"If I'm gonna hook-up in addition to a chocolate bar, I want the car running, the heat on, FM radio, a clean vinyl back seat, and handi wipes." Now, I don't care who you are...that's funny!
I think it's easy to take a situation and apply our own interpretations, experiences, judgements etc...
In studying Zen Buddhism, an example I recall hearing was: Take the wind blowing through the tree tops on a sunny afternoon. Someone may experience that and become inspired and translate that into the words of a poem to convey what they felt. But what if all it is, is just the wind, blowing through the tree tops, on a sunny afternoon? Nothing more, nothing less.
Personally, I tend to agree with, "Where is the passion, the romance? He could have splurged and got her a chocolate bar..."
But who knows...I certainly don't. Just sharing a random musing from a deranged mind.
BTW, love the title of the blog as well! That's what caused me to click and read...
Cheers to all!
