feeling the funk...

olfactory senses are quite important to my life experience.

there are certain smells that i associate w/specific life experiences that are vividly recalled any time a particular smell is about.

1 of my favorites is the smell of those tree car air fresheners. typical thinking would likely assume it's because it reminds me of my 1st ride. no. the memory is that of the video store where i was 1st able to rent porn. for some reason, the porn box (a little ass room in a big ass store) was freshly stocked w/1 of those tree car fresheners. so, every time i smell those damn trees, i think porn...

another is the smell of grass & rain during the warmer seasons. these remind me of my summer's at my paternal family's property in the beautiful rural area of VA's Eastern Shore. little Indian named towns all up & down US-13. i used to stay outside until the 'squitos came out & fucked up my skin.

i am also quite fond of musks. i don't remember exactly what age i was, but i remember learning that we all smell different. i became familiar w/the smell of my sperm donor. he used Right Guard in the tall brown can. this is years before leave-no-stain roll-ons & anti-perspirants. i knew his natural smell as well. the egg donor doesn't have a specific smell, unless you count the smell of old pads in the bathroom trash can. [ewwwww!] perhaps because i spent all my time around her instead of him, i didn't feel the need to assign her smell a slot in my funk memory...

make like a pleasant crotch musk is completely unimportant...

PEACE
...be calm...
