tomorrow.... the last day at tdbanknorth. tig is scared of leaving... it's the end of an era... tig is leaving a lot of friends and a major comfort zone. 12 years of work written in history and a closing of a book... chatted with wen tonight about saline injection looks real neat... would like to have that done at some point in time... wen said the medical issues are negligable... that really helps... but it should be done by someone that has done it... which is understandable... maybe after tig gets to CA we could look into this....

Centering... focus... vision... as tig looks towards his upcoming move he finds it increasingly hard to focus on anything... it takes tig a lot more work to remain focused on the needs and desires of Master and the community. It’s amazing how the picture tig has on his computer helps to bring things back to focus. Will that happen while there? Will focus be hard? tig doesn’t think it will... but how about during the trip? tig will spend the days focused on the road... on the travel... what can tig do to keep his focus on Master? a deeper question is... why does tigs focus shift? is it that tigs need a presents in his life causes tig to sway in focus from Master? hmmm tig doesn’t think so… tig feels that is it just the stress of the move and the nerves involved…. Tig will have to monitor his focus when he gets there to be sure that it isn’t a need for a partner… today marks the end of day three and the beginning of day two… its so surreal! It feels so weird…

tig is at the same place as he was yesterday.... even chat with the community was somewhat boring... maybe its the need to separate from work... things at the house are going ok... mom is moody when it comes to my leaving... I've tried to get her to chat with Master... to hopefully alleviate some of the worries that she has... she doesn't seem to want to listen to tig... dad... well no change there.... Robert called looking for a loan of 1000.00... told him I could get it... but he can't have it.... he wasn't too happy... tig is looking forward to friday to say goodbye to the bank... it will be a bitter sweet day....

a quiet day today.... work was ok... went tanning.... chatted with pup a bit then with Master.... decided to make the trip alone... everything will be ok.... chatted with Behr also... it was good to see him back online... and feeling better.... Master was saying that it hit both of them... tigs last day is coming up... it scary to think about it.... 12 years of friendships.... wow... a lot of history at TDbanknorth....

a busy day traveling today... went to visit my aunt in MA... left early and just got home... at 8:08pm... and tig is tired! it was nice to see her new apartment and help move things where she wants.... but over all it drains the spirit... tig comes home mentally exhausted. scruffy was online but was getting ready for work and didn't want to chat... tig is looking forward to his last week at tdbanksnorth... woohoo!

Today was an awesome day…. Beautiful 55 degree weather… sunny and warm! What more could one ask for…. Ummm… maybe Master to be here…… tig has had an inner peace today that has been wonderful… a calm… something that tig hasn’t felt in a long while… but also one that tig isn’t going to question… one lesson that tig learned along time ago…. Tig was instructed to just relish the feeling and it will get stronger…. Tig heard from scruffy tonight… he was pretty upset…. Said he was feeling like he was going to be put out of the community…. told him to talk to them … not me… that tig could understand both sides…. And was not going to get in the middle…. This was between scruff and Master and/or pup….. not tig…. Tonight’s MAsT meeting was great, Master Curtis and slave wen did a great job…. Tig hopes that it can keep going and someday turn into a NY type of meeting…. Tomorrow we go to MA to visit… :D
Fun, fun, fun!
Fun, fun, fun!

It’s Friday! One week from today will be my last day at TDBanknorth! WOW... what a scary thought... 12 years of work.... ending! tig sits and reflects often on everything that has happened in the 12 years... so many people have come and gone in tig time... so many branches, banks, friends have been added.... and too many friends have been lost... for many there is still that sense of loss... tig doesn’t think that will go away... friends are hard to loose... leaving friends here at the bank will be hard too.... Clemence, Madeleine, Flora, Barb, Shirley and Lorraine.... such great people... such great times ... the loss will be great for them as well as for tig.... just for the fun of it... tig spent 24960.00 hours with these people... 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year .... 12 years..... WOW!

A wet gloomy day today…. Work was ok… took on a few projects just to keep busy… last nights chat was good… missed having Behrs wit there… he was real quiet… that bothers me… guess there is a lot more going on than tig knows about…. Things are slowing down a bit finally…. Only 6 working days left… that is scary… it’s such an odd feel… but things are picking up with work in CA… that’s a real comfort….

