It was December the 24th 2006 that I decided to start this blog,  and eight years later we are still going strong. My original concept began when I first started appearing in spanking movies and I wanted to have a place to chronicle not only my journey but my background as well.

As things have evolved obviously the focus of the blog has changed some,  I’ve made all of the films that I am going to make,  well,  there is perhaps one more that I would consider doing but that will be down the road. My focus for the last couple of years has been bringing you the rarest spanking pictures that I can find. Virtually 99% of what I post is unique to all but a tiny fraction of the spanking community,  and it is the one thing that I pride myself on,  bringing items that are new.

You may have seen me mention a few times that this blog isn’t going anywhere,  even if circumstances change this will not affect the blog at all. My plan is for the blog to continue for at least another eight years.

On a personal level things have changed a bit for me this year. Even though I have been to parties the last time that I actually played was in May. Don’t get me wrong,  there was more than enough opportunity to play,  it’s just that my desire to do so has waned. I’m not even sure if I can pinpoint why but I do have some thoughts on the reasons for it.

What I think is the biggest reason is that I have done everything that I ever wanted to do,  in fact I climbed so high up the mountain that it is hard to maintain that level of enjoyment. The eighteen month period leading up to my decision to back away was probably the most exciting that I have had. I can’t even begin to tell you how blessed I felt when I started to play with ellee,  where so many of the items I had always wanted to do I was able to and I had a person who was willing to do them with me.

A lot of people look at ellee’s pics,  and let’s be really honest here,  they are a pure delight to look at,  and make their own thoughts from them. The reason that I consider myself blessed though is that I got to spend time with ellee the person. Anybody who has met her knows of that major gift she has,  which is the ability to make everybody around her a happy person. It got to a point that I began to feel spoiled in the sense that I would say to myself  “That is how a person should act”. This isn’t new,  in fact I told her in person in April,  every interaction I have ever had with her has been a positive one and I have so many great memories. There is nothing that I could wish more for her than to receive the same happiness that she gives others.

So why is it important for me to say what I did above? It is simple really,  when you see such joy it is also very easy to see what isn’t fun anymore. Fetlife was one of those places where there was always a love/hate relationship. You love to spend time with your friends,  but at the same time you hate that a select number of people do nothing but spread hatred or try to attention grab by disrupting threads by saying something controversial,  or obtuse or just argumentative for the sake of it.

That ship sailed long ago.

In the realm of spanking parties the same principals apply,   though the boundaries are different. I’ve always been drawn to warm,  caring and kind people. When I look back at my experiences I think that I reached the top of the mountain in getting more than I ever wished for,  so why not bow out while you are at the pinnacle of happiness?

Eventually I will start going back to parties,  it won’t be for a while,  at least not until the party in April,  but for now I am happy in my contentment.

Now next week I will have my annual top ten of the year,  this is the ten posts that have been viewed the most on this site in the last 12 months. Every year there always seems to be one post that is the most popular by a large margin,  and this year was no different however it also presents a problem. The most popular post this year was an Egyptian video that I found and edited,  but unfortunately it fell afoul of Youtube’s copyright laws and was pulled. So right now the contest is actually very close with 50 page views separating the top two of the year. The picture below currently leads but that may change.

Anyway,  a Merry Christmas to you all and I look forward to another eight years of supplying you with spanking love.
