Fantastic Ass Friday (FAF)

Thanks to everyone that voted last week.  We had a good turnout and good debates on your favorite and why you like each one.  I do enjoy seeing your comments on why you chose the one you voted for.  The winner from last week is to the right. 

This week I'm going to appease to all my female followers, readers, visitors, and lurkers.  This week you get a variety of...MEN!  I am sensitive to the needs of all the females out there, so FAF is not strictly about fine womens asses.  And yes, most of them are quite muscular.  I just have a hard time finding pictures of skinny little white guys like myself.  LOL!  And who would want to see that anyway.  ;) 

One of the pictures this week was even a submission by one of my faithful followers.  Thank you Hedone!  You are all welcome to submit ass pictures, that turn you on and arouse you, of men, women, and couples, if you wish to do so to be used in future installments of FAF. 

I hope you enjoy the pictures this week, and that every single one of you have a great weekend!

The Road Leads To Now

All roads lead to here!  That is what I believe.  Or a better say to say it would be that all the roads I have been down led to here.  I am not a very religious person, and not too big on philosophy.  Having said that, I can't say that I don't believe in some type of higher power.  No, this isn't going to be a post on religion.  I learned a long time ago that there are two things you never debate with people...religion and politics.  It doesn't matter what you say or what you do, people tend to have very set views on these topics, and each side can always have a valid point.  You will never change anyone's mind about these things.  You will just debate back and forth until you are blue in the face, and in the end, they still have their view and you still have yours. 

But that is not what this post is about.  It is about the journey.  The journey of life and it's experiences that we all move along.  I think to some degree that things happen for a reason.  That all we go through in life makes us what and who we are today.  That doesn't mean that your experiences made you either submissive or Dominant.  That is ingrained in your core psyche and personality on a much deeper level.  Yet, the general person we become, and a lot of our views and thoughts are based upon our life experiences.  I think life prepares us for what lies ahead.  We learn from our experiences, good and bad, and that helps us to be better equipped to deal with the future.  It helps us mature.

We don't always know or understand why we go through certain things in our life.  Many times we think we are in a place and are prepared to deal with it.  Yet, it turns out to be a stepping stone to what comes next.  I have left comments on several blogs lately about this very thing.  The blogger is going through a rough time with a breakup or something similar.  As hard as it is, once you get your feet back under you, you can see what you got out of the situation, what you learned and gained from it, and you are now better prepared for what lies ahead.  For me personally, I have had several relationships, vanilla marriages and D/s relationships, I can now look back on and see that they weren't the perfect situation.  They weren't meant to last.  But I did learn valuable lessons about life and have matured through these experiences.  Especially in D/s, I wasn't as prepared or as ready as I thought I was, and neither were the subs.  But together we learned about each other and ourselves, and became better people for it as we moved on.  Although this is not always easy to see and deal with at the time. 

I was recently asked about not only what I see for now, but 10, 20 and 30 years down the road.  Well, I see me being the perfect dominant of course.  LOL!  Ok, being serious, I think all I have learned has made me a better person.  It has taught me about relationships, what makes them good and what certainly harms them.  I have learned more about myself over the past few years than probably in my entire life.  Especially in being a Dominant, how I fit into that, how to be one that works for me and for a submissive, and how to better care for her and treat her like she deserves and expects.  Does that mean I'm perfect?  Not by any means.  But I am much better suited for what I feel lies ahead, and able to deal with a relationship on many levels, that can be lasting and meaningful.  If I hadn't been through all I have, then I would not have the understanding and knowledge I do today. 

I found a song recently that pretty much says this very thing.  Every action leads to the next, which leads to the next.  If one thing in your past was different, then it would change everything after that.  The song is called "This" by Darius Rucker.  The chorus is:

For every stoplight I didn't make
Every chance I did or I didn't take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
All the doors that I had to close
All the things I knew but I didn't know
Thank God for all I missed
Cause it led me here to
"This"

Below is the video you can watch as well.  And just remember...all things happen for a reason and lead us to where we are supposed to be.  I for one, even with all I have been through in my life, am happy with who I am and what has gotten me to this point.  It wasn't all fun and games, but it all did lead me to where I am now.  Looking back, I wouldn't change a thing.  I am very happy with where my road has led me, and look forward to the continued journey ahead...with a continued 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 years of the possibilities.



