Winter has barely started and I'm already I want summertime!

Happy Anniversary

Weilding the Axe turns six years old today! Happy Blog Anniversary. To be honest, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to mark the milestone. Ian just didn't have the passion this year. I took a long hiatus during the summer and before that posts were rather sparse. Yet! I'm still here. I plugged through and persevered.

My original intent was for this space to be an outlet for the side I don't often show. A place to let my guard down and just chill. Over the years I learned it's the wisest course of action to be totally transparent. Yes, I've had my naysayers, but I didn't start this endeavor to placate everyone else. I've had fun, made some friends along the way, and plain & simple, enjoyed the journey!

 So what does the Blogging  future hold for yours truly? Good question. time is a big factor. When I don't post for long periods, mainly I'm busy. I hope to rectify that in 2013 and as long as I have a few people willing to share in my adventures, share a comment or two, I'll be happy. I'm glad for the few people that do leave comments and give encouragement.

Since I began, more than a few blogs/bloggers that have fallen by the wayside. Good blogs. Still I have a few of my core group I kept in touch with hanging in there with me. I may not always leave a comment, but trust, I still read. LOL. I read more than I publish on my own joint. Again, something to remedy next year.

So for my bros in blogging who've become more like family, Viktor, Pharoah, Corey, Roger, Mardi, Della, and several others, thanks for the support and the brotherly love. For those who've I've fallen out of favor with, I wish you only peace, no malice nor resentment. Life is too damn short to carry grudges. Move on from it. I have.

I've forgiven and charged ahead with LIFE. As a friend often repeats to, the mantra I constantly tell myself when I'm frustrated,  "forgiveness is not about the forgiven. Its truly about the forgiver. By forgiving you let go of the weight holding you back, moving forward. Resentment is like peeing on yourself. It serves no purpose. Only makes you look messy!"

No truer words have been spoken. LOL.

Thanks for walking with me on the journey so far! Now let's see what's around the bend....

2012 Round Up: Part II

Hey Santa!

I love Andrew Christian underwear movies. The videos are always hawt. Enjoy this (uncensored version) Hunky Santa: The Holiday Card courtesy Andrew Christian. Check out the website for more videos and underwear products here:

Tom & the Tumblr Migration

Oh Tom. I don't care what people have said (seen some nasty comments about the young Olympian. Fuck that shit!) you do your thang and enjoy life to the fullest! Do the Mobot. Ha!

Saw this a while back floating across the Blogs/Tumblr. It's cute. I'm recycling some unpublished posts I had save in draft mode. Trying to make up for lost blogging time. Yeah, 2012 wasn't a great year for me writing-wise. I lost my voice and desire for a minute, but got it back last month. I've been quite eager to post for some reason. Maybe because I have more free time on my hands.

 I'll probably make the migration over to a Tumblr blog at some point in 2013. As evident with December, I've done more posting of gifs, clips, and pix than actual thought. I'm still not on track with my thoughts, still not secure in my writing.... So we'll see. I didn't start this blog to be famous (contrary to some people's opinion).

My original intent was only to use it as an outlet, to vent the things that I don't often share with my peers and fam. Has this been a successful venture? Well I laid out my burdens and was able to move on with many issues, yes. Have a encountered a few miscreants along the way? Oh hell yes! But fuck the naysayers. To hell with the haterz! As I'm fond of telling everyone else, "Be YOU, Do YOU! "

Time to take my own advice for 2013.

Caveat Emptor!

Winter Solstice

Happy Winter Solstice!

 If you're reading this, then I guess the Mayans were wrong...LOL.

"Unwrap Me"

Does anyone else remember this Joe Boxer commercial from a few years back? It's a little silly, but cute at the same time. Lord knows we need a little humor this December. Trying to keep it festive this Holiday Season. Praying for those going through the struggle of last weeks events...

Mahalia Jackson Sweet Little Jesus Boy

I couldn't decide what was the better video to post. I definitely want Mahalia in the clip, but in the second video the sound quality is much better. By far this rendition is one of my favorite Christmas carols.

2012 Round Up

My Current Wallpaper

Hot.

David Haye does the Mobot

God, this man is über-sexy!!!!

Doctor Who: The Musical?

Only a couple more days until the Doctor Who Christmas Special. Yay! Can't wait. Hope the plot is decent and super sappy like last year. Well, no Pond cameos this year....I love the fact that even Sesame Street recognizes the popularity of Doctor Who. Trés Cool!

Onward, Good Soldiers

I don't know why, but this picture fascinates me. No, not in a sexy way, but I suppose in some awe inspiring way. I never stopped to think exactly how our troops where transplanted on missions.  

Well, yeah I figured they had to fly, but not packed up like a can of sardines. Wow. Just, wow.

I give much respect to our servicepersons. I takes a lot to fight and die for freedom. I just dunno have the words to convey the feeling at the moment.

Johnny Weir skates to Ave Maria by Josh Groban

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny... OK, while you're a bit over the top sometimes, I RESPECT you and your talent.
