New Orleans is quite the city
It must be beheld in person to truly appreciate it
But here are some stories regardless

Rabbit Dog!!!
Indescribable feeling when I reached the Gulf
Slept on the beach
Waking up to the Sunrise over the water was a perfect moment I'll never forget
I wasn't sure if the tide was gonna rise or not and ruin my sleep in the night
Glad I took the chance
Man's gotta have his tools
Thanks for mailing me my awl Mother <3

Now I can eat coconuts!
Kind of a tense ride but we did not fall.
So long Mississippi!
And into The Bayou!
Hybrid Biome—Bayou-Burbs!
These people have a moat!

Good Mornin' 'Nawlins!
This amazing doggo loves this Rock!
He didn't want to play with sticks or toys or other rocks
He just wanted to lick this one

Blood Moon
So after pushing a man in a wheelchair down the street with one hand
(and Lionheart in the other)
(and Lionheart in the other)
We stop at these steps where a man and a Lady named Rachel I had met the previous day were chatting
I chat with the man in the wheelchair a bit until I overhear the dude speaking rudely to Rachel
He was trying to proposition her for sex by garnering piety
Then getting angry when she didn't fall for it
I told him next time try flowers
Or a box of chocolate
He waved me off and kept at it a bit
Started speaking more aggressively
I told him he aught needs to show Respect to our Sisters
Then go from there
He calmed down a bit and begged her for to kiss the nape of her neck
She agreed—he did—then she left.
I began telling him different respectful ideas to gain the fairer sexes favor
He started getting angry again and told me to
"shut my mouth"
So I reminded him that he must Respect our Sisters
He Just kept saying "shut your mouth"
He was trying to have the last word with that
But I wouldn't let him and it was infuriating him
He got angrier and angrier
Told me "Know your role"
So I said they're all God's Daughters
He claimed if his friends were here they would force me to dance in a thong
(lol wat)
I said, "No. I'd Fight to the Death."
"You'd be dancing in a thong ya' lil' bitch!"
"I'd Fight to the Death. That's what would happen. Besides," I laughed, "They're not here!"
Then he starts saying that I should "suck his cock"
(lol wat)
"That's a special part of you, that you should save for someone that's special to you!
It's better that way!
Besides, we just met."
He goes off again about me sucking his cock
Yeah no thank you
He stands up

I stand up
He gets in my face
Tells me to get on my knees and suck his cock
I'm looking him in the eyes
(Pretty excited to bash his face actually)
and say
"I bow to The Lord
I bow to no man."
And he steps back
and sits back down.

The Infamous Bourbon Street
Great place to people watch
Not as great a place to find actual human connection
Great place to people watch
Not as great a place to find actual human connection
The Waste produced here every night is astounding
The endless alcohol and drunkenness isn't really my idea of a "party"
I have fun interacting with people here though
For example, a dude had found a Lady's Passport and was trying to pawn it off
So I distracted him with some food and tricked him into giving it to me
Then handed it in to the local Police Department

There's lots of art galleries all around The French Quarter
On the way back from taking pictures of Bourbon Street
Another Night Rider snuck up behind me
I greeted him, and he began lamenting how he must now take everything he needs

I said, "Well, as long as you respect our sisters."
He claimed he was a gentleman
Cool!
A Gentleman Thief.
But I could sense The Wolf.

I started pressing ahead
He said to wait up
I told him he had to keep up
With a Sprite and a candy bar in his hand, he said he couldn't
"It's snack time."
I shrugged, "I'm busy."
He throws his drink and Reeses to the ground
"Well LET'S GO!"
Instant Fire
"ALL RIGHT!!"
We both stand and start charging
He's ahead of me by a couple feet
(He had that head start!)
I'm thinking
"No way I'm losing to some WOLF!"
Some people start crossing the street ahead—a group of men with a Lady
He howls at them
I beep
The group of men all double back to the corner
But...

