Missed Opportunities
I've concentrated on you for so long
Too long if you should ask me,
Now that I've discovered you're not worthy.
I sigh for a while 'coz of missed opportunities.
Life passed by me as I watched you
Kept my love a secret for you not to know,
But the longings have passed, the love is gone.
I cry to the world, why all the missed opportunities.
Why did I let go of all those other chances?
Some far better and lovelier than you,
Now I am angry of myself, still missing the times
To say I love you, oh the missed opportunities.
I don't deserve you for you don't deserve me.
You're not worthy and I'm not worthy.
Stick that to your mind, you're not for me.
Still there is the agony of all the missed opportunities.
The Fire's Gone
The fire's gone, it went away
Only to come another day,
Not today nor tomorrow
All these happenings give me much sorrow.
The fire's gone, it melted away
With all the joy of those sweet days.
They were blown away by the wind,
The aspect of life I don't understand.
The fire's gone, gone away
Dear Lord I don't know what to say.
A mere infatuation created by mere emotion,
The reaction of my being at that situation.
The fire's gone, it turned to rain,
The rain of sorrow and of pain.
The reason I must bear the sorrow,
For today until tomorrow.
Here I stand, a broken soul
Mind and body, flesh and bone
I have lived a life of unworth
Passed time by lying on dirt
Hure I stand, a broken man
Events have passed, all are damned
Damnation to my beating heart
Broken to pieces my aching heart
Never have I been so broken before
Never have I been so damned before
Life is hell when love is naught
Life is hell when youve a broken heart
Once I dreamt a wonderful dream
Still I dreamt a nightmare as I sleep
What was once before is now damned
My heart and soul damned and condemned
Why is it hard to have a broken heart?
Pondering on this question is an aching heart
Broken from head to toe am I
A broken man asking the question, why?
Dont Push Me Out, Youll Hurt Me
(But It Is The True Me)
Dont push me out again,
For I may not return,
Dont push me out again,
It still makes me hurt.
I may not be back
For you have shut me out
I have never been so down
Since you pushed me out.
I have been in love
With someone like you
Fallen in vain
Fell, shame, pain.
Dont push me out again
For I may not be the same person
You pushed out from your life
I may not be half the man.
Half the man I was
Half of what should have been
Less than what was
Or maybe someone free.
Over the rainbow,
Over the sea,
I found someone else in my place,
Someone else not me.
Someone who has been hiding
Deep within.
Someone who could not be
The someone you never knew.
One tiny instance I looked to see
I saw a figure who looked like me.
He or it I couldnt make of
It was horrible but radiant still.
It was me, I think, I feel
Less or more I wish I knew
But this for sure, though not pure,
It was a figure of me.
Dont push me out again,
You might hurt me,
Delicate, subtle, feeble me
You might hurt the one you once loved.
I dont mean to hurt you,
But this is me
You pushed me out,
Couldnt you see.
I have returned not as me
But as someone I hid inside
Someone I tried to hide,
It is the true me

Life is one big strikeout
It all begins once you take the plate
Sixty feet away is the biggest nemesis, life's biggest bout
He winds up and throws obstacles full of hate
I took a swing and there goes a long fly ball - foul
My academics is nothing but a long foul ball
Endless nights living like an owl
I knew I gave it all
Here comes another pitch - another foul - the second part
Being an athlete, a baseball player, was no easy task
I've proven that I've got heart
Give me another chance, that's all I ask
The third pitch is thrown
It's beautiful, just like the girls I admire and love
But alas, they all went by and none of them could be my own
I swung and missed - my dreams flew away like a dove
I gave it all, I tried my best in this so-called bout
But all I can hear is the ump saying: "STRIKE THREE, YOU'RE OUT!!!" http://www.pinoyexchange.com/crying.gif

NAgdidilim na naman ang paligid
sa paglatag ng maitim na liwanag
tanging larawan mo lang ang aking nakikita,
sa gabay ng malamlam na liwanag
mula sa kandilang unti-unting nauupos.
Ngunit sa gabing ito,
kasabay ng ultimoy pagtulo ng luha ng kandila,
ay ang pag-agos ng luha mula sa 'king mga mata.
Ang pag-ibig dahan-dahang naglalaho
kasabay ng kandila,
sa muli nitong pagkamatay....

