Having a fabulous September 11, remembering the terrible, horrible time when George W. Bush was President. The World Trade Center came down during his reign. He was President, OK? Blame him, or don't blame him, but he was President. When you talk about George Bush, I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time. Not one Trump Airlines plane was hijacked, that day or EVER! Very, very safe. And now I'm keeping America safe. Have a good time, everybody. #NeverForget911 pic.twitter.com/erycJgj23r

Hillary will be running for President again, it seems, and is already starting with the smarminess and cluelessness.

"Clinton is right: Sanders' attacks on her character fed the same narrative as Trump's"
So... Attacking character is wrong, she says as she attacks Bernies' character.(?wtf?)

"And she's right that running on the Democratic ticket when you're not a Democrat isn't just hypocritical, it can be incredibly damaging. For one thing, it gives a candidate a platform to trash the very party he says he wants to lead."

What? Trash the party and the person who STOLE funds and support from you? God forbid!

Blaming Sanders for HER loss!?!?! Unbelievable and oh, so 'deplorable'.

She is (again) trying to push Sanders out of the race (I gather she also believes she has no chance against him if they both run an honest election race).

She and her yes men are so clueless, and it appears that CNN is ramping up to support her in her defiling Bernie.

"This is because among some factions of the left -- Sanders loyalists, newly minted socialists -- being a liberal is just as bad as being an anti-gay pro-gun anti-choice tax-slashing administrative-state-dismantling deep-red congressman who moonlights as a Breitbart columnist."

"Is that Sanders' fault? No. (And indeed, the ascendance of his brand of socialism in the United States is long overdue.) But his attacks on the Democratic Party helped set the stage for this thoroughly dysfunctional, and ultimately destructive discourse."

So, he was right and she was wrong, but let's support her even though she ran the dysfunctional and destructive leadership run (again, she STOLE resources from Bernie when he was Leading!)

I guess I mostly blame CNN for this tripe and their support of Hillary. They are again backing a loser who still won't take ownership for the loss.
She isn't to blame: she hasn't a clue.

Shamefull. Unbelievable.

Deplorable.

Javier Palomarez, thank you for your service! Believe me, I understand why you quit. I wish you hadn't, but I understand. Sometimes, with a multitude of issues going on, you don’t choose the right people. That's what happened when I chose Jeff Sessions. Big mistake! You can make a mistake in deals, and you work it out. When you're President, you make a mistake, there is nothing to work out. You know it's trouble. It could be big trouble. Trouble for lots of people, potentially. Picking Sessions was my biggest mistake. I had no idea he would recuse himself from the Russia investigation. Sessions should have never recused himself, and if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me before he took the job, and I would have picked somebody else. And I had no idea he would cancel DACA. He did it behind my back. And he laughed about it. He thinks it's funny. It's not funny. Believe me, it's a big problem. For our fine young people. Our wonderful, wonderful dreamers. Our young illegals, thousands of people. And maybe a problem for our economy. Which Congress can fix. Which I'm counting on Congress to fix. Believe me, I do not favor punishing children, most of whom are now adults, for the actions of their parents. I'd love to fire Jeff Sessions, but my hands are tied. My hands are too big. And if I fired Sessions, it could blow up in my face. Because of the Russia thing. Javier, you did a terrific, terrific job at the National Diversity Coalition for Trump. I never forget my minority voters. Without the minority vote, I wouldn't have been elected. I never, never forget that. And I'll never forget your service. Good job!

Looking for this article about high dynamic range:

Netflix confirms HDR compatibility with Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and LG V30

Found this article with some nice historical and technical details:

Believe the Hype: HDR Is the Real Deal

HDR seems like a bigger deal than 4K for games with moody atmospherics or stealth mechanisms, as well as certain films. I doubt it will die and recede into the background like 3D did.

Okay, I'm going to preface this entry with saying that this one is quite personal and embarrassing. It's a little more graphic than the other entries, but for the most part you all have been very supportive of my adventure and I use this space as a place to get stuff that is on my mind out. This place is also 99% men, so I feel that this place is like a brotherhood. Please be nice.

So I've been on a bit of a roll with regards to dating lately. The last entry I mentioned a girl that I had seen that I was on the fence about. I ended up deciding not to see her again. About a week later, I was able to line up another date with a raging feminist. She has green hair, and is very smart and very cute. She has been on again off again working towards a degree in women's history and feminism for the last quite a few years. I quite like her, and as of this entry, we have had 2 dinner/drink dates that have gone quite well. On the second date, we went for dinner and then walked around the part of the city where she lived. I have lived in my city my entire life, but had never visited the area where she lived. It was a very warm night with heavy smoke in the air from the forest fires burning in BC. The streets were oddly quiet, and it felt almost magical to me. She took me to a lookout with a view of downtown and we smoked a little weed and made out for a bit.

The next day, I tried to line up a third date, and she said that she will be busy for the next couple weeks with a course that is pretty intense that she is enrolled in. It makes me a little nervous to have such a long break at the beginning of a relationship because it's too frequnt that things just drift apart before they even get going. Anyways, we'll see what comes of it.

I was also able to line up a date last night with another girl. The plan was to go mini golfing and then come back to my place and order dinner and drink some wine. Cute girl, and we got along pretty well. We came back to my place and talked for a bit. She was basically looking for a fuck buddy. That works for me, and it's been a very long time since I've had proper sex. She didn't want to have sex last night because she wasn't on birth control (I always use condoms anyways, but it doesn't hurt to be extra safe). We started making out and moved to the bedroom and got undressed.

Sorry, this is about to get graphic, but I feel it's necessary to set the scene...

I love small tits. Love them. Her tits were great. Probably a large A cup with nice nipples. We make out some more and after a while I start going down on one of the sweetest pussies that I have ever had the pleasure of sticking my tongue in. Absolutely delicious. I'm doing my thing and she's making encouraging sounds, and then I changed the rhythm and lost it. I continued licking away for another 6-7 minutes, but the orgasm had got away. All the while I'm with this woman, my dick was dead. It would not wake up at all. It was just limp and lame. I felt humiliated. Even though we weren't going to have sex, I wanted to leave her with the memory of my hard cock, but instead I'm sure I'll be remembered as the guy that ruined her orgasm and couldn't get it up. Fuck. My. Life.

After that, she asked what time it was (just before 9:00) and then she said that she had to go because she had an early morning spin class. She got dressed and was gone within 5 minutes.

That was my far the most humiliating sexual experience I have ever had. I had even cut back on jerking off to try avoid a situation like that, but yet my body let be down. It's unfortunately not the first time I've had problems with a new partner. My nerves get the best of me sometimes, and the problem goes away once I'm more comfortable with the woman. I guess this one hit me extra hard because she was looking for one thing -- a fuck buddy -- and I couldn't deliver on that one thing.

So all last night and today I've been mentally beating myself up. I feel like a total pathetic loser. I'm pretty damn sure I'll never hear from her again.

I don't know what to do at this point. I don't want to humiliate myself like that again. In hindsight, I should have made less of a deal over my own shortcomings and just focused on pleasuring her. I think I made things more awkward then they could have been.

I'm tempted to just take a bit of a break from searching for dates to take some time to build my confidence back up again. I still might have a third date with the other girl, so I'll go with whatever that brings, but I'm not sure I want to try find anyone new at the moment. Since the birth of our baby, my wife and I still haven't really been able to have good sex. I think I should focus on getting that area of my life back on track and maybe once I feel confident with my wife again, some of that confidence will overflow to my other relationships.

Fuck me.
