New Year - new name

Happy New Year to everyone. I wish you all good health, happiness and prosperity for yourselves,friends and family.
Whats with my name change on here?
If you are curious and I know bloggers are curious by nature....
I found for some reason I could not update various settings on my profile. I tried several times over the past few months but as it wasnt on top of my "to do list" I didnt really give much attention to it. I had decided it was just another MM glitch however a few days ago I noticed my username was highlighted in red. Turns out I could not update anything else until I either changed my email address or my user name.
Thats the mystery....
I decided to use my real name Tom but it wouldnt accept a 3 letter ID ! So here I am with my new and very imaginative name of maleprofile.
Happy New Year !

Favorite things over the decades

Found this online somewhere and thought some of you would like it.
---------------------------------
To commemorate her 69th birthday on October 1 2004, actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews,now 72, made a special appearance at Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP - American Association of Retired People. One of the musical numbers she performed was My Favorite Things from the legendary movie Sound Of Music.
Here are the lyrics she reportedly used:
* * * * * * *
*Maalox is an antiacid.
Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Cadillac's and cataracts, and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the pipes leak,
When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.
Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Back pains, confused brains, and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.
When the joints ache,
When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.
* * * * * * *
How have your favorite things changed over the decades?

spiked drinks

I had a last minute opportunity to meet a female friend a few nights ago. She was "in town on business" and after a hum drum business meeting over dinner she had time to kill before going to her nearby hotel. I joined her as she finished her first glass of white wine. We chatted in the restaurant bar until she finished her second glass of wine. I was drinking coffee......
I noticed she was slightly OTT in her behaviour but put it down to being on a high after running a training session and then escaping a boring business dinner. I escorted her to the hotel room intending to chat for an hour or so and then leave.
To say her behaviour was outrageous would be putting it mildly. I had to actually restrain her ! At first I thought she was "playing the fool". I stayed until she calmed down and left rather confused. I met her again the next day for dinner. I neither wanted nor expected an explanation or an apology but I was shocked to discover that she wanted one or the other from me! She had almost experienced an out of body experience it seems. She has no memory of her outrageous behaviour. All she remembered was me restraining her and having some sense of "humiliation". When I described the true events of the evening she was mortified and totally confused. She has lost about 3 hours of memory. The only explanation we can come up with is that someone in the bar thinking she was out on her own spiked her drink and perhaps planned to "pick her up" as she crossed the car park to her hotel.
Anyone else have experiences like this?

Song lyrics.......
72 Views
09/24/07

I play Hotel California by the Eagles on my guitar most days as its the only tune I can play from memory. Even the chorus of that is a bit iffy.
I emailed a friend who was "tutoring' me via email the chords and lyrics and was surprised to get a reply simply asking me "what are Colitas?"
Lyrics
TheIntro:
Am E G D F C Dm E ??? 2x times
Am E
On a dark desert highway
G D
Cool wind in my hair
F C
Warm smell of a colitas
Dm E
Rising up through the air
Am E
Up a head in the distance
G D
I saw shimering light
F C
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
Dm E
I had to stop for the night
Am E
There she stood in the door way
G D
I heared the mission bell
F C
And I was thinking to myself
Dm E
This could be heaven and this could be hell
Am E
Then she lit up a candle
G D
And she showed me the way
F C
There were voices down the corridor
Dm E
I thought I heared them say
Chorus:
F C
Welcome to the Hotel California
E7
Such a lovely place
Am
Such a lovely face
F C
Plenty of the room at the Hotel California
Dm
Any time of year
E7
You can find it here
Am E G D F C Dm E ??? 2x times
More verses ......
So are you wondering what Colitas are? All these years of listening to the song and playing on my guitar I had thought it was some sort of Mexican food however the question from my friend got me wondering. Obviously I went on to Google. You can do your own research and after commenting on Hotel California perhaps there are other song lyrics that you have misunderstood or just not got?

To blog or not to blog....

That is the question.
Everyone,myself included,who added fuel to the recent "blog pyre" are taking the blogs far too seriously. I think the secret for regular bloggers is perhaps not to get involved when others have a blog "tete a tete". How quickly would a blog war discipate if they were left to blog/slog it out on their own?
It also highlights the reality of online identities and that is that we cannot really know anyone simply from blogging,IMs or even emails. Writing blogs may share with our fellow bloggers some of our characteristics,morals,beliefs etc etc but the complete person is so much more than just their blog. Have you ever read a book and felt some connection with one of the characters? The blogs are like an interactive book where we each have just a glimpse into each others lives. A blogger,in other words, could be likened to an ever changing character in a book until such times as you actually meet.
Lets get back to talking about sex with aliens etc !