What an interesting chat last night.... the topics were “was or is our BDSM life based on sexual fantasy?” “is sex a driving force in your BDSM life?” “ do you hold your Master to grow in a spiritual/enlightened way?” “should your Master/Dom aspire to a higher plain?”. The first two have been answered so many times but the second set was more intriguing ... Should a Master aspire to a higher plain... tig feels yes... no matter what we do or who we are in life and relationships we are all students and must learn and grow in that knowledge... there are no perfect Masters... just as there are no perfect slaves.... if you find a “perfect” Master... move on you and he will grow weary of each other real soon. lack of growth on both or one side of the relationship will cause the relationship to become stagnant and die out.... Does tig hold Master to grow to a higher enlightened/spiritual plain? tig has to say yes... and has seen that growth, Master reads up on the lifestyle and gains new insights... and hopefully incorporates those into His being Master of the community... it would be interesting to chat about that on the trip.... to see just how Master grows in His journey as Master.... tig isn’t sure about pup and Behr... do they aspire to a higher plain? if so, how are they working to that goal? or are they? if not why? We then got on the topic of punishment.... and how it is looked at differently... some folk feel that physical punishment is the only way to go... some feel mental/emotional punishment.... but most felt that if an error was made unintentionally that it is more productive to find out what happened, why was the error made and deal with the reason on a constructive basis... that physical punishment is seen as short term... and forgotten about rather quickly... case in point: tigs punishment for forgetting to replace his ring after a shower.... tig was physically “punished” and mentally punished.... 20 cloth pins to the scrotum and 3 days without the ring and what stuck with tig was loss of the ring for the three days... not the cloth pins... they were painful at the time.... but became more enjoyable.... how does one physically punish a pain slut??? does mental punishment work? what about emotional? should emotional stuff be equated with punishment? is that abuse? how would the sub/slave handle just talking over the infraction and discussing why it happened ... what is the deeper meaning/reason? would that last longer than a slap on the hand? something that Master, pup and Behr might want think about..... tig is really looking forward to the trip west.... the chat will be very interesting..... tonight is community chat... pup say everyone should be there... most likely scruffy won’t be there as well as hound... so it’s just tig and the family.... should be interesting....

tigs feeling a bit better today... still haven’t eaten anything but at least I don’t feel as bad as yesterday afternoon.... chatted with Master and Behr a bit yesterday.... asked permission to be excused from journaling... and to see what address tig should use... Master warned tig that Behr was in a bad mood... and he was right... don’t know what was going on and am pretty sure tig doesn’t want to know.... work is ok... 8 working days left... and am ready for it to end.... mom and dad are doing ok... not much else going on.... except that tig reread a few journal entries back... without further explanation it sounds like tig is eliminating communication totally.... and that is not what tig means.... what tig is limiting is the “official” stuff... discussing rules, assignments anything that has to do with training or the community will be done solely with Behr... thus eliminating the grey areas.... leaving no room for misconceptions or misunderstandings.... as for pup... tig has reopened (on a very limited basis) some daily communication with pup... mainly just to keep focused.... and Master... well, tig was instructed to not initiate communications with Him... tig guesses that there are exceptions like yesterday.... where tig was looking for Behr.... but then Master wanted to chat a bit about the trip anyway... tigs concern about the trip is that it will be a lot for Master to handle.... driving to Portland OR then flying to Manchester NH then driving back to Camino over 5 days... that’s a lot of traveling.... but it is totally up to Master.... tig would like the company... hmmm.... lunch has managed to stay down... that’s a good thing.... saw Aline’s new puppy... what a cutie! I’ll have to share the pics with the guys... going to contact BofA to see if they got tig app... tig hopes to be able to start work no later than April 24th .... that works out to leaving on the 9th... 5 days driving... 1 week of settling in ... then back to work... seems doable... but then it depends on what Master has planned for tig.... ;)

Tig is a tired puppy tonight…. Spent the majority of the day with David… we went to a movie, to the mall, to dinner and back to the mall…. It was a long afternoon/evening…. But tig enjoyed our time just cuddling here at the house watching a rented movie… it was nice to just have that time to touch, caress and feel a man next to me…. He had to go at 7:30 though… he has a project at work early tomorrow…. bummer! All tig can do is wish him the very best in all that he does…. Next weekend is the initial MasT meeting at wens… tig is real glad that she is having it early… tig really wanted to attend since he is a charter member…. Tig is looking forward to the meeting… its hard to believe that in ten working days tig will be done at the bank…. wow!

Tonight tig is going to make this short… last nights chat was hard but one good thing came out of it… tig finally got an answer that set tig straight as to where he was headed and what rank he would be and what he would be doing… right from Masters mouth… tig is limiting his communication even though Master or Behr has not ordered it… tigs only communication will be with Behr unless otherwise ordered… why? tigs sanity…. This will stop any and all confusion… tig hopes!

