At the age of thirteen, he moved to San Francisco, California.

Carlos: The Devil is like a strainer that separates the mud from the gold.
Carlos: The more choices we give patients affected by depression, the better we will serve them.
Carlos: Capturing the sound -- to be soulful, sincere, simple, be true to the motives of honoring the music. And that's all I concentrated on.
Carlos: My job in this life is to give people spiritual ecstasy through music. In my concerts people cry, laugh, dance. If they climaxed spiritually, I did my job. I did it decently and honestly.
Carlos: That's a good question. I say it every day in interviews and when I'm on stage, and people say, how come he doesn't just play and be quiet? You have a FOX network that says celebrities shouldn't have opinions.
Carlos: If our history can challenge the next wave of musicians to keep moving and changing, to keep spiritually hungry and horny, that's what it's all about.
Carlos: I can show you that I have played with just about every jazz musician, every African musician, every blues musician. It's not like I'm cashing in on a false concept. This is what I do.
Carlos: Just as we have two eyes and two feet, duality is part of life.
Carlos: Every musician who participated was on the same wavelength and artistic energy as I was... Supernatural is a beautiful example of synchronicity... making it was a truly glorious experience.
Carlos: When a baby comes you can smell two things: the smell of flesh, which smells like chicken soup, and the smell of lilies, the flower of another garden, the spiritual garden.
Carlos: It's time for people to realize that we are all mixed up inside. That is why there is so much diversity on my records. I can relate to so many cultures and I want that to be reflected in my music.
Carlos: Angels cry because they want to experience what you and I feel: the moment. They live in eternity. They don't know what it is like to read a newspaper and get ink on your fingers. They don't know what it is like to take your shoes off and wiggle your toes under the dinner table.
Carlos: Your wrinkles either show that you're nasty, cranky, and senile, or that you're always smiling.
Carlos: I'm laughing because I know the secret of life. And the secret of life is that I have validated my existence. I know that I am worth more than my house, my bank account, or any physical thing.
Carlos: The most valuable possession you can own is an open heart. The most powerful weapon you can be is an instrument of peace.
Carlos: When I hit that note - if I hit it correctly - I'm just as important as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, or anybody. Because when I hit that note, I hit the umbilical cord of anybody who is listening.
Carlos: First of all, the music that people call Latin or Spanish is really African. So black people need to get the credit for that.
Carlos: If you can please people's hearts in Africa and Japan, then you're part of the world's family... not a tourist.
Carlos: Some songs are just like tattoos for your brain... you hear them and they're affixed to you.
Carlos: Realize that when you get older, you either get senile or become gracious. There's no in-between. You become senile when you think the world short-changed you, or everybody wakes up to screw you. You become gracious when you realize that you have something the world needs, and people are happy to see you when you come into the room.
Carlos: Most people are prisoners, thinking only about the future or living in the past. They are not in the present, and the present is where everything begins.

Brigitte Bardot
After traveling to Britain to appear in 1955's Doctor at Sea, Bardot returned to France to begin work on her first starring role in 1956's La Lumiere d'en Face; the film's producer, Christine Gouze-Renal, subsequently became her mentor and handled her career for a number of years. While still largely an unknown, Bardot soon enjoyed a string of hits, including Cette Sacree Gamine, Mi Figlio Nerone, and En Effeuillant la Marguerite, which positioned her as France's top sex symbol by 1957. As Bardot's popularity continued to soar, producer Raoul J. Levy offered Vadim the opportunity to direct his wife in Et Dieu Crea la Femme, an erotic melodrama co-starring Jean-Louis Trintignant. The film made Bardot an international star, earning over four million dollars in the U.S. alone; as rumors swirled about a possible affair between her and Trintignant, her marriage to Vadim began to crumble, although their respective careers remained intertwined for years to come.
Bardot's popularity with American audiences was unprecedented for a non-English speaking actress, and after Levy cut a reported $225,000 three-picture deal with Columbia for her services, she next starred in the sex romp Une Parisienne, followed by Vadim's Les Bijoutiers du Clair de Lune. After much deliberation, plans were finally announced for Bardot's English-language debut Paris by Night, to be helmed by Vadim and starring Frank Sinatra; the project fell through, however, and she next appeared in 1960's Babette s'en va-t-en Guerre opposite Jacques Charrier, who briefly became her second husband. While filming Henri-Georges Clouzot's La Verite later that year, Bardot attempted suicide on her 26th birthday; after production resumed, the completed film rose to become France's top moneymaker for the year, but it marked the end of her Columbia deal, and in light of her cooling popularity in the States and in Britain, no other deals were immediately forthcoming.
In 1960, Bardot released a pop music album, Behind Brigitte Bardot; several other LPs, including 1963's Brigitte Bardot Sings and 1968's Special Bardot, were to follow, and she scored a number of hit singles in tandem with the infamous singer/songwriter Serge Gainsbourg. After she fired the original director on the 1961 comedy La Bride Sur le Cou, Vadim stepped in to complete the picture; she next starred with Marcello Mastroianni in Louis Malle's La Vie Privée, delivering a clearly autobiographical turn as a young celebrity unable to cope with the pressures of stardom. The picture was intended as Bardot's swan song, but she was quickly coerced out of retirement to star in Jean-Luc Godard's brilliant Le Mépris; while today recognized as a classic, at the time of its release the movie was the subject of very mixed reviews, with considerable editing required for release outside of France. As a result, it was a commercial disaster, and Bardot's standing as Europe's most popular actress was usurped by Sophia Loren.
After finally making an American film, 1964's family comedy Dear Brigitte, Bardot began work on Mallle's comedy Viva Maria!, which paired her opposite Jeanne Moreau. When it failed to live up to international box-office expectations, few of Bardot's subsequent films were screened outside of France; even within her native land her star continued to dim, and she did not appear in another certified hit prior to 1970's L'Ours et la Poupee. However, when the Vadim-helmed Don Juan 1973 ou Si Don Juan Etait une Femme and 1974's L' Histoire Tres Bonne et Tres Joyeuse de Colinot Trousse Chemise failed, Bardot again announced plans for retirement; this time, apart from a handful of television appearances, she made good on her promise, and consistently refused all offers to return to the screen. In later years she became something of a recluse, but continued to make occasional headlines through her ardent support of animal rights causes. ~ Jason Ankeny

Yesterday, I read that King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has decided to make an offer of $150 billion to buy out Facebook in an effort to prevent people from using it to organize any more protests. So I thought to myself, "Dammit! Now the entire section of this column about Facebook advertising will be useless." But I was wrong. And so was the article.
Let's face it. Social media is no longer an optional component of your marketing strategy. If anything, it should be making its way right to the core. With so many channels and outlets for people to talk, the amount of noise out there is both incredible and overwhelming. Are you expected to listen to and measure everything? Not unless you're a robot.
Yes, as marketers, we are tempted to measure the hell out of everything to justify our decisions. But a wise man once said that "Measuring for measurement's sake is a fool's errand. But we're all fools now and again." This wise man goes by the name of Jim Sterne.
So instead of letting ourselves get buried under heaps of data, let me help you pick out a few meaningful metrics to monitor and measure. Once you've mastered those, you can start digging deeper.
Before we identify what the metrics are, let's take one step back and consider the channels. With hundreds of social media sites out there, let's focus on the red hot ones. You guessed it – Facebook and Twitter.
When it comes to Facebook, you'll want to measure two categories of metrics – users and content.
- Users
- New likes
- Lifetime likes
- Unsubscribes
- Content
Start off by measuring interactions that relate to the content you've posted. Look at things like:
- Impressions
- Feedback. These are things such as "likes," comments, and shares. Care to dig deeper? Try monitoring clicks or downloads of links you share.
The next step is to dig a little deeper to figure out what kind of content people are most interested in. If you dive into your Facebook Insights page, you'll see a table that breaks down everything you post, and how many impressions it received and how many times people interacted with it. See any patterns? More often than not, you'll find that people will interact most when you're not pushing your product in their face.
It's not hard to guess that when you think about Twitter, the first two things that come to mind are how many people follow you and how many you follow back. Those are not the most important metrics, so please don't obsess about them. And to put you at ease, here are the three most common questions I get asked about following/followers:
How many followers should I have?
Quality over quantity. Nine hundred followers who don't care about your brand, or 100 loyal ones who engage and interact? You tell me.
What is a follower worth?
Two dollars. I'm serious. Or at least that's what Twitter suggests you spend on acquiring a follower using its Promoted Accounts advertising method.
How many people should I follow back?
Avinash Kaushik has 34,062 followers but only follows 88 back. David Szetela has 54,389 followers and follows 59,831. Do you want to know whose strategy is better? Yeah…me too!
It's time to put our big marketing egos aside for a minute and look beyond this follower/following ratio. What really matters is if people are interested in what you're saying, regardless of how many are following you.
So which metrics really matter in Twitter?
- Impressions (only available if you're promoting your tweets)
- Retweets
- Replies
- Clicks
If you are using Twitter's Promoted Accounts feature, you'll want to look at:
- Impressions
- Account views
- Follows
And just like Facebook, you'll want to use these metrics to monitor which type of content your users are most interested in.
So why should you care? Because since 2008, search engines have been stressing how important this is by integrating social elements in their results. Google will show tweets and Bing will show Facebook "likes." Don't you want to appear there?
Want more? Come on down to Search Engine Strategies New York where I'll be presenting the Social Media Metrics session and sharing 100 more ways to measure social media.