Sex,lies and blogging

It seems the blog of deceit has ran full circle. I mostly shook my head during the days of the old blog wars. Those days were there seemed to be more "trolls" than real people on MM. Multiple personalities all originating from the same person or persons it would seem has been a long term issue on here and not sporadic as the more niave blogger may think.
What is the real objective of faking a personality? Are people so lonely and desperate to make friends that they will do anything to impress others? Like it or not MM is a dating site so what happens next when the improvised personality actually entices someone, a genuine person, to fall for them? Surely a meeting is enivatable...
What do you ultimatley have to gain spending hours pretending to be someone else and in some cases more than one person? What would happen if you allowed your true self to "blog"? What wouldn't happen if you allowed your true self to blog?
Are you willing to confess all on here in your true identity? To whom am I speaking you may ask,it could be you.

Who are you?

Who are you?
It is a question asked on training courses every day and often by therapists to their client.
Who are you?
Often confused by "What do you do?"
I remember when I was about 18 years old being introduced as " this is Tom he is an electrician". Even back then I was aware of labels and of how limiting they can be. An electrician? Is that all you are?
So at that ripe young age I decided I could be anything I wanted to be. Modelling Jim Rockford rather than Thomas Magnum I worked for a few years as a Private Investigator.......
Often my electrician background became very useful when "on a case". Soon afterwards "bodyguard", surveillance expert", "Commando", "search engine optimisation guru", web designer" were added to the seemingly disjointed resume....
NLP,Ericksonian hypnotherapy and storytelling are the latest "qualifications" to be gathered.
Recently I have dabbled in environmental investigations and "local politics" and I have found that my life experience and along with my seemingly disjointed skills are tested to the full.
With this new insight I was asked recently on a course "Who are you?"
My answer....
"Who I am is everything I have ever been and everything I have yet to be".
A woman on the course agreed but added that the here and now should be savoured like the first bite of a strawberry........
So who are you?

HOT DATE - PART IV - FINALE
230 Views
07/28/07
|
Previously on "HOT DATE III";
I had commented I felt underage in this bar. Farrah smiled and said I probably was in this company................
PART IV
So there I am sipping the last of my spiced rum as I lean on the bar beside Farrah,wondering WTF I am doing there. Farrah doesnt seem to remember who I am,big Bob the DJ is playing stuff from the 50s,all my aunties are still side stepping and clapping hands and even kicking the occassional leg in the air now. I have been chatting to a very smartly dressed drunk for 10mins and I have no idea what he has been saying. I am thinking now 30mins after my arrival on what would be the most appropriate departure. It is only myself,farrah and the drunk at the bar. The bouncer arrives almost like the shopkeeper from the "Mr Benn" cartoon. No leaning on the bar and if you have got your drink please move away ! I said no problem. I tilted my glass,emptying the last drops down my throat.........
MUWAH x MUWAH x - Some final cheek kissing for Farrah as I whispered into her ear........
" I am so outa here, goodbye".
"Oh ! goodbye" she says.
At the foyer I ran the gauntlet of the geriatric knitting bee sentries. " Leaving so soon" one said with a smile that suggested she had been expecting me to leave sooner - lol
"yes, I am not quite ready for this place yet". I replied,smiling back.

HOT DATE - PART III
73 Views
07/28/07

Still reading? I know "yawns"...
So I have now paid about $8 to join and a further $10 to enter. I have to side step into the toilets to tuck my shirt in as the bouncer has made it clear he will stalk me until I do. I look in the mirror and it looks very uncooth with no belt on my pants,so I decide to keep my waist length "black hitman jacket" on and leave the zip just up about an inch to cover the lack of belt. Still looking sort of cool I decide and venture out to explore. Bouncer is waiting,he scowls at me and then nods his head as he notes my shirt is tucked in. I know how to find people in clubs. I quickly sussed this clientele out and suspected "Farrah" would be near one of the bar areas surrounded by men,like flies round sh**e as the saying goes -haha. Sure enough I spotted the tossing of long bonde hair from a 5ft 10 model figure at a 100 paces and as suspected surrounded by a grey haired fan club. I caught her eye,smiled and said hello. She smiled back sort of....
I didnt push into the pack of wolves around her. I had a quick glance around the venue,looking at the dance floor and the DJ booth. Were those people really doing the slosh? Did the writing on the DJ booth really say "Big Bob's mobile Discoteche" ? Why was I having flashbacks to family weddings and thinking of my old Aunties side stepping and clapping on the dance floor. A woman in her 90s winked at me as she passed on her way to the bar. This broke my trance- lol - Yes I winked back - haha . I got myself a spiced rum and sipped as I watched Farrah in action with her followers. I had pretty much decided I would leave as soon as I had finished my drink but I would of course speak to Farrah first.
11.30pm - I move around the bar now I see a gap in the swarming flies and approach farrah. I say hello and smile. She says "what are you doing here?" My first thought was did she even know who I was!

