Today is the 8th birthday of this blog.

Wow time flies, I was reading through some of my first posts and I remember what I was doing like it was yesterday.  Saying that, a lot of water has gone under the bridge.

The Evil Speedo Corporation suing me for promoting speedo style swimwear was a big event for sure.  That is the only major mainstream press I’ve ever had and seeing my name in the paper was pretty kewl.  Speedo won the court case but had no way of implementing the ruling.  The funny thing is, the boost in visitors was off the charts.

Meeting readers of this blog has definitely been a highlight – be it for naughty speedo fun or just a cup of coffee.  There are also other bloggers who I consider friends that I wouldn’t have met without starting this blog.

Because of the support of readers joining my site SwimmerBoyz.com, I’ve been able to keep this free and relatively advertising free – I have never resorted to a pop-up banner and I hope I never have to.  I hope I can keep this free as well.

I love the feedback I get from you guys.  Occasionally I’ll post something a little more controversial and I love the different opinions that are shared.

Here are some stats:

• 2,920 Days
• 1,826 Posts
• 5,836 Comments
• 3,325 Photos

That is about all I have to say, 8 years down, hopefully a lot more to come.

Speedo on!!!

You guys know I enjoy my politics BUT all these darn Romney and Obama commercials are getting a bit too much…. and there is a long way to go.

One of the talking points this last week is on abortions.  I’d consider myself a republican (maybe more of a libertarian) – and republicans want smaller government and in general we want government to butt out of our lives.  Why the fuck then are a bunch of old white men telling women what they can and can’t do with their bodies?

Does anyone else think that is an oxymoron?  And I love the way they stand on the bible while they spill this dribble (I’m not talking so much about the candidates as much as I’m talking about the extreme points of view).

They spill the same dribble when it comes to who you and I choose to sleep with.

I saw this posted on a blog that I read and thought it was funny and I hope it is true.

In her radio show, Dr. Laura Schlessinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.

The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet. It’s funny, as well as informative:

Dear Dr Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination … End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God’s Laws and how to follow them.

1.  Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of Menstrual uncleanliness – Lev. 15:19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord – Lev. 1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this? Are there ‘degrees’ of abomination? Should I smite him?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev. 24:10-16. Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I’m confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging.

Your adoring fan.

P. S. It would be a damn shame if we can’t own a Canadian.

Thanks for all your comments recently guys!!!

I read all your comments and I try to reply to most of them.

I posted the 2nd speedo photo below a week or more ago and this morning I was going through some stuff and found another photo that looks like it was taken about 30 seconds earlier….  These guys are packing some nice sausage.

In April 2005 I started this blog.  Now 4 and a half years later I’m writing my 1,000th post.

You guys have left me 2,808 comments (which I love reading).

I didn’t keep statistics from the beginning of the blog but in the last 12 months there have been 2.25 million readers (over 6,000 readers a day).

I started writing it because I had an amazing MMF (male/male/female) threesome which really cemented my view that I was bisexual and that I wanted to pursue and explore my bisexuality.

I’m still exploring my sexuality and this blog has been a place where I can openly share my experiences, thoughts and trepidations.

There are a few thanks that I owe….

• Kip who has been my tech off sider.  Nothing would ever work with out him.
• To all those other blogs who share links with me – that is what blogging is all about.
• Will – for a whole bunch of my bisexual experiences.
• My other sexual partners.  Some have known about this blog and some haven’t – I hope I have protected your privacy when it has been required.
• You guys.  Thanks for understanding my need for privacy in keeping some details close to my chest.  Thanks for your feedback and discussion on soooo many subjects.  And special thanks to all those readers who support my ‘commerical sites’ – your support allows me to continue writing this blog and withouth you guys this blog would not exist.

I really have enjoyed writing this blog and I’m looking forward to the next 1,000 posts.
