…and because I am still here.  What is happening to our supposedly free internet?  I thought there was no way to control the web.  What is going on? Is there nothing that can be done to stave off this impending swell of censorious sentiment?

Just because I have been absent for a few days and so many of our wonderful blogs are disappearing like raindrops on a tin roof.

Today is Bastille Day and for those of you who don’t know what that means, it’s France’ independence day.  Okay, so we haven’t exactly seen eye to eye with the French on a few things, but let us never forget that they came to our aid during our own fight for independence.  In fact, one might say it is because of our revolutionary war that the French started their own revolution.  If France hadn’t stretched its economy so thin by bad fiscal policies, which included sending funds to America during our fight for independence, the French peasants wouldn’t have taken to the streets and started their revolution which began with the storming of the Bastille prison on this day in1789.  Read more about it if you are so inclined. Here endeth the lesson.

So Hurricane Alex is gone and all we got here in Houston was a lot of rain.  I’m not complaining, mind you.  I had a chance to collect a bunch of photos for the blog.  Pull your cock out and start jacking.

It’s not so much a case of when it will end, this massive oil “leak” in the Gulf of Mexico, but how it will end.  Are we looking at the beginning of the end of life in the great body of water?  The thing that really bothers me is BP would not have spent all that money and time to drill a well so deep( 5000 ft. over a mile deep) if they weren’t pretty sure there was a buttload of oil down there.  If BP, or someone else, can’t find a way to stop this prodigious outpouring of crude, it could, in all likelihood, go on for years, turning the Gulf and the surrounding coastline, into a giant sludge pit.  God, how depressing.

Here’s the NPR link that graphically illustrates just how much oil is pouring out.

…I question what I am doing here, doing a blog about cute naked men.  There is so many more inspiring and worthwhile ways I could be using my little corner of the web.  But then I bring myself back to reality and face the fact that this is what I want to do.  This is the way I want to spend a limited amount of my time.  I can’t think about doom and gloom all the time.

Yes, it’s getting hot out there.  Summer is starting to kick in and you know what that means.  Go ahead, take off you clothes.

It should be memorable.

This is the time that feels so fine to be outside the house.  It’s warm and guys are getting shirtless everywhere, yet not that sweltering heat that will oppress us soon enough.