Have You Ever...?
Have you ever noticed that the worst way to miss someone is when they are
right beside you and yet you can never have them.....when the moment you
can't feel them under your fingertips you miss them?
Have you ever wondered which hurts the most; saying something and wishing
you had not,or saying nothing and wishing you had?
I guess the most important things are the hardest things to say. Don't be
afraid to tell someone you love them. If you do, they might break your
... but if you don't, you might break theirs.
Have you ever decided not to become a couple because you were so afraid
of losing what you already had with that person? Your heart decides who it
likes and who it doesn't. You can't tell your heart what to do. It does it
on its own.... when you least suspect it, or even when you don't want it to.
Have you ever wanted to love someone with everything you had, but that
other person was too afraid to let you? Too many of us stay walled because
are too afraid to care too much...for fear that the other person does not
care as much, or at all.
Have you ever loved someone and they had absolutely no idea whatsoever?
Or fell for your best-friend in the entire world,
and then sat around and watched him/her fall for someone else?
Have you ever denied your feelings for someone because your fear of
rejection was too hard to handle? We tell lies when we are afraid
....afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of
what will
be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie.... the thing we fear
grows stronger.
Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump. Don't be a person
who has to look back and wonder what they would have, or could have had.
No one waits forever...
MISTAKE by M2
Not because you feel the same way
But because you've changed me into someone I wasn't.
Not because you're gone but because things between us aren't the way they used to be.
Not because you've always been away but because my life seems empty without you.
Not because I've hurt you but because I've fallen in love with you when I'm not supposed to.
Love, this one's for you,
Who Ever Loved That Loved Not at First Sight?
It lies not in our power to love or hate,
For will in us is overruled by fate.
When two are stripped, long ere the course begin,
We wish that one should love, the other win;
And one especially do we affect
Of two gold ingots, like in each respect:
The reason no man knows; let it suffice
What we behold is censured by our eyes.
Where both deliberate, the love is slight:
Who ever loved, that loved not at first sight?
sana maniwala ka
i know im bound to loose u someday
fire on my skin,acid flowing down my face
i dont want to be hurt like this
so im telling u now,
please let me go
it is better to be hurt and still love u
than go on with my insanity,
and be killed once u stab my heart....
Letting Go
My love for you is like the waterfalls.
It's water keeps flowing and there's just no
way of stopping it.
It's not that I would want to stop it,
It's just that there are times when I just hope i could control it.
And just like the water from the waterfalls
its beauty is just indescribable, it's something that i enjoy seeing and feeling
but there are times when the flow is just too fast
just before i know it, i've hit hard, the pain's indescribable
it's a feeling that i never want to feel again.
i've always thought that loving would always bring happiness
but by being in this relationship i've realized a lot of things
and these things i've realized i'll always remember
and these things i've realized i'll take with me wherever i go
these tings made me smarter and
probably someday it'll make me stronger
The love you give me is like the sun in the sky
it's light just keeps spreading and there's
just no way of stopping it
It's not that i would want to stop it,
in fact i hope i feel it all throughout the relationship.
and just like the light from the sun
at times i can feel your warmth
but there are just times when i can't explain what's going on
i know you're there but i just can't seem to feel you
i never thought that the day would come when there would be a dark cloud.
if i'm not mistaken we vowed never to hurt each other.
but what have i done wrong that you were
able to do this to me?
when and why did you decide to hurt me
and cheat behind my back?
I really thought that we were meant to be
and that we would spend the rest of our
lives with each other.
Everything just seemed to be so perfect
Everything was just going so smooth.
if you got tired of me, i just hope you told me
i really wish you didn't just want me for the
sake of showing someone to your friends
because whether you believe it or not i gave
everything just to make it work
i gave love, respect, trust, i even believed in you and a lot more
This is probably the hardest thing i'm ever going to do
letting go of someone whom at first i liked but ended up loving
i really wish we could work things out
i would also love to see the day when i
would learn to look you in the eye and say " i forgive you"
but then again, if ever you want me back
i don't think i can risk it again
the pain was something i never thought i'd experience
and it is definitely something i never want to feel again
So for now all i can say is GOODBY MY LOVE
these words are neither easy to say nor to deal with
if only i can make my heart understand
what's going on i probably won't feel this much pain
If only i can make my mind understand what's going on i probably would be able to think straight
if only i could understand what truly is going on
that i can probably live a new life...
SADDENED EYES by bLaCk
tears fell down as he walked by
her heart broke down and she knew why
all her friends just sypathize
as she looked at him with saddened eyes
she never expected her love to grow
but nevertheless, he doesn't know
and when he stopped just to say "Hi"
she smiled at him with saddened eyes
he fell in love with a different girl
and darkness devoured her crumbled world
wond'rin' how long as years go by
she'll keep on looking with saddened eyes
feeling so numb from all the pain
only in dreams can she ever smile again
wishing for love that justifies
she sighed and closed her saddenced eyes
hoping one day he'll realize
she looked at him with saddened eyes...
another one of my works..
i hate you..
because everytime i'm with you
i'm not my usual talkative and perky self
you make me appreciate silence...
as you presence envelopes me
i hate you..
because you're the master of disguise
from being an idiotic jerk
to a sweet, sensitive guy
you never fail to make me smile
to think that you were the first to make me cry...
i hate you
because you complete me
and now that you're gone
i can never be whole again..
i hate you
because everytime we talk i feel right
but when i hung up i feel so miserable
coz i know i can never be as happy as then
caz i know things aren't the same
i hate you
because each moment you look at me
with those sweet, hopeful eyes
i begin hoping too.. without knowing
how long this "hope" would last
i hate you
because you're there and i'm here...
and even if i try to deny it... or even forget it
in your own little way
you make me fall in love with you again
though i know i shouldn't
and you make me realize
how much i still am...
"you excitedly send the one you love mushy quotes to say what you feel only for them to send it to the one they really love and they end up together ... and you, still waiting for their reply."
bigapple---> uh huh really sad, happened to me many tyms, it breaks my heart
black---> ei lyk ur poem i hate you...keep up the good wrok.
he left me just last nyt.....m im starting to move on, it really hurts....
here's a poem i made...
My pain-stricken face is tired of these tears
Of how could a love like ours abruptly disappear?
Where is he now & where am I?
Left in a corner as the days pass by
The tranquility of the air we used to breathe
Is all but a memory of the life I used to live
& The sunshine of the morning is now gone
When all of the love has been said & done
The faint kisses still linger in my head
Just as his feelings for me are forever dead
He left me here without saying goodbye
& All I have now are these tears in my eyes
di ko kayang tanggapin na mawawala ka na sa akin napakasakit na marinig na ayaw mo na sa akin. Hapdi at kirot dulot sa king damdamin.... hehehehehe
hi gas.....mwaaaahhh!!!
ala ako iba ma-share eh...
too soon
i kept telling my heart
but it cannot
be coerced nor dissuaded
of all the follies
ever to have
it had to pick
falling in love with you
too soon
oh, it seems
kinda eerie now
how we like the same songs
and the same books
how we're both fascinated by art
how we both stink as cooks
wonderful, how we can talk
all day and all night
and not run out of topics
or just sit silently together
listening to soft music
we look good together
everybody says so
and everyone's wondering
how come, we don't make a go
for a love affair
since the chemistry, it's there!
what they failed to notice was
how i felt the magic too soon
while you were still fooling around
my heart was spelling my doom
and i had to do something
the pain was killing me
i thought, if it's a friend you want
then a friend i'd be
it was so achingly hard
t kiss a dream goodbye
i couldn't let you know
it was inside that i cried
too late
tell your heart that
mine has changed
i have let go
what's more
i have move on
i cannot meet you
halfway anymore
you fell in love with me
just in time to know
it's too late
- TOO SOON, TOO LATE 10-10-2k
finished: 1:05 am

share lang po ako ha ..
Sana may magik ang pc ko.
Sana may dalang ligaya sa bawat pag-galaw ko.
Na sa pagbukas ko ng monitor, mukha mo ang makita ko.
Sa pag-pindot ko nang up, darating ka sa tabi ko .
Pag pinindot sa kaliwa, yakap mo ang hangad ko.

Kapag hinimas-himas ang mouse, si aking irog darating .
magbibigay ng saklolo at tunay na lambing.
at sa halip na shift, ay tab ang pipiliin.
nang sa gayon, ako naman ay hindi mabitin.

