that maybe for a while, because of his work.

I have not been thinking lots about what has went on with our Nation. I think about it and feel bad and sad for those that have lost people. Feel bad for the City of New York to have their world turned upside down.....but I am trying not to think about what will happen in retaliation. I know it will happen. And I have reasons why I am trying not to think of it....not because I do not want to feel or have opinions just other reasons. Mostly to do with Sir Nick...long story but not a bad thing at least to him and myself.

Tonight someone was telling em they were upset that now people are banning together and having patriotism right now but that it will not last and that they will help and give for a while but then stop. Just like people who give at Christmas or help at Christmas when there is a need for help all year long. I told him I felt I guess that I was glad at least that they gave even if that was the only time in their life they did that at least that did at some point.

Something I have been thinking about again is Poly. I have been a poly poster child in the past. LOL I believe it can work still. I just am not sure I want to even go there again. Poly is so f***ing hard. I want to be first. And so much in a poly household where everyone lives together I put myself second. And that gets hard and draining. I want to be put first...now.

Sir Rob and I were talking today about this kind of. He does not want poly. He just feels his slave will be enough for him. I ended up telling him one of my favorite fantasies....anyone who is very close to me knows it is the one being tied in the chair...and....well there is more but nothing i will put here lol....

WOW just thought I have not told Sir Nick that one. And actually internally I feel why. Something I can discuss with him at some point. :)

Anyway...playing with others. Seeing others occasionally is poly to me but not poly as in the poly I have experienced long term. That I have no problems with. But having someone live with us right now I do not want to have to deal with. Poly Poster Child fallen lol

But then as I write that I get a tugging feeling of controlling things and keeping things from my Master and I do not like that feeling at all. Soooo who knows. What I believe is Nick would not do anything to harm me.

I should get to bed....

Good Night....

My friend is okay!!!! I just got an email from him. He "felt the impact but no damage to him." Thank God! I started crying just so happy he is okay.

Day After....Sadness

Thinking of today (I guess yesterday) more......

I am sad. I am off. I am feeling numb at times. I am scared at times but not really. Is that weird from me? I am scared more for people in my live, then myself.

I am not angry. And not sure why. Retribution. I hear that and feel nothing.

What I feel is pain and sadness for the victims. Those killed - their families and friends. Those injured. Those who were in the building and on the planes and thought today would just be like yesterday another day...

It happened here....wow....

good night...

peace,
danae

Sep. 11, 2001

Well, wow how to describe a day like today. I am not sure I can......

As everyone knows...the US was attacked today by terrorist....

Timeline...

Tuesday, Sep. 11, 2001
Plane crashes into tower of World Trade Center in lower Manhattan, shortly before 9 a.m. Eastern. Second plane crashes into the second tower of the World Trade Center, shortly after 9 a.m. Eastern. An aircraft crashes near Pentagon, just outside of Washington D.C., in Northern Virginia, about an hour after the attacks in New York. Government buildings in Washington, including the Capitol and the White House, are evacuated with officials citing a credible threat of a terrorist attack. The Federal Aviation Administration shuts down all aircraft takeoffs nationwide...first time in history. Shortly after 10 a.m. Eastern, one World Trade Center tower in New York collapses, about an hour after being hit by plane. Officials at Somerset County Airport say a large plane crashes in western Pennsylvania, about 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, at about 10 a.m. The second tower of the World Trade Center collapses at 10:28 a.m. Eastern. Fourth explosion rocks the collapsed remains of the World Trade Center, at about 10:38 a.m.

My day.....

Today I took Kam to work and then did not have the radio on. Got to where I needed to be and was still not listening to the radio and TV. It was about 11am when I happen to catch a glance at a TV and saw a building on fire and someone talking about Cleveland Hopkins was closed down. I had my phone on silent and looked down and saw that Sir Nick had called. So I went and called him. He was the one that ended up telling me what was going on. I felt numb. I heard his words....and voice. It just was so unreal. It was made me kind of numb right then. I have felt distant and not sure but I guess that almost made me feel more distant. Not with him though just the world in general.

I heard his voice. He told me about the pentagon and I thought of someone I know that works for them. I still have not heard from that person and I am very worried about him. He was on vacation last week and all I could think was why couldn't it of been this week.

It is amazing this has happened.....I am not sure I feel it and other times I feel great sadness creep over me. I took my necklace off today and felt anxiety but I thought it was work related that I sometimes go through. But now I wonder. I was done with work and I felt shaky and remembered my necklace and put it back on and was okay. *shrugs*

I think Jim was suppose to be in NYC this week. I am not for sure. I wrote Jim's mom. My mom called me and I tried to call back but all the circuits were busy.

It is just all so surreal.

He was great on the phone. Telling me things that meant the world to me. He is so good to me....considerate. He signed online tonight and I know it was just to make me feel better even though he is so tired. I started to cry tonight as he chatted with me. And I am not sure why...I told Di. She said because you care about him. I do. Weird you think I would have got that by now. That I care about him.

I guess what happens when tragedy happens you think about those that you care about and see their place in your life.

I wish everyone peace and serenity tonight.....
