a little reminder of just how amazing the world is

have you gotten out in nature lately?

not just outside

but in nature

not just a little park

but out IN it...

I highly suggest you do....

the occasional tithe...

ok i love random gifting...

I went rock climbing yesterday and I was putting some change in the meter

as I like to do when I use a meter I let any random change that falls out of my hand just lay where it lies

a very small gifting to be sure...but it's fun to just not be so attached to things and let them roll away into another persons world

on this particular day I had grabbed a pretty big handful of change from my car and I was having fun with it...letting the change just fall all over the place as I ferreted out the quarters for the meter

"hey" says an amicable voice behind me " your change is falling all over man"

i turn to face the voice and find a very big smile in the form of the fellow who attends the parking lot next to the gym

"I know" I say "It's something that I do on purpose...like a small way to give back"

"oh" he says looking a bit puzzled

"it's like at a church you know how they have tithing ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tithing ) ?"

he nods

"well this is like that...except since I don't have a particular church I belong to I try to just tithe to ...you know..." I sort of vaguely wave my arms in the air "the BIGGER church...if you see what I mean..."

he nods again smiling even larger "oh OK ..that's COOL"

"Thank you!" I respond "this is just a little version of it... I try to mix it up and do different things"

"That's cool bro...right on" he says and walks back to his little house

I go back to the car and get my climbing gear. I see a dollar bill on the floor of my car mat. A lost orphan, washed up on the shores of my fiscal river. I grab it and turn to the face of the rock gym. It has some stonework on the front face that was perfect for my cause.

I took the bill and did some quick origami work, trying to make it so it looked like the bill was stuck to the rock, an enticing eye catcher, waiting to be plucked off by the happy hands of some passer-by.

My friend ventured forth again to ask " oh is that another one you are doing?"

"Yep, you motivated me with your acknowledgment bro" I said " though this one is not going so well..."

Then I had an ah-ha moment, moved to the corner of the building and found a few small rocks and used them to hold the bill against the lip of the rock...One two three...Wah-la!~

"that's cool man...I do things like that too" he said "not exactly like that but you know giving and things like that"

"it's a big world bro...helps if we keep things moving and flowing around and share when we are able" (just my opinion but it seems to work)

"Yeah and then it comes back to you bigtime" he ventured knowingly.

"true, though I find that the less you think about that part, the more smoothly it comes around" I added

"word to that" he said smiling again "that's cool..."

We traded names and then my friends arrived, parked in his lot and we went in to rock climb.

A small tithe...but a fun one...

Looking for a good Printer for a Shirt Printing job

contact me at captainerotica@gmail.com or 415 302 7032

ask for Evrett

pool

he swims in a pool of his own design
not the opal shaped bean style
nor the sharp lines of someone else's rectangle
it isn't an oreo shape most above-grounds emulate
this pool is twisty
with languid lines
that dash beneath fronds
who dare to dip a toe
into these wildly swirling waters


he does laps
he dives down deep
he grasps from the bottom
things he might keep
if they make it
back up to the surface side
sometimes they wriggle too much
d
r
o
p
down and re-hide
beneath his kicking feet
but when he gets one up
it sure tastes sweet

he is naked at best
water strokes his skin
he can still feel the shock
from when he dove in
held lightly
by a swirling mass
he exhales bubbles
they all catch sparkles
from the sunbeams
relentless parade in the sky

arms stroke the surface
feet dance wild
waves are created
from major to mild
from under the water
the world looks quite blurred
he feels like a martini
shaken~ not stirred....

anyone have a 10x10 pop up shade I can borrow/rent?

I need to borrow a 10x10 pop up shade structure for next week July 15- 19th

anyone want to lend me one in either trade for some goodies we can cook up
or
if need be $50 bucks

it's only going to Monterrey to a bike race called The Sea Otter Classic
very chill environment ...not taking it to the desert or anything ;o)

anyone have one they can spare?

drop me a line

A kind welcome to the denizens of Facebook

Having just outed myself as Captain Erotica to all the old friends I have found on Facebook...I am feeling a sense of irony

how much more fun if I had been able to do so when tribe was flush with live and vibrancy

I feel like I am introducing an old lover to a group of friends at my reunion...

these days tribe is a shadow of it's former self...but none-the-less tribe is an INCREDIBLE place the ONLY social network that has such lax rules on personal self expression....

only on tribe could captain erotica exists and flourish over the past 6 years...

Captain Erotica is an Erotic Super Hero.. He is the full culmination of my degree in theatre arts at ucsc. Little did most of my fellow theatre arts majors know that I was a fledgling dominant studying the erotic arts of power exchange in parallel to my studies of acting and Directing. (directing in particular is a fantastic thing to study to learn how to be a good dominant...both a director and dom must be good at reading people and helping them find their maximum potential at whatever task they are set to perform)

Captain Erotica has taught/coached/played with/performed for and created events for literally thousands of people over the past 10 years. His main themes are

~Everyone has a right to express their erotic selves (even if it is just during a fantasy role play with a consenting adult)

~Kink and Power Exchange aspects of Eroticism have (an understandably) cliche place in our culture and yet they also have very many positive elements which can be both beneficial and fun

~For example -
~~S&M turns out to also be "energy work" similar to massage in a metaphoric sense...
~~ "Bondage" and "Sensory Deprivation" can be tools for meditation
~~ Dominance-Submission role play is a fantastic tool for spiritual guidance and teaching

These are a few things that I have worked on opening people up to, along with excellent communication in all matter erotic and otherwise.

