Wet Wednesday

After an incredibly dark day yesterday, things seem a little brighter today for some odd reason.  I think yesterday's venture into depression was a reaction to the overload of stress from events of the last couple of months.  As usual, I will pick myself up and move on from here despite the fatigue generated by my mental malaise.

To this end, I have a marvelous play list for your Midweek Musical Moment compiled by You Tuber Anmol Rai.  His video description reads as follows:

For more beautiful music, check out the compilation of some of the greatest hits from The Piano Guys over on my tumblr.

Then what would a day at Nichevo be without some breath taking eye candy for your viewing pleasure.  Today's Wet Wednesday collection of Fine Art in the Male Form should have you ready to hit the beach to splash about with any one of these guys.  If that is not enough wonderful wetness for you, check out the Wet Dream Hottie of the Day! over on my tumblr.  Thanks for bearing with me, see you again soon.  Until next time as always, Enjoy!

Writer's Block or Depression?

It has been a difficult writing week for me.  Not a whole lot in the news has incited rant, rave or comment from me (excepting yesterday's Porno Pete adventures).  Sometimes it is just like that, a writer looks at a blank page and instead of his (or her) mind filling up the page with words, the page fills their mind with blankness.  I would hazard a guess that this is some form of writer's block, but then again, maybe it is an early warning sign of a bought of depression.  I can't really tell you anything for sure.  All I really know is that I have struggled all week to fill in the blanks on a daily basis.  Luckily, there has been the Music and the Men to save the day.  I have now gathered close to 150,000 images which are stored on my HDD and access to more Music to which I can listen at any one time.  Perhaps the joy of sharing the beauty found both in Classical Music and the Art of the Male Form makes up for the lack of any pithy commentary I can come up with.  At least I certainly hope so. 

All that being said, I reached back in my play list archive for this beautiful set of 8 Sonatas for Viola d'Amore and Harpsichord by Domenico Scarlatti.  Included are Sonatas K77-80, K88, K89, K90 and K91.  The performance is by Valerio Losito on a 1775 Guadagnini Viola d'Amore and Andre Coen on a replica of a 1620 Italian Harpsichord.  You may also hear 6 Sonatas for Guitar, Cello and Harpsichord by Francesco Geminiani over on my tumblr.

The collection of photographic Art in the Male Form today contains photographs that do not necessarily fit into one or another of my regularly used themes.  However each photograph is striking, sensual or sexy (or any combination thereof) in their own way.  Thus we have this assortment of Random Hotness on display below the play list.  There is also the Hottie of the Day! over on my tumblr for more inspiration and admiration.  Thanks for the visit, see you again tomorrow.  Until next time as always, Enjoy!