Arizona's economy won't recover until more people move here, but more people won't move here until the unemployment rate drops.
DALLAS — Today's kids can't keep up with their parents. An analysis of studies on millions of children around the world finds they don't run as fast or as far as their parents did when they were young.
Arizona's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate has improved slightly.
PHOENIX — The state's jobless dropped last month — but just a bit — indicating that Arizona's recovery is languishing.
"Another reason for low health care sign-up numbers: We're a nation of procrastinators. How many of us turn in anything early? We are a country that sees a deadline and thinks: I bet I can turn it in a little late."
Arizona's four-year public universities had the nation's largest in-state tuition and fees increase over the past five years, according the nonprofit organization that oversees the SAT.
PHOENIX — Arizona's economy continues to mend, spurred largely by a people buying cars and parts.
PHOENIX — There will finally be as many people working in Arizona at the end of next year as there were employed here in 2005. But a new report Thursday shows it will take perhaps three more years for the state to hit its pre-recession employment peak.
BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Organic kibble? All-natural chow? Fido and Fluffy don't know it, but their owners want them to eat better — and they are forking over big bucks to make it happen.
For most people, our home is our greatest investment. The recession has reduced our net worth, our homes have lost much of their value, our retirement accounts are valued at half of what they were and our savings accounts are offering less than a half of a percent in annual interest. Studies indicate that a strongly performing public school system is a top decider when people are looking to relocate. The Queen Creek Unified School District is the highest rated school district in Maricopa County and ranked fourth in the state. The best way to protect your assets is to strengthen the value of your home and those around you. Whether you have school age children in your home, and whether your children attend QCUSD schools, a charter school, or even if they are home schooled, it is imperative that you vote to protect the property values of all of our homes by ensuring that the QCUSD has the funding they need to continue to be an "A" Rated district. Please vote "YES" on Nov. 5th.

To parents and residents living within the Gilbert Public Schools geographic area:
"I got the best bargain — this book," I said. "No, you didn't. Look at this Coach purse," my daughter said.
SanTan Brewing Company not only survived the recession but thrived in it, and the Chandler brewery showed off its latest reward this week.
Bill Clinton left office after two terms as President in 2000. During the course of his Presidency policies were initiated which resulted in the country enjoying a robust economy which included, a budget surplus, low unemployment, no wars to speak of, and what should have been a rosey outlook going forward.
"Gilbert may reject U.S. funding."
Music can be a way for someone to express him or her self or perhaps a stress reliever; for Tempe's Connolly Middle School, music is the program that sets the Tempe school's students apart.
PHOENIX — The state is headed into another financial hole, the combination of already approved tax cuts and required annual spending increases.
Black Friday will officially start very early again at the Chandler Fashion Center this year.
A report conducted by Arizona State University's W.P. Carey School of Business indicates the combined direct and indirect impacts from Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport brought in more than $1 billion to the regional economy in fiscal year 2013. That's 79 percent more than what was reported in the last study, three years ago.
Arizona's jobless rate jumped three-tenths of a point last month to 8.3 percent and now is a full percentage point higher than the national figure.
Tom Hanks didn't know where the cameras were.
The gap in employment rates between America's highest- and lowest-income families has stretched to its widest levels since officials began tracking the data a decade ago, according to an analysis of government data conducted for The Associated Press.
The state is borrowing $200 million this week to pay off the last of what it owes the federal government for providing jobless benefits to out-of-work employees. And the move should save Arizona businesses $42 on each and every worker they have.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The gap in employment rates between America's highest- and lowest-income families has stretched to its widest levels since officials began tracking the data a decade ago, according to an analysis of government data conducted for The Associated Press.

Police: Elliot emergency room patient kept punching
"We're already at capacity," said hospital Chief-Executive Robert J. MacLeod. He expects pressure will subside once other portions of a $24.7 million mental health improvement program are in place.
Powerful punches
Wyman had prevented Kinglocke from leaving the hospital and drawn the patient's ire, according to police reports. The second victim, Melissa Clermont, discovered Wyman face down on the floor in the secure area, with Kinglocke apparently trying to use Wyman's employee ID/key card to exit the area. When Kinglocke saw Clermont, he allegedly punched her in the face, which knocked her to the ground, police said.
Kinglocke was arraigned Tuesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on the felony charges. He appeared calm, smiling and waving his hands, despite cuffs, to relatives in the gallery. Court records say he suffered a "boxer's" fracture to his right hand, an injury that can occur when delivering forceful punches.
Wyman is undergoing treatment at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Hospital security guards and medical staff told police Wyman was face down and unconscious when discovered late Monday morning.
In ER 'too long'
Dean planned to meet with Wyman's family later in the day. He said many of the hospital staff appeared traumatized Tuesday.
He said Elliot has eight hospital beds that can handle involuntary commitments, but only the New Hampshire Hospital can treat patients who exhibit assaultive behavior toward others. He applauded the additional beds at New Hampshire Hospital, but said the system still lacks the capacity to address mental health properly.
Dean said hospital workers restrain violent patients according to procedures devised by Elliot staff and Manchester Community Mental Health. He was unable to provide specifics.
Police reports indicate that Wyman was alone with Kinglocke and another patient at the time of the attack.

My research in physics involves the theoretical study of astronomical phenomena. Although my interests in this field are broad, I have focused my efforts in the subfields of high-energy astrophysics and the dynamics of molecular clouds. My contributions to high-energy astrophysics have included the theoretical investigations of pulsars, gamma-ray bursts, soft-gamma repeaters, Active Galactic Nuclei, and most recently, the Galactic center.
These investigations involve the study of particle acceleration mechanisms at play in the given system and the resulting high-energy radiative signatures. My contributions to the field of molecular clouds include the study of soliton propagation in the interstellar medium and the study of linear MHD wave propagation and subsequent cloud support mechanisms. The emerging field of complexity theory promises to bring about a new revolution in the study of complex nonlinear systems.
I am eager to apply ideas emerging from this relatively young field to the study of the interstellar medium, a system that clearly satisfies the conditions required to exhibit both chaotic and ordered behavior. But what excites me most about complexity theory is its highly interdisciplinary nature. Indeed, the theory has been applied to the study of self-organization in evolution, the investigation of Belousov-Zhabotinski chemical reactions, and to economic and social systems.