 

Formspring Issue (updated - see comments)

First of all, to the person that sent me a formspring question this morning and requested I not post it here...I did not get anything but the first couple of lines of what you sent.  For some reason my formspring cuts things off like that.  ARGH!!!  So please find a way to re-send it, as I would love to read the rest of what you wrote.  The easiest way may be to use my tumblr site and put it in my ASK box on there.  I know it works well, or standard email.  I hope to hear back from you and read what you had to say. 

Now...for anyone else that uses Formspring.  Do any of you have the issue I'm having?  I receive a question/comment, and it will show a sentence or two and then it cuts off.  I can't figure out how to read the rest of what was sent.  But obviously it is letting the sender type and send much more than what I am seeing.  Any assistance from any of you using FS would be greatly appreciated.

Fantastic Ass Friday! (FAF)

Welcome to another edition of FAF!  Thanks to all that voted last week.  We had a great vote and went to a runoff, which turned out to be tight as well.  But, we did finally come out with a winner, posted to the right. 

One point I would like to clear up.  I do have a one vote rule.  Meaning that I ask that you vote only once and for for only one picture.  I have talked with several members of couples who like to look at FAF together and decide on their choice.  We all have different views as to what we like, turns us on, and we find artistically pleasing.  So, if you are part of a couple that views FAF together, you may each vote one time each, not just one time as a couple.  Also sounds like a good way to cause some fun competition amongst a couple as to which of your choices gets more votes.  LOL!  Yes...I am a bit devious!  :)

Also one more note...I will accept submissions and use them in the weekly voting.  So, as you travel the internet, if you see a nice ass and think it would fit well in FAF, please feel free to send it to me by email.  I received one last night from Hedone that will fit nicely into an upcoming FAF edition.  So feel free to submit pics that you come across, if you are so inclined. 

Ok...on to this week's pictures!  I hope you enjoy and hope everyone has a great weekend!

Formspring Question/Comment

I recently received the following comment on my Formspring:

This isn't really a question. I just wanted to say I am really beginning to love the name Dauntless. Sometimes I find myself thinking, "Man, this is daunting." And then I think Dauntless Vitality. Oh, I get it. Starting to love it. Really love it.

 

I'm not real sure how to reply to this honestly...other than to say thank you, and glad I can be of assistance.  I don't know which should scare you most...the fact that you are facing daunting situations, or that when you do you think of little ole me.  LOL!  Whatever the case, thank you and I am flattered.  

While we are at it, let's look into this a bit further, and I'll give you a little insight into me.  When I originally came up with my pseudo name for the internet and email (DauntlessVitality - DV), I had to think on it for a long while.  I wanted something first of all that didn't sound stupid or cheesy.  I wanted something that would stand out and resemble someone strong and stable.    Yet, it also needed to truly be me and who I am.  Something that was characteristic of me.  So what's a guy to do but break out the dictionary and thesaurus.  Back and forth, and back and forth I went in looking up words and meanings based on how I would describe myself.  

I see my self as dauntless...meaning fearless, bold, courageous.  My commenter mentioned the word daunting, or being overwhelmed or intimidated.  That I am not.  I am calculated and not easily intimidated.  I needed another word though too.  Just calling myself Dauntless didn't feel right.  Back to the books I went.  I ended up with the word vitality.  That was me for sure...full of life and power and an enduring person.  Yep, I had it!  Enduring, fearless, and full of life.  That is me for sure.  I started using DauntlessVitality and never looked back.  It has stuck with me and has served me well.  

So, back to my formspring comment...I'm happy I can assist you with being able to see and get it.  When ever you feel overwhelmed, just think of being fearless and full of life, and someone that can endure.  If me being here, and you thinking of me in those times of trepidation, helps you in some way, then I am glad I can do that for you.  Sometimes we all need the strength of someone else to help pull us through a tough time.  If I can do that for you, my anonymous commenter, then being here is worthwhile, and all my ranting and thoughts and views on my blog have made a positive impact.  

So, thank you for the kind words!  

(of course I could be completely misinterpreting the comment, in which case please correct me.)

Fantastic Ass Friday (FAF)

Happy April everyone!  I can promise you there is no April Fools here on FAF.  Nothing but real and fantastic asses.  That's what you want, expect, and deserve.  We had a good vote last week, and it was pretty much a runaway by the winner.  Once again, I was a bit surprised by what you all liked the most.  Goes to show what I know.  Last week's winner is posted to the right. 

I have a special theme for you all this week.  I am dedicating this week to to couples, with an emphasis still on the fantastic female ass.  I hope you all enjoy!  Have a great weekend!