This is going to be short because tig feels like crap and has a major headache! Gave a 12 day notice today… it’s a scary thing to do…. But then came tonight’s chat… ARHG what a cluster …….. tig felt like he came down hard on pup… but there was so much that he offered to tig that has been reneged on……. In looking back tig doesn’t know how to take it all… was it just to get tig to sign, or was he earnest in going by only what he knew? Or was pup running under the assumption that Behr was moving on to be a Master? that sounds like the most logical……. Tig wonders why pup isn’t kept more up to date with what is going on in the community? As Alpha wouldn’t that be top on his list to better serve his Master?…. don’t know…guess tig will just cut the communication that tig has had with pup… and won’t contact Master…. and will just do what he it told and push himself to the max as tig usually does…. Maybe by not having as many inputs will keep things clear … the voice of one is clearer that that of three….and as Behr said… “pup doesn’t have time for idol chat”…. earn the money… bring it home... and leave the slaves to Behr….

a big day for tig.... not only is today day #13 but it is also tigs 12th anniversary here at the bank... it would be nice to get a card or something from the crew but tig doesn’t see that happening!... a card or something from anyone would be nice!.... haven’t heard from wen or Master Curtis since early last week.... might need to call and find out what’s up and what Master would like tig to wear tonight for dinner at Uncle Billie’s.... tomorrow is the big day... tig puts in his two week notice... a very scary thought.... hooked up with David last night for a quick dinner... will be doing the movie and dinner thing Saturday afternoon instead... it was nice to see him and chat with him... he’s a good kid... tig hopes that over time he can find himself and find what he wants in life... he seems to be in that floating mode right now... he does know that he is not a slave... but is more of a switch.... and that’s ok too.... tig chatted with phatsmn again... going to talk to Master about the trip and see if He would like to stop in and meet him while going through... it might be a good diversion. tig was invited to an overnight at the Sauna on March 18/19, this is the weekend following tigs last day at the bank... the time away to reflect would be real nice... and the best thing is tig doesn’t have to pay.... will have to ask permission from Behr.... things have really opened up with him... and tig has to admit... it’s nice... tig went through the 2nd assignment last night and answered the questions.... now tonight will start going through a second time to readdress each question and to make sure the response matches what is being asked. There are some good questions in there.... makes one really think....

Assumptions, misunderstanding, clarity, dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s, explanations. Guess these are all things that need to be considered on both coast lines.... what tig hears and understands may not always be what is being said... and to assume that it is would be a big mistake.... maybe tig needs to restate what he understands when given orders and/or directions... just for clarity sake....that would clear up any misunderstandings.... at least until tig knows Behrs ways better.... such as the texting... Behr stated that during training idol chat was to be limited and directed to him... tig understood that to mean no more texting pup... text Behr instead.... guess that wasn’t right.... maybe tig should request a more definitive response... yes/no. tig doesn’t know... it just feels different... like tig isn’t a part of the “family” anymore but more of an object.. not at all what was understood from the beginning and not what the manual or website states it’s supposed to be.... tig will have to monitor that feeling closely before the move... the trip to CA continues to grow in the discussion arena... got a new assignment tonight… 99 questions about the slave psyche…. Interesting questions…. Have to have it turned in by the 6th… so gonna go start jotting notes down….

tig is here… cleaning his desk looking at Master’s leather collar… wondering what he has gotten himself in to…. the past 9 months tigs life has been fairly easy going… chatting, learning, tasks, duties and submission to Master. But that wasn’t enough… today and tonight some stuff that came out when wen was playing with tig at tomos place came back. Total submission… a release of everything to Master… when wen took me to that dark place there came a realization that tig wasn’t ready to give it all, something that tig wasn’t and isn’t ready to hear… but now has to… what will it take to get there? What can break tig through that wall of uncertainty to where all of the control that tig feels he needs can be released …. Surrendered to Master? Is there such a place that tig can seek and find? tig believes there is but where to start…. Well day 2 the final day of the test… it ends tonight with a shower… the results… desire… no enjoyment… yes, control – none, comfort – a lot… summary – tig still enjoys time in diapers but doesn’t have the need or drive to wear them as he did before… it’s bad… it’s good… it’s both… it’s neither… but it was good to go back to deal with the emotions of what brought tig to wear diapers in the first place… that in itself was worth the mini journey….