For the love of a mother
The sensitivity of this story is touching to say the least! Well written and romantic as well as lustful. I don't know if this was based on an acutal event or not but if it was, then I have only kudos for the son (writer) giving the his mother the love she so deeply needed and deserved.
by Anonymous06/01/06Fucked my mom
Great story. I started fucking my mom when I was 14. I fucked my mom for 4 years after my dad was killed in an accident. She also fucked many men. I would fuck her after she came home after fucking some man.
I would eat her freshly fucked pussy while she told me about her date. My mom was my whore.
Mom remarried and we quit fucking. I miss fucking mom. She was a great fuck. She loved to suck my cock.by clifton104205/05/07Was fine,until
Was fine until the so called yelling and screaming? No one sleeps so soundly that they would sleep thru yelling and screaming from the next room. That is absolute B/S. The premise is that you would be as quiet as possible under the circumstances. Even tho it is fiction, the reader must be left with the impression that it was entirely possible,and therefore , believable. As I said before, it was fine until the yelling and screaming,then you lost me as to the believability of the scene. Just my thoughts.
by Anonymous06/23/09Bit of a reply for clifton1042
You say no one could sleep through that? You haven't met my husband or boyfriend... They both can sleep though my self induced orgasms, and I'm not quiet.... Some people actually are that Oblivious...
As for the story, omg.... VERY hot... I never had a thing for my parents, but my sister or my male cousin.... Sometimes a new perspective can see the truth of things, as this story shows... Very romantic, very sensual, very hawt... Just what I needed on a lonely night...by LAROC11/22/12Click here to leave your own comment on this submission! or

I'm going to get right to the point: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is not good.
Five episodes in, and I'm ready to quit -- and I don't quit anything. I'm still watching Grey's Anatomy, Project Runway and yes, even the boys vs. girls season of America's Next Top Model, but S.H.I.E.L.D. is pushing my limits.
Last week's episode was a small step in the right direction, finally introducing the show's Big Bad, Centipede. But I'm finding it hard to muster up anything beyond apathy towards this evil. Why should I care whether or not Coulson's team can save the world from Centipede when they haven't given me a single reason to care about the people doing the saving? Here are seven ways that S.H.I.E.L.D. went wrong:
Season 20, Episode 16 The final two models battle it out in a fierce runway show and the pressure is on as the final photo shoot is shot by Tyra herself.
Season 20, Episode 2010 Behind-the-scenes confessions, flirtations and meltdowns among the guys and girls are revealed in the never-before-seen footage.
Season 20, Episode 2002 During a photo shoot on the streets of Hollywood, the semi-finalists have to pose while the public votes on them.

The University of Newcastle has forged a strong partnership with one of Sydney's most prestigious private higher education providers to deliver more versatile study options for business students.
The International College of Management, Sydney (ICMS) and the University today signed an agreement that will allow the University's Bachelor of Business degree to be undertaken across two locations.
Business students will undertake their first year studies at ICMS's Manly campus, and the second and third year at the University's Newcastle campus.
Vice-Chancellor, Professor Nicholas Saunders, said he hoped this new partnership was the beginning of a long and mutually-beneficial relationship between the two institutions.
"The International College of Management, Sydney is one of the country's most awarded private higher education providers and the University is pleased to be partnering with them," Professor Saunders said.
"The agreement provides a channel for students to study the Bachelor of Business in both Newcastle and Sydney and will strengthen the University's commitment to providing a rich learning experience."
International College of Management Sydney Managing Director, Frank Prestipino, said they would be welcoming both international and domestic students into the program.
"Newcastle has a strong academic reputation and this is a great opportunity to collaborate with the University to offer a business program that is in the interests of a diverse range of students," Mr Prestipino said.
"Under the partnership, Newcastle academic staff located at the ICMS campus will also take a mentoring role with our staff, particularly in the area of research."
Applications through the Universities Admissions Centre are now open for study in 2012.

Following in the Footsteps of Balboa
The first European to glimpse the Pacific from the Americas crossed Panama on foot 500 years ago. Our intrepid author retraces his journey
- By Franz Lidz
- Smithsonian magazine, September 2013, Subscribe
Juan Carlos Navarro delights in pointing out that John Keats got it all wrong in his sonnet "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer." The Romantic poet, he says, not only misidentified the first European to glimpse the Pacific Ocean, but his account of the mountain looming over a tropical wilderness in what is now Panama was, by any stretch, overly romantic.
Navarro, an environmentalist who served two terms as the mayor of Panama City and is the early favorite in his country's 2014 presidential elections, notes that it was actually the Spanish conquistador Vasco Núñez de Balboa who did the glimpsing, and that countryman Hernán Cortés—the cutthroat conqueror of the Aztec Empire—wasn't even in the neighborhood during the 1513 isthmus crossing.
Nor was the peak—Pechito Parado—technically in Darién, the first permanent mainland European settlement in the New World. "Today, the Darién is a sparsely populated region of Panama," says Navarro, the only presidential candidate who has ever campaigned there. "In Balboa's day, it was just a town—Santa María la Antigua del Darién—on the Caribbean side."
Of all the inaccuracies in the sestet, the one Navarro finds the most laughable is the reaction of the expedition party after spotting the Pacific, which, to be persnickety, Balboa named Mar del Sur (the South Sea). "The look of the men hardly could have been one of 'wild surmise,'" Navarro says, disdainfully. "Before starting his journey, Balboa knew pretty much what he'd discover and what he could expect to find along the way."
The same can't be said for my own Darién adventure, a weeklong trudge that's anything but poetry in motion. As Navarro and I lurch up Pechito Parado on this misty spring morning, I realize it isn't a peak at all, but a sharply sloped hillock. We plod in the thickening heat through thorny underbrush, across massive root buttresses and over caravans of leaf-cutter ants bearing banners of pale purple membrillo flowers. The raucous bark of howler monkeys and the deafening cry of chicken-like chachalacas are constant, a Niagara of noise that gushes between the cuipo trees that tower into the canopy. The late humorist Will Cuppy wrote that the howl of the howler was caused by a large hyoid bone at the top of the trachea, and could be cured by a simple operation on the neck with an ax.
"Imagine what Balboa thought as he hiked through the rainforest," says Navarro while pausing beside the spiny trunk of a sandbox tree, whose sap can cause blindness. "He had just escaped from the Spanish colony of Hispaniola—the island that comprises present-day Haiti and the Dominican Republic—an arid, spare place with a rigid system of morality. He lands in a humid jungle teeming with exotic wildlife and people who speak a magical, musical language. He's told that not far off are huge amounts of gold and pearls and an even huger sea. He probably thought, 'I'm gonna be rich!' For him, the Darién must have been mind-blowing."
This month marks the 500th anniversary of the exploration that not only blew Balboa's mind, but eventually caused him to lose his head. (Literally: Based on false charges brought by Pedro Arias Dávila, the father-in-law who had displaced him as governor of Darién, Balboa was decapitated in 1519.) The occasion is being celebrated with great fanfare in Panama City, where the crossing was a theme of this year's annual carnival. Nearly a million people took part in the five days of spectacles, which featured a 50-float parade, 48 conga-dancing groups and 10 culecos—enormous trucks that blast music and drench spectators with (somewhat inaptly) tap water.
While conquistadors like Cortés and Francisco Pizarro are reviled throughout Latin America for their monstrous cruelty, the somewhat less ruthless but equally brutal Balboa (he ordered native chieftains to be tortured and murdered for failing to bend to his demands, and gay indigenes to be torn to pieces by dogs) is revered in Panama. Statues of the explorer abound in city parks, coins bear his likeness, the currency and the nation's favorite beer are named for him, and the Panama Canal's final Pacific lock is the Port of Balboa.
As depicted in Balboa of Darién, Kathleen Romoli's indispensable 1953 biography, the Spanish-born mercenary was as resourceful as he was politically naïve. Balboa's greatest weakness, she observed, was his "lovable and unfortunate inability to keep his animosities alive." (He underestimated Dávila even after Daddy-in-Law Dearest had him put under house arrest, locked him in a cage and ordered his head to be chopped off and jammed on a pole in the village square.)
Navarro argues that Balboa's relatively humane policies toward indigenous people (befriending those who tolerated his soldiers and their gold lust) put him several notches above his fellow conquistadors. "He was the only one willing to immerse himself in the native culture," says Navarro. "In Panama, we recognize the profound significance of Balboa's achievement and tend to forgive his grievous sins. He was consumed by ambition and lacking in humanity and generosity. Was he guilty of being part of the Spanish power structure? He was guilty as hell. He was also an authentic visionary."
Navarro has been following in Balboa's bootsteps since the summer of 1984. He had graduated from Dartmouth College and was about to begin a master's program in public policy at Harvard University. "Balboa was my childhood hero, and I wanted to relive his adventure," he says. "So my older brother Eduardo and I got some camping gear, hired three Kuna Indian guides and started from the Río Aglaitiguar. When we reached the mountains at dawn on the third day, the guides warned us that evil spirits inhabited the forest. The Kuna refused to go farther. For the final nine days we had to muddle through the jungle on our own."
I accompanied Navarro on his second traverse, in 1997. He was then 35 and running the National Association for the Conservation of Nature (Ancon), the privately funded nonprofit he started that became one of the most effective environmental outfits in Central America. In defense of the Darién, he prevailed against powerful lumber barons, getting tariffs on imported lumber abolished; lobbied successfully for the creation of five national parks; and discouraged poaching by setting up community agro-forestry farms. On his watch, Ancon bought a 75,000-acre cattle ranch that bordered the Gulf of San Miguel and turned it into Punta Patiño, Panama's first and still largest private nature preserve. Now 51 and the presidential candidate of the Partido Revolucionario Democrático (PRD), he's a bit rounder around the middle and his face has some well-earned lines, but his enthusiasm is scarcely diminished. "Despite the atrocities Balboa committed," Navarro says, "he brought to the Darién an attitude of discovery and empathy and wonderment."

