Introducing – Me!

Hi – welcome to my world!

As this is supposed to be a blog about my kink life, I will leave it to my posts to cover that. However, there is a bit more to me than just my kink, so this is a quick introduction to me in the “real world”

I am a gay man – living in Ottawa, Canada. I am a smidge further along in my life journey (I was born the year my home and native land turned 100 – feel free to Google to solve that “riddle”) and I have been lucky to have lived in several great cities and travelled to a number more. I love to travel – I used to be lucky enough to do it for work, but now I mostly travel for pleasure.

I was born in Ottawa, but moved away for roughly 30 years for work, to pursue my dreams and be more independent. I am happy I did and I think it has made me more broad minded and given me insights that serve me well. In 2017 for a variety of reasons I returned to live in my hometown – Ottawa. It has not been without frustrations – Ottawa is a desperately sleepy and dull city (the city seems to always want to stay within very narrow lines, drawing outside them just never seems to occur), but it is and always will be my home town.

I have never been gifted with good athletic ability – nor the internal drive to change that – with one big exception – ROWING. I discovered this sport – or “lifestyle” – in my 20’s and I fell in love. Over the years I have participated more and less, but it has always been a passion I have loved and it always draws me back. If you saw me you would understand that I am not built to be a rower – I am too short – and will never be a champion, but I have found a niche where I can thrive and find true joy in my accomplishments.

I started my work journey in finance/banking – I had a favourite uncle who I admired and sought to emulate. However it was not a good fit for my personality and I switched to working in management accounting for a hotel. Looking back over my work journey the years in that job were among my happiest – the work was interesting and challenging in a good way and most important I worked in a great environment with really good people who became not just my work friends, but also my friends. Y2K offered me an opportunity to take a new branch in that work journey when I switched to a technology path. That is the one I am still on – though through those 20+ years it has twisted through testing, development, training/education (probably my favourite) and implementation/configuration/optimization consulting. I have become more jaded of late and some of the challenges that I would have embraced early in my life are now a cause for frustration, but I have also learned that I am not my work and maybe I have established a better work-life balance.

Okay, I have babbled on long enough with my stream of conscience. Hopefully somewhere in this mass of words are a few pearls of wisdom about me and that explain that other kinky world that I enjoy so much.

Thanks for visiting, for read and please feel free to share! I wish that everyone is able to be healthy and to enjoy this great gift that we are all given – our life journey.

Cheers!!!
