General | Posted 12 years agoEver had sex that was so good that it made your head spin...?
Seems that even after seven and a half years together, we can still very pleasantly surprise each other.

My Hero
General | Posted 14 years ago"Hero" is a term that gets thrown around a lot these days. It is applied to many people for many things. This post isn't in any way intended to diminish or tarnish those that many who read this may consider heroes, but I hope that it will perhaps make people think about what defines a hero.
There are few left alive today who will remember that there once lived a man named Desmond James Butters. But those that do remember the qualities that defined him - he was committed - always confident in his decisions, he was a natural leader and he was an inspiration to everyone who knew him.
Like many young men of his age, he answered his country's call against the tyranny of the Nazi regime. That defined him. He became a pilot, flying Lancaster bombers with the 7th Squadron(Pathfinders), eventually becoming Squadron Leader and earning himself the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) and Bar. That defined him. He spearheaded the airbourne portion of Operation Manna, a British-led operation to bring much-needed food and medical supplies to the starving and oppressed Dutch people in October of 1944. That defined him. He was on a first-name basis with members of the British and Dutch Royal Families. That defined him.
But in addition to all this, he was a committed a dedicated family man. He was a loyal and loving husband to the late Alvis Butters, he was a loving and inspirational father to Tony Butters and he was a wise fountain of knowledge to his two grandchildren and granddaughter-in-law; Duncan Butters, Luke Butters and Nicole Butters. This defined him above all.
"Hero" is a term that gets thrown around a lot these days. But my grandfather was one and that makes him immortal.

Dear
Electronic Arts (EA), maker of the highly popular Star Wars: The Old Republic video game - is the target of a boycott orchestrated by hateful anti-gay groups. Why? Because they had the courage to give players around the world the option of including a gay romance storyline in their interactive Star Wars game.
Right now, thousands of anti-gay letters are flooding Electronic Arts headquarters, threatening to push the company and its staff to the dark side ("Homos are ruining gaming!" wrote one boycotter. "I urge all parents to keep any EA games from their children to prevent them to be AIDS-spreading, Satan-loving scum," wrote another).
But we can do something about it - if we channel the force for good. Companies like Electronic Arts need to be rewarded when they do the right thing. And together we can help them stand their ground. Sign this urgent letter to Electronic Arts (EA) now, asking them to stay strong and resist the dark side. When 50,000 of us sign on, All Out members will make news by dressing as Star Wars characters and delivering your letters directly to Electronic Arts headquarters:
https://www.allout.org/theforce
Video games - like books, magazines, TV and film - are enjoyed by hundreds of millions around the world, and the fictional characters in them often inspire us, and teach us about the world we live in. This is exactly why anti-gay hate groups are targeting them - because they know that the more LGBT people are represented as regular characters, the harder it will be to deny them equality in the real world.
Games from Electronic Arts (EA) reach 100 million players in 75 countres around the world. When a major company like this makes the effort to create gay role models for all players, gay and straight, we need to let them know that we've got their back - especially in the face of an organized hate campaign.
Sign now, and we'll make sure company executives know the force is with them:

Thanks for going All Out.
Best,
Alberto, Andre, Erika, Flavia, Guillaume, Jasmin, Jeremy, Joseph, Oli, Tile and Wesley
