Give the blob thing some time. I've grown to like it. Every time I get in bed, I think,"I am so damn cushy!"

yer such a girl i swear! :P~

aw, don't worry... you can come and see me again soon! oh wait... you, uh, didn't mean me?! dang.

oh now there are two pretty girls here! we can bitch together about the horrendous conditions of our surroundings. meah! :P~

woohoo!
[thank gawd for shit]

I guess prayer can work! Have a great time and I'll just live vicarously thru your life for a bit!

YAYYYYY!!!!!
A happy ending! Cool!

what a mood swing- i had to pop a xanax!

So, are you and Tassy a "thing" now or are you two just fucking? Is she the girl you wanted to "complete" you a few short months ago? If she is, then fantastic, I hope you two kooky kids have a great life making each other happy. If you're just fucking, though... well, what happened to the happily ever after part? Did you give up on it?

don't bogart the xanex brent.

Good Lord. Sometimes I really want to go off on some people, but then I remember, this is not my blog, and unfortunately your readers aren't stupid. So they probably know what "malevolent","invidious", and "meddlesome" mean.

Ain't it funny how life turns out? : )
Enjoy the hotel...and spread a little of that surprising luck my way!

maybe the girl tmj needs to complete him is one that will fuck him into forever. :P

i'm *so* the girl for that job.

Will there be more photos?

Mmmmmm, I loved the last photos.

AWW.

I like San Jose, airports, coffee, and the coffe at San Jose Airport! We'll agree to disagree.

ya know, if i were a sensitive type, a stranger just up and asking me "are you and Tassy a 'thing' now or are you just fucking?" could really be considered rude and offensive and might just get someone banned from the blog.

good thing i'm not sensitive, huh?

Yeah, it's totally her business. I don't even think I'd ask someone I KNOW a question like that.

That picture of Tassy in bed? I like that picture. ;-)

The more you reveal about yourself, the more you invite the possibility of someone not knowing where your boundaries are.
The naked photo of Tassy was inviting such a question, especially since you tend to show a lot of your body to quite a few frustrted women on this blog!
PS. I liked the picture, too. Remind me to check my BF's for cameras.

You? Sensitive? Yes. ;-) But dude, you're pretty blunt on your blog, so you'll likely get some blunt questions. Happens. Doesn't mean it's a bad thing.

Love ya still...

It is a bad thing. It's invasive. A writer tells you what he or she wants you to know.

There is nothing wrong with asking a question, but that one in particular could have been posed more delicately. If it had been, she probably would have been given a kinder response.

I agree with your statement, Melly, but I'm also not surprised that not everyone is quite that enlightened. This type of knowledge is something learned over time for many.
I am delighted to see that you are such a graceful person; you are rare.

let me clear a few things up here. i put lots of information out on this site. some of it provocative and intended to illicit a response. i accept the price of sharing my personal life online is that people will HAVE a response.

some will become curious or agitated or critical or even sarcastic. i accept all this. i not only accept it, i encourage it.

but the decision to share risque pictures of tassy is something between me and her. my decision to share anything about our relationship is something between me and her. you all are welcome to question or surmise or laugh or criticise or cat call if you feel so inclined.

this is your right as a reader.

however, my sharing personal information does not give anyone, any of you, the right to be offensive or rude.

that being said, let me state that i was not offended by the comment, but i wanted to bring attention that regardless of it's intent or my feelings about it, the question, or more accurately, how it was asked, was indeed, rude.

it's ok to be curious. just be tactful. it's ok to be critical. just be respectful. it's ok to be provocative. just be polite.

and to answer your questions, yes, there will be more pictures.

and good ones too.

here's what i hear: 'san jose...blah blah blah... tassy - woo hoo, blah blah blah... another reader leaves rude comment, blah blah blah... jimbo spanks us, but not the way i like, blah blah blah..."
damn! did brent bogart the xanax again?
:Þ
xoxoxo

Yay Jimbo! Yay Tassy (aka PGITW)!

