Celebrate my 26th birthday, on the same day that Germany won the Football World Cup in Italy. It was a full moon night, too.
Skipped from random job to others, and partied a lot.
February 11 – Nelson Mandela is released from Victor Verster Prison, near Cape Town, South Africa, after 27 years behind bars.
February 13 - German reunification: An agreement is reached for a two-stage plan to reunite Germany.
These are a little random for the most of us, I am sure. But the next stands for something that is omportant for FreeOnes, too:
April 6 – Robert Mapplethorpe's "The Perfect Moment" show of nude and homoerotic photographs opens at the Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center, in spite of accusations of indecency by Citizens for Community Values.
Yes, 24 years ago, a forum like this, open for everybody, and open display and conversation about ALL sorts of sexuality, was not thinkable for so many. And it was a great thuing that Mapplethorpe was such an artist, and that his works made it easier.
Mandela was set free, but there were still so many other frontiers which all of us set for ourselves. To this day, we see people, even on a "porn forum", who are so angry at people who think differently.
You are a young man, and you should cherish to not have to go through what we older people had to. I am 50, and I cherish to have freedoms, and the name "FreeOnes" means a lot more to me than just free naked pictures.
