Quote Of The Day: "There's a certain way a man looks at the woman he loves. The man looks like a boy on his birthday and he treats the woman like she is a gift that he has waited so long to have and he cant wait to see what the treasure is inside......" 100 girls
I both loved and hated the movie that this quote came from. On one hand it reveals truth about the interactions of men and women in romatic and non-romatic settings, often times showing us the exact truth of what lies beneath other words and conversations. While on the other hand it gives unreal perceptions of sexual intimacy and social proceedings, it gives us examples of fantastical situations that dont typically happen in an everyday situation. I do like its description of sex and how it can often be described, "We made that kinda love where you just laugh together and your bodies make that farting noise when air gets trapped in between you." I like this because it provides an example of a potentially embarrasing situation during a very intimate encounter that you will not often hear mentioned in romance movies where people have perfect sex. But on to the main quote for today. This is true, isnt it guys? Dont we look at the woman of our dearest affections and see her with eyes that hold her as something akin to a goddess? I certainly hold this to be true, that you look at her no matter where you are or what your doing and you just smile because she's there. You smile because your near her, she could talk about anything in the entire world but you'll smile because you can hear her voice and see that face that alights an inner flame within you. You smile like a boy at his birthday because as far as your concerned just the privelage to be near her is the greatest gift you can possibly recieve. Now this doesnt mean that, at other times, you wont argue or say things to anger or even hurt one another because not everbody gets along perfectly 100% of the time, and besides, who would want to? Sometimes it is those fights that bring you closer together and help you too realize what is special about one another and in so doing ignites more passion for that opposite sex. Take all of this with a bit of sand folks because I am a poet and writer so naturally everything gets a bit of flare and I do tend to mix inner thoughts and things that are generally on my mind with my words. And if it sounds like im a tad zealous about this subject lately, well its probably cause I am, wanna know why? Well you just find me and ask me and ill tell you a little secret. Sometimes love is about appreciating the changes in the other person, seeing how they have matured and then re-evaluating your affections and finding you love them all the more. I think what many people get confused about these days is comfortability. Love isnt just about being comfortable around someone because you've grown acustomed to them or because you think its daring, trendy, or interesting to be with them. Those are the things that constitute faux love.

Wistfully The Traveler Smiled To Himself As He Walked His Path
Quote Of The Day: "Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up." -James Baldwin
A truely lovely and factful quote. Love is truly a growing action, something that you are continually developing upon and seeking to improve no matter what the type of love. This holds true for something as simple as a crush to real unrequoited love, as well as reciprocated love and lust. My personal belief in love is that you cannot truly be in love until you can imagine yourself and your loved one old together but still holding the same passion for her as you did when you were young and stupid. But what happens when you can do that but the other person cant? Thats a good question, one for which I have no definate answer for, come ask me again in 40-50 years and ill let you know exactly what happens. But from my guess, you will measure everyone against that person and you will never find their match though if your lucky you'll find something different. I suppose part of the beauty is that you will forever love that person within the deepest depths of your heart, even if you wanted to you can never get rid of the love that was once the most prevalent thing in the world when you heard the lilt of her voice or stared into her eyes and saw a powerful and passionate soul staring back at you. It is when the sound of that voice can echo in your midn no matter how long its beens ince you last heard it, or knowing the exact and precise arch of her smile and the way her cheeks warm just the slightest and have a pinkish hue when she laughs. More important is the smile these things about her brings to your own face. Ya know at this point I dont even remember what I was talking about, lol. Entertain yourself for the moment until I think of something else to talk about.

Closing His Cloak And Pulling Down The Hood, Our Traveler Closed Himself Off To The World, Preferring To Reflect Inward
Quote Of The Day: ""The woods are lovely, dark and deep.But I have promises to keep,And miles to go before I sleep And miles to go before I sleep." Robert Frost 'Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening'
A question I have been asked a lot by different people after many years is whom my favorite author and poet is or which is my favorite book or poem. In truth I dont think ill ever be able to pick a favorite in either but I would have to say that Robert Frost is definately way towards the top of my poet list. 'Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening' and 'The Road Not Taken' are two of my favorite poems. Frost was one of the poets who could capture your mind and senses with the simplest of words. He is one of those classical poets that can make you smile and feel pleasent and deep feelings.
