Still here

Black rubber gloves and black rubber cargo pants, a gallon of port wine, a packet of cigarettes, air-con on and listening to the police on a scanner.

“It's life Jim, but not as we know it.”

The gloves are Nitrile actually, not rubber so as to be latex allergy-free... Apparently, the Germans invented nitrile rubber to use in automotive applications, and due to a general lack of rubber... being a tropical kind of plant the krauts were always short of the stuff, and being sensitive to petroleum products not too handy in a machinery scene...

...but they're black and tactile like rubber so I call them rubber. Because I can. And I do...

It's a funny thing, this latex fetish; funny=peculiar not funny=haha... It has a hold over me that is difficult to manage.

Let's put things in perspective... I = Me = Pete = addictive personality. Booze, drugs, fetish, 'peace-an-quiet', reading, work, you name it... I can over-do it!

And being an introvert.. ha ha ha try doing some Personality Type Tests! [Meyer Briggs based]{I?T? Derived from INTP, ISTP-T, ISTJ} I find it hard to explain or empathise with others, that they should just enjoy ...like me, enjoy and play with me, or leave me alone.

But... I digress! As usual and often.

Pete's Blog? Blob. Bog.. Recalcitrant Recidivist... unRepentant... 3xR.... not reading writin' and 'rithmatic... but Rubber, recidivist and unrepentant!