Having been raised in the Panama Canal Zone and graduated from Balboa High School.........the article on BALBOA caught my interest........as all do when reading the National Geographic ........... The o port of Balboa is NOT the final locks on the Pacific side of the Canal . The final locks that will raise or lower the ship at total of 54 feet is MIRAFLORES. My father worked on those locks for many years and I myself can recall the many historical events that I watched take place at these locks.
Posted by John Schmidt on November 6,2013 | 04:34 PM
Quick comment. The pacific lock is called the Miraflores not the "Port of Balboa". (8th paragraph) I'm not even sure where the Port of Balboa is. I grew up in Panama and returned a couple times as an adult for the annual Cayuca Race which traverses the entire canal including all three sets of locks. Just wanted to make you aware of an error in the article. Otherwise it was great!
Posted by Chris Beck on September 10,2013 | 10:09 AM
I just read the article in our copy of the magazine and it is a well-told and informative story connected to the anniversary - but I sure wish there had been space for a map and more pictures. I kept turning the pages,expecting one or two on a following page. What is the view 500 years later? I know the general area, having lived in the Canal Zone off and on as a youngster and having worked for the Smithsonian Branch there as a staff artist during college vacations in the early 70's (making animated movies of lizard behavior to show to other lizards!). But even with my knowledge of the area, I was curious about the actual route. Any way of getting further images on-line? As an occasional writer of articles, I understand the limitations of publications, but at least use the internet to include what may have been cut.

