'Joe Hill' Joan Baez

I wonder how many people simply don't realize that the heart-pounding, fevered pitch of new 'love' doesn't last? Wonder how many give up on a relationship before it has time to evolve into something richer, stronger and actually more intimate? Rather that ruining or sabotaging a relationship, I wonder if many are just unwilling to go beyond the 'I-must-be-with-you-or-I'll-die' stage to the 'I've-never-felt-more-comfortable/accepted/at home' stage? Maybe we've come to equate passion with that initial frenzy of feelings? Not a bad time in and of itself, but when that begins to dissipate, how many lose interest or become bored?

I've known a few men who fancied me as the 'Eliza Doolittle' to their 'Professor Higgins'. Women aren't the only ones to set out to change the person they profess to love. I think it happens with folks who have control 'issues'...seems to afflict both genders from what I've seen.

Yeah...it sometimes crosses my mind. Then I remember how many men aren't azzholes, and I move on to something else.

Oh, good grief...isn't there enough in the world around us to indicate how much trouble we're in without looking for cryptic messages by playing sound-bites in reverse??? Really...with everything from the economy to the ecology...aren't we already in the proverbial hand basket and well on our way to a living hell? Do people really think Obama will get us there faster some how? This puzzles me.

Lou-Lou is a nickname from my childhood. A family friend gave me the name...he thought it matched my personality.

Bell x1 is swiftly becoming a favorite of mine. They've got a new album out.

My dog, Ralphie...and my young cat (who thinks Ralphie is his mother), Wally.

Absolutely. Out-right lies, lies of omission, deceit, secrecy, hidden agendas. Dishonesty

"Lover Lay Down" Dave Matthews Band

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1WBYWwYDvQ&feature=related

Spring sweet rhythm dance in my head
Slip into my lover's hands
Kiss me oh won't you kiss me now
And sleep I would inside your mouth

Don't be us too shy
For knowing it's no big surprise
That I will wait for you
I will wait for no one but you

Oh please lover lay down
Spend this time with me
Together share this smile
Lover lay down
Spend this time with me

Walk with me, walk with you
Hold my hands, your hands
So much we have dreamed
And we were so much younger
Hard to explain that we are stronger

A million reasons life to deny
Let's toss them away
See you and me we
Lay down look see
She and he
By my lover's side
Together share this smile
Each other's tears to cry
Together share this smile
Lover lay down

Oh please
Oh please lover lay down
Oh please lover lay down
And you weep
Lover lay down
Cause it's over
Lover lay down
Say love, say love, say love, say love, say love
Could I love you
Could you love me

All the same
'Til we dance away (4x)
Chasing me all around
Leading me all around in circles
Chasing me all around
Leading me all around in circles
Say...

I've never understood 'texting'. I'd rather just call and leave a quick voice mail...just seems easier to me.

I checked out 'Twitter' on-line. I don't get it. Seems a bit egocentric to me. Just not sure I care about what so many people had for lunch, ya know? I'm sure that most don't care about mine.

Not so bad. Thanks for asking.

These were some of my mother's favorites:

"As homely as a mud fence..."

"As clumsy as a pig on ice"

And the one that used to really stump us...

"It's a 'layovertocatchameddler'!" This was said with lightning-fast speed, as if all one word. It her response to the numerous, "What's that, Ma? What's that? What's that?" coming from her daughters when we were very small. It worked...we wandered off, completely puzzled, every time...

I don't think I ever will...not in that same, blind, irrational, overwhelming-all-reason way. Not such a bad thing. I'm not saying I won't love again...just saying I'll be wiser next time. I won't allow 'falling in love' to blind me...much better to be loving the person as he/she is...not the person you want him/her to be.

Classic beauty is the stuff that doesn't go away with the passing of years. It's heart, spirit, warm eyes, captivating smile...maybe even bone structure. The most 'classically' beautiful woman I've ever known was in her 70's and was paralized on the left side from a stroke. She had the most beautiful eyes, a wonderful, if slightly crooked smile, a marvelous sense of humor and enough heart to feel compassion for others. Incredibly beautiful woman.

Great idea! Wish I'd have thought of that at the time...

Yeah, that's creepy, but even creepier is those who request 'interesting' photos. Ummmmm, no...I'll pass.

Great idea...tequila!!!!!
