Ode on an Ode - Hugo's search for beauty in a bleak world.

Ode on an Ode - Hugo's search for beauty in a bleak world.

The days seem bleak in the world. 2020 has not been a kind year to humanity and despair is rampant. At this time Hugo contemplates on what is beautiful in the world and why it makes sense for all of us to think on it. 

Today on the Show:

Ode on a Grecian Urn by John Keats: 

Thou still unravish'd bride of quietness,

Thou foster-child of silence and slow time,

Sylvan historian, who canst thus express

A flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme:

What leaf-fring'd legend haunts about thy shape

Of deities or mortals, or of both,

In Tempe or the dales of Arcady?

What men or gods are these? What maidens loth?

What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?

What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy?

Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard

Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on;

Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd,

Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone:

Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave

Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare;

Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss,

Though winning near the goal yet, do not grieve;

She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss,

For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair!

Ah, happy, happy boughs! that cannot shed

Your leaves, nor ever bid the Spring adieu;

And, happy melodist, unwearied,

For ever piping songs for ever new;

More happy love! more happy, happy love!

For ever warm and still to be enjoy'd,

For ever panting, and for ever young;

All breathing human passion far above,

That leaves a heart high-sorrowful and cloy'd,

A burning forehead, and a parching tongue.

Who are these coming to the sacrifice?

To what green altar, O mysterious priest,

Lead'st thou that heifer lowing at the skies,

And all her silken flanks with garlands drest?

What little town by river or sea shore,

Or mountain-built with peaceful citadel,

Is emptied of this folk, this pious morn?

And, little town, thy streets for evermore

Will silent be; and not a soul to tell

Why thou art desolate, can e'er return.

O Attic shape! Fair attitude! with brede

Of marble men and maidens overwrought,

With forest branches and the trodden weed;

Thou, silent form, dost tease us out of thought

As doth eternity: Cold Pastoral!

When old age shall this generation waste,

Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe

Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st,

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all

Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."

Conversations: DatingKinky.com's creator Nookie

Nookie is the creator of DatingKinky.com. It is an online portal designed "by a kinkster for kinksters, poly folk, queers, trans & not everyone not-quite vanilla." Hugo first came across Nookie's on-line persona on line where she opines, shares and guides conversations revolving the ever changing world of kink. His "Wow" moment came when he realized that the interpersonal strategies being shared by this community could apply to the challenges he and others in the "Vanilla" sphere face everyday. This lead to a the conversation between Nookie and Hugo where together they compare notes and Nookie educates on topics like, How to Read/Write and On-Line Profile, the assumptions we make about Dominant/Submissive relationships, the proper care of Cast Iron skillets and much more. Keep an open mind and don't fret reaching out to Nookie for much further info.

Ass-Umptions: Hugo didn't get the benefit of the doubt in a traffic situation.

Ass-Umptions: Hugo didn't get the benefit of the doubt in a traffic situation.

Hugo got stuck in traffic recently whilst in a hurry to an errand. After getting an answer from the person who caused the traffic jam he tried to help other motorists deal with the situation. Some of the responses were not as polite as possible and that didn't sit will with our protagonist. Hugo now tells us about the importance of giving people the benefit of the doubt.

Today on the Show:

“BLACK ROBBERS”? (A True Story)

For anyone who didn’t see the episode of David Letterman’s show where this story was told, read this and remember it’s a true story.

On a recent weekend in Atlantic City, a woman won a bucketful of quarters at a slot machine. She took a break from the slots for dinner with her husband in the hotel dining room. But first she wanted to stash the quarters in her room.

I’ll be right back and we’ll go to eat’ she told her husband and carried the coin-laden bucket to the elevator. As she was about to walk into the elevator she noticed two men already aboard. Both were Black. One of them was very tall and had an intimidating figure.

The woman froze. Her first thought was; “These two are going to rob me.”

Her next thought was; “Don’t be a bigot, they look like perfectly nice gentleman.” But racial stereotypes are powerful, and fear immobilized her.