After returning from my vacation and having the summer to think I am ready to return to finish my classes at this pitiful excuse for a college. The sooner I finish my classes here at SOCC the sooner I can get to a better college (hopefully PSU, possibly UofO) here in Oregon then eventually to NYU, or GeorgeTown University. Im suffocating here, drowning in a sea of useless culture. The theatres here utterly suck, the movie cinemas arent that much better. I want to be in a city where I can go to shows, movies, and date a wide variety of people and make friends with new people. Right now I consider only three people to be truly good friends whom I cant trust. Mr. Happy, Ms. Quiet, and Lips (people who live here that is otherwise i'd include StarFire). The rest have fallen to ruin and become something less than true friends. Private Jackass and I no longer have common ground on which to speak. Our fallen Angel is no longer speaking to us and that is fine for she and her miserable excuse for a male companion may have one another and stay abord this sinking ship in blind bliss, too many time have I attempted to be civil and stay a friend when she refuses to have contact, call, or do anything as friends. So be it to the rest of them who are below mentioning. You cannot help the helpless and it is useless to try so I turn my back in order to face the rest of the world and see with open eyes both the good and the bad. As Mr. Frost once said "I can sum up life in three words: It Goes On" . My saluatations to those friends who are leaving this year; Lips, Horse Boy, and Chiuaua Man. Truly my salute to Chiuaua Man for having attained his lady love only to have realized she was not for him, "Tis better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all." it takes great strength to see the truth of our lives.
Now one thing I know we all see a lot of is those "Support Our Troops" signs and posts everywhere including many many blogs. Well id like to take this time to post my own
DO NOT SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, SUPPORT THE PRESERVATION OF ALL HUMAN LIFE EVERYWHERE. SUPPORT NO PRESIDENT WHO WOULD BRING WAR UNPROVOKED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OUR NATIONS HISTORY. BE A PATRIOT AND DO NOT SUPPORT THE WAR OR OUR TROOPS
Support our troops indeed, bah stupid blather. Support instead the freedom of choice this counrty professes to have been founded upon even if the choice of others differs from your own. Let no one tell you that you are un-patriotic for not supporting our war mongering president and his personal vendetta against Iraq and his quest to impose American authority over those who do not wish it. To be truly patriotic is to question the government whom you live under. Another election is soon to be upon us, support whichever candidate whom you think can help us the most and lead us towards a brighter more peacful future, do not be pressured by either side, choose for yourself. For me, I choose Kerry because out of the two I believe him to be the lesser of two evils. But do not let these military personell and sad excuses for wanna be military personel influence you with their talk of how much we are wanted in some countries because you hear only one side of a very very complicated issue. Know that killing, no matter the reason, is murder even if it is in the name of war, patriotic duty, or God itself, for murder is murder. Let no party, republican or democrat truly hold ultimate sway over your future because only a balance can lead us to where we will be the safest. Support a return to traditional values and a more moralistic society but also support ones right to choose their sexual orientation, support a womans right to choose whether to birth her child or not, support same sex marriages and let no one person be left out of the warm embrace of a forgiving and understanding society. If we are to truly be the worlds greatest nation let us also be the worlds most enlightened society which understands that we are all different in many ways and let us forgive the grievances of the past. Let racism and sexism become words that we teach our children in history classes. Let there be equality for the sexes but do realize that men and women have their differences. Worship whatever god you choose and let no one tell you that you are wrong or a heathen because not oen person alive on this earth today knows the truth of our creation or what happens when we cease to breathe another breath because all we can do is speculate with no true proof either way. Keep an open mind though, because anything is possible.