It seems to me the front line of Kirlinko, Okur, and Boozer played very well together durning the last 1/4 of the season. I am 100% sure that they would of made the playoffs if all three were healthy. Its just hard for me to understand why the jazz are so willing to abandon this front line.
Now maybe is missing something, like Boozer saying he wants out publicly. Its a known fact that players dont want to be in utah. But Carlos is from Alaska, so he knows all about cold weather. Seems we should try and keeps him here just based on the fact that there are no other PF's in the league that we could get an equal trade for.... that would be willing to play here.
I hope you all agree the last thing the Jazz needs is another streaky shooter like Wally Szerbiak.
I don't know that the Jazz are willing to let him go unless they get something comparable in return. Boozer's a difficult read, but the way he played the last 25 games or so in 2006 hopefully tell that he's willing to work. With Okur, AK, Deron Williams, Boozer and a few decent additions (which I think the Jazz have made through the draft and recent trades), I think this is a competitive team.
I'd like to see the current team 'gel' (or at least attempt to) and see what happens. There's no HUGE superstars, but there are a lot of good players. If they play team basketball, they'll be pretty dangerous in the playoffs.
It's hard to know where the trade rumors are coming from. It could be someone trying to move Iverson, thinking that the Jazz would make a move on an 'unhappy' Boozer. IMHO, the Jazz overpaid for Boozer (at least what he's been able to play). If Boozer wants out, he's going to have to play good enough that the Jazz can get the value out of him that they need to get through a trade. If he does that, the Jazz are a pretty good team and I wonder if the winning would cure any dislikes about whatever. Even if he hates it here, he doesn't live here and he's got a job like a lot of people that require him to travel quite a bit. He's compensated WELL to travel that much.

Official Look At Detective Harvey Bullock From Gotham
Reported by Jay Cochran - 2014.03.20
Fox has released our first official image of the upcoming DC Comics based "Gotham" TV series. The first official character image which Variety says is just the first of several reveals coming gives us a look at Donal Logue As Detective Harvey Bullock.
Everyone knows the name Commissioner Gordon. He is one of the crime worlds greatest foes, a man whose reputation is synonymous with law and order. But what is known of Gordons story and his rise from rookie detective to Police Commissioner? What did it take to navigate the multiple layers of corruption that secretly ruled Gotham City, the spawning ground of the worlds most iconic villains? And what circumstances created them the larger-than-life personas who would become Catwoman, The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face and The Joker?
GOTHAM is an origin story of the great DC Comics super villains and vigilantes, revealing an entirely new chapter that has never been told. From executive producer/writer Bruno Heller (The Mentalist, Rome), GOTHAM follows one cops rise through a dangerously corrupt city teetering on the edge of evil and chronicles the birth of one of the most popular super heroes of our time.
Growing up in Gotham Citys surrounding suburbs, JAMES GORDON (Ben McKenzie, Southland, The O.C.) romanticized the city as a glamorous and exciting metropolis where his late father once served as a successful district attorney. Now, two weeks into his new job as a Gotham City detective and engaged to his beloved fiancée, BARBARA KEAN (Erin Richards, Open Grave, Breaking In), Gordon is living his dream even as he hopes to restore the city back to the pure version he remembers it was as a kid.
Brave, honest and ready to prove himself, the newly-minted detective is partnered with the brash, but shrewd police legend HARVEY BULLOCK (Donal Logue, Sons of Anarchy, Terriers, Vikings, Copper), as the two stumble upon the citys highest-profile case ever: the murder of local billionaires Thomas and Martha Wayne. At the scene of the crime, Gordon meets the sole survivor: the Waynes hauntingly intense 12-year-old son, BRUCE (David Mazouz, Touch), toward whom the young detective feels an inexplicable kinship. Moved by the boys profound loss, Gordon vows to catch the killer.
As he navigates the often-underhanded politics of Gothams criminal justice system, Gordon will confront imposing gang boss FISH MOONEY (Jada Pinkett Smith, The Matrix films, HawthoRNe, Collateral), and many of the characters who will become some of fictions most renowned, enduring villains, including a teenaged SELINA KYLE/the future CATWOMAN (acting newcomer Camren Bicondova) and OSWALD COBBLEPOT/THE PENGUIN (Robin Lord Taylor, The Walking Dead, Another Earth).
Although the crime drama will follow Gordons turbulent and singular rise through the Gotham City police department, led by Police Captain SARAH ESSEN (Zabryna Guevara, Burn Notice), it also will focus on the unlikely friendship Gordon forms with the young heir to the Wayne fortune, who is being raised by his unflappable butler, ALFRED (Sean Pertwee, Camelot, Elementary). It is a friendship that will last them all of their lives, playing a crucial role in helping the young boy eventually become the crusader hes destined to be.
GOTHAM is based upon characters published by DC Comics and is produced by Warner Bros. Television. Executive producer Bruno Heller (The Mentalist) wrote the pilot, which will be directed and executive-produced by Emmy Award nominee Danny Cannon (the CSI series, Nikita).

Have ever dreamed of winning a big prize like a new home, car or vacation? What could be wrong with getting something expensive for free? Unfortunately, many of the biggest prizes come with major consequences that could leave you poorer than before you hit the jackpot. Here we look at some high-profile prizes that may cost more than they're worth. (To learn more about common financial fantasies that get people in trouble, see 4 Fatal Financial Fantasies.)
IN PICTURES: 6 Biggest Millionaire Flops
A House
ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" has hugely popularized dramatic home makeovers since it first hit the air in 2003. And if yours is the struggling family who gets to replace a modest and perhaps somewhat dilapidated home with an ultra-hip designer house, this show's story line plays out like the American dream, except for one thing: a big house costs a lot more money.
Technically, most prize winnings are taxed as income by the IRS. Interestingly, Extreme Makeover has reportedly been able to avoid this thanks to a legal loophole. However, if you win a home makeover or new home through a different route, the IRS will expect you to report it on your Form 1040 as "other" income. It will be taxed at your regular marginal tax rate. And even if you're avoiding tax from a contest thanks to a loophole, don't necessarily count on the fact that the IRS will always allow this.
Unfortunately, the costs of this type of prize don't end there. a recent story in The Wall Street Journal detailed the less-than-fairy-tale endings of some of Extreme Home Makeover's earliest contestants, many of whom reportedly struggled with paying the upkeep on homes that in many cases were three or four times the size of their original homes. For many, a bigger house meant higher property taxes, maintenance costs and insurance.
Many homeowners were also unable to resist tapping into their new home equity, strapping themselves with bigger mortgage payments in the process. In the end, several winners of the contest have been forced to sell their homes or have gone into foreclosure. (For more insight on how to reduce costs with a smaller home, see Downsize Your Home To Downsize Expenses.)
Although Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is only one example, for those who score this rich prize, taxes and increased ownership expenses may leave them house poor.
A Luxury Car
Maybe you couldn't resist putting your name in the sweepstakes draw for a new luxury sports car. However, if you win a new car, you can estimate that the IRS will collect about one-third of its value in taxes. This might not be so bad if you win a $15,000 Ford Fiesta (you get a brand new car by paying $5,000 to the IRS!), but if you win, say, a 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet, which retails for $143,000, you might not call yourself quite so lucky.
Plus, you can bet the insurance (and gas mileage) on this 500 horsepower bullet will be significantly more than your current daily driver. Otherwise, you'd be buying yourself a Porsche, rather than trying to win one, right? (To learn more about the costs of your commute, see The True Cost Of Owning A Car.)
A Vacation
If you can't afford to go on vacation, this may be the case even if the trip is "free". In many cases, you will still be expected to cover some expenses on a free tip. Besides having to claim any trip over $600 on your tax return, you may end up footing a larger share of your vacation bill than you imagined.
For example, April 30th is the closing date for a contest by Wall Street Journal Travel, in which the prize is a trip for two to Paris. The trip includes airfare from New York to Paris, hotel and ground transportation and half a day of sightseeing. But don't assume you could afford this trip; if you don't live in New York, you will be responsible for travel expenses to get there, all your food costs (which will be sizeable in this city of gourmands!), sightseeing, tips and all other spending money. Needless to say, these expenses could easily add up to the $4,200 the contest provider is shelling out. (Find out how to get a good deal on a great vacation in 7 Ways To Save On Summer Getaways.)
A Dream Wedding
With most surveys pegging the average cost of a wedding at $20,000, it's no wonder that many couples scramble at the chance to score a stylish wedding for free. That said, a contest win often comes with additional costs - in this case perhaps both to you and your pocketbook.
Take the upcoming wedding prize package being offered by Harper's Bazaar. It's a designer wedding worth more than $33,000, which includes a stay at a spa resort in Mexico. To be fair, the contest appears to pay for the key expenses, and the publication is very straightforward about what isn't covered - which could really add up for a cash-strapped bride and groom.
For example, the package comes complete with a $2,000 engagement photo shoot in New York - but transportation to and from New York is not provided. Bridesmaids' dresses and a designer wedding gown come with the package, but the cost of alterations don't. This isn't to say that the wedding won't be cheaper than if you'd done something similar yourself, but it's also going to be harder to budget when someone else is calling the shots.
Plus, for picky brides (and possibly grooms), a prize wedding can sometimes mean having the wedding the prize sponsor wants. The Harper's Bazaar package stipulates a cake, decor and other details to be chosen by the sponsor. Accepting a prize wedding may make having a wedding your way next to impossible - and for many people, that's worth something too. (Want to plan (and pay) for your own wedding? Read Have A Princess Wedding On A Pauper Budget for tips.)
The Bottom Line
Many people dream of winning a big prize in a lottery, contest or sweepstakes. The problem is, when the prize isn't cash, the tax burden and additional expenses associated with your winnings can really add up. Before you accept any prize, find out what it's worth - and what it will cost you - before you accept it. Turning down a prize can be hard to swallow, but in some cases you'll find it much more palatable than the dent it could make in your savings.

