Random thoughts. Some of them will be erotic and kink-related, but some of them won't be, and as such people might find them boring. Some will be related to personal fantasies, but some to personal experiences as well.

The Difference between a kinkster and a pervert is this:

 

She is hot, beautiful, long dark hair, wearing boots and a short skirt, standing in the aisle at the store.  May even be a co-worker, or someone he knows casually.  A kinkster would think dirty thoughts to himself about how it would feel if she were the one who administered some much needed "discipline" on him.  But then, have the common decency to keep those thoughts to himself.

 

A pervert, on the other hand, would actually walk up and ask her to tie him up and spank him.

 

Its not necessarily wrong to have naughty thoughts. Rather, it's all in the way you deal with these thoughts. With dignity and respect for others and for one's self.

 

MUSIC CORNER:  Ozzy Osbourne "Diary of a Madman."

This was only his second solo record, which came out in 1981, and in my opinion he never topped it, in all the years (and over a dozen albums) since. What made this album so great was one thing:  The guitar work was phenominal and unsurpassed.  Randy Rhodes, just 24 years old when he recorded this record, was already a veteran of a couple different bands when he joined up with Ozzy two years prior, but this was the pinnacle of his greatness, largely because he would not live long enough to record another record.  Though, in interviews prior to his death in 1982, he had already expressed a desire to leave Ozzy's band and perform more classical music-inspired guitar works.  One wonders what those works would have sounded like, and sadly we will never know.  On "Diary..." it isn't just the riffs which are classic, almost each and every one of them. But it's the subtle touches he puts into them- a quick scale run here, an open harmonic there, a subtle bend here, and a quick three note solo at the end of the measure- that give the tracks that brilliance.  And his solos are untouchable.  He never overdoes it, like so many other shred-metal guitarists who came after- guys like Yngwie Malmsteen, MichaelAngelo Batio, or Herman Li, who were, perhaps faster and more technically gifted than Randy, but who never quite had the knack for restraint, or for composition and melody.  What can I say, every song on this thing is a keeper.  Opener "Over the Mountain" is one of the most epic metal crunching tracks of all time, as is "S.A.T.O. ("Sailing Across the Ocean") while the heavy riffs of "Flying High Again" and "Believer" are just epic. Even the mellower tunes like "You Can't Kill Rock N' Roll" and "Tonight" are stunning, largely because Rhodes's guitar work is so impeccable.  So, what can I say...40 years later, this album is still one of my top favorite metal albums of all time.  I have no beef with any of the other players who slung a guitar for Ozzy: Jake E. Lee and Zakk Wylde were both great, even that live Black Sabbath covers album he did with Brad from Night Ranger- all of these guys were great players, but in my opinion Rhodes just had something special with the way he played and composed those songs that the other guys just didn't have.  So, Ozzy's clearly getting up there in age these days- aren't we all- but I still have much love and respect for the old man.  He was a part of my musical formative years, and always will be, even if his later stuff was never quite as electrifying as this second album was.

Thanks for reading.  "Lets go fucking crazy!   I love you ALLLLLL!!!!"