tig sits here tonight feeling more like a slave than he has yet… last night Behr and tig chatted… for a long time… he has finally taken the reigns and moved into the Trainer position that he should be in… it is a wonderful feeling…. He has been and tig hopes will stay more available… scruffy informed tig that Behr was HIS Master and that tig was to keep hands off… so it seems that tigs relationship with pup is the same as Behrs relationship with scruffy…… hmmmm interesting. Its getting a bit tiring though to have scruffy say that he doesn’t have to do journals, and follow the rules because he is “different” … it seems to tig that if he is an omega pledge slave and scruffy is an omega pledge slave then the rules should be the same…. tig doesn’t really care what scruffy does or doesn’t do… but would like him to stop rubbing it in…. might need to bring it up to Behr for guidance… tig will see if it persists… now to the test… night #2 day #1 in diapers… tig wishes he could say that he’s not into them any more… but that isn’t the case.. the drive isn’t there… that is true.. but the feeling and the emotions involved are there and strong… the comfort, security, sense of not being in charge… all still there all still very strong… is that good? Well … it’s not bad…. But tig is going to continue through the weekend… wearing Master’s diapers… and seeing what happens…. This is going to be a busy week for tig… Monday is a “date” with David – well dinner and movie… Tuesday is tigs 12th anniversary at the bank…. and shrove Tuesday… dinner out with the family… Wednesday tig gives his two week notice… Thursday tig drops and Friday, tig goes out with friends from work… Saturday… tig drops! Wow! What a weeks!

A crappy night... only an hour or so sleep...tig is having a hard time with the move change... but if Master so wishes... that’s what will be.... April 9th... Maybe tig should just venture out on his own for the trip... this way it won’t cost as much... it would take a full week but that’s ok too.... tig just has a hard time figuring the reasoning... but guess it’s not tigs to worry about... from the looks of it tig will still finish up on the 17th of March from the bank... because of the quarter end issue... tig can’t be working when the new quarter starts... because of the payback period here at the bank... but with the sale of the stocks tig should be able to swing it.... tig’s going to send off his resume and application to B of A today... see what they have to say.... it would be nice to have a job right away when the move happens.... chatted a bit with pup... tig doesn’t understand his attitude.... pup felt that it shouldn’t have taken this long to make the decision ... that because Master wanted it... end of topic... that’s the way it was to be.... he doesn’t understand that this isn’t a move next door or down the road.... there are factions at home, at work ... financial .... that need to be considered .... pup doesn’t realize that because of a “simple” 2 week push back... it will now cost tig around $400.00... where? rent (250.00 per month), food & utilities (about $150.00) .... tig can’t ask mom & dad to foot that kind of bill for tig... they just don’t have it either.... they need every penny they can get right now.... tig was able to make the changes... its gonna cost... but it’s done.... tig email Master and he seems ok with it... it’s hard for tig to not feel that this is because of something he did or said... or Behr.... or pup for that matter... on an emotional level it hurts... tig feels that he isn’t as “wanted” as he was led to believe... Behrs words “maybe you should reconsider joining the community” keep coming back and kicking tig... tig often wonders if that is exactly what they are trying to do....
The above was written early in the day…. And do not reflect the current feelings of tig…

community chat last night was fun... and a bit nerve wracking also... tig asked pup about the test for the weekend ... was told it was ok with him but that tig should ask the Masters... so tig took a deep breath and did... it’s a hard point in tigs life to have to go back to... the whole reason for searching in the first place.... not a happy time for tig.... but it’s all over.... Master gave his approval for the test... dinner out on Monday was also approved.... it will be nice to spend some time with David... met phatsmn on bear411 last night... seems to be a real nice kid... and look great... tig wouldn’t mind getting tied to him! or with him.... yummy! wow... tig seems to have a one track mind today... fetish and sex what a combo! tig is out of sorts today... kind of wacky... way too much time to play around..... tonight is going to be an early one.... that is for sure.... tig should be able to finish up his assignment and send it off tonight... a day early but that’s ok... Master will be able to have it first thing in the morning.... pup must have been really busy today... only answered one text but that was plenty for tig because it was pups signature “Grrwooofs”... that always makes tig smile and feel good.... tigs been wondering how much of all this will change when tig moves in.... when tig is working will he be able to text Sir? will the contact still be there? Had an interesting experience and one that tig isn’t sure how to handle…. First is with scruffy… when tig signed on scruff said he was horney… as was tig… so after dinner tig brought up to scruff the idea of playing online…. He said sure… so he asked Master… and tig further asked if we could release… at which Master said yes… so scruff and tig got online and started… we played for about 15 minutes before tig released… scruff said he gets too anxious to shoot on cam… wish he would have said that earlier… but it was fun anyways! Then the second thing… Master asked tig to move his relocate date back to leave maine on april 8th or 9th…. It was like being pushed into a brick wall! Wow… not sure what to do…. Will have to think about it…..