Car Covers : Opinions Please
I recently bought a Noah cover for my truck. At the website (AutoAnything.com) it stated that the cover was good for "extended outdoor use ... in rainy areas" etc. but when I received the cover and saw the enclosed literature, the first thing I noticed was, "This cover is NOT waterproof."
Sigh ...
We had a rainy evening coming, so I thought I'd see how it would do. After 4 hours of a steady rain, I checked my truck and discovered the body was wet underneath the cover. So, I called and complained -- "This is NOT what I bought the cover for!" They reply by saying that no cover manufacturer on earth makes a waterproof cover because if the cover doesn't let moisture out, the cover interacts with the paint and causes permanent paint damage!
In short, I returned the cover and am attempting to get my $200 back.
Tonight, I went to Home Depot and bought a plastic tarp (waterproof) and a nice soft drop-cloth. I figure on putting the drop-cloth (feels like felt) over my truck, and then the plastic tarp, next time we are supposed to have a major snow and/or rain storm.
Any opinions on this? Has anyone else done the same? I just want to keep my truck as dry as I can, when I can ... and also make it easier to get the snow off when we have snow storms -- until I can finally find a place with a garage.
54 Chevy Pickup
The main problems with covers in my book is the increased scratches in the paint. Any particle between the paint and the cover is possible potential. If it is outside, it is even worse with the wind moving the cover over the vehicle.
I have to use a cover on my gold wing here in Japan. In the states I have a nice heated garage. I cover her up when I leave for extended periods or time and cringe when I finally uncover her. But, I hate the cat prints if I don't cover the cycle.
Thanks, Dutch
1 - Maybe I should forget the cover and just "weather the storms" until I get a garage???
2 - I'd just shoot the damned cat! LOL!

Re: Car Covers : Opinions Please
Recently at the Houston Autorama I spotted an inflatable car cover that was inflated by a blower. It also had an option for heat and humidity control. Seemed a bit extreme to me.
I wouldn't use a vinyl tarp. I did that a few years ago. I put blankets under the tarp to protect the car. In the spring, there was all kinds of what looked like water marks all over the car. Took me all year to buff it out. Its like some substance came off the tarp and stained the paint.
Better to just wax it up good and leave it outside. At least that way nothing is going to mark it up.
The snow will melt.
302/Z28 -- That's better than a cover ... but probably costs a bundle and, I imagine, is a real pain in the butt to blow up and deflate!
poncho62 -- THAT'S the problem that occurs with any waterproof cover, according to the cover-makers, and that's why NO ONE makes waterproof covers.
Oh well ... I think you're right -- a good coat of wax and let nature have it's way. Until I get a place with a garage!

Alan, The inflatable capsules are for mostly antique collector vehicles or someone with more money than the hotrod need to drive the thing. They are also for indoor storage and not outdoor protection.
Have you ever thought of building a lean to pole barn out of either wood or steel pipe and cover it with a few sheets of steel barn roofing you can get at lows or home depot for a few bucks a sheet? You can make a pole cabin for under $150 and it can be diassembled. You can even run some heating elements on/underneith the top set up to a timer run by an extension cord or a small solor panel to keep off the excess snow. It would keep most of the elements off your ride, all if you decide to toss on some sides. We built one for the race trailor and a buddy's truck with room for his bike. When I get some time I'll sendja an e-mail!
If you cover a car with anything, it has to breath, and let the moisture, and condensation out. Other wise it will make big splotches of discoloration, that might buff out and might not.
I've seen lots of paint jobs ruined covered with plastic.
A lot of places have 20x12 portable sheet metal carports for less than $350.00.

Here are some cool shelters for your truck, not that expensive either.
Right way Jag.
Cheap pvc, old fashion aframe tent. You can dirive in until you get garage. PVC about $10. HomeDepot a tent $40. $50 to have the truck polished (in your dreams). I would go with Jag's idea.
If this might help any www.calcarcover.com
I paid a ton for a cover for my Corvette thinking is would help keep it clean. Dust collects under the cover then as the wind blows and the cover moves and scratches the paint. I had small scratches all over the car and it pissed me off big time.
As said before you do not want a water proof car cover because it will hold moisture on the paint and cause clouding, same as a bra.
Thanks for all the input, my friends!
HalloweenKing -- Thanks, bro'. If I had my own place, I'd do just that, but I'm renting right now, so I don't have the luxury of doing what I want.
Jag Daddy -- THANKS! I was talking to a pal at the pizza shop this afternoon and he has a "tent" for his 'Vette ... I was gonna research them on the web tonight, but you saved me the trouble!
I'm gonna print out a pic and show it to my landlord ... see if he'll agree to let me put one up in my parking space (I rent the upstairs of a brick house and my landlord lives downstairs). These look like the best solution for now.