HOT DATE PART II
45 Views
07/28/07

Previously on HOT DATE PART I;
While sipping latte in the beer garden............
Next topic of discussion was fitness etc - no chance of going up mountains or working out as she confessed to being lazy. She did join a gym but on rowing machine for example she just lies there -lol.
Cimbing mountains - she did buy a pair of boots once.....
So next we chat about this singles club. She doesnt paint a very nice picture. Mostly married men out for a bit on the side and a load of old slappers she says,however its good for a bit of a knees up.
I was liking the sound of it less and less.
5pm - MUWAW x MUWAH x - more cheek kissing as we part with no definate plan about the singles club later that night.
I knew there was an 11pm curfew..
10.30pm - I chat to Sarah on here and she says "Just go and tell me all about it tomorrow" - thanks Sarah !
Already showered all I had to do was get dressed. I put on a soft,black,silky short sleeved shirt with top two buttons undone for coolness and a pair of loose fitting cream linen pants (trousers). Smart and sophisticated I decided while being comfortable and informal.
10.59pm - I park my car at the club (10min drive). As I enter I am confused by what looks like a geriatric spelling bee lined up on each side of the foyer. Two older ladies on each side armed with paperwork and little cashboxes. I am informed I have to join and the membeship/ID check takes place on one side and then I pay to enter the club at the other wee ladies on the other side! So there I am flashing my bodyguard ID card and next thing wee old lady tells me I need to tuck my shirt in ! My shirt is designed to be worn hanging over top of my pants and as such I didnt wear a belt. The bouncer is now attracted by this CONFLICT - haha -- Yes sir you need to tuck your shirt in - he points at hand written sign on door which says " We have reviewed our already strict dress code and decided gents shirts must be tucked in".

HOT DATE ! - PART I
48 Views
07/28/07
|
Inspired by current matchmaking activity on here and a kick from Sarah I made time yesterday to go on a date. I know ,how controversial!
It was sounding too good to be true. 40 year old model/promotions girl who was into skydiving,mountaineering,bunjee off the Eifeel tower etc etc. She had the look of Farrah Fawcett in her Charlies Angels heyday,after a decent meal of course -lol
We had been discussing meeting at a singles "club". I sensed something sleazy or at least out of my comfort zone about this regular singles night and said I would consider it if we could meet earlier for coffee.
So.......
3pm date arranged at nice,cool bar with beer garden.
2.50pm - I am sitting in glorious sunshine in the beer garden and 10 mins early ! More controversy -lol
3.05pm - "Farrah" pulls into the car park.
As it's our first actual "meeting" I decide it would be more appropriate to greet more discreetly at the car rather than in the beer garden seating area. So I walk across to her car. MUWAH x MUWAH x - some cheek kissing and smiles going on. She had long blonde (fake) hair and a knock out figure I have to say. I had just ordered a latte and it arrived as we both sat down. I offered her my latte and ordered another.
Despite being rather sunny I had conciously left my shades in the car. I thought it would be rather pretentious sitting with my shades on. So there she is sitting across from me with her Hollywood shades on -lol
No eye contact at this point. Conversation was easy and lighthearted. When her latte arrived she pushed up her shades. I had already been wondering if she had told a little white lie about her age but this confirmed it. Either she was much older than 40 or had been living a "hellraiser" lifestyle. I noted other signs that I wont go into detail on out of respect for our older bloggers - lol- I am sure you get the idea.
Anyway the conversation moved onto a mutual business interest.
TO BE CONTINUED.

DOG WALKING WITHOUT A DOG ?
85 Views
07/25/07

I did a search on Google to check the spelling beleive it or not for "BAM CHIKA WA WAH" and I found this blog on yahoo answers. Its too funny not to share;
QUESTION.
Should I go dogging?
I don't know what it is but my flatmate has been very elusive of late. When I ask him where he's been he says 'dogging'. He doesn't have a dog, i do but I know he doesn't take mine. He's invited me along tonight, but won't say what it is, only that I'll like it. I'm guessing its like a long dog walk or something, or helping strays, but he doesn't seem the type. Anyway, what is it? What should I wear? Should I go?
ANSWERS;

Millionaire Match...
It has an aura of sophistication to the unsuspecting member. Once upon a time I did think this place had something special but I have to say now it is no different to any other tacky web site.
Why do MM allow members to sign up with offensive or suggestive IDs etc ? If the decent members can spot trouble why cant the management? Curious...

KIMI CUPID ----->

Her matchmaking is the most positive energy to flow through these blogs and I hope it is contagious. I wasnt a blogger last time Kimi was "in town" so didnt appreciate the fun she generated on here.
I am not apologising on here for deleting you Kimi,you know where I am ;-)
This blog will self destruct in 48hrs.
CUPID
In Roman mythology, Cupid (Latin cupido) or Amor is the god of erotic love. He is equated with the Greek god Eros, and another one of his Latin names Amor (cognate with Kama). In popular culture Cupid is frequently shown shooting his bow to inspire romantic love, often as an icon of Valentine's Day.