The Lady is in the middle of The Road
I whiz by her on the right
"Watch out ma'am!"
as I fly past
Did the men on the corner slow him?
Perhaps there's a lesson for him there if they did...
I'm just breathing and pumping—focused.
I get to Esplande and a car is going through the intersection.
I don't slow—Just loop a bit
so I just zip by as the car moves forward behind me
Like a Gate closing.
I look behind me
Just before the street goes out of view
The Wolf is puffing and huffing
About a block away.
Then he was gone.
There's the room I built when I was here last time!
So I knocked on Mr. Doemon's door and asked for some aid while I was in the city
His family gave me lots of food and water
This lot was my home for a few days (:

A sizeable storm came through too
Luckily all my stuff (and myself) was nice and dry in this car he let me occupy
Thanks again Doemon!
Hare Krsna!
One of my favorite establishments in the city
I Love open cafes that people can just walk in and out of and chill out at

One of my favorite spots in the city
Neutral Ground
Located in The French Quarter at the crossroads of three different main streets
It's just a patch of dirt and trees
But because it's public property cops don't bother travelers, bums, or anyone hanging out there.
If you ever go to New Orleans
This should be your first spot
Just be sure to bring some food!
Lots of tourists ignore the less affluent travelers spangin' for a buck
But they're usually pretty cool folk
So that's their loss!
She's making some amazing art
Better than just about anything in any of the studios around the city
But most folk
They just don't get it

Not that the established roadside artists aren't real artists or anything
New Orleans' streets are rich indeed
New Orleans' streets are rich indeed
But whether you can make it on these streets or not
Is more dependent on your people skills
(I.e. Your Hustle)
Than the quality of your actual product

The French Quarter is most certainly unique and festive
All year round
All year round
Lots of foot traffic and pedestrian walk ways
Lots of neat shops to check out too all throughout the section
Took this whole series of photos on my way outta town
Hey! I could do that job!
There aren't too many parks in the Quarter
On the outskirts though that's where locals gather
That's where I encountered...
LEVEL ONE: BEAUTIFUL REDHEAD
So I'm sitting on a park bench having a battle with a Demon
When a couple appears and breaks up our battle
I talk to the Lady a bit and craft her a pipe inscribed with, "LADY"
The dude sings some songs
And he's got a great voice!
So I offer a Journal Journey in return
The Lady follows me over to Lionheart
We get to talking and it turns out her and her friend are not a couple
And hey I'm pretty cute
And wow you have nice eyes
And some other pleasant flirting
She wants to hang out later before I leave town
FB friends me
oh boy
So later I'm contemplating where the line of acceptable connection and interaction is
Y'know—if one is trying to Wait
Or not "cheat"
Like we had a flirtatious exchange no harm no foul
What if we hung out
What if we shared Stories
Feelings
Bodies
Intimacy
Where's Love?
When may I share myself?
How may I give it and how do I invalidate everything I am saying and stand for?
Where's The Line!?
Anyways, instead of messaging her I just cried all night alone
Not a glamorous victory but I'll take it
As I left the city
I sent her a message explaining why I hadn't reached out before
See ya Lady

There's a downtown area too but it's really not the highlight of this city at all!
Doesn't matter what I think
I know what I feel
I know what I feel
The Fruit or The Color?
Whatever I Love 'em both
Whatever I Love 'em both
LEVEL TWO: TRAVELER THAT REMINDS ME OF HER
I shared some food I'd found with her and got her name
We talked for a bit
She ended up eating just about all the food
And I gave the rest to a homeless dude.
The next night I encountered her again
(At The Neutral Ground!)
She seemed upset so I gave her a back massage

That was enough to win her affections
Huehuehue
"Sorry Lady, you're Beautiful, but I'm trying to win back my Lost Loves, so I'm basically invincible right now."

"Sorry Lady, you're Beautiful, but I'm trying to win back my Lost Loves, so I'm basically invincible right now."
She went on a Journal Journey
And understood.
And understood.
There's more than just the French Quarter!
This is Magazine Street!
Mostly middle class locals 'round this area

LEVEL THREE: REALLY COOL GAL THAT I VIBE WITH
She came by The Neutral Ground too and also got a back massage
'Twas a fine how-do-ya-do
(I gave some dudes back massages too fyi!)
She ran off and I started jumping around doing some martial arts
I started talking about it with one of the traveler guys there and he mentioned he'd been training for thirteen years
Teach me something senpai!!!