Cum while sucking dick
. The oil was warming in a bowl of hot water. I was especially proud of the oil. I had blended it myself - vitamin E oil in which I had steeped vanilla beans and added an eyedropper of ylang-ylang. The two foam mats were laid side by side on the floor, making a double bed, and the sheet was spread over them.
The room was my studio, wooden floors, stained glass windows and a bookshelf containing Japanese pillow books and a small stereo. There were Persian Prints on the wall.
All was ready.
The doorbell rang.
Gathering my robe around me, I went to the front door
It was Carrie, long black hair across her shoulders. Her smile when she saw me was quick and her eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Am I early?" she asked.
Nah, " I replied. "I've just finished setting the space up. Come on in." I opened the door wide and she passed me into the hallway, her perfume just noticeable beneath the sense of fresh air that she brought with her through the entrance.
Same place?
Yup. Just go on through." I said.
She walked down the hall and into the studio. As she reached the door she glanced back over her shoulder with a little grin.
I've been waiting for this all week." she said and her grin became wider.
I followed her into the room and closed the door
I went to the stereo and put my favourite sensual CD on the player, Ancient Egypt by Ali Jihad Racy. It had originally been commissioned for the King Tut Exhibition and is gentle and ethereal, allowing one to drift.
Carrie began to undress. Of all the beautiful sights in the world, a woman undressing is the most magnificent. Each time is like the very first.
She pulled her T-shirt over her head, tossing it to the floor. She wore no bra - she needed none
Her breasts were high, yet full, and she carried them with comfort. Each brown nipple stood erect, as if the air was cool.
She sat on a chair and pulled off her jeans. She wore simple cotton panties, which, standing, she removed, one leg at a time. Her black pubic bush was thick and large and seldom trimmed. It started several inches below her navel and almost reached her hips at the top corners before narrowing over her pubic mound, shielding her pussy beneath its tangled thicket.
She lay on her stomach on the mats and waited quietly.
I removed my robe. I was naked and my cock was half-tumescent in anticipation of what lay ahead.
I walked over to the table and picked up the now warm bottle of massage oil. Sitting on the mat beside Carrie, I began to drizzle just a little on to her dancer's back, soft and supple, but muscular and strong.
Placing the bottle on the floor, I began to work the oil into her back. The nice thing about vitamin E oil is that if you use too much, the excess is absorbed into the skin, leaving a film smooth enough to avoid snags and yet fine enough to allow skin on skin friction, creating warmth.
I began at the back of Carrie's neck
Her hair was spread in front of her leaving the nape exposed. Gently, I worked at the cords of muscle on either side and into the little canyon at the base of the skull. This was not the time for real neck work, however, and I moved to her shoulders and mid back. The oil began to emit its warm fragrance.
Oooomph!" she sighed. "I'm really tense there.
As I worked down her back along the paravertebrals, I mixed the vertical strokes with long diagonals from her ribcage and the sides of her breasts. She began to settle in and my hands felt the release of tension. She was beginning to drift on the music, the warmth, the touch as I worked slowly down to her sacral dimples.
I moved back to her shoulders and mid back, using my forearms to lengthen the stroke and cover a larger area
It is necessary to me to ensure that the parts of the body feel part of the whole. Our social mores and clothing seem to divide the body into "nice" bits and "naughty" bits. To me they are all divine and must be treated as such.
I reached again for the oil. Pouring some into my hand, I replaced the bottle on the floor and began to anoint Carrie's classically beautiful bottom, firm but with a delicate softness that invited touch. I gently parted her cheeks and let just a drop or two land on her anus. Her legs parted slightly, revealing just a bit of her pussy in the furze of her pubic hair.
I parted her legs a bit further and she moved easily
She had been here before. I settled myself between her legs and began to massage the oil into her buttocks, one cheek at a time, with smooth, firm strokes. I leaned forward into the strokes so that was almost as if I were embracing them. I separated them with my hands as I worked and allowed my fingertips to just brush her anus without quite penetrating the winkled pink/brown orifice.
Carrie's breathing changed, becoming slower and deeper, yet at the same time I sensed the beginnings of her arousal. I became fully erect and allowed my tip of my cock to just graze the crack of her ass as I worked. The ylang-ylang became more pronounced in response to her body heat.
It was time to move to the backs of her thighs. I spread more oil and began to work it into her skin, especially at the point where the inner tendons met her pussy
I did not touch it directly though. In massage, the more a part of
cum while sucking dick
the body is ignored, the more it craves to be touched. I let the tension build.
I then "reconnected" Carrie's thighs to her bottom using long strokes, and allowed my fingertips to again brush her anus. With feather touch I just glanced off the perineum in passing and returned to the backs of her legs.
The ylang-ylang began to blend with Carrie's own scent and my breathing became unsteady as I responded viscerally to the intoxicating mix of odours. I paused to regain control before I moved on
My glans had sprouted a tiny drop of anticipation and Ancient Egypt floated effortlessly through the airy stained glass-tinted sun as it flowed across Carrie's lovely naked body.
There are major nerve centres just above the backs of the knees and I spent a little time opening them up, careful to ensure that all was "connected" before I moved on, taking care to just touch the perineum lightly again.
Carrie has a dancer's long legs as well as the back, and her calf muscles were firm as I kneaded the tension out of them, taking care never to pinch or push. My technique is gentleness.
To massage her feet I moved down, still kneeling between her legs with a full view of her pussy peeking out from between the dark forest of hair. The lips were slightly parted. I lifted one foot, bending the leg at the knee and worked gently at it. She was relaxed because the knee was supported by the mat. She held no resistance. I rested her shin against my chest and worked gently, separating each toe and then moved to the ankle, bending it almost to the limit of its range of motion
I repeated this with the other foot.
Again I joined the parts, stroking, warming her, and inhaled deeply her heady mix of perfumes. My cock stirred and Ali Jihad Racy played on. Carrie's breathing was deep and slow.
I rested for several minutes with one hand resting on her leg, and allowed us both to settle. My cock began to subside but we both knew that this was merely intermission.
Ready to turn over?" I asked, somewhat huskily, but very much under
cum while sucking dick
control I thought.
Carrie gave a muffled grunt in response and rolled over, exposing her lovely breasts and lushly thatched pubic mound. Was that a tiny pearl of moisture between her legs glistening in the sunlight? My breathing quickened and my cock gave a randy little twitch but laid low for the time being.
I began by again drizzling oil over her breasts and stomach with its deep longitudinal navel. An Arab friend of mine once said, "Only men have flat stomachs. A woman's should fit into the curve of the palm of your hand." Carrie's was perfect
She had the well-toned definition from the ribs and down her sides, leaving a sweet roundness in the centre. The abdomen then buried itself under her luxuriant pubis between her thighs.
I moved around to the head of the mats and knelt above Carrie's head. Her eyes were closed and she could not see that my cock was on the verge of standing out over her composed face.
I reached underneath her head and began to knead properly her neck muscles, using the weight of her head to apply just the right amount of pressure. I then stroked her throat, her cheeks and lips, bending close to hear the measured sound of her breathing. I nuzzled her earlobes.
Her eyes opened and she gave a sly smile and reaching up, touched my barely controlled cock, which gave up the fight and sprang warmly to attention. "Naughty, naughty." She smiled and closed her eyes.
I returned to her side and began slow spiral strokes over her stomach, breasts and pubic mound
I let each nipple slide between my thumb and forefinger. When they reached the joint at my palm I applied just a smidgeon of pressure. Carrie inhaled sharply. Was that a tremor in her thighs?
I moved my ministrations to her verdant mound and poured oil more heavily. The patch was thick and would need much oil to penetrate it.
Carrie's legs were open and I could see her pink lips shining wetly between the strands of hair
I leaned over and gently nuzzled the top of the slit. I smelled the oil mixed with the darker, more ancient musk of aroused female, and my little amphibian brain, along with the larger primate one, could resist no longer. My tongue reached out and teased the top of her hooded clit.
S-s-s-s-s-t!" she hissed and opened her legs wider. I prodded her clit further with my tongue and felt it stir into action, rising to meet my touch. I began to suck on it as if it were a cock and Carrie began to moan softly, almost humming.
I probed lower into her pussy, using long licks from the clit down through the cleft into the deeper reaches of her. She grabbed my head and pulled me harder to her, grinding her pussy frantically against my mouth and teeth. "Oh God yes!" she groaned
teen bitch girls sex
"That's it! That's it!
I raised my head and dripping beard from her crotch and said, "Turn over.
She did, exposing her lovely ass and pussy to me. I leaned forward and began probing the crack of her ass with my tongue. I heard wordless cries as Carrie raised herself fully to me. Gingerly, I inserted my tongue into her tight little orifice as she began to bounce up and down on the mats.
I slid lower into her pussy and used my tongue like a cock, going as deeply as I possibly could into her body. Inarticulate grunts were my reward.
Finally, Carrie could stand no more
She rolled suddenly on to her back and pulled my face once again into her very wet, greedy pussy. "Eat me dammit!" she ordered desperately.
I began again licking her now prominent clit, moving the hood from around it with the tip of my tongue. She was beyond the power of speech, emitting only feral grunts. At same time I reached around and delicately began to insert my finger into her moistened anus. She thrashed. Slowly I worked it in until I felt the sphincter relax and I slowly pushed to the second knuckle. I felt her
cum while sucking dick
contractions begin
As they mounted, I ever so slowly began to withdraw my finger in time to the contractions.
Oh God! Don't stop! Don't stop! I'm coming!" Carrie groaned. Her orgasm built stage upon stage and with my free hand I could feel the tension and beginning tremors in her abdomen. At the very pinnacle of her pleasure, I suddenly pulled my finger from her ass and gave three fast sucks on her clit. Her orgasm broke in waves of intense spasming and my mouth on her pussy rode the waves with fiendish glee, never releasing her clit until her animal groans melted into the silence of the afternoon.
Whoosh!" Carried panted at my drenched face. "That was terrific! I'm totally wasted, too wasted to do you.
That's okay." I smiled
"Besides, I enjoy your orgasms almost as much as you.
We lay together in the stained glass light while Ali Jihad Racy played quietly, two happy primates suffused in a sexual glow. The scent of superb sex suffused the air as the afternoon began its slow drowse towards evening.
What time is it?" Carrie asked sleepily.
I don't know. Maybe 4:30." I replied.
Shit! I'm late!" she said, "I've got to get home and make dinner.
She rose unsteadily from our oil-dampened sheet and headed for the bathroom, bundling her clothes as she went. I heard the shower running as I lay there, bathed in her glow and wonderful juices.
When she emerged ten minutes later, Carrie's hair was brushed and glossy and you couldn't tell that not half an hour earlier she'd been a woman in glorious rut driven by the demands of her mindless furrow. She gave me a lingering kiss and asked, "Same time next week?
I'll be here." I said.
With that she was out the door and back to her regular life, back to her husband and children in the Valley.
Ass licking simony diamond
. Chapter One:
Scott!" Maxine brushed her long, wavy blonde hair out of her eyes and glowered angrily at her son's bedroom door.
Scott, I know what you're doing in there! I am absolutely sick of listening to you jacking off in your room every day! Scott, are you listening?" Her teenage son didn't answer. The rhythmic thumping continued louder than ever, the sound of the headboard banging against the wall as Scott eagerly beat his prick, flailing his fist up and down his stiff, aching cock.
Scott!" Maxine swore and rapped angrily on the door. She was thirty-four and gorgeous, with wide blue eyes complementing her blonde hair, and a slim, stacked with big tits body "Scott, pay attention to me!
Scott groaned, and then the headboard started thumping against the wall even more quickly. He was probably on the verge of spraying a big load of cum all over his chest. Maxine turned from the door, blushing fiercely as she retreated down the hall
She was dressed casually, in jeans and a blue work shirt that gave her large, braless tits plenty of room to jiggle and bounce. It was the sort of outfit that any normal housewife would have worn around the home, but she didn't feel normal.
For one thing, she was divorced now. The house and her modest monthly alimony checks were all she had to remember her long marriage to her husband. For another thing, she had a handsome young son who was obsessed with jacking off.
It had started six months after the divorce. Scott was an unusually handsome young lad of eighteen, tall and muscular, with a bulging crotch that Maxine, in spite of her embarrassment, had been unable not to notice. Maxine had read that the sex drive of growing boys can be very strong, but that hadn't prepared her for the fact that Scott's cock seemed to be stiff and bulging most of the time.
She supposed her appearance had something to do with it. Maxine was slimmer than average, with long legs and a cute, girlishly round ass. But her tits were so big that most of her bras had to be custom-made
Her body had always made men horny, and Maxine was afraid that her only child was no exception. She had been mortified to see his cock swelling many times in the past six months, when she caught him ogling her figure.
At least he could try to restrain himself, Maxine thought. Or at least be quiet about wanting to play with himself so much. It was three-thirty in the afternoon now, and Scott had been home for a half hour. He'd literally run upstairs as soon as he'd walked through the door with an obscene-looking bulge tenting through his slacks.
Two minutes later, the thumping had started
She heard it at least four times a day now. She'd tried to talk to him about it, both gently and sternly, but he just wouldn't listen. All he said was that he couldn't keep from rubbing his big prick as soon as it started to get stiff.
Well, he was just going to have to learn to ignore it, Maxine thought suddenly. Impulsively she went to the hall closet, finding the key to Scott's bedroom door hanging on a nail. Determinedly she went back to his room, knowing full well that she was about to catch her boy in the act. It wasn't normal for a lad to play with himself so much. Scott simply had to learn to control his sexual desires.
Maxine let herself into his room
It took Scott a moment to notice that she'd come in. As she'd expected, he was lying on his back with his pants around his ankles. A jar of baby oil stood prominently on the nightstand beside his bed. The youth's tongue led obscenely out of the corner of his mouth as he worked his fist feverishly on his crotch, whipping his hand up and down his throbbing, straining cock. Maxine looked at it. It was the first time she'd ever seen her son's naked, stiff prick; in spite of herself, she couldn't help being curious
She'd imagined that he'd have a relatively small prick, even though he was almost full-grown. Maxine instantly saw that she was wrong. Scott's prick was huge. Stiffly the long, fat cock meat shaft rose out of his cock curls, at least nine inches long and as thick around as her wrist. The cock knob was as big as a small apple, bloated deep red and glistening with oozing cock cream. Instantly the divorce, sexually-frustrated mother felt a shameful new craving throbbing in her cunt
She had never imagined that seeing her own son's stiff prick would make her pussy feel so wet and hot.
All right, Scott. Stop it right now!
Scott raised his head and finally saw that his mother was with him in the room. He sighed, releasing his big cock and folding his hands behind his head. He made no effort to cover his fuck organ, and the giant cock shaft continued to buck and pulse over his stomach. Maxine sat beside her teen on the bed, trying not to stare at his cock
She felt her nipples stiffening and poking through the work shirt. She wished she'd worn a bra to prevent her enormous tits from jiggling in front of her son. "Since when did you start barging in on me when my door is locked?" Scott grumbled. "Can't I even have some privacy?
You know perfectly well I was knocking a moment ago. I think that's sufficient justification for using the key.
Scott, you know this is something we need to talk about
All you ever do these days is jerk off. It's not normal. You're not going to develop normally if you spend all your time rubbing your cock and making it come.
I can't help it," Scott grinned. "My cock gets hard, and I feel like rubbing it. What's wrong with that?
Don't you know any young girls who could..." Maxine blushed, stopping short of telling her son to find a
horny girl to fuck. "... Who could help you think more about normal things?
You mean like fucking?" Scott's grin broadened
"Shit, Mom, I fuck a lot of girls. If you want, I can bring one
home tomorrow and fuck her right here. I just like rubbing my prick a lot. It feels good.
You... you could at least pull up your pants when your own mother is talking to you. This is very embarrassing.
Well, you're the one who wanted to talk, Mom besides you're not my real mother
I don't want to stop jacking off
now. I've had a big load in my nuts all day. I need to cum bad!
And then the hung son shocked his mother again, sliding his hand down to again tightly grip his giant
prick. The astonished mother couldn't help staring at his tremendous cock as he started beating his meat again, slowly and very hard, groaning as he moved his fist up and down the oversized length of his cock.
Scott! Scott, for God's sake!" Maxine gasped at him, overwhelmed with both anger and an irresistible, incestuous lust. "How..
how dare you do that in front of your mother? You take your hand off your prick this
I don't want to, Mom. It feels good.
And then Scott stared openly at her tits, sighing as he watched the huge, spongy tits swaying slightly under her
Man, you sure have a pair of big ones, Mom. Sometimes I like to think about sucking them when I jerk off. It's
even better looking at them at the same time.
Maxine was so shocked that she knew she had to make her boy stop beating his cock that instant. She dropped
her hand, intending to pull his finger off of his prick. But Scott withdrew his hand at the same time. The next
thing Maxine knew, her hand was filled with the hot stiffness of Scott's prick.
Um, that feels good, Mom! Why don't you rub it for me?
You little bastard!
And then Maxine started doing it. She didn't know what had come over her, what had prompted her to begin the
worst possible sin with her son
Her pussy was very wet, throbbing so horny in her panties that she
could hardly think straight. She felt overwhelmed by anger, frustration and a wanton, uncontrollable lust.
Scott just lay there, smiling as he submitted to his sex-starved mother's hand job. Maxine stared openly at his
huge prick now, grimacing as she whipped her right hand up and down the cock stalk as fast as she could.
Does this feel good? Is this what you want me to do to you, Scott your very own mother? Are you really so disgusting that you wants your own Mommy to jack on your cock like this? Do you want Mommy to suck it too?
You'd like that, wouldn't you? You'd like your own mother to put your prick in her mouth and swallow your hot
Scott responded by pushing her hand away, swinging around to sit up on the edge of the bed. He looked at his
mother pointedly, then grinned, snapped his fingers, and pointed arrogantly at his aching cock.
Yeah, that's what I want, all right. Why don't you get on your knees right now, Mom? My cock needs a good
sucking right away!
You filthy, shameful, little boy ---
And then her words trailed off as she did what her son requested, dropping to her knees in front of him
and confronting the huge, aching length of his prick. Maxine realized that she was breathing very hard, and that she
could feel her heartbeat in her pussy better even than she could feel it in her chest.
She felt as if she'd lost all control of herself, as if it were no longer possible to distinguish between what she was
really doing now and what she might have dreamed about
She couldn't believe that she was actually going to
shove her own son's cock down her throat and swallow his spewing cum.
Maxine wrapped her fingers tightly around his throbbing cock, sliding her fist to the root. She stared intently at the
rosy, puffy cock knob for several seconds, seeing how the whole fat crown glistened with sticky spunk. The wanton mother lowered her head, pressing her lips to his piss hole. Shamefully she thrust out her tongue, eagerly
licking the tasty cock juice from the tingling tip of his prick.
Ugh! That feels good, Mom!" Scott writhed on the edge of the bed, holding her head with both hands. "Put it
in your mouth, Mom! Suck it! You know you want to
Ugh, suck it good!
Maxine shut her eyes, trying to block out the knowledge that she was now the kind of mother who gave blow jobs
to her very own son. Gradually she let her lips slide onto his pulsing fuck organ, slurping in inch after inch
of his giant, throbbing cock. She stopped when she'd inhaled over a third of it, when she would have choked
herself if she'd tried to swallow any more of his cock meat.
Then the horny mother started sucking the prick extremely hard, keeping her eyes closed as she nursed
contentedly on the aching stiffness of his hard-on. An absurd voice in the back of her mind still tried to justify
what she was doing. She was showing him how awful he'd feel if he let his own mother suck his prick.
Maxine sucked the tasty cock harder and harder, shocking herself with her eagerness to mouth and slurps her
son's prick. She forced her face closer to his hairy crotch base, gagging herself, dying to swallow all of
his cock meat in one swallow. The huge prick responded to her hard, wet sucking by growing even bigger and
stiffer. The cock knob puffed up obscenely, pulsating on the roof of her gullet.
Umlp," Maxine gurgled.
Her lewd, slurping sounds of cock sucking contentment had become very loud too, filling up the bedroom.
Feverishly she started bobbing her head up and down, fucking her mouth with her boy's big prick
Her fingers
tightened on the root of his cock. Then she furiously started jacking his prick as she sucked the tip, swirling and
basting her tongue around the mushroom-shaped crown, lapping up the salty spunk as it dribbled out of his
enormous, aching prick.
Mom, I'm gonna cum soon!" Scott groaned. "Ugh! I can feel it, Mom! It's really going to be a big one! Oh, suck
it, suck me hard! You're such a fantastic cocksucker!
The shocking, disgusting compliment was music to her ears. Maxine felt her face redden as she started sucking
cock as hard as she could, rapidly puckering and bellowing her cheeks around the cum-laden stiffness of his cock.
Her fist was a blur, whacking up and down his hard-on. She was desperate to nurse a heavy, spurting load out of
his cock, to be forced to swallow as fast as she could to gulp down all of her son's cum.
Swallow it all, Mom! Cumming, cumming!
He clutched her head, thrusting his hips off the bed, fucking his cock shaft another inch between her lips. Maxine
started to gag, but then, at last, her horny cock sucking efforts were finally rewarded. A tremendous shower of
spunk blasted out of his swollen cockhead, squirting and splattering down his cum- loving mother's throat.
Umlp!" Maxine gurgled.
The cock juice was spewing into her mouth, squirting on her tonsils and running down her throat
Feverishly she
clung to the enormous, cream-shooting cock, loving the taste of her young son's seed. Shamefully, the
horny mother started sucking, jacking and swallowing all at the same time, not wanting to release her boy's prick
until she'd sucked every droplet of salty cream from the crown of his cock meat.
After nearly a half-minute, the cum-explosion was over, and the stacked blonde mother had her belly full of cock
juice she'd secretly craved. She raised her head from her son's crotch, dazed and desperately horny, running her tongue around her mouth to lick up the cream. Maxine was breathing hard, and her pussy was so wet
that it had completely soaked her panty crotch band.
Scott's prick was still very hard, and throbbing in front of her face. Maxine's pussy spasm as she suddenly
imagined the huge, fat pussy-pleaser plowing into her hairy cunt slit, ramming deeply in and out her cunt.
Well. I hope you're satisfied, Scott," she panted. "You actually got Mommy to suck your big prick for you
suppose now you want to do other dirty things with Mommy too.
Scott grinned, nodding. Maxine rose to her feet, fumbling with her shirt buttons, unable to stop staring at her
child's enormous cock.
Then I think you'd better take off the rest of your clothes, Scott. Now that we've begun, we'd better get these
disgusting desires out of your system once and for all.
Scott grinned again, kicking off his shoes and sliding his pants off the rest of the way. All he had on now was his
shirt, and he didn't need to take that off to give his mom the hard fucking she obviously needed. He sat up, watching her strip. Maxine felt a flush of pride as she shrugged the shirt off, revealing her enormous tits.
You like Mommy's big tits, don't you, Scott?" she asked. Maxine ran her hands up her slim waist, cupping
raven and big cock
giant, spongy tits and kneading them lasciviously
The nipples capping the creamy double D-cuppers were very
wide and red, with stiff, protuberant tips. Maxine kicked off her shoes and undid her jeans. Then, naked except for
her panties, she joined her son on the bed.
You can go ahead and suck Mommy's tits now, Scott. I suppose you've been thinking about that when you
jack off too.
Scott just nodded. He knelt beside his mother, filing his hands with her gigantic, firm tits. Hungrily he kneaded
and squeezed the tremendous tits, rolling them, and fanning his thumbs across the nipples
Maxine shuddered as
the pleasure of the tit massage went straight into her cunt.
You... you can suck them if you like," she panted.
Scott sprawled on top of her, opening his mouth wide to engulf one straining nipple. Feverishly he started
slurping on his mother's enormous tit, sucking and puckering his cheek, just as he'd once nursed milk out of her
tits as a suckling baby. Maxine whimpered, the need in her pussy growing stronger by the second. She tenderly
cradled her loving son's head, encouraging him to suck Mommy's tits as much as he liked.
You... you can touch my pussy now," she whispered. "I suppose you want to do that too.
Scott slid his hand down, moving it between her thighs to press his finger against her pussy
Then he stopped
tit-sucking and looked triumphantly into her eyes.
Man, Mom! Your cunt's really dripping!
Maxine blushed. She'd known her pussy was wet, but she didn't know it was so wet that even her inner thighs
were slick with her oozing pussy oils. Scott seemed fascinated by his mom's hot, creamy pussy. He grasped her
panties and pulled them off, and the panty crotch stuck to her wet, throbbing cunt. Now his stacked, sexy
mother was completely naked
Scott spread her thighs apart, staring at the wet, throbbing pussy that had
birthed him so many years before.
What are you looking at me like that for, Scott?" Maxine panted. "Why don't you just go ahead and ram you big
prick into me right now? I know that's what you want to do, even if I am your mother.
Wanna lick it first," Scott mumbled.
And then he sprawled between her long legs, pushing up her thighs to give his mouth better access to her
throbbing, tasty cunt slit. It took the naked mother a minute to even understand that her son wanted to
suck her pussy. Then she shuddered, biting her lip as she felt the first pressure of his tongue sluicing tentatively
between the fragrant folds of her cunt.
Ugh! Oh, Scott! What... what are you doing that for, Scott? Ugh! Ungh!
Scott was too busy licking to reply
He obviously loved the taste of his mother's pussy, loved the way it felt to
move his tongue busily up and down her pink, juice-glistening cunt. Maxine instantly felt afraid of how she might
act now. She'd been horny enough before Scott went down on her. She didn't know how outlandishly she might
behave if he made her already aching cunt even wetter and itchier with his tongue.
No, Scott! You... ugh..
you don't have to lick Mommy's pussy! Ungh! Just fuck your mother, Scott. I now
that's what you want!
Scott didn't answer. He held his mother's pussy lips open with his fingers, allowing him to thrust his tongue
deeper into her wet, fragrant hole. The fuck cream kept running out of her cunt depths, and her clit was very fat
and swollen, protruding at the top of her fur-fringed cunt slit.
Scott moved his tongue higher, proving his skill as a pussy licker as he began swabbing his mom's clit from side
to side. His naked mother squealed, clutching his head with both hands. Then she urgently started thrusting and
fucking her hips off the bed, urgently fucking her wet pussy onto his face.
Yes, Scott," she cried hoarsely. "Ugh! Mommy needs sucking now! Mommy needs sucking bad! Ugh!
Lick Mommy's clitt, Scott! Oh, suck it, suck it good, and make your mother cum!
Scott kept licking and kissing, pausing to rub his face on the dense, platinum colored curls that covered her
lower belly in a rich moss. Now he straightened his fingers, pushing them into the narrow, clinging interior of his
mother's pussy channel
Maxine shuddered as her son started jacking off her throbbing cunt, licking
directly on her clit at the same time.
Suck it, Scott! Oh, please!
Scott took her clit
ass licking simony diamond
between his lips. He sucked it gently but forcefully, slurping on it, at the same time pumping
his fingers rapidly in and out of her cunt. Maxine felt the cum welling up deep inside of her, making her nipples and
asshole tingle as the pre-orgasmic sensations violently pleasured her whole body. Then she was cumming, cumming uncontrollably, while her very own son sucked her cunt.
Eat it, Scott! Ungh! Lick it, lick your mother! Cumming, cumming!
Her throbbing pussy spasm and spewed, giving her child a mouthful of pussy juice to lick and suck up. Scott
kept sucking her clit and jacking her off, guiding her through the peak of her orgasm. It was nearly a minute before
the spasms subsided
By then, Maxine had an aching need deep, deep inside her pussy that she'd never felt before.
She desperately need to feel her son's fat, meaty prick pounding into her cunt as fast as he could shove it in.
You... you can fuck your mother no, Scott. I know that's what you really want. Go ahead, Scott. Shove it in. Hurry!
Scott mounted his naked mother, crawling up between her thighs with his giant, dripping cock pulsing over his
Impatiently Maxine reached down, grasping the cock shaft and directing the cock knob to her pussy. She
whimpered and bit her lip as she felt the meaty prick boring into her and stretching her pouty pussy lips to bursting around the invading thickness of his cock.
Ungh! Oh, you've really got a fat one, Scott! I've had a lot of cocks, dear, and yours is the fattest! Ungh!
You're really going to have to stuff it in, aren't you? Go ahead. Ugh! Shove it up Mommy's pussy, honey. Hurry, hurry!
Scott spread his knees apart, to put his hips in the best position to hammer in his cock. Then he started
stroking, in and out, fucking his organ deeper into his mother with every stroke
Maxine raised her head, looking down, watching the veined cock shaft gushing in and out of her clinging pussy. The sight was violently exciting.
She started humping and wiggling her round little ass, thrusting her throbbing pussy onto Scott's huge cock.
You... you can fuck me deeper, Scott," she panted. "Go ahead, Scott. Fuck Mommy's tight cunt just as deep as you can!
Scott started stroking harder, making his mother grimace and shudder as he really started nailing his immense
cock into her clinging, throbbing pussy. At last it was all the way inside her, buried to the balls in her cunt. Maxine
had never felt so stuffed with hard cock in her life
Her pussy was sucking and spasm uncontrollably now, constantly nursing around the huge, belly- probing stiffness of his cock. Scott lay motionless on top of her for
several seconds. He let his elbow bend, crushing her huge tits under his descending chest.
Fuck your mother, Scott!
The intensity of her incestuous desire becoming more apparent, Maxine cocked her legs as high as she could and
locked her calves together across his back. Then she started wiggling and humping like a bitch in heat, frantically
fucking her tight, wet pussy onto her own son's cock.
I said fuck me, Scott! Mommy's awfully horny now! Fuck me, fuck me good!
Scott pulled out, withdrawing until only the crown of his bloated; dripping hard-on distended his mother's pussy
lips. He shuddered as
ass licking simony diamond
he came down hard again, again spearing every inch of his giant fuck organ into her pussy.
By then Maxine was humping like a sex-starved machine, her huge tit mounds bouncing and quivering as she
piston her pussy onto her son's prick. Scott met his mother's rhythm, slamming his cock deeply into
her buttery, sucking cunt.
That's right, Scott! Ugh! Oh, shit, do it harder, fuck Mommy's cunt as hard as you can! I like it hard and
dirty, Honey!" Maxine wrapped
ass licking simony diamond
her arms around his shoulders, hugging him tight, gasping and squealing as her
pussy spasm uncontrollably around his big cock
"Fuck me, Scott! Fuck me, you perverted child!
Scott panted on her shoulder, and then he started fucking his mother as hard as he could. Relentlessly he
worked his hips between her thighs, grunting as he rammed his giant, arrow-like prick into the gooey depths of
her sucking pussy. Already the horny mother could feel the second series of spasms welling up in her loins, making her ravished, cock-filled fuck hole suck even tighter around Scott's prick.
Mommy's cumming again, honey! Fuck your mother, fuck your horny mother! Ungh! Cumming, Scott! I'm
Her pussy burst lusciously into orgasm, oozing out fuck cream, the narrow pink walls gripping and contracting
around her son's tremendously huge cock. Scott collapsed on top of her, ramming his cock in to the
hilt. Then the second load of cum cream gushed out of his prick. Maxine felt it spraying and spewing, erupting deep
inside her pussy, deluging her womb with a hot, soothing load of jizz.
Horny she flexed her fucking muscles around the erupting cock shaft, helping her child drain the reservoir in his
balls completely in her pussy. But she could already feel her guilt, shame and disgust returning now that she'd
succumbed to the craving to give her pussy to her own son
This would be the first time, she thought, and also the last. She simply couldn't live with herself if she continued to relieve her own son's cock
every time it got achy and stiff.