I was going to buy some kind of scientific lab shaker on ebay, but even the used, crappy ones were going for $40 and might come with an unexpected gift of anthrax or something... And I had a deadline to meet so shipping wasn't an option.
So I made my own paint shaker out of parts I had lying around. I did some surfing and found other painters' ideas I combined into a working unit.
I've made one before, but it was a cheesy thing with a weighted CD-ROM motor attached to a film canister, suspended by an o-ring. I wanted something more effective, easier to use, and able to hold multiple paints at once.
I ran across someone who attached a motor to a plastic tray and hung it from rubber bands. It worked nice, but clattered the heck out of the paints in the tray. However, it gave me an idea - I figured the scientific shakers had some kind of rubber isolator to keep the shaker from transferring vibrations to the table. So here's what I came up with:
All told this cost me $0, since I had all the parts on hand. But, it should cost under $20 to make depending on what parts you can scrounge or buy.
WARNING - I provide this article as an example for entertainment purposes only, and take NO responsibility for anyone attempting to build a similar device. DO NOT attempt to do this unless you have a basic knowledge of mechanics or electronics. NO ONE under the age of 18 should attempt to build this.
Parts list:
- 12v computer fan (80mm or larger and at least 200mA for max. vibration)
- plug-in 12v DC transformer - should match the mA rating of the fan. (I used a 14v @ 100mA, though, which worked fine - higher voltages can lessen motor life though...)
- protective screen or mesh for fan (don't use the chrome ones with big openings- you'll see why in the description)
- plastic tray ($1 for 2 @ drugstore)
- rubber non-slip shelf liner
- rubber weather-stripping insulation
- assorted screws
- 4 hollow rubber feet - sourced from a DVD player, but can be found in electronic supply houses
- wire crimp connectors
- wire cutting/crimping tool
- on-off switch (optional) - I didn't have one handy, so I just plug it in
- lead foil or similar flat weight
- super glue or E6000
- double-sided tape
- rubber cement
As you can see the tray was just screwed to the top part of the fan's screen with some small electronics screws.
I drilled pilot holes with my pin-vise and screwed it down. I stuck the non-slip sheeting on the tray with double-sided tape. The weather-stripping foam is self-adhesive - I used enough thickness to be able to hold a bottle firmly on its side. This guarantees maximum shaking of the paint:
I then prepped the fan by gluing pieces of lead foil on one blade with super glue. (The white residue is from zip-kicker.) Flat, thin pieces of lead worked best. I could shape them to the fan blade profile before gluing. I tried a flattened fishing weight first and it flew off as soon as I fired up the fan (you DID read my warning right?!?) Tiny sticker of Iron Man can be added to fan blade later if desired.
A few pieces were enough to off-balance the fan so it shook when it turned - like a cell phone vibrator, but much stronger. (I used maybe a 1/4 oz worth of lead.)
Next I screwed down the fan to the tray and attached the bottom screen. The screen is crucial so if lead does fly off the fan blade later it won't shoot across the room... However – the weighted side of the fan blade is pointing at the bottom of the tray, so chances are it won't fly anywhere dangerous but into the bottom. You can add metal mesh if you feel totally paranoid but after several weeks of using this gizmo I've had no mishaps.
I glued the rubber feet to the bottom screen with rubber cement. You can see here the hollow rubber will isolate the mixer from the surface it's on.
Finally I cut the leads from the fan and crimped them onto the transformer's wires. (The blue wire shown in the fan close up wasn't "live" - I assume it's for speed control or something I didn't need, so I snipped it off.)
Caveats – I don't know how long the fan will last, since it wasn't designed to spin unbalanced and push air against a solid plastic surface. Eventually the bearing will go, but it's easy enough to get a new fan. The transformer doesn't get hot after 5 minutes' straight shaking so I assume I'll never have to replace that…
So how's it work? It doesn't vibrate my workbench - all the shaking goes into the paints. The tray slides over maybe a 1/2 inch when it first spins up, but then settles into a groove and won't move again. See the video for a sound level - it's much quieter than a computer fan when it's at max cooling. Quiet enough to be of no disturbance at night (my studio is next to my daughter's bedroom.)
Here are some examples of paints I shook. The Vallejo red hasn't been used for 5 years (I'm not lying! - ever since I switched to RMS paints.) 2 minutes shaking and it pours almost like new! The RMS paints were thinned perfectly in 1 minute or less, though some bottles thicken up with time (even a mixer won't fix that!) so a little distilled water may help with older bottles.
As you see, the tray can hold up to 6 paints side by side, but I wouldn't add more than that or the rubber feet might compress too much from the weight.
And it does a decent job of rolling dice too - though probably not fast enough for most gamers...
Not bad for 30 minutes' work! ;)

Among those in the middle from either side, the main questions are whether the limited strikes Obama proposes will work, and if unintended consequences will lead to U.S. involvement in another war halfway around the world after more than a decade of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"We don't know what's going to happen the day after we bomb," Democratic Rep. Bill Pascrell of New Jersey said Thursday on CNN.
The Senate version of the resolution approved by the Foreign Relations Committee sets a 60-day deadline for use of force in Syria, with an option for an additional 30 days.
An amendment accepted by the panel from Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona and Democratic Sen. Christopher Coons of Delaware added language to say the military response was intended to reverse Assad's battlefield momentum, a stronger objective than had been outlined by administration officials.
The resolution also makes clear there would be no U.S. boots on the ground as part of a response in Syria. It now goes to the full Senate for an expected vote next week, when the House also will take up the issue.
A concern for House members and senators facing re-election next year is a primary challenge by a more extreme candidate who could attack them for backing the president's proposed military move.
Already, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and veteran GOP Sen. Mike Enzi of Wyoming face primary races against opponents claiming stronger conservative credentials. Both McConnell and Enzi are undecided on a military response in Syria.
With polls showing public opposition to a military attack on Syria, legislators are facing pressure at home. Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, acknowledged Thursday that her constituents don't like the resolution.
"Every day I get a report on what the calls are, where the calls are coming from, what the nature of the argument is and there is no question that what is coming in is overwhelmingly negative," said Feinstein, who then added that "they don't know what I know, they haven't heard what I've heard."
A supporter of a military response in Syria who won re-election last year, Feinstein I like to believe now after 20 years I have some skill in separating the wheat from the chaff in this thing."
However, GOP Rep. Matt Salmon of Arizona said he remained unconvinced.
"I agree that there are sometimes that you need to just go out and lead and do what you believe is the right thing to do and hope that you can convince the people to follow," Salmon told CNN. "But, right now, I don't think that this administration has provided a very, very winning argument or series of arguments that we should engage in this conflict."

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 247
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brooxh No better place to be
My wife and I have stayed here twice, and are looking forward to returning again soon. The staff was courteous and helpful on both prior visits (including in 2007 before I became Platinum). You could not find a location that's more in the middle of things, and with a great view of the city and the sea. Our rooms were comfortable and well kept on both prior visits and the breakfast buffet was very good . . . a great way to start each day. Highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by discoinferno99 A lovely stay
We stayed for 2 nights and had a very enjoyable stay. The first night at the hotel appeared to be busy with a conference. I noticed that the hotel had pre-upgraded us to a sea view room a few weeks before arrival as a Platinum upgrade. It was great that they did this to ensure we had a good room, despite the limitation on upgrades with the conference.
The location of the hotel was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The only two negatives were that our room was extremely hot and with the hotel setting the a/c system to heat only for the winter, it did make the room uncomfortable at times. Secondly the fitness centre is part of the spa, which has rather limited opening hours that aren't very convenient.
Besides the two small negatives, we will definitely return to Le Meridien should we be in Nice again. Thanks to the staff for a great stay.

