The advance of the Spring season encourages us all to expose ourselves in the sunlight!

Spring Cleaning!

Bare Celebrity, Landon (left) and friend!

Analogy: if similar in some respects, then they must be similar in other respects.

The header photograph (above) probably needs no explanation as it is obvious that the two men are pointing to the penis on the other; therefore, they are referencing it. And as a notation, the Black man is a celebrity within the same gender loving (SGL) film industry (porn). His stage name (performance) name is Landon. We are unsure as to why they are discussing penis but on closer inspection they’re both almost identical in length and thickness, at least while flaccid (calm, relaxed).

The .gif images published below also feature Landon, today’s guest celebrity, this time sharing a sudsy bath with a different partner.

Landon and his partner’s buttocks!

Comparing all the visuals of Landon and his accomplices, perhaps they are sharing information on hygiene and/or what is known as “spring cleaning.”

The fact that Landon and his cohort appear to be clean, it is appropriate to speculate that cleaning is a similar trait in their personal routine. Given Landon’s professional status, hygiene is expected of him as part of his work preparedness.

Landon’s fascination with male anatomy!

A patronizing inference is not intended so we can safely assume the same applies to the level of cleanliness of Landon’s buddy/friend/lover/partner. Thus, the phrase “spring cleaning” in no way refers that they each bathe just once, annually, in the Spring!

Hence, the usage of “spring cleaning” may infer – hopefully – to the routine of maintaining a tidy, pristine and safe environment (body, living space, etc.) by both men, individually and/or jointly.

Footnote #1: No disrespect to Landon nor to his friend. Aaron, my spouse, and I both appreciate his DVD scenes as well as his personal appearance. Just a “spring speculation” on an uncertain phrase and what it really means!

Footnote #2: Since we’ve identified the analogy here, perhaps the time has arrived to rename the title of this posting. A suggestion of something more accurate and descriptive. Maybe: Bare Spring Cleaning? We are, after all, bare practitioners!

Naked hugs!

Earth Day, 22 April annually!

Earth Day: A Global Event!

Communicating, celebrating, sharing, preserving our heritage and our life!

Earth Day was first held globally on 22 April 1970, At that time, it was official in only a handful of countries, but the public response was enormous and very encouraging. Before the end of the event, there were announced plans to hold an additional Earth Day on the same date in 1971.

Earth Day 2026: Our Power, Our Planet

“This Earth Day, people of all backgrounds and generations are called to stand shoulder to shoulder in defence of the only home we all share. Join us on Saturday, 18 April, Earth Day 22 April and throughout 2026 to take action and show your love for Planet Earth. When we stand together, our planet has a future.” ~ Earth Day website ~

Celebrating Trees!

There is no standard officially observed “Arbor Day.” Because of the differences in the temperatures, most events are staged relating to the weather within a particular locality. Arbor Day is customarily commemorated by an organized public tree-planting according with local needs.

The dates and times follow the regional “growing season” as determined by knowledgeable arborists and other professionals within the “arbor” (tree) community.

Budding Season!

Background:

Ah! Spring is in the air! At least, that is the prediction and promise of the old adage offering the situation of the renewal (renudeal) of… bromance! Go ahead, roll your eyes, shake your head and frown! Yet right in front of your eyes, there’s an innocent young couple doing just that! Bromance!

Spring has recently become reality and already these two are commencing…together! We can’t judge them! First and foremost, we’re not qualified to pass judgment! Secondly, they didn’t invent the ancient proverb! They’re only responding to the wisdom! After all, Spring is (indeed) “in the air -and all around us!”

In the header .gif image above, no one is at fault! Neither of them can be blamed! They are essentially doing what a couple actually do during the Springtime naturally – while natural (bare)! One is fondling the buttocks of the other. And the other is allowing his buttocks to be fondled!

In this second .gif image, they are merely walking together, exploring where they are…companionship together! Continuing to be naturally together while both are remaining natural (bare). Have either of them done anything wrong? No! Has one abused or hurt the other? No! Spring remains in the air and is following them everywhere! They are inseparable!

Where are they going? Do we know what’s going to happen once they arrive there? They are both already casual and comfortable in their nakedness. What will they explore next? Will their decision impact us? Are any of these concerns our business?

Spring is in the air! It is all around us everywhere! Our only obligation is to take care and stay bare!

Spring is in the air, and with it comes the budding season! Budding is the sprouting, then growth and appearance of the buds of flowers as they adorn the now exploding foliage on plants. A visible guarantee and proof that: Yes! Spring is in the air!

The budding season also denotes that the emerging bromance of our featured innocent couple is full of hope for their future together. However, should the potential bromance not develop and prosper then hopefully, at least, a “buddy” (friendship) will appear, grow and survive!

Naked hugs!

Great and Holy Easter!

Icon of the Resurrection!

Great and Holy Easter, Sunday, 12 April 2026!

Great and Holy Easter celebrates and commemorates the triumph of good over evil and of love over hate. The Resurrection is the promise of eternal life!

