I’m sick-to-death of cookie cutter templates and formulas.   I’m so sick of them that I had the same lucid dream for the third or fourth time last night.   At first blush, the dream may not seem to relate to the topic at hand, but stick with me for a moment, because it does.…

I’m sitting here at my desk, shirtless, not because I’m twisted but because it’s hotter’n Hades in here right now.   I’ve turned down the heat and am waiting for it to moderate in here…   In the meantime, here I sit contemplating how wonderful it will be after my chest masculinizing surgery to be…
