But normally, I don't network and tell....But I'll make an exception this time...

Anime and manga isn't about bragging on the designers, screenwriters or executives you know in Japan It's about putting your budget where your mouth is!

But then again, I'm not really Japanese anime. Or am I? heh heh.

I return from the Funeral. It went well...I Gave a Eulogy For My Mother...

A Eulogy for Peggy – 1949 - 2018

About Peggy,

Peggy, my mother.

had both a beautiful soul and a beautiful face. She always nurtured, supported, encouraged, and helped comfort me in times of need. She was the perfect mother and had the perfect marriage to her husband, Cary Alberts. She had a way of putting everyone in the room at ease and making everyone feel valued and good about themselves. She had a regal quality. She had courage, strength, and grace. She was generous, selfless, caring, sensitive, responsible. She changed the lives of everyone she knew, and everyone of the people in this room gathered to pay their respects know what light, sunshine, and grace she brought into all of our lives. Peggy may have passed away, but she will remain alive and well in our hearts for the rest of our lives. I can say with confidence that none of us will forget you or your spirit Peggy. You will be sorely missed by all of us.

The Passing of a Great Woman, a Great Mother. My Adoptive Mother. Peggy

My adoptive mother, Peggy Alberts, born 1949....is no longer with us. She died in the hospital from severe cancer today. I was at the hospital today with Dad and Andrew at her bedside, for at least 2-4 hours, by the time I got there, she could only breath into a respirator. The Guereros end up showing up at the hospital room, we all just sat there in her small hospital room, watching her breath her last breaths. She was not going to recover. Me, Andrew, and Cary already knew she chose not to be put on life support, even though she could have, but she didn't want that, so we didn't. She passed before our eyes. We all cried. Andrew cried a bit, I cried a bit. Dad couldn't stop crying.

Peggy Alberts

1949 – 2018, Age 68.

She was the greatest, best mom I ever had.

The Ephebophile

In my 20s, I had a severe case of ephebophilia. I could watch lesbian teen porn streams for hours on end, tirelessly, limitlessly. It really got me off. I didn't learn that's what most men search porn for ("lesbians" and "Teens" are the number 1 rated search phrases of porn for millennials, so relax, you're a more normal 20 something than you think. Don't believe the hype. Every 24 year old secretly wish he could have a threesome menage et trois' with a 16-year-old girl and a 17-year-old girl. Most 20-year-old men have ephebophilic tendencies in their browser history. It's okay. It's surprising how normal it is to be attracted to teen girls in your 20s. They never USED to look that good and get men that horny. I was never a pedophile, though. I didn't Like em THAT young. Pornhub and Lolatube takes care of me real nice. As long as it doesn't get into your real-world social life, or as long as you don't pursue those urges you're okay. Pursuing ephebophilia is legally hazardous, for the obvious reason everyone hates 16-year-old girls. They're walking trouble and seducers. It's quite different in the real world. Some teen girls will come on to you, but what do you say?

"No, thank you! I don't swing that way!" I'm not a statutory rapist. I just have ephebophilia. There is a difference. I don't recommend any guy go there. It's important to discover 20 something girls in your 30s. They look arousing enough. And their panties look GREAT! Oh wow do they look great!
