Silver Lining
After all was said and done, Hurricane Rita turned out to be blessedly anticlimactic. Possibly due to the prayers of the masses to their various deities; or the appeals of the spiritual to the Universe; or the passionate calls upon Mother Nature for mercy. Perhaps the Powers That Be all put aside their differences and came together to cast divine intervention upon us. It matters not why, only that this beautiful land was mostly spared another brutal ravaging. Houstonions have such huge hearts and give of themselves so freely. I feel they truly deserved this blessing.
I wanted to get some journalist photos of my surroundings but it was too dangerous to be out on the streets. Instead, I snapped some rather unexciting outdoor shots of the patio furniture in the pool and of my neighbours’ taped-over windows. Then as I was taping my own windows, something just struck an artistic nerve about the shadows/lighting/patterns. The results are below and will also be posted to my gallery shortly. I rather like the grainy texture that the natural lighting produced.

The creative results:

You know why I love you? Even in the face of catastrophe, you still find time to pose in your underwear. Seriously, though, I am glad to hear everything is ok.
Oh - Nice ass.

Andria: Even as I was dragging out the tripod I was thinking to myself “Artist or Attention Whore???” probably BOTH.

That’s it; tomorrow I’m back on Atkins so I can one day have an ass as fabulous as yours. If you’re lucky I’ll post a pic on the internet…
Or I could just send it to you.

WCG: For the life of me I don’t see anything wrong with your body. Call me crazy … go ahead, I’ll wait … but seriously, dahling, I know several women who would hate you for the way you look. I mean that in a good way.

Please take me back. I’m so sorry for treating you that way. I promise baby, it will never happen again.

Glad you are alright!…seeing your underwear pics makes me think about why I am on my diet! LOL!…sigh…One day…I will reach my goal.

The third picture reminded me of our searches performed in the prison over the last few days. Although the physical consequences on my part were like night and day.

You know, seeing shots of you in your underwear was the last thing I expected. I thought the focus would be on some kind of human interest story as it relates to the hurricane or something like that. Not that I mind or anything. But I’m glad you’re OK and feeling randy.

Fake? Oh my broken heart.
September 25th, 2005 at 9:59 pm
Um….I seen your booty.
Cheeky monkey.

So Rita wasn’t the only wet woman during the storm, huh?

WOW. What a SHOT.
Maybe I have been in Iraq too long, but your ass still makes me say WOW. Oh wait, I had the same re-action when I was in Houston, so I must not be loosing “it”.
Keep up the fun stuff,
Hugs