So he shows me his kick
I tell him,
"In Muay Thai we take turns kicking each other in the thigh for conditioning."
I invite him to kick my thigh
*donk*
Invite him to do so again
*donk*
Invite him to kick at me again
But this time, I inform him,
"I'm gonna show ya something."
He throws out his kick but this time I parry it with my shin
Pushing forward to off-balance him
In that same motion
As he's wincing from the shin-to-shin smash
I come down on his head with a DEVASTATING ELBOW
Except I stop an inch from his head
'Cause that could kill him
lol gg
I teach him a couple more moves 'til he runs off with his bud
The cool gal returned at some point during this and hands me a water
Woah.
Water.
At this point I'm sweating and this is all I need.
Water.
As I drink it now feeling especially grateful
I know I'm in trouble...
She's about to walk to her car and I know I must escort her
(It's like 3am or something now)
Honestly though the Gorgeous Redhead was the hardest level so we just talk about the difference between businesses and non-profits and not letting money corrupt our souls and such
Share a hug and she drives away.

gg New Orleans
VICTORY!!!
VICTORY!!!
I'm workin' for somethin' out here!
There are mardi gras beads in the trees!
They're everywhere!
They're everywhere!
I actually Love this city and could totally see myself gettin' on here
I'll return one day for sure
But for me at least it's definitely a place to adventure an not so much Live

Patios
Patios everywhere
Patios everywhere
I agree
I wonder how much my ego/self-image effects my choices and actions
With a healthy ego and a positive/ideal self-image I don't see how that would be a negative thing
Regardless of the whole ego nonsense
I follow My Heart
With a healthy ego and a positive/ideal self-image I don't see how that would be a negative thing

And with the departure of New Orleans
I've completed all the circles I've been entrapped in
This is it
This is finally
FORWARD

Oh look
A Locked Gate
A Locked Gate
Screw that hahaha
Jumped it
Jumped it
Hello Mississippi!
I hear the current will drag you under
Don't fall outta your boat!
Prayin'
WHERE IS MY FIGHT?
A storm musta damaged this bridge
But it's definitely still crossable
But it's definitely still crossable
So here's where I'm at:
Not Just not have sex.
Not seek sex
Not accept sex
Not be motivated by sex
Not THINK about sex
Not with anyone new, anyways...
What am I doing to someone if I Love them with every intention to leave them?
I don't want to use my sisters
I don't want to be driven by lust
And as someone who discovered pornography at a very early age and struggled with being addicted to such a vice before I even understood what addiction is that is most definitely the deadly sin of my soul.
But I don't want to give in to it.
I want Love
I want to Sing my Song
I know what drives me
I know what gets me up Mountains
And it's not the pursuit of a potential Tinder hook-up
Nor is it the chance to be some ragged wolf roaming the streets from dusk to dawn
For someone as oversexualized as me
This isn't easy for me
But I want to hold sex as sacred
I want to create Beautiful Meaningful moments not a Fucking Lunch
That being said
Every connection I make holds some promise of a new beginning
So with Free Will there's the Choice of that
And it gets more difficult over time
But I'm trying to Fly here
I'm trying to RISE UP
SEE ME
Today I am finally going to cross the Mississippi River
There's a lot of meaning in that to me
As I've been trying to do that for a while now
And I Love Bridges
Next Stop—Austin!!!

So many beautiful truths in your blog. The sermon at my church today was about God calling us to be ambassadors. Are we reaching out and sharing with each other? Thank you for setting examples and for writing this blog and for being an ambassador. Abstanance and being an example is important. We are called to do this. Ive been fasting a lot lately from my vegan diet and that brings about visions and more mental awarness. Love and light and all things right my friend. Thanks for sharing!!!!
