Poetry Thursdays

You say, “I will come.”

And you do not come.

Now you say, “I will not come.”

So I shall expect you.

Have I learned to understand you?

Everybody tells me

My hair is too long

I leave it

As you saw it last

Disheveled by your hands.

Poetry Thursdays..

it’s back….


Bound up it Always

Came undone.

Unbound it was so long.

Now I have not

Been with you for days

Is your hair all done up?

A “do over”

It was two years ago today I met her for first time.

By beginning of June it was over..

she was gone.

She left a lot of turbulence in her wake… those waves had long gone away

all that was left was a wondering if she was OK or if our paths would cross

Mid January 2010  she mailed me..

When I first saw mail I was stunned, I then feared to read it, worrying that with what I have been going through it would end up being a massive trigger..

It wasn’t

The most heartfelt letter I have ever read,  she dumped it all out about why she did what she did in why she did..    I wrote back.

We emailed a few times, then IM…

We made plans to meet for dinner on Valentines day after the Fetish Flea.  I was worried about what was going to happen.   There was drama after the Flea and here I am driving to Hartford to meet up with my ex-girlfriend yeah on Valentines day..

All my good vibes  were spot on.. my paranoia unfounded..  it was almost a perfect evening.

Since that day we have spent more time together.. and it has been good.. feels right.

We don’t have a label for it, but it is comfortable feels something completely new yet something old and well fitting.

She was first to call me Daddy…  she still does

Geekiery:Fetlife, PHP and Events

I am starting to work on a new little event mgt project using PHP to make up for features I wish Fetlife had. Much of it is still in my head so here is point form of where I am going

  • Create Events
  • Manage RSVP requests to Events
  • Auto post to Google Calendar
  • Auto post to Fetlife
  • Create event specific discussion group on Fetlife
  • Email/Fetlife msg reminders for event coming up
  • User Validation via Fetlife msg rather than Email

So far  for user managment I am using UserCake

and to try and log into and manipulate Fetlife a PHP Http tool called Snoopy

When this is finished it will be really useful for myself as well as many of the local area events that use fetlife

I am new to programming in PHP so this is also a good learning app
