Yes, it’s another one of those posts, wherein I purge a bunch of thoughts that have been rattling around in my noggin…
If anyone is wondering if there’s going to be a post about the NY Sex Blogger Calendar party last Friday night, Veronica will be writing that sometime this week. We needed that getaway, and it had nothing to do with the party or the Kink Academy open house we attended on Saturday afternoon. Keep in mind that I returned from 10 weeks in Texas just a little over 2 weeks ago- for almost 48 hrs, midday Friday to midday Sunday, it was just the 2 of us, doing whatever we wanted and emotionally reconnecting some more.
Winning an nJoy Pure Wand was just a bonus

Darling Boy is getting too damn stealthy. I’m drafting this at 10:00pm Monday, sitting on the couch while watching the Pats-Dolphins game, and Veronica is sitting nearby. He just got out of bed, walked out of his room, came down the hall and went into the bathroom. Did either of us hear him? Not until he closed the bathroom door!
One of these days, we’re going to have to hang a bell or something on his bedroom door so we can hear him. We can’t have him walk in on us fucking on the living room couch!

One highlight of our NYC trip was a visit to The Whitney Museum of American Art, specifically to see an exhibit of photographs by Lee Freidlander. I’ve been thinking about my photography “style” and my project365. I’ve actually got an entire post started, musing about photography style, but for now, there are 2 things I want to share. First, not only am I fully committed to finishing my Project365 without missing a single day (I’ve made it 278 days, only 87 more to go!), but I’m going to continue next year! Second, I’m going to mess around with theme weeks, 7 days in a row of photographs with something in common, maybe I’ll test that idea before this year is out.
Any theme suggestions or requests? I’ve got ideas but am always happy to take requests!

Twitter has been interesting lately. I’ve started following a number of new people, it’s been fun getting to know them. What I don’t get are people who obsess (and tweet) about how many followers they have, or need, or have lost, whatever.
You find yourself disliking someone you follow in some way? Un-follow them.
You’d like to have more followers? Follow some new people, engage them in conversation, maybe they’ll follow you back. But please, don’t just ask for more followers AND ask me to retweet your plea, that’s not gonna happen.
If you follow me and would like me to follow you, say something to me. I don’t follow back everyone who follows me, I only follow those who I find interesting and engaging. And if I don’t find you interesting and engaging after a while, I’ll unfollow you. And I expect the same happens with me.

I’m thinking about shaving my head. The hairline continues it’s slow retreat, the crown is ever thinner, and there’s a good bit of gray in there. Somewhere there’s a picture of fresh-out-of-basic training Hubman from a dozen years ago, I wasn’t shaved then but it was damn short, short enough for me to get an idea of how I’d look without any hair on my head.
Any friends who have met me or seen a picture of my face, do you think I can pull off that look? I’m curious
=========================================================================
Not only is there an new Tits for Troops up today, but Boobie-thon is going on right now as well. If you want to check out some boobs, visit Tits for Troops (Veronica and I are both there), if you want to check out some boobs AND make a donation in the fight against breast cancer, visit Boobie-thon. And if you want to contribute a picture of your boobs (or moobs, guys are welcome too!), I’m certain that both sites would be happy to take your submission!
Okay, I think that completes the brain purge, I’m done.
Thanks for reading. Anything you’d like to purge from your brain? Feel free to use the comments section!

Who had the bright idea to put wheels on a bed frame? Really, does anyone need it move a bed that often that it needs wheels? Every time I sit up in bed with the laptop, inevitably the bed moves away from the wall, since for some reason the headboard is fastened to the wall instead of the bed…

Some people might have noticed that Southern Sage disappeared from the blogosphere last Saturday. His blog is deleted, his e-mail account is gone, so is his Twitter profile and Facebook page, from what I’ve heard.
I came across a couple of posts that seemed to be eulogizing him, like he’s dead. Sure, the online persona known as Southern Sage is gone, but the man behind the pseudonym is still alive and kicking. Assuming his wife isn’t that pissed about what she’s found…
Many of us blog anonymously for a variety of reasons, but the bottom line is we could possibly suffer personally or professionally if our blogs (and what we write about) were found, so we take steps to maintain that wall between real-life and online-life. Whenever someone drops out of the blogosphere because they got caught, I find myself wondering about the steps I take to protect my identity and to keep my blog and my Twitter account secret from family and “real life” friends.
Am I the only one who does this?

I guess today could be considered my blogiversary, as it was 2 years ago that I started the original Hubman’s Hangout on Blogger. That one went away in Jan 2009 (because I got nervous about how much personal info I was disclosing, ironically enough) and I moved to WordPress. Before I deleted that blog I exported it to an XML file and last night I looked back at those first posts. I smiled when I realized that some of those first people to comment on my blog are still around and some have become good friends too. Of course, it helped that Veronica had been blogging for several months by then and I was a frequent guest author on her blog, so people recognized who “Hubman” was when I started my blog.

See that countdown timer at the top of the right sidebar? Yup, 2 weeks from today I’ll be walking back through the front door of my home in Massachusetts, 10 weeks and 1 day after I left. I’ll be taking a different driving route home and have tentative plans to meet as many as 6 blogger friends along the way. I’ll also get a see a good friend for the 1st time in over a year, she’s one of those friends who commented on my very first post. It’s gonna be a good trip!
==================================================================
I wonder what happened. I texted my date from last Friday night once on Sunday and again on Wednesday, just a polite “Hi, how are you doing?” and I haven’t heard anything back from her. I could have sworn we had a good time together and she said she wanted to see me again…
==================================================================
A reader named Sophi reminded me of this comic, apparently the typo in my Day 242 post was enough to get her to comment.
Thanks Sophi, it’s good to know I have readers like you around, eager to point out my mistakes…
