First First Anniversary

Was only a few posts back that I noted my 400th entry on this site.

Now I see Down On My Knees is celebrating a false 1st anniversary.

That is what the list of monthly archives say.

Actually many of the earliest entries appeared on a Blogger blog (Submissive Somethingoranother). Normally I wouldn’t mess with Blogger.

(Note to the bunch of you who have Blogger blogs. Way back before Pyra Labs sold it to Google I had three of them. In those days there was no reliable commenting system and if Blogger’s servers went down you couldn’t add a new entry. After evaluating the then current options, setting up Graymatter and a few others I went for MovableType from a very young SixApart. Anymore I can’t imagine writing without being able to have my words in a MySQL database on my servers, using software that is under my control. So don’t take the above as a swipe against Blogger.)

Alexandra and I had been exchanging vast amounts of email every day. (This is before my evolving love for her won me over to using a chat client.) I wanted to be able to share images and to write about situations without it being an exchange per se.

So I wrote scenarios, many short, none long. The bulk of what I wrote then is archived in the “Sketches” section. Almost all of it written in late 2004 before we actually met.

Later I’d buy this domain and setup weblog software. That anniversary is down the road.

This site expanded my conversations with Alexandra and my interior monologues to include the rest of you.

My very first website was created as an extension to the personal ads I was running at the time. I could say, voila, here’s who I am. Later when I started thinking kinky I added two more: one each for my submissive and dominant aspects.

Why more people who use the web in an effort to meet people is something that baffles me.

Unless you feel that you are little more than an ambulatory penis or cunt a website or weblog is a good and nowadays easy way to introduce yourself.

NB: you submissive guys. You are busy telling some anonymous woman that you’ll “do anything” or sharing those special fetishes that you’ve deluded yourself into thinking she’s been waiting to hear about. She’s just hitting the delete key as quickly as she can.

Startling truth: she’s probably looking for an individual, maybe even one who is - oops! - a man. So write about yourself. Though if “watching TV” is your idea of a real hobby well …

I enjoy keeping this site going. I like communicating. Can’t imagine having a lover who doesn’t enjoy talking. Tried that once. He was a dazzling cutie. But his mouth wasn’t good for much other than fellatio. Too boring.

What was I talking about? Oh right, this is an anniversary. Of sorts.
