I just got to enjoy a special independence day treat. It turns out I can see my city fireworks from my "office" window. I'd thought about going out to see them in person from the park that's just a few blocks away, but I'm pretty much on my own this weekend and didn't feel like struggling through the crowds, or sitting by myself in the middle of a huge throng. It's a nice show up close, but sometimes the people really get to me. Last time I went out I was sitting right in front of a family with a kid who had to announce the launch of every firework in the show. As soon as he could see the trail of light and smoke snaking up into the sky, he'd shout "there's one!" or "there's two!", "and another one!" over and over again. Rather than encouraging him to just enjoy the show quietly, his parents were egging him on by telling him whenever he missed one. I'm all for a little oohing and aahing when a nice explosion goes off, but shouting every time you see one launch?

If you want to know the dirty truth behind this site, I'll let you in on the secret inspiration that got me to put this thing together. See, the truth is, my girlfriend has been out of town for the past couple of weeks, and she's going to be away for another few weeks more before I get to see her again. She's off visiting family for the summer, a thousand miles away, leaving me sitting here twiddling my thumbs. Well, I guess I've been doing a bit more than that, if you know what I mean.

Masturbation is a part of my life even when she's around, but when she's away it's definitely a daily thing. The funny thing is, we can go a couple of days without having sex and it's no big deal, but once she's been gone for more than a day I just get hornier and hornier. The loneliness seems to intensify it, I guess, until I feel like I need to masturbate at least once, if not two or three times a day, to keep from getting edgy and wanting to drool over every woman I see.
