Could this be the way to success in romance?
I love to read. i will read just about anything lying around. Old newspapers, throwaway articles from the freebie newsstands, old magazines and on and on.But my true passion is reading books from the library. During my time away from work or where I have no job I will go to the library and read. i have books when I go home that I have checked out. And that is where this story leads to.I have lately begun reading Ray Bradbury books. "Fahrenheit 451", I just finished "Something Evil Comes This Way" and now I am into "The Illustrated Man".
But let's get back to "Something Evil This Way Comes"! This book has a paragraph on love that perhaps is the solution for a man to finding the right woman. The scene takes place in the library where the protagonists are escaping bad guys from a horror carnival. They are Jim and Will, 2 kids, and will's Dad, Charles Holloway. As Will asks his father, and by Will's admission there was a puzzling relationship between these 2, why he married his mother. Charles Holloway answers:
In part, because I didn't mark this area off and I lost the whole monologue because I forgot to, Mr. Holloway describes his wife; ".....your mother has a wonderful set of eyes. I look at her eyes and I see that she see's love, and care for us (I am making part of this up because as I said I forgot the exact place in the book where it lies but you get the idea of his answer to Will) and I love her eyes. I see her nose and she (again I am making this part up) has a wonderful that smells the right things in life. I love her nose! Charles Holloway goes on with more love for his wife and what she has done for him and Will. Again, using parts of her body that may or may not look "good" but Mrs. Holloway was a woman that portrayed herself with what she had in a good way.
My point is, maybe men should look more at what he really likes about a certain women and really think about it. Does it fit into his way of looking at love and at her and not merely for s*xual pleasure.? I see many men walking with women they are in love with that are obese and not too many years ago men wanted the "hot looking" woman. I know what these men see in their obese companions. Eyes and noses that made him think she was the right one.
Everyone has special features about them. And I think we men should look deeper into a woman for them.
All credit and thanks goes to Ray Bradbury for this inspiring description on women!!

-but also the oppositt arround if things go wrong...
I remember the great authors like Bradbury, Raymond Chandler, Isaac Asimov, Elegsabiff, Stephen King, Robert Frost, Ernest Hemingway, robrt787 and the likes.
Always some messages or thought provoking situations in their stories, poems and such.
I think a guy should look past a girl's physical beauty sometimes, yes all the pancake mix foundation and so on, and look to feel what she is truly about within. The true beauty of any person, the heart and soul within.
Have a great day!
used to read a lot of books...not anymore...spare time goes to blogs
My best friend lives in Canada, we don't get together very often and when we do there is always a moment of shock at the changes since the last meeting, and since we were both 16 together. Only a moment. She's exactly as she was then, in everything important.
We do giggle a lot, though. Fun to be with someone who knew you when you were 16!
In friendship, and in love, it is the person who matters.
Nice blog!