4000ft ! No parachute
100 Views
06/28/07
|
Taking a break from actual climbing myself and two friends were in the Scottish cairngorms mountain region "winter walking" and "bothying". We based ourselves in the Corour bothy just below the Devils Point in the famous Lairig Ghru ,mountain pass between Braemar and Aviemore.
This particular day we were on the summit of Devils Point and walking in white out condition in deep snow towards Cairn Toul. It was my "leg" to lead. As conditions were so bad on the tops we were doing short bounds of 100m. I checked the compass bearing and started walking slowly counting my paces. I had decided to walk about 70 double paces on this bearing.
So in my head I was counting every left foot pace.
1,2,3........
9.10..........WHOOOOOOOOSH !
I had no senstation of anything other than falling. No fear,no life flashing in front of my eyes.
Free falling for a split second perhaps before making impact with a steep frozen snow covered slope. On my back I was sliding at quite a speed. 60 miles per hour maybe,who knows ! Whats the formula again? Velocity = mass x acceleration. Acceleration being related to force of gravity at 10m per second squared or something like that - haha . I am sure the mathematicians out there will do the sums;-)
So I am sliding very fast. Now I was terrified. Free falling without a parachute I was totally in the hands of destiny however on terra firma even at that speed I was in a position to make choices. I knew that using the ice axe at that speed to slow down could dislocate my shoulder and probably result in dropping the axe which attached to my wrist by a loop would probably end up stabbing my body...
By time those thoughts flashed through my mind I was free falling again........
*In the photo if you look real close in the middle at foot of the mountain you can see the bothy were that adventure began at foot of the Devils Point. Area of incident to the right.

TOY BOY SHOCK !

How many of you thought I had been snapped by an older woman? Come on own up - haha
This blog is about me winning a UK TV Gold Space Hopper! They had a blog where you were asked to tell them about your favourite toy as a child.
Here was my toy boy story;
"Soldiering On!
Plastic toy soldiers, spud gun and a pile of spuds for ammo. Heavy artillery provided by a matchstick launching cannon!
Spend hours setting up the two armies and then minutes knocking them down again. Boy heaven!"
I had totally forgotten about this until this morning the postman arrived with a special delivery package. I had no idea what it was until I opened it and there was a giant gold space hopper and pump !
What was your favourite toy?

DOWSING - AUTO SUGGESTION
879 Views
06/24/07

I recently watched a Derren Brown show on tv. He is indeed a very talented hypnotist,performer,illusionist and I would also add psycologist. This particular experiment was performed I think in the Nevada desert. A very remote desert area anyway with nothing but blue skies and sand dunes. Derren was using a guy who had shown an interest in the art of dowsing for water. Derren briefed the man on what to expect. To demonstrate how the dowsing rods worked he had the guy move back & forth over a bottle of water or something. As we expect to see the two metal rods,one held in each hand, come closer together as he nears the water and finally make a cross when he is directly over it. Derren now sends the guy into the open desert with his rods to dowse for a water source he has prepped earlier. They both have radio headsets on and Derren chats to him as he moves off with his dowsing rods. He also has a shovel on his backpack.
Derren asks some questions,plants thoughts, of the guy with very predictable answers. One I can remember is " as you walk along you can feel the sensation of a color, what color do you feel?" Well in the open desert on a clear day the most distinct color has to be either the blue of the sky or the brown of the sand. The guy chooses the blue of course. He asks other questions which do not have as predictable answers. I cant remember the exact question but words to the effect of who would you seek inspiration from in this dowsing task? The answer was his grandfather. There was maybe a total of 4 to 6 questions as the guy continued walking into the desert. Finally the dowsing rods moved and he zoomed in on the "water source". The rods crossed when he was a good few hundred metres away from Derren Brown and the camera crew. He had a camera on him for the benefit of us the viewers. Over the location that the rods crossed he got his shovel and started digging. After digging down a few feet he found one of those small black plastic cylinders or capsules that 35mm camera film is stored in. His first thought was he had punctured it with the shovel and the water had drained out. In actual fact there was never any water in it. He was instructed to open it. By this time of course Derren and the camera crew have ran over to join him. Inside the capsule is a rolled up piece of paper with words hand written by Derren Brown basically predicting the choices this guy would make in response to the questions. It said he would approach his objective with a feeling of the color blue and inspired by his grandfather etc etc almost word perfect.
Very interesting to watch. Wondering if anyone seen it and what conclusions you came to.
The video will probably be on youtube I would think if anyone wants to see it.