Avoiding eye contact, she got in, turned around stiffly and faced the elevator doors as they closed.

A second passed, and then another second, and then another. Her fear increased! The elevator didn’t move. “My God” she thought, I’m trapped and about to be robbed! Her heart plummeted. Perspiration poured from every pore. Then one of the men said, “Hit the floor.”

Instinct told her to do what they told her. The bucket of quarters flew upwards as she threw out her arms and collapsed on the elevator floor. A shower of coins rained down on her. “Take my money and spare me”, she prayed.

More seconds passed.

She heard one of the men say politely, Ma’am, if you’ll just tell us what floor you’re going to, we’ll push the button.”

The one who said it had a little trouble getting the words out. He was trying mightily to hold in a belly laugh. The woman lifted her head and looked up at the two men. They reached down to help her up.

Confused, she struggled to her feet, “When I told my friend here to hit the floor”, said the average sized one, “I meant that he should hit the elevator button for our floor.” I didn’t mean for you to hit the floor, Ma’am.” He spoke genially. He bit his lip.

It was obvious he was having a hard time not laughing. The woman thought; “My God, what a spectacle I’ve made of myself.” She was humiliated to speak.

The three of them gathered up the strewn quarters an refilled her bucket. When the elevator arrived at her floor they then insisted on walking her to her room. She seemed a little unsteady on her feet, and they were afraid she might not make it down the corridor.

At her door they bid her good evening. As she slipped into her room she could hear them roaring with laughter as they walked back to the elevator. The woman brushed herself off. She pulled herself together and went downstairs for dinner with her husband.

The next morning flowers were delivered to her room; a dozen roses. Attached to EACH ROSE WAS A CRISP ONE-HUNDRED-DOLLAR BILL!

The card said: “Thanks for the best laugh we’ve had in years.”

It was signed: Eddie Murphy and Michael Jordan."

Conversations: Anne Rae - Luxury Sex Towels & More

In 2016, Anna B. was thoroughly exasperated. Tired of sleeping in the wet spot after sex and conversations bemoaning the lack of sex clean-up products on the market, she determined to change the market and way people view aftercare.  Fortified with lattes and the belief that aftercare shouldn't be an afterthought, Anna launched her business, AnnaRae, in the spring of 2017. Today, Anna and her team proudly offer beautiful, handmade sex clean-up towels in a range of sizes and colors. A proud LGBTQIAP+ positive, woman-owned business, with products made in Texas, AnnaRae has a passion to provide quality aftercare merchandise. 

Hugo and Anna Rae discuss entrepreneurship, family life, sexuality and luxury sex towels on today's eye opening show.

Listen Closely - Everyone is talking but are we listening to one another?

Listen Closely - Everyone is talking but are we listening to one another?

While cleaning out his garage Hugo found an old poem his High School teacher assigned in the last days of Senior year. It made little sense to him then but twenty years later he's lived a life and the puzzle pieces are starting to make sense. Hugo reads the poem and shares his thoughts on the importance of listening to the wisdom of elders and why we need to truly listen to each other more.

Today on the Show:

Ken Blanchard: Raving Fans

Desiderata 

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,

and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible without surrender

be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly;

and listen to others,

even the dull and the ignorant;

they too have their story. 


Avoid loud and aggressive persons,

they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,

you may become vain and bitter;

for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. 


Keep interested in your own career, however humble;

it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs;

for the world is full of trickery.

But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;

many persons strive for high ideals;

and everywhere life is full of heroism. 


Be yourself.

Especially, do not feign affection.

Neither be cynical about love;

for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment

it is as perennial as the grass. 


Take kindly the counsel of the years,

gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.

But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.

Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,

be gentle with yourself. 


You are a child of the universe,

no less than the trees and the stars;

you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,

no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. 


Therefore be at peace with God,

whatever you conceive Him to be,

and whatever your labors and aspirations,

in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. 


With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,

it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful.

Strive to be happy. 

Max Ehrmann, Desiderata, Copyright 1952.
