The Seventeenth Virtual Symposium

The Virtual Symposium Returns Lets Pick A Topic
The Virtual Symposium Returns: Let’s Pick A Topic!

It’s time to vote for a topic for the Seventeenth Virtual Symposium. The topics offered are Vocabulary, The First Time, The Future and Science. You can always take a chance and write in a topic- run it up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes. Visit the blog of humorlife and read The Virtual Symposium Returns Lets Pick A Topic. Vote for a topic that catches your fancy!



We voted for the future, and why not? Most of us have one- some more than others- and however brief, it’s a compelling subject for all whether it’s promising or bleak. Sometimes I’ve thought that if at ten years old I could have seen my future I might have elected not to have one. It’s queer how time can mellow your perspective on this, but it isn’t at all odd that when faced with the choice of forgoing a future or soldiering on with whatever miserable script fate has handed us, with a finger on our next line of dialogue, we generally opt to swallow our pride and hope for a better role and higher billing in the next performance. A Hailee Steinfeld doesn’t come along that often, so the rest of us are left to slog along in the trenches and hope that when our moment comes we won’t miss it and can deliver something befitting a command performance. And that we won’t be a mere flash in the pan, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more.

If you don’t much care to brood upon your own personal prospects in any depth, there’s always the future of the nation, or of the human race or the planet to depress yourself with. My own balance beam tilts just a hair towards optimism when weighing these possibilities, but I reckon you might not guess that from listening to me. When I look at the human race as a lump, that’s pretty much what I see- a lump. But the individuals! I meet new people all the time, and can count many friends both past and current, who restore my faith in my fellow man and make me think we might just be all right after all. And I’m bullish as all hell about the likelihood of crossing paths with delightful new people, bright and uncharted territory for me and bound to put a smile on my face. There is indeed a riot of assclowns going on outside my door, but I’m accompanied by a loyal coterie of comrades and confederates who make life fun and entertaining.

After all of which we arrive at the nut of the matter- the purpose of the Symposia. It is intended to swell the ranks of those we delight in. It’s a way to read the thoughts of our fellow bloggers, to pick their brains, not out of our teeth like zombies, but to select from those minds their wild and unfettered take on a chosen topic. With great good luck and at least minimal good hygiene, we might find ourselves impressing and being impressed enough by that one special blogger who we can relate to so well that we end up holding hands in the moonlight. I got you this far- where you take it from there is up to you.

You are such a pimp!
All the topics are good. I did vote for science but I'm very happy with the future. I'm even happy with vocabulary and the first time, though I suspect the contributions will be more predictable with those two topics than science or the future.
If science is losing, I'll switch to the future because I do want one! I'm all for tactical voting.

I voted for The First Time. I'd be happy with Science or Vocabulary, too.
Future is tempting. But before I'll let myself think about future, I need to examine the past. Stupid mistakes and all.

Exceptional pimping as always!

You have a most practical approach, Spunky! I like this crop of topics too. I wasn't sulking last time because the topic didn't appeal to me. It just took me a while to get it done.

    Quoting yesmamallthetime:
    I voted for the First time. Now reading your allegiance to the future I would be happy with that topic as well. I was thinking of the future a little while ago as I messaged someone. This person said they did not see themselves in a serious relationship anymore. That that was beyond them at the age of 53. I mentioned the song "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran. I am now 48 and would love to find someone who I can still love when I am 70. Oh well...Que sera sera...free will and all that too...This is giving me an idea for a poem about hands reaching for a future, hoping they are not empty but holding another's hand, a companion for life's journey. I am not an artist but I would love that depicted. LOL
You have a wonderful way with words and a talent for nuance. I'm confident that whatever you write will be lovely and thought provoking.
I met PD when I was fifty three. Where would I be if I'd thought I was washed up?

Well, when you run short of stupid mistakes I can supply you with quite a few more. I probably have some more in my future, too.
It sure is good to see you here!

I picked The First Time. There's a first time for everything, so there should be plenty of choices to talk about

That was our thinking too. First divorce...after that it comes easy. It's like riding a bike.

I had never hear of Hailee Steinfeld. There you go, making me look things up!

Right before I voted I had just watched a Neil DeGrasse Tyson video. Maybe that influenced my vote of science. .. But hey, these votes are changeable.

Vocabulary interests me, but I would just end up critiquing myself. I know a lot of words but rarely use the really good ones.

I like the future, and share your outlook towards it. I always loved sci-fi, because it offered a hopeful glimpse into what may come. (Well the sci-fi I like anyway.) .. I have come to learn that if you want to be able to see the future that you also need a good understanding of the past.

I sometimes forget that this is a "sex site". When I cast my changeable ballot, "First Time" had a commanding lead. It didn't specify first time at what, so I may be able to churn out something.

Read my diary Journal of a Taxi Driver for taxi stories and pictures of flowers and trees.

    Sorry dude I voted for the "First time" and that is going to be painful and embarrassing to write about!
Then it should be a really interesting read!

I liked all the proposed topics this time. I knew my wife would like the Future, so that's how I voted.

This IS a sex site, but there are people here who have yet to learn that it's the other stuff that's more likely to get you laid- a genuine interest in the other person, a sense of humor, the patience to shut up and listen, compassion.

Sounds like an excellent choice K - "The future" - And what it will, can hold. Our dreams and hopes could be listed as well, plus - I and a friend jokingly wondered when "Beam me up Scottie", you know from Star trek will happen - just imagine - all of us here could meet then - we could just be "beamed up"?!

..... And always 'hold onto all those sexy thoughts'!

It appears that the people have nearly spoken, and they want to write about the first time.

I like the idea of teleportation but I'm always forgetting my keys or my glasses and have to go back in the house.

Thank you, as always, sir!

I really do hope that, if "The First Time" is chosen, people warp and distort their takes on it. I very carefully did not specify the first time of what, and am hoping people branch far beyond sex.

I mean, someone was asking about pimps and hos... wouldn't "horology" satisfy the need both for hos and the first time?

Stop in, read, and offer comments at my "swinging as seen in the media" blog, "Confessions of a Lifestyle Man" humorlife, which is also the home of the monthly virtual symposium. New post: The Virtual Symposium Returns Lets Pick A Topic

You're most welcome.

Well...first time hoes or first time johns- either way, I want to read about it. Hoes with stopwatches...Prostitutes of Tomorrow! Even though time marches on I'm thinking the oldest profession will still be with us for a while. Maybe I should be imagining the first business transaction for sexual services. Wasn't that in the Garden of Eden? And didn't Eve pay, with fruit?

People here are kind of fixated on sex, for some reason, so I reckon we can make a pretty shrewd guess that somebody's gonna get fucked in the coming posts.