Background:

The Eastern Churches (Armenian, Chaldean, Coptic, Orthodox, etc.) follow the older calendar effective during the time of Jesus. The Western Churches follow a revised calendar thus the two different dates for most holy days.

Great Friday, 10 April, 2026:

The epitaphios procession through the churches.

In the Eastern Orthodox Church today is known as Great Friday, the Day of Sorrow. In the liturgical year, it commemorates the last day of Jesus alive here on earth and the sorrows he endured: the beating at the pillars of the Jerusalem Temple, the crowning of thorns, and having to carry his cross and then his crucifixion. When he expired, his body was placed in a tomb that belonged to St. Joseph of Arimathea.

Annually on this day, believers remember the agonies and pains that Jesus experienced. The shroud of the icon of the Crucifixion is placed in a tomb that is carried through the church in the epitaphios (tomb). As it is carried, the faithful chant the Lamentations hymns that recount the events of Great Friday. In the churches inside Greece, the epitaphios is bourne by active members of the military: army. navy or air corps.

After sunset on Friday evening, there is a candlelight service in churches where the icons have been covered in mourning. The Divine Liturgy is not sung again until midnight on Easter morning. The prayers offered reinforce the sadness and suffering of the occasion.

The Great Lent:

Anticipating the Glorious Resurrection, the six weeks before the arrival of the Holy Feast are spent in a period known as the Great Lent – a time of extreme fasting and sincere prayer. Growing up, my parents would direct the discussion topics to the importance of faith, prayer and service to all in our lives, our obligation to our church (Greek Orthodox) and to our family.

The fasting aspect of Great Lent involves abstinence from all meat, seafood, dairy products and eggs. The focus is on receiving nutrition naturally from nature’s resources. The fast is in effect during the entire season of the Great Lent.

The Great and Holy Easter!

The only offering of the Divine Liturgy (the principal prayer service in Holy Orthodox Churches) is always at Midnight on the Feast of Pascha (Easter). This allows for an entire day of celebration and feasting. The service begins outside the church (weather permitting) when the candles of the Resurrection are lit, and the priest leads the entire congregation to circle the church three times. While processing, the people sing the Resurrection hymns (Christ is Risen! Indeed, He is Risen!).

After the third encirclement, the procession then moves inside the church as the deacons uncover the holy icons, and believers light candles and offer prayers. The Resurrection hymns continue as the clergy, deacons, and servers line up for the offering of the Divine Liturgy.

The traditional Easter greetings!

Among all the popular treats for the Easter feasting, the most recognized is the egg which also represents the rebirth of the spring season. The hard-boiled egg is dyed red to recall the blood lost by Jesus during the crucifixion. The Lenten Fasting removed the availability of eggs from people’s diets but gave them notoriety as an Easter treat!

In the early hours of Easter morning, following the conclusion of the Resurrection Liturgy, the faithful exit the ecclesiastical sanctuary of the churches and encounter baskets and trays of traditional dyed Easter eggs ready to be consumed. The festive spirit of the holy day continues with all participating in the classical custom of greetings.

Holding the egg in the palm of the hand, one salutes another with the phrase, “Christos anesti!” (Christ is risen!). The other responds: “Alithos anesti!” (Indeed He is risen!). The two then collide their open-palmed eggs together with the victor emerging as the one with their egg-shell uncracked or intact. Multiple eggs are devoured in this manner and the Great fast of Lent is officially over!

Families – and sometimes multiple households – after the greetings and egg-breaking hurry home for an early morning Easter meal!

Tsoureki: Greek Sweet Easter Bread!

Tsoureki:

The widely and wildly delicious Easter delicacy that is a favourite of all – both the religious Greeks and those who are indifferent to faith. My spouse, Aaron, is the chef of our household and has my paternal yaya’s (grandmother’s) recipe for this special bread. He is the culinary commander and even though he never met any of my grandparents, he has spiritually inherited yaya’s ability, skill and talent in tsoureki baking. My siblings extol his exceptional perfection of her triumph! Aaron has even framed her handwritten recipe (in Greek) and it hangs in a place of honour in our kitchen!

Yaya’s tsoureki recipe generally takes approximately 18 – 19 hours to mix, prepare and to rise and over an hour to bake. After years of experience, Aaron has not been able to alter the process.

The tsoureki (in my family custom) is served with the main feasting that occurs in the late afternoon on Easter Sunday. One loaf usually serves about twenty-four (24) people and multiple loaves are served.

Kala pascha! Happy Easter!

“A very public 2026 Spring Resolution: to renew (renude) and restore spending time each day in order to return contemplation, peace and tranquility into my heart, mind and soul.” ~ Roger Peterson-Poladopoulos ~

I need to increase my diligence in adhering to my daily routine of making certain that before I retire for the evening, I have some time to pause, reflect and think. To make myself take the time to do what needs to be done. In my own way and what works best for my needs.
