TOGETHER AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME
I'm utterly speechless. My being - heart, mind, body and soul - is spinning around and around. I'm mired in contradictions. I'm feeling the total bliss of simple contentment. I have finally touched someone I've seemed to know for 100 years. I'm finally feeling a closeness that can only be described as oneness...
I think I'll write more once I'm all sorted out...

THOUGHTS AS I COUNT DOWN
Isn't this the best part of breaking up
Finding someone else you can't get enough of
Someone who wants to be with you too
It's an itch we know we're gonna scratch
It's gonna take awhile for this egg to hatch
But wouldn't it be beautiful
Here we go, we're at the beginning
We haven't f***ed yet, but my head's spinning
Why Can't I

MY WEEKLY PERSONALITY ANALYSIS
I figured why not make this a regular feature. Everyone should spend time analyzing themselves at least once a week, anyway.
I'm Obi-Wan Kenobi, which Jedi Knight are you???

TICK, TOCK, TICK
Thirty-six hours from now, we'll see if life really rebounds, if what goes around really does come around, and if dreams can come true after being broken to pieces.In the end the love we live with
Is the love that we wait for
And the waiting cuts like a knife
In the end the love we hoped for
Is the love that we learned with
Looking for the love of my life
The love of my life

REVENGE OF MY INNER NERD
I was at Barnes and Noble today buying a "Welcome Home" gift for a friend. I resolved NOT to indulge on this book I've had my eye on for awhile, Mike Nelson's Mind Over Matters. I succeeded!
Instead, I bought Bobos in Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There by David Brooks. It seems that I keep seeing this referenced just about everywhere as of late. It's...

FINALLY, A TV SHOW BANDWAGON I WON'T JUMP ON
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy on Bravo - I described the concept to a friend who said , "This sounds vaguely offensive." I agreed, but this was the very reason I had to see it.
As usual, though, whenever something promises to be titilatingly offensive, it ends up being mostly harmless and rather silly.
However, I did like the end bit where the...
OPPORTUNITY IS "NOWHERE" OR "NOW HERE"?
I saw this referenced in someone else's blog. My apologies, but I just can't remember where.
In any case, whoever green-lit this web address is proof of why one needs degrees in the areas of marketing and advertising.

AND, STILL NO WEATHER PIXIE!
Since Site Meter tells me that a few more people read this blog than the 2 to 5 people I already know read it, I decided to try a little experiment.
I popped in a Tag Board for general comments and/or polling the masses about whatever random question occurs to me.
So, let's see...Commenting available on every post - CHECK

EARLY EXAMPLE OF THE CORRUPTING INFLUENCE OF CORPORATE AMERICA?
I was talking with a friend of mine -- no, no one had "hurt her pride." Get it? Tom Petty and the... eh, nevermind. I was talking to her earlier this morning, and we briefly hit upon the subject of Lee Majors, the Six Million Dollar Man. Don't bother wondering how something like that would come up; that's just how we are. Anyway,...

ANOTHER PLEASANT VALLEY SUNDAY
I had a bit of time after church and was sitting here rummaging through email.
This month's issue of the WORK IT! Newsletter (it's a job search book written by Allison Hemming, an alum of my alma mater, the University of Dayton) had this piece of advice as to how to get yourself out of a job-hunting rut. I highlighted a key section.
2. Give yourself a break (literally!)....

BIG BROTHER IS STILL WATCHING!
Just for kicks, I've added a sitemeter counter. I've actually had the account for a few weeks but have been too utterly lazy to install it.
Don't worry, I'm not gathering information to launch some nefarious plot for world domination or assume your identity. I vow not to publish any info that I obtain (unless you tick me off), harass you (unless you deserve it),...

THE CURLY SHUFFLE
The "this way to the egress" link above no longer points to my AOL homepage. I don't know why I've decided to do that all of a sudden, truth to tell. Links from there point here, after all, and may stay that way, at least for the time being. I've sort of MacGyver-ed a page for my long-unused geocities space, and since I've started using that email address again as of late, I...

NEEDS TO BE SEEN TO BE BELIEVED
I'm not too amazed by the fact that TNN would have a show like Stripperella. I saw my very first episode tonight, as I couldn't reach the remote fast enough when RAW ended. Yes, it's pretty much everything what one would imagine: jokes targeted at Howard Stern's fanbase and blurred out animated images of breasts.
What does amaze me is that it really IS a Stan Lee...

BOIL AND BUBBLE
I'm sitting here engaging in my usual Saturday morning NPR ritual before work and again giving some thought to the various ups and downs of my present life. Money problems abound again, but nothing I won't make it through (I don't think). And, this time around, I have as many, if not more reasons to be happy than sad.
I keep coming back to this verse of the song My Thanksgiving:

LIVIN' LA VIDA INTERESANTE
I know it's been a dry spell for blog entries. Working, turning 30, and closely following Wimbledon for the first time in about five years were some of the things keeping me occupied over the past week or so. I've also spent a fair amount of time connecting on multiple levels with someone who's quite possibly my mirror image, while at the same time working out various...

AND THE WINNER IS...
I decided that I'd use a third, different song as my "Birthday Theme." I can't remember if I've mentioned this song before or not. But hey, it's my birthday and my blog :) -- 7/3/MCMLXXIII!
Many reasons that hold you back
Tell you no, make you fall short of what you want to say
Too many voices in my head
Where's the boy who used to take chances
Used to say when I grow up to...

MORE BORROWED LYRICS
For E...
Did you ever love somebody
Did you ever really care
Did you ever need somebody
Just to rub your hair
All the energy we spend on motion
All the curcuitry and time
Is there any way to feel a body

TURNING
George Carlin on age:
(I highlighted a relevant secion)
And then the greatest day of your life... you become 21.
Even the words sound like a ceremony... YOU BECOME 21... YESSSS!!!
But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk. He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?
You BECOME...
