Observations, Reflections, and Expectations

I just noticed this is my 95th blog posting in a little over 2 years of writing this blog. I suspect my original expectations in posting pics and commentary as well as info and history about wearing nylon probably had something to do with hopefully meeting someone who shared some similarities with my nylon interest. Because this blog is really just about nylon tricot, it may give the impression that my life is also just about nylon tricot--which, of course, it is not. Nylon has certainly enhanced my life (better living through chemistry?), but ultimately my life is like everyone else's with the ups and downs of everyday life and the daily battle for truth, justice and the American Way--oh wait, that was Superman's life. Maybe those red trunks I saw as a child started it all, who knows?

As you may have noticed there are 43 followers (thank you) and an occasional comment. The average lycra blog has 5 to 10 times that many followers and countless comments. Rather than be disappointed in the numbers, I'd prefer to think of us as a select bunch with probably not too many under 40 unless they still aren't sure if there IS a difference between lycra and nylon. Well, not unlike nylon tricot itself, our interest will last forever even if our elastic may be giving out.

My expectations of meeting someone have given way to more having become an almost scholarly repository for pictures and documentation of men in nylon on the web. It's funny how many times I will run into my own blog while searching image sites for guys wearing nylon. All those labels or tags eventually make their way into search engines and occasionally to this blog. I assume that's how most of you have found it even though I have sometimes sent a direct link to someone I thought might enjoy it. For better or for worse, I am still sleeping alone on those nylon sheets at night and luckily to be at a point in my life where I am ok with that. Unfortunately the time (gladly spent) it takes to search for the pictures and clutter it creates on my computer (not to mention the temptations) has sometimes created an unwanted temptation. I think of the time better spent on work/personal uses of the computer that tend to bend to the nylon temptations and I get concerned. So I am setting a sort of "end goal" of an even 100 blog posts before I give this up. I know, I probably won't ever give it up entirely, but I do want to become more disciplined in terms of my temptations and time spent searching the internet. In terms of my meninnylon email, again, the disappointment of logging in to find mostly no new emails for long periods takes its toll as well. I think a weekly check, in most cases, is adequate unless I happen to have some active correspondence going on--very rare.

So enjoy the new posts as they happen and know that with 100 postings and thousands of photos, you will not find more pictures of men in nylon or info about it anywhere else on the web. Sadly, that will not even get me a free latte at Starbucks.