Old black tits
. When I was in high school, I was constantly horny. Once at a party with my friends, we decided to play a couple of prank calls on people we knew. One of the people we ended up calling was the younger sister (only 15) of one of our friends who hadn't shown up at the party. We had attempted to prank call
blowjob sasha
our friend first, but after he didn't pick up his cell, we decided to call his hot younger sister, Michelle.
Using famous actor soundboards, we asked Michelle during a conversation to whether she liked to suck cocks. Michelle, who obviously had a friend in the background who egged her on, told us she was a cock sucker and proud of it. She even said
old black tits
that if we came to her house right now, she would suck our dicks. Michelle was a fairly attractive girl, not a bombshell, but she had a decent body
She had never had a boyfriend though since she tried to focus on school and she obviously had needs which had not been met.
About five minutes after the call, I made some excuse to leave the party. I drove as fast as I could to Michelle's house. I rang the doorbell. She opened the door and I walked in. She was a little suprised, but greeted me as usual
I then told her that she had promised me something. Michelle smiled.
She then unzipped my pants, pulled them down along with my boxers to reveal my erect 7 inch penis. She was more than pleased as she fit the majority of my cock into her mouth. The feeling was beyond pleasurable. Within a couple of minutes, I cummed in her mouth and she swallowed every last drop. I thought I was going to pass out. Then I saw her good friend (whose name I do not know) watching us. The friend had started to finger herself and I smiled, knowing that taking two girls virginities was going to be amazing
I called and the friend over and once she reached me, we shared a long passionate kiss. Michelle was still on her knees and she began to take off her friend's pants as well. I helped both girls with their clothes off and within a few minutes we had relocated to the master bedroom completely nude. Being as horny as she was, Michelle insisted to videotaping the entire affair, which aroused me even more.
After receiving a blow job from Michelle's friend, who swallowed all the cum as well. I began to finger the one while i ate the other's pussy. Both girls exploded pretty quickly, but it only made the sex even better. Finally, Michelle
old black tits
asked me to fuck her
I smiled, told her to turn around into a doggy style position. I then fucked the shit out of her and I even cummed into her virgin pussy with a condom on. Michelle's friend wasn't completely comfortable with the fact of losing her virginity at that moment, so I didn't push the matter.
The three of us got into the shower to clean up. The steaming hot water started to get the mood going again and this time, nothing stood in my way of fucking Michelle's friend. She screamed with joy as I cummed in her pussy as well. After the shower, the three of us got into bed and turned on some On-Demand sex show and got even hornier
old black tits
I fucked Michelle's friend once more and Michelle 3 more times. As I left Michelle's house, I thought to myself that I definately had to stop by again.