:-)

Oh, fer heaven's sake. You might as well say, "Yes, I post about masturbating to online porn, and I post nude pics of my girlfriend, as well as leather pics of myself, and I welcome all comments as long as they're the kind of comments I like to hear, and don't ask me questions about my personal life or imply any sort of accountability...etc." -- at which point you prolly should just close your comment feature or delete the ones you don't like.

My thought is that if you say you welcome comments, then welcome them. Some may be nice strokes, and others may challenge you or even seem offensive. But if you open it up for comments, you'll get comments, dude.

- Beth (who notices this conversation is all about getting bogged down in the language and that Jim hasn't addressed the content of the poster's question -- not that it matters in the grand scheme of things)

sorry beth, but i'm calling bullshit.

(no offense)

my willingness to accept criticism or comments is not an open invitation for people to be rude. my complaint wasn't about content, it was about delivery. and again, i didn't really mind the comment at all. i was just calling her out on the delivery.

ask yourself this, would you accept a stranger asking you that question in person, phrased exactly that way? or would you find it rude? what if that person was wearing leather pants? regardless. it's still rude.

and i am well aware i have not answered the original question.

I warned you about this. I've seen it happen to a lot of attractive, male bloggers. As soon as you so much as post about a date, the claws come out.

Jimbo,

I'm glad that you have found somebody that you like spending time with {who has such a stunning body that I showed the hotel picture to my boyfriend just so that we could share the "DAMN! She looks good"

And if she touches your soul and your loins - more power to you both!

Sincere regards,
Heather {who likes your writing and your photos}

Then get to work boy! Less blogging, more snogging!

Would I accept a stranger's asking me that question? Heck, yeah!

"Rudeness" is arbitrary. If I posted about a relationship and manymany people read it, I'd expect to be asked questions of some sort. I'd be disappointed if people didn't ask questions. I'd even expect to be asked one or two thought-provoking questions. I didn't find the poster's language or delivery rude. I think it's your personal filter that's making it look that way.

Personally, I find those filters way more interesting than anyone's language or delivery.

Your evasiveness is interesting. Sorry if you think that's rude. ;-) You could always do what other bloggers do and just delete the comments you find offensive. But then you'd have fewer readers, because conflict -- intrapersonal and interpersonal -- is interesting. Homogeneity is bland and leads to stagnation.

Hope you feel better soon. Sore throats are yucky.

Get well,
Beth

Let me weigh in here since apparently a few of you are all up in arms and I haven't checked back here since I posted the original comment.

First of all, I was being blunt and not trying to be rude. A few months back, he posted about how he wanted a long term relationship with a future. Now he's posting about how much he and Tassy are fucking. That's all well and good and if that's what they both are after, then more power to them. I was asking if he has abandoned the pursuit of a more long term relatiuonship or if he thinks he may have found that with Tassy.

When you write about your sex life on the internet, you are opening yourself up for questions. If you can't take someone being blunt... well...

I guess Jimbo, or perhaps some of his ass-kissing female readers (which I think may be more the case) would prefer that the comments feature of this weblog only be used to tell Jimbo how wonderful he is all the time. I, for one, enjoy his writing and when I see contradictions, I'm going to call him on it.

i don't see how getting laid makes for a contradiction to what tmj claimed he wanted before. because you're getting some regularly makes it so that you abandon your deepest desires? who ever said that? i don't think anyone expects all the comments here to be happy go lucky and stroking little jimmy's ego - i'm one of the first people to tell him to fuck off - and yup, i'm still fucking him. so let him post what he wants and he'll answer you if he wants.

the end.

for the record, I thought Daniella's was a legitimate question considering the boundaries you set in your writing.

And I thought a legitimate response would be, "That question is too intimate."

Or, "We are enjoying a wonderful path. Who knows where it will lead."

Although, for the record, I also think the question is answered by the way you write about Tassy. Its more than fucking. And you are living "happily" with her in the present.
