Sorry about the last week guys, but life was really rough here at my house. I found a cool video I thought I would share though.
Enjoy!

Star Wars and M/s
I was looking at Star Wars this past weekend. I am a Star Wars fan, not an extreme fan, but I do have all of the movies and will get the Clone Wars to add to it.
The interaction between Darth Vader and the Sith Lord is fascinating to me. When he made his decision to go to the Dark Side he was obedient to the Sith Lord. No matter what was asked of Darth Vader his response would be “yes my Master” or “as you wish my Master.” The Sith Lord would say “very good my apprentice”.
Once I became aware of this lifestyle it hit me that their relationship was a sort of Master/slave relationship. One part of their interaction was something I try to emulate. It was Darth Vader’s obedience to his Master. Don’t get me wrong their relationship was extreme and faulty but even that can be used as a lesson. Here are a few lessons that I took from the movie and I hope you can find them useful:
– Choose your Master wisely. Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker chose to close his eyes to the faults of the Sith Lord. He ignored the warnings from his friends. He traded his family and his morals for his own needs.
– Find someone you can trust to help you with your questions or to guide you when needed. Before he became Darth Vader, Anakin was trained by those experienced in their field. The Jedi Masters were the ones knowledgable in using the force. With their continued guidance Anakin could have done great things for good.
– Obedience is what my Master desires. I used to think that by my being obedient that Sir would lose interest in me. In my mind a person who says yes Sir all the time is of no real use and only performing a robotic type service. The Sith Lord needed Darth Vaders obedience. He saw in Darth Vader what he needed (knowledge, skills, intelligence, his desire to be trained) to accomplish his plans. In exchange for the Sith Lords protection, guidance, etc. Darth Vader gave him complete obedience. Power Exchange. He says yes my Master without hesitation and he does what he is asked without question. This is the kind of dedication I want to have for Sir.
BDSM 101: Your First Munch
So, you have found this blog, and you have been thinking about going real time but you don’t know what to do next. One popular option is something we call a Munch.
What is a Munch?
If you’re new, you may have never heard of Munches. They are basically gatherings of kinky folk that get together to share food and friendship in a casual atmosphere. I still remember my first Munch, many, many years ago at a nice Thai restaurant in Charlotte. I didn’t know what to expect, but here are a few tips to help you out.
The Munch location is usually a private section of a restaurant, we tend to keep to ourselves to prevent us from scaring the vanillas (people who are not in the lifestyle) too much. You are likely to see people of all shapes, sizes and orientations. (You are probably only going to see white folks at a munch, but I encourage anybody that might be scared off by this to not be. Kinksters are very open and accepting of people of different ethnic origins, as we are all lovers of the kink.)Continue reading “BDSM 101: Your First Munch”
CAPEX Removed from Blogroll
Due to issues relating to the last board election, I cannot recommend CAPEX at this time. Due to privacy concerns, I will not go into the particulars. I have emailed the board directly and I hope that they will do the right thing and address them with the membership. I find this somewhat heartbreaking as I have been a member for the longest time, and even hosted their first Halloween event at the House of Void.
If this situation changes, I will let you know.

FetLife Reaches 100,000 Members today
I just thought I would share this bit of news with everyone. JohnBaku announced that FetLife had its 100,000th member join today. This is less than 13 months after it’s January 3, 2008, launch.
In case you were unaware, FetLife is a social networking site for people into the Lifestyle with a focus on being an anti-dating site. Yes, a place that makes it harder to hookup. But this is part of it’s charm. It allows serious discussions without the spam that usually fills up the women’s mailboxes. While not perfect, it is nice.
Congradulations, John, on hitting another milestone. And if you haven’t been there yet, you should go.