. Please rate and give feedback. It turns me on to know others share the taboo. I am not really interested in people that just are haters for the sake of hating, so they get ignored, but feedback is good.
This is about a time in my awkward early pubescent years. I was a walking hard on, as are most. I was the youngest of four kids, and my parents were not very involved in our lives during that decade
It was the late 60's and early 70's, the freedom of expression was every where and yet not talked about openly amongst the upper class that acted as if they were above it, but secretly were involved in it one way or the other.
For us, it was pretty common for my parents to have socials before or after the local college football games, and there was always lots of drinking. Also my parents traveled a lot and would leave us with random college kids
hard ass anal
or couples that would live with us for a week or so. My oldest sister, was always getting into trouble, bringing home different boyfriends, having parties when my parents were gone and we would either join the party or go off on our own. Needless to say, my mind was wide open and I had no supervision, but also was clueless what to do with all these strange desires, and secretive thoughts. I used to love to watch my sisters and her friends as they would get ready to go out, running around half naked, in and out of showers, getting dressed, talking as if I was invisible, and I spent many nights jerking off to the sounds and thoughts of these "older girls", but that is a whole different story.
We lived in a pretty big college town, nice neighborhood, and back then no one worried about kids getting abducted or molested. So when it came time for me to get "fitted" my first "suit" for my Aunt's upcoming wedding, I was told to go down to Andretti's Men's Clothing, and have Mr
Andretti fit me for the suit. As usually, I had no idea what I was doing, and my mother wasn't going to waste her time driving me there, so one Saturday afternoon, I walked the mile down the Pike, to see Mr Andretti. I was told it would not be busy at the store since most were either at the game or listening to it at home and he would be able to take care of me without having to wait.
It's really weird during game days as the whole town shuts down during game time. The streets are almost empty. So I wasn't surprised when I got to the store that no one was there, and I could hear the game playing on the radio behind the counter. I looked around as I walked in and the bell hanging on the door announced my arrival
Mr. Andretti came through the curtain that separated the showroom from the little office behind the counter. Holding his hands in the air and making some italian exclamation, I wasn't sure if he was glad to see me or not, but the smile on his face and the twinkle in his eyes, told me he was. He was a nice looking elderly man, with white hair, and dark olive
hard ass anal
toned skin. Strong features, with his prominent nose and dark eyes. He wore his suit casually and welcomed me with a warm embrace. I was young, and didn't think much of it as he held me close telling me how much he has looked forward to this day
He went on to say that my mother had called a few weeks ago and asked him to outfit me from head to toe.
As he let go of the embrace, he stared into my eyes, tousled my hair, and kneaded my shoulders and arms, looking me over as if he was sizing me up. His hands ran over my body as he appeared to be deciding what would be best for me. I went with the situation, being my first fitting, even though I was a little uncomfortable with any one giving me this much attention. No one, especially an older man, had ever given me any attention like this, and so when he began to ask me questions about my likes and dislikes, favorite colors, etc, I was taken back a bit. I found myself being drawn in by all this special attention
He stooped down to my eye level as he asked questions and would get right in my face as we talked. He smelled good with the faint hint of cologne and his peppermint chewing gum.
He instructed me to step into the dressing room and strip down to my underwear so that he could take accurate measurements. I didn't know better, so I did as he told and took off my jeans and tee shirt after removing my converse. I left on my white socks and tight white underwear, and told him I was ready. He instructed me to come out and stand in front of the mirror as he came back from locking the front door
He said something about we didn't want anyone walking in while I was undressed so I said OK. He pulled out his measuring tape and began measuring around my neck, my arms, across my shoulders, telling me what to do as he went and I obeyed. As he worked his way down my body, he ended up kneeling on both knees in front of me. He wrapped the tape around my waste and continued telling me what I fine young man I was growing to be. His face was about even with my chest, and as he wrapped his arms around me and he massaged my butt cheeks as if it was a common thing to do. Told me I was filling out nicely and that he would needed to fit my pants properly
As he massaged my butt I felt a stirring in my crotch and I was startled. I was scared he was going to see my cock stiffen so I started to squirm. He acted as if nothing was going on as he ran his hands around my waist, with his hands caressing my skin, he let one hand slide down my outer leg as he held the other at my waist, every time stopping to make a mental note of the measurement, he would say it out loud as if to lock it into memory. He read the tape and then moved to my inner thigh area telling me to spread my feet apart. One hand holding the tape at my heal and the other running up my inseam, touching every inch of my inner leg as he did.
His hand was moving closer and closer to my crotch as my cock stiffened and I mentally froze. Time seemed to freeze too
His hand reached my inner thigh as I looked straight ahead trying to act casual as my cock hardened and it was trying to force its way out of my underwear. His hand held to my inner thigh, his face moved around to read closely, placing his face within inches of my hard cock. He made a soft and gentle exclamation
hard ass anal
in another language and looked up at me as his hand gently found its way to cupping my balls through my underwear. Softly he kneaded them, dropping the tape, and with his free hand he began caressing my shaft through my underwear, pushing it up flat against my belly, causing it to protrude above the waist band. My head was spinning, as he pulled my underwear down, and he started stroking my naked shaft and balls. I stared straight ahead as if this was all part of the fitting
That is until he took my young hard cock into his mouth and then I knew, without a doubt that this was not supposed to happen and yet, whatever it was, I was loving it. He was talking to me in italian and it sounded like he was talking to his lover. He asked me if I was enjoying myself and all I could do was nod yes. He grinned and continued sucking and stroking, while his other hand was caressing my ass cheeks and as if he knew what I wanted, one of his large bony fingers slipped between my ass cheeks and started rubbing my tight little asshole. He paused for a second to lick that finger only to return it right back to my hole, preparing me for what was yet to come
His finger slowly invaded my hole, gently an inch at a time he started finger fucking my asshole while sucking my pubescent cock. It all felt so good and yet so wrong, but I didn't care. No one had ever shown me this kind of love and he knew what I wanted.
I was amazed at how good it all felt, never having e

