And so it begins, my 58th year on this planet. Can you believe that I was 43 years old when I started this blog? There can only be a handful of us that have been around since 2006. I’m pretty sure that SPANKING BLOG, running since 2003, has to be the longest at 17 years, right? I’m currently halfway through my 14th year, and Bonnie at BOTTOM SMARTS started 15 months before I did. MYBLOGSTANY also started 10 months before I did. Are there any others that date back to 2006 and before, or are we the 4 oldest spanking blogs on the Internet? Not a statement, just a question 🙂
Yesterday was a pretty quiet day for me, it started just before I went to bed with an email from DANA SPECHT wishing me a happy birthday, but from that point onward I kind of hid it from everyone. On social media I removed my public birthday listing and I turned the comments off on my post yesterday. A couple of people, namely Dotty and Ron managed to circumvent my hiding techniques 😉
After that my only goal for yesterday, other than to treat myself to a New York pizza for my birthday, was to upload a meaningful video to my vanilla Youtube channel. It concerned my trip to Hiroshima and my desire to ring the Bell Of Peace in Memorial Park. The video of course tanked, just to piss me off, lol, so I will include it at the bottom of this post if any of you are interested in watching me ring the peace bell in Hiroshima.
On the picture hunt front I only put a couple of hours in yesterday towards my hobby, and the results reflected that with just a small smattering of average finds, nothing spectacular on that score yesterday. Actually let me rephrase that, I did find one in a play that I hadn’t seen a spanking in before. Previously I had read in one of the descriptions that one of the characters needed a spanking in the play, but no reference to a spanking actually taking place, not until now anyway. That will be for a later date though.
Now it is time for the weekly MEN ARE LIKE STREETCARS spanking pic. This is my reward for all of the man hours that I have put in recently into finding new spanking pics for the blog. I mean what else am I going to do? I can’t go into Manhattan to work and I have been stuck at home for weeks, so what not invest my time into my hobby. I’m very pleased with the haul that I have discovered in the last few weeks and I am only just scratching the surface I think. So here is this week’s photo, and I am 99% sure that this is a brand spanking new discovery for the spanking community to enjoy. I try my hardest to be unique and original with my postings as that is what I enjoy.
That’s all for today, but of course come back every day as I post most days. On Wednesday I will give you another real corker of a rare pic that hasn’t been seen before. It’s what I do 🙂
Believe me Richard 58 does not sound too bad when you’re buffered from above by the whole of ones sixties as I am.
Hi Richard. Happy slightly belated birthday. I was 57 on the 24th, so I have a decent sense of how you feel.
Great picture, by the way.
I look forward to seeing many more.
Tim
Sam,
I would have to say though that the 60’s don’t look as appealing as the 40’s did, lol 🙂
Rich
Tim,
A happy birthday to you as well!!
Rich
Hey, I was 70 a few months ago and I’m still up there looking at naughty pictures every chance I can! What else if there in life? Happy belated birthday!
That’s comforting to know, Mick. I’m finding that the older I get then the less interested in spanking I become. Mind you, I always love finding pictures and I don’t see that going away anytime soon 🙂
Rich
Absolutely so Richard. 60’s are not nearly so appealing as 40’s, and you can not even begin to imagine what 70’s are like. There is one aspect that is a sort of bitter consolation. I now understand ‘life’ much better than I ever did before. My thinking is so much clearer than before when the fog of confusion tripped me up at every turn. The bitterness comes from the fact that I am now totally incapable of acting on my newly acquired wisdom. I once saw a motto on a sign that sums it up very well. It read – ‘You are old too soon, and smart too late’.
There is definitely truth to that, the older I have become then the easier it has been to let things go. You get to a stage where you question your own longevity and you want to worry about the things that are important to you and worry far less about things that you can’t control. Right now I am looking to travel the world while I still can. A long time ago I could never understand how my father gave up on football as I had known him my whole life as an ardent fan. I’m beginning to understand that now. His passion went, just like my passion for spanking is waning. It’s not that it is not important, it’s just that it isn’t as important as other areas of my life are right now. Of course the Karen’s of the spanking community are speeding the process up, and there is a decent chance that I have attended my last spanking party, but one thing is for sure, I’m pretty convinced my blog will always be here 🙂
I am glad your Blog will always be here. So will I.
Richard – good find, and glad to hear you’re planning to stick around. (By the way, although Chicago Spanking Review isn’t technically a blog, it has been around since 2004, making it as far as I know the second-oldest spanko site out there after The Spanking Blog).
Happy birthday! I must say that getting older is awful, though, and like you my interest in spanking is waning. Right now I can’t imagine ever attending another spanking party. My only advice is to find something good in your life if you can and hang onto it as tightly as possible.
Web-ed,
I was not aware of your longevity online so I will definitely mention that the next time. Perhaps tomorrow I will provide an update on my future plans. For the spanking community it is good news as this blog will be here for years to come, however, the party scene is likely to disappear altogether for me. Traveling and my vanilla Youtube channel are my outlets now that require most of my time.
Rich
