Love doesn't die
If you have ever truly loved a person you know what I'm talking about. Love doesn't die. It changes. Sometimes it changes so much that it makes you believe it's become some kind of hatred. No, no. It's just changed. Believe it or not, it's still love. A different love, but still. It's part of you, it won't go away. Sorry to...

He drinks Redbreast? Well fuck him. Oh wait too late. Good for you darlin'. Although I'm not sure I trust a man with only one vice. Wait a minute I have a witness that claims he fornicates. Thats at least two vices maybe more depending on how many positions and toys are used. All right you have my approval (as if you needed it.)
misty2262:
HA! Glad I have someone's approval, although you know me. It seems I get someone close enough and they freak me out and I run away like they have a disease or something. I can't seem to let my guard down and let anyone in my life. Not sure what the hell my fucking problem is, I just know it's beginning to piss me off a bit. I mean, I'm not getting any younger. Maybe I'll just start dating women. Ask the Red Menace if she'll be my date. Oh wait, nevermind, she's married. Ask her anyway. I don't think her husband would mind. If he does, I think I could take him.
That time of the year again!

Well I'm not sure this is ideal but if you moved home and became a streetwalking prostitute you would get exercise, a new job, closer to your friends, and lots of sex. Just trying to think outside the box no pun intended.
misty2262:
HA! Finn, when I lived at home I was a streetwalking prostitute....you were my pimp but I fired you for slacking. One job has said no, waiting to hear from the other one. I will not give up though. OK, going back to bed. I'm still drunk I think. lol
P.S. Give the menace a huge hug for me and tell her that younger men rock!

Why are the loudest people are often perceived to be the most idiotic? Is there some correlation between volume and arrogance, and if so, are there correlations between arrogance and idiocy and volume and idiocy? Is the old saying about the wise man and his silence true?
I believe so.
So much of society is fueled by hatred. People associate Liberals with Democrats with anti-religionists;...

Boy darlin you werent kidding when you said you were in the mood to pontificate.
Rather than a debate on the specifics of what you talked about Im just going to talk a little about what I found myself thinking about after reading your post. They say the difference between a happy and a tragic ending is when you stop telling the story. A little while back Ray Charles died. I heard everyone talk about the tragedy of it. Try as I might I cant see the tragedy. The man lived to be 74 years old. Had a rich full life that included unparalleled success in his chosen field. We should all be so lucky. Does something become a tragedy merely by its end? All things end.
But then perhaps it seems tragic due to our perception of time. Our linear sense of time is convenient for creatures that live and die by causal effect but it is to be remembered that is in the end nothing more than a useful illusion.
So I have made an argument that ending is only an illusion and not inherently tragic, but instead a natural and inevitable event. Or at least I have discussed the notions that lead me to believe this and I respect you enough to know you can make the connections without diagram. You can agree or disagree as is your wont, it is merely my philosophy. But if you agree then the logic would apply similarly at all levels from lives, relationships, sexual encounters, and T.V. shows to species, worlds, suns and universes.
What is a species anyway? The simple description is a group of animals fitting a certain description that can mate or reproduce in some fashion. Its relatively easy to tell the difference most of the time when observing from one point in time. But given the nature of evolution there must be an area of overlap when creatures have characteristics of both species. So ultimately, an arbitrary line is drawn for the convenience of those who classify.
So yes Humanity as we know it will end. Either we will die out or become so different than what we are now that some one will change the label. In the end this is neither tragic nor avoidable. All things being equal its been pretty interesting. I suppose we could concentrate on the base and banal, and Im not suggesting we sugar coat things, but there has been much of the beautiful and the strange as well. I could make a list of great artists and scientists or discuss the intricacies of love and chocolate but I wont. Sometimes when I can separate myself enough there is wonder to be found in 2X4s and hotdogs.
Rationality and objectivity are not the same. To be objective you assume nothing, you judge nothing, and you remove all personal bias. To be rational you take all information garnered (hopefully) objectively and apply classifications and prioritize based on preconceived criteria and ultimately make judgments. Ideally the two notions are intertwined but still separate.
All this is how I can be an idealist and a realist, a romantic and a cynic, a lover and a fighter.
Ok, its late. Hopefully I said something interesting or at least annoying.