Video: Barbour, Pawlenty on the Permitoreum
posted at 8:54 am on February 14, 2011 by Jazz Shaw
During CPAC this year I had the opportunity to speak with some of the potential 2012 presidential candidates on the subject of the Obama EPA's current permitoreum which has brought American off-shore oil exploration and drilling to a virtual standstill. Two of the respondents answered on video, presented for you here.
First up was former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty. During a wide ranging Q&A session with a handful of bloggers he weighed in on the subject.
Watch the video for the full tone and text of the response, but here are a few of the key excerpts.
The EPA in is current form is really mismanaged… needs to go through a radical transformation and reorganization.
We have to find ways to move this stuff forward. We have to stop telling the applicants "no" reflexively, let's try to find ways to get it done – to get it to "yes." If you look at the base load needs of the country, we need energy. I'm in favor of drilling in ANWR, I'm in favor of more offshore drilling. I'm in favor of trying to advance coal with the best technology we have. I'm in favor of more nuclear energy. We've got a game changing opportunity in the next five to ten years in the form of the massive, massive amount of natural gas we've found in the territorial reach of the United States.
While the answer wandered around a bit, I felt it struck the right tone and a willingness to move in a productive direction.
Later that same day I had the opportunity to interview Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour and put the same question to him. (Full video follows with some of the high points transcribed below.) It should come as no surprise that Barbour, as the chief executive of a Gulf Coast state with a vested interest in productivity, came off as being very well informed on the subject. He was also a bit more… shall we say, "forceful" in his opinions of the current EPA management.
What we need in America is more American energy, and the Obama policy is exactly the opposite.
I was in the Mediterranean Sea last week at a drilling rig off the coast of Israel. Half the people on there were Americans who were working in the Gulf of Mexico a year ago. As you say, the moratorium has turned into a permitoreum.
The energy policy of the Obama administration, very simply put, is this: increase the cost of energy so Americans will use less of it. They want that policy to drive up the cost of energy so there will be less pollution, and so that currently non-economical, very expensive fuel types will become economically viable. That's going to take eight or nine dollar per gallon gasoline…
This Obama energy policy is awful for our economy and terrible for American families who are going to be paying more for gas in their cars, more for their utility bills, and there will be far fewer jobs as our companies become less competitive.
The man doesn't pull any punches, I'll say that for him. He had plenty more to say on the subject of energy during his floor speech the following day which will be covered in a separate article.