Last nights chat was ok... it was a good topic but stoney and wen tend to monopolize the conversation to a point that most in the group just sit back and “uh huh” the banter... last night was on trust... a topic that tig has come to know personally.... chatted with hound again prior to the Maine chat... he’s taking his time journaling but has jotted notes down... which is ok... it’s a start... there was a lot of information bounced around.... was asked again to share a cage with him, he wants to be shacked together with tig... told him that it was up to Master...upon chatting with hound it wouldn’t be far fetched for tig and hound to hook up... he is a wonderful, loving person and not bad in the looks department either!.... tig finds it very interesting that hound longs to be a sigma level slave... the top of the lowest division of slave... an object... nothing more... guess having the distance issue would make that a lot easier to deal with.... life becomes solely virtual. Master sent tig an assignment... not sure if this is just for tig of for the community.... to list his needs, desires and expectations.... then to write about where tig saw himself in 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years... this is a hard thing to think about... there are so many variables involved, so many unknowns... things like new house? new incoming slaves? we are a team, therefore things that happen to others affects tigs future.... as well as everyone else’s.... so tig looked at the task as an ideal.... level and duty wise is factual but place and the addition of people may be fictional.... it would be very interesting to read scruffy and hounds assignments.... tig would venture a guess that their needs would outweigh their desires. tig has 3 needs... food, water, shelter... the basic necessities... tigs desires are more involved.... tigs desires are to be wanted, needed, loved for who he is and what he offers... and tig also desires a chance to grow on and with his journey.... expectations... tig has come to realize that by placing expectations on something limits the natural growth that a person has in that area.... so has opted to enter the relationship free of expectations... simply put what happens.... happens..... bad things become learning lessons... good things become rewards... it’s just that simple.... tonight is community chat... it will be interesting to see who shows up and who has the excuses.... when everyone would show up the chats were lively and fun... lately Master and tig have enjoyed chatting just the two of us because no one else was online.... pup was either away or in meetings and Behr doing domestic things... Hmmm... guess Sir is busy today, tig tried texting him a few times and hasn’t received a response yet... either that or he is upset with tig over something.... most likely just busy.... it’s an odd day here at work... between the sick people and the mistakes that are coming through.... it will be a miracle if we all survive! issues, issues, issues..... guess I can’t complain too much! :) considering I only have 17 working days left... been invited out Monday night for dinner and a movie with Baraccus80... a friend that pup asked I hook up with online... unknown to him... I knew him already... we were diaper buddies back when tig was into that... we no longer meet to hang out in diapers but still chat on a regular basis... we are going to so dinner at the Ground Round and then go see Date Movie at the Flagship... it will be nice to spend some one-on-one time with him... he’s a real nice kid.... will ask Master tonight for permission to go.... next week looks like it’s going to be a busy week... Wednesday tig will be meeting with his Supervisor, co-supervisor, lead and Manager to tend his two week notice... it still all seems so surreal1. Even though we had 211 items today we were still done by 11:30 when tig went to lunch..... hmmm... just thinking about fetishes.... tig enjoyed his time that he would spend in diapers... but hasn’t had the urge that he used to have to wear them... which raises a bunch of questions.... Is serving Master a replacement for the fetish? In a way tig feels it is.... in looking at why tig wore them... it gave tig a freedom... a chance to let go of all responsibilities... tig didn’t need to be the responsible one... children don’t have authority... no laws.... something tig was looking for.... a place and time to relinquish all control.... even of his bodily functions.... is that what tig is seeking in his Master? yup.... someone to take the control.... tig may chat with pup about this tonight.... about being allowed to wear again... maybe a couple of times.... just to see what/if the emotional tie is and if it still is there.... tigs equipment for this is vast and costly... and will be brought to CA with him.... just in case Master Cage, Master Behr or pup would like to utilize them... since all of tigs “toys” are now the property of Master and the community..... what about other fetishes? are they the same.... tig supposes that they are but can’t say for sure since tig isn’t involved in them..... tig finds in interesting how different fetishes create different emotions.... Leather is power... control.... age play... loss of control... or even humiliation. hmmmm... interesting! tig will search a list of fetishes and see if he can assign an emotion to them.... that might be something for the community to see and read..... could be of use to Master...