Rated 1 out of 5 by HospitalitybyMW Mediacore hotel in a stunning location.
We were very underwhelmed. As SPG Platinum member we were upgraded to a Deluxe Room with sea view and "balcony" – the room was on the small side and the balcony was a "French" balcony, e.g. one can hardly stand on it, and it has only one small door to access it: In short if this is the best available room: I don't even want to know what their superior rooms look like – especially at these kind of rates. Towels in the room had skid marks on them (and worst was not replaced after service), the bath sinks looked very dirty. The two complimentary bottles of water we finished after day one, were not restocked, nor did we receive new bathroom amenities. The card reader on the door worked very badly – we struggled each and every time to get the door open (literally taking 7 or more swipes to get in) – one morning we met a lady from housekeeping who was working on the floor: she looked at us struggling with the door, looked us in the eyes and subsequently walked away – an embarrassing gesture. One of the worst starwood breakfast selections ever experienced: we arrived the first morning at 09:20 – the breakfast closes at 10:00. During the breakfast we were approached three times by the same lady hostess (once by walking into the restaurant, once while at the table, once while walking the buffet) who asked for our room number. In general there was an extreme amount of staff, all running around and being "very busy" – we were not sure with what or whom… we had the last two mini croissants (they were not restocked), when we asked we were told they were "finished" – there was unripe fruit (green bananas), canned orange juice (I literally saw a waiter pour two cartons of juice into a steel container before re-pouring it into the serving containers on the buffet), tasteless processed ham and cheese (a "hotel block") and the worst "Illy" coffee I ever tasted. When I complained to the manager I was told that there were in fact fresh juices, but had not been stocked, the fruit was ripe and that the coffee could not be bad because it was Illy – all in a very hostile and "you are the only one complaining" kind of way (we overheard a German and Dutch family complaining as well). The pool on the rooftop is so tiny you can hardly swim in it and the beautiful rooftop terrace was dead on both nights. The location itself is stunning (Promenade Anglais is one of the most beautiful boulevards in the world and the city of Nice is very, - well -, nice) but this hotel, remaining as one of the few Le Meridien's in France does not put any justice to its name, location nor expected service level and that is highly unfortunate. Upon complaining to the hotel's director of rooms, I received a long email essentially mentioning that "I missed the items that were not on the buffet and that there are in fact fresh juices" - he also pointed out that our room was serviced twice and all towels and bathrooms were cleaned up to standards - even though the pictures I took speak for themselves. I did not receive a reply after trying to initiate another email to receive an apporiate compensation.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Sarah33 HORRIBLE STAY
If you have a choice to stay in any another hotel in NICE you should - this hotel has poor service, poor rooms, and will keep you up all night with no working AC and construction noise. Contacted the hotel about the horrible stay and with the poor service that they provide they gave us a comp movie. A movie for no sleep is not worth it - stay elsewhere and sleep!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Spencer20 DO NOT STAY HERE, go any where else
* I will be writing a more in-depth review soon this is just for others may be looking to stay at Le Meridian until then. This hotel is horrifying, not greeted by the lone doorman, front desk staff was barely attentive, in detail the hotel is in a general state of disrepair. The room my wife and I had for our honeymoon was one of the worst either of us have ever seen. For a hotel of this caliber it is just plain unacceptable. The only reason we booked here is (I should say was our SPG membership). In the future when booking in Nice or any where else for that matter, we will be looking beyond Le Meridian, beyond Starwood and book via a discount website. We feel unsatisfied and duped by the Le Meridian and Starwood brands.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Xan123 Not a true Le Meridien
This was my worst experience in many many years and we do travel a lot for business as well as pleasure. The hotel is simply below standard in every aspect it is not a Le Meridien as such.
Staff are rude, management invisible, decor old and outdated, service poor and slow. Also they will not acknowledge SPG levels and give you literally a hole in the back wall room for your points, which are deducted at the same rate as some great ones we experienced in many parts of the world.
September 20, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by globester Not recommended. Poor quality of service.
I've been Gold or Platinum for several years, and have stayed in Starwood properties in tens of cities. This Le Meridien's service was probably the worst.
- Central location on seafront, next to old town and shopping district.
- Great sea views from some rooms.
Needs improvement:
- The attitude of management and staff was strikingly negative on average (with exceptions). We interacted with 5 front door/guest service staff members. 2 were very helpful, but 3 were offensively rude. One cursed in French as she served us (thinking we would not understand). Basically, requests were all addressed, but in many cases we had to endure disrespect or negative attitudes first.
- The most striking concern was management's responsiveness, which likely is the cause of the service issues, as leaders set the tone. I have good relationships with GMs and duty managers at multiple hotel properties (because of frequent travel). I've never experienced a situation where a GM completely ignores a guest on multiple occasions, which was the surprising experience at this Le Meridien.

Rated 4 out of 5 by HC0812 To Nice, this is the place to stay!
The hotel is centrally located so it is convenient to everywhere of tourists' interests - the beach, parks, shopping, restaurants, tram and transportation, scenic places, etc. The hotel terrace offers a wide sweeping view of the ocean, the beach, the city and around while relaxing and sipping drinks. The breakfast buffet is rich in its variety and quality. My favorite is seafood rice congee. Definite the place to stay whenever visiting Nice!

His highly successful website had outgrown the capabilities of the existing solution, was looking tired and did not meet any aspect of the current accessibility Initiatives and legislation.
Building a new web presence for someone with his credentials and with an already established and successful site was always going to be a challenge, but we relished the prospect! We wanted to build a website quite different from that of other MP's, we hope to set the benchmark for others to follow.
The new site was constructed using our award winning Content Management System (CMS) solution and included many new features such as a full site search, RSS feeds, Blog, straw polls, virtual surgery, debates, site map, email news subscription, accessibility compliance and a more integrated visual design.
We are please to report that the site current attracts around 15,000 visitors a week on average which is a sharp increase over the previous site. Visitor number did peak at nearly 30,000 for a few months.

When Andrzej Szpilman was 12, he furtively rummaged through a chest high on a shelf of a closed wardrobe in his Warsaw home. Inside the closet, he found 10 copies of a book and, recognizing his father as the author, hid one in his third-story bedroom. "I read it and received a shock," said Andrzej Szpilman, 46, a dentist and record producer who immigrated to Germany in 1983.
The book was "Death of a City," his father, Wladyslaw's, grittily brutal, dispassionate 1946 memoir of hiding in and around the Warsaw Ghetto. Since Roman Polanski turned the book into a searing film, "The Pianist" -- which won four National Society of Film Critics Awards and is up for two Golden Globes on Sunday -- Szpilman has become one of the best-known Holocaust survivors in history.

October 13-30, 2009
Annapolis Mayor's Office
160 Duke of Gloucester Street
8:30am - 4:30pm, weekdays
Opening: Tuesday, October 13, 2009, 5-7pm
Last year during the Fall 2008 semester, architecture students in the Comprehensive Design Studio designed proposals for National Sailing Hall of Fame (NSHOF), to be located in Annapolis, Maryland. This October, ten students from the studio will exhibit their proposals in the Annapolis Mayors office, a short distance from the proposed site. The work by University of Maryland Architecture students will be shown alongside the commissioned project proposal, authored by Boggs & Partners, Architects.
The pedagogical goals of the Comprehensive Design Studio (ARCH 600) bridge the gap between design and technology, between practice and education, in an academic setting. Explorations include the integration of conceptual and technical aspects of architectural form and assembly, highlighting the ways in which multiple layers of a building design are developed, coordinated and resolved.
By bridging the gap between design theory and the practice of architecture, the Comprehensive Design Studio provokes students to develop a rigorous design process that can synthesize conflicting aesthetic and technical criteria. The Comprehensive Design Studio has been recognized for its excellence with several citations: the American Institute of Architects Education Honor Award, the Lilly Center for Teaching Excellence Honor Award, and an ACSA Teaching Award for Courses that Integrate Technology into the Design Studio, and several AIA Maryland Society design awards.
All encouraged to visit the exhibit.
For more information please contact: Professor Peter Noonan
The School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at the University of Maryland is home to four academic disciplines: architecture, urban planning, historic preservation and real estate development. Committed to educating its students and community about the importance of sustainability and smart growth, the School practices an interdisciplinary approach to education, research, creative work, and community and professional service.