Gaseous emissions from dinosaurs may have warmed prehistoric earth
Sauropod dinosaurs could in principle have produced enough of the greenhouse gas methane to warm the climate many millions of years ago, at a time when Earth was warm and wet. That's according to calculations reported in the May 8th issue of Current Biology, a Cell Press publication. The hulking sauropods, distinctive for their enormous size and unusually long necks, were widespread about 150 million years ago. As in cows, methane-producing microbes aided the sauropods' digestion by fermenting their plant food.
"A simple mathematical model suggests that the microbes living in sauropod dinosaurs may have produced enough methane to have an important effect on the Mesozoic climate," said Dave Wilkinson of Liverpool John Moores University. "Indeed, our calculations suggest that these dinosaurs could have produced more methane than all modern sources -- both natural and man-made -- put together."
Wilkinson and study coauthor Graeme Ruxton from the University of St Andrews were studying sauropod ecology when a question dawned on them: If modern cows produce enough methane gas to be of interest to climate scientists, what about sauropods? They teamed up with methane expert Euan Nisbet at the University of London to work out the numbers.
"Clearly, trying to estimate this for animals that are unlike anything living has to be a bit of an educated guess," Wilkinson said.
Animal physiologists have studied methane production from a range of modern animals to derive equations that predict methane production from animals of different sizes. It turns out that those calculations depend only on the total mass of the animals in question. A medium-sized sauropod weighed something like 20,000 kilograms, and sauropods lived in densities ranging from a few large adults to a few tens of individuals per square kilometer.
Wilkinson, Ruxton, and Nisbet therefore calculate global methane emissions from sauropods to have been 520 million tons (520 Tg) per year, comparable to total modern methane emissions. Before industry took off on modern Earth about 150 years ago, methane emissions were roughly 200 Tg per year. By comparison, modern ruminant animals, including cows, goats, giraffes, and others, produce methane emission of 50 to 100 Tg per year.
The study's conclusions not only show "just how strange and wonderful the workings of the planet are" but also serve as a useful reminder for the importance of microbes and methane for global climate, the researchers say.
Journal reference: Wilkinson et al.: "Could methane produced by sauropod dinosaurs have helped drive Mesozoic climate warmth?."

Announcement of Cloud & Accessibility Public Working Group Formation
The NIST Cloud Computing Program has stressed that the three major challenge areas for USG adoption for cloud computing are: security, portability & interoperability. The USG Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap lists 10 requirements and several Priority Action Plans that should be followed to fulfill the requirements. Requirement #7 states:
Defined unique government regulatory requirements and solutions
Ensuring that all citizens have equal access to information is a unique government regulatory requirement and accessibility is considered to be fundamental to the solution. Cloud computing solutions that address and highlight accessibility offer a path forward for an agency to fulfill its mission and requirements by providing a larger number of potential solutions that USG IT managers can use to be creative in the development of new services and solve their unique accessibility requirements. As work progresses in cloud computing, it is important to promote, incorporate and discuss applicable standards in accessibility for cloud computing services as a discipline for investigation.
NIST Cloud Computing Program announces formation of new Public Working Group on "Cloud and Accessibility." The first meeting will be held via telecon on June 4, 2013 from 11 am - 1 pm EDT. This PWG will address the topics facing cloud computing with respect to accessibility, standards and usage of common application categories. The PWG will align into sub-teams dedicated to the application categories. The application categories under investigation are:
- Enterprise collaboration Tools - email, calendaring, IM
- Resource/budget planning/management tools
- Customer relationship management (CRM)
- Web server / Content Management
- Identity Management
- Document Retrieval / Library Systems
Participation in the working groups is free and open to all interested parties. You may register for the NIST Cloud Computing Mailing List and Twiki (with Accessibility page) at: http://www.nist.gov/itl/cloud/workinggroups.cfm