Only on tribe could I have both my blog and my links to all the spiritual/kinky/fun people from around the globe and all their fun personal expresssion

Only on tribe could I post the mostly r but to some people very x xx and xxx photos that I have in my album alongside the shots of nauture and amazing places I have been and pics of me any my friends

so...while the past year of tribe has been SUPER dull compared to the preceeding years.. I do humbly invite any of you who were brave enough to visit here from Facebook to poke around my profile if you REALLY want to know me and see what I have been up to during my 30's...

in particular you should visit:

my photo album -

my blog index of most popular blogs

and

my testimonials - so you can hear what others have to say rather than just what I have to say

all of these can be accessed via my homepage on tribe....just backclick and you will see all of the links for those areas... the blog index is located just below my actual blog...it's not a complete index but an easy way to find some gems amidst the 700+ blog entries I have posted...

ok Hope it dosen't freak you out too much.. (ah hell if it DOES then I am happy for as a lifelong Thespian (albeit with a rather unorthodox stage) I am not concerned only with making you happy or comfortable.. I am concerned with making you FEEL DEEPLY..)

hope you enjoy yourself

if you have questions

facebook me or

captainerotica@gmail.com is the quickest way to communicate with me

I'm going to (once again) try to revivify my tribe presence..thanks to a poke from a few portland friends and others...

so (cross your fingers)

a few more blogs will be comin down the pike soon...

namaste

~Captain Erotica~

now I am a surfer~ conquring your fears

I am here to inspire you...

here to tell you that you CAN overcome your fears...

even the deepest most darkly rooted fears

even the ones that you cannot understand

the ones that make no sense...

I've always been afraid of sharks since I saw the movie Jaws

It's one of only two really big, give you the heebie jeebies fear that I have...

The other one being in the middle of the ocean, in the water, next to a giant ship that is sinking, just about to pull you down with it...

So.. suffice to say that I have not been much of an ocean guy this lifetime..

In spite of living in santa cruz for the better part of 14 years and in living in san francisco for 4 years.. I have only been in the water
to try my hand at surfing three times. Once I rode a large longboard while lying down...but I have never stood up and ridden a wave.

Two other times I have been taken out in the water. Both times I had two major problems. 1st and foremost was my inability to read the waves themsevles.. to time things so I caught the wave

Second and the deep rooted cause of the first, is my fear of sharks...constantly on my mind...always wondering if those sharp teeth would pull me into the water.

Granted I am a double fire sign with an airsign moon so ....water does have it's challenges for me...

Anyway - yesterday and today.. I finally

Actually

Surfed

For hours..

And I caught many waves...

And I rode many of them a long way...

It was even a little chilly for hawaii...and a little cloudy...

but I caught the waves

and in the blue clear shallow waters of waikiki

I did not think of sharks

I had told myself beforehand that this was the time to overcome that fear... to face it and just go out in the water

it was very cathartic on many levels...

I was not only not afraid of sharks or of the waves - true it's because the waves here are tiny and cute for the most part

I was able to be strong and use my rock-climbing muscles and endurance to paddle for 3 hours and then get up this morning and do it again...and we're going out again in a few hours..

I was able to focus on the timing... and (again thanks to the perfect, slow wave here at waikiki)

YUM

Delicious

I am super hooked

I want to travel the globe - find amazing rocks and climb them... then go to beaches and surf

These are things that keep one in shape

That focus the mind

That bring one in touch with nature

As I aproach the apex of my life.. the tipping point of the end of my 40th trip around the sun..EarthSurfer that I be...

I give great thanks for these two activities - rock climbing and surfing.. for though I am merely an acolyte at both of them

I am so happy with how much they put me in touch with myself

They are like sex with nature.. Making love with yourself...

Being Deeply in the Body

Is a great gift

I am thankful

I hope that you are also embracing your fears and making love with yourself in ways that nourish your soul

~Namaste~

Hawaii Here I Come!

Ok finally at long last I am going to go to hawaii

I am going with kenbrah my best and oldest friend (as in he and I have known each other 20 years not as in he is the oldest friend I have)

we land in oahu this friday night...

spend 4 days chillin and surfing in honolulu

then we head over to maui where we are trekking around, camping, and staying in a superfat resport for at least one night

in contrast to my normally well planned adventures.. I am fully winging this one

really loving NOT getting everything all pre-set

so if you have any peeps on oahu or maui that we should visit...we are two healthy, happy handsome bro's who will shower apprecitation on anyone who might hook us up with a place to stay or a place to visit that is cool or any sort of fun event to attend...