Falcon Str8Men, Volume 6 FSD006
Scene 1
With killer looks and a rockin' bod, this hot dude is a definite keeper! Kaya has joined us because he's looking to start his porn career. He loves pussy and sex; he's an aggressive top who likes it rough. Open to new adventures, he's flirted with bondage and dress-up … whatever scene to intensify the pleasure, he's game.
So here he is with his beautiful physique and meaty horse dick. He's a narcissist, enjoying the touch of his own flesh and he coos with excitement as he exclaims how good it feels, how fucking good it feels. His skin is creamy and smooth; his cheeks rosy. He's got dreamy bedroom eyes. Who wouldn't enjoy molesting that celestial body? Such a scrumptious piece of meat. He lovingly strokes himself all over – his throbbing cock, perfect balls, muscled abs and fluid thighs. He becomes more vocal, getting louder and more excited until he climaxes and cums, getting gooey all over.
Scene 2
What's the skinny on Dallas and why does this 21-year-old Los Angeleno remind me of a Mother Goose character? He's a good-looking kid, tall and lanky, with an oddly familiar something about him.
After checking out the Falcon Str8Men site (which he thought was hot) he decided it would be a fun experience shaking his money-maker on camera. Never having done anything like this before, he's here now, ready to entertain.
Dallas is slight and willowy; his arms are slim and spidery, his build tight and lean. With his slender fingers, he massages his long cock. He is methodical as he strokes up and down the length of his tool, building steadily until he gets all flushed, ready to bust a nut. He gasps as he finally shoots! Definitely an entertaining experience – for him and for us – as he grins slyly to close the deal!
Oh yeah … he looks like a modern-day Jack Sprat. Skinny can be nice like our boy Dallas! And who'd ever pass up this tall drink of water?
Scene 3
Scene 4
Could Mikey Mike be Vlad the impaler resurrected? This 27-year-old import from Romania is an impressive force with a muscled bod, a super pair of balls and a towering pole we'd all like to be impaled on. This guy screams danger and excitement. Even his first sexual experience was an intense thrill. He was riding a SeaDoo and wanted to see how it would feel "being riddin" while riding on the waves. He was scared but it was a rush. I just have one question: What does he mean … "being riddin"?
Now to the action at hand. Mikey Mike strips down and strokes his big uncut cock, lubing it with his spit. Playing to the camera he turns around, bending over to show us his pendulous balls and tight asshole. He slaps his asscheeks and reaches back to finger his sphincter. Now seated he continues playing with himself. He grunts; he pinches his nipples; he vigorously strokes faster and faster until he climaxes and cums. Mikey Mike sits there looking vanquished and so appetizing, especially
Scene 5
We love all the guys who return for more playtime and lucky for us, Jeremy is back again. He hasn't seen any of the videos he's made because he thinks it'd be kinda awkward. But there's no better confidence builder than his buddies' affirmations after they found his scenes on-line. They seemed pretty jazzed about it. He's gotta know he has nothing to be shy or self-conscious about.
Today he's here to play with a pocket pussy – something he's never done before. He's used toys with his female partners, but this is something novel he figured he'd have to try himself. He strokes himself hard, then slips the latex sleeve onto his swollen cock. The sensation is immediate as he starts to manipulate his tool. He stimulates himself even more by fingering his hole and cupping his balls. He jerks harder and faster until he finally shoots and cums. Can't wait for the guys to catch this! Oh man!
Scene 6
Brice has already made a couple of videos for us – all of them winners. He's checked them out himself, obviously pleased with his output. Not long ago he met a girl who recognized him from his video appearances. They hit it off and had a hell of a night. The thought of fucking a bona fide porn star probably cinched the deal. Afterwards, she asked when he'd pop out another video. So, Babe, this one's for you!
Brice knows the routine. He quickly strips down and starts jacking himself hard. He slips the plastic pussy over his cock and slides in and out. The feel of the ribbed rubbery sleeve rachets up the pleasure. To stimulate himself even more, he diddles his asshole and tickles his balls. It's really hot watching his dick head pop out of the plastic tube – in and out, like a burrowing mole eager to make an escape. He finishes the job by himself, his face reddening with all the exertion of beating his meat. Then he shoots his load and is wiped out but pleased with yet another
Scene 7
Mikey Mike is one hot sexy biker dude. He's confident, cocky and has the goods to prove it – his thick uncut cock and pendulous balls. No one would ever deny his irresistible charm, along with that sly grin and mischievous twinkle in his eye. He's been here before, liked what he did and wants to do it again – this time with a dildo.
Mikey Mike knows how to get our attention. Beautiful and naked, he stretches his asscheeks wide apart to show us his bunghole and big cojones. He slaps his asscheeks, then starts stroking himself to get hard. He grabs the butt plug and slides it up his ass – in and out in a steady rhythm. He moves around a lot, trying to figure out what contorted position will enhance the toe-curling sensation even more. Whatever works for him works for us as we ogle his hungry ass eating up the latex plug. Hey, Mikey likes it! Quickly nearing climax, he pulls the plug out and finishes by wanking himself off, grunting hard and heavy until he shoots his load.
Scene 8
Christopher, a newcomer to our cameras and a Chicago native, is eager to make some extra money and intrigued with the prospect of pulling his pud in public. He's no fool – he knows that this can be a lucrative enterprise and since he's got the talent and the balls to make it in the industry, why not? Christopher's confidence is contagious and his wanting to make the most of this opportunity makes him all the more sexy.
He gets down on the ground, and starts doing his nasty hoo-ha, rubbing himself all over and just squeezing the bejesus out of his meat. He is a sight to behold and when he milks that gooey spooge out of his cock and flashes that grin, you just want to lap him all up. He's had a good time, signaling that he's on his way!
