Green Card
Seems like everybody is going for the much coveted green card! 
Much sought after by many, especially those from Asia.
Hmmm.......
Maybe I should jump on the bandwagon and get myself a green card too, no?!?
So.......is there any good-hearted American out there who's willing to take in this terrible + miserable cook with greasy hair? I'd love very much to be able to get into America so that I could shop at Wal-Mart and eat at Taco Bell....and that...would be a dream come true....

The Pain of Being in love with someone you can nev
I came across the article and found it interesting so decided to share.
The Pain Of Being In Love With Someone You Can Never Be With by Paul Hudson
Love is a tricky thing. It varies in intensity and in the specificity of emotions. It is sometimes the most beautiful thing in the world and, at other times, it’s the most horrid thing we’ve ever come face-to-face with.
It’s odd how one thing could be the cause of so many contrary feelings. But that’s what makes love so beautiful – it’s the closest thing to perfection that exists in the world, the only thing that can easily and comfortably encompass both good and evil, beautiful and ugly.
It’s the closest thing to a flawless whole that man has ever claimed to have been part of.
When we think of love, we think of the happy kind of love, the kind that is the beginning of something beautiful – something that breathes life.
There is, however, another kind of love, a much darker and sadder kind of love. It’s the love one feels when one loves someone he or she can never and will never have.
It’s the kind of love that doesn’t signal the beginning of something beautiful, but rather the end of something that might have been beautiful, but will never amount to anything more than what it is.
Contrary to popular belief or popular wishful thinking, love doesn’t always end happily. It doesn’t always result in the joining of two people, the fusing of two lives into one.
Sometimes, on rare occasions, it results in the wedging apart of the two who love each other the most. You can love someone with all your soul and never get a chance to be with that person. Even worse, you can know that you love him or her, understanding there is no possibility that the two of you will ever be together.
Some people cannot and will not ever end up together, even if they do love each other. It’s a sad truth, but a truth, nonetheless.
The fact is, love is not enough. All those fairytales, all those stories and movies you’ve heard and watched growing up, lied to you. Love is never enough because love is not rational.
You hear that love is irrational all the time, yet you still hear the same people saying that love is enough to keep two people together.
Unfortunately, we live in a world governed by rationality, and while love may be irrational, and we may manage to make it work for some time, the real world always catches up with us and our irrational illusions dissipate into thin air.
Then we are left with reality and reality doesn’t always reason the way lovers do.
Some people don’t work out together. They have habits or beliefs that make it impossible to co-habitate with the person they love. There isn’t a couple out there that loves every little thing about one another.
Sure, they may find certain quirks cute or unique, but they don’t love them; they simply accept them. There are some people who have such habits, tendencies, or thinking patterns that really do make them incompatible with the other person.
The two may love each other fully, because remember, love isn’t rational, yet not be able to live and deal with each other forever. This is why relationships require compromise.
You’re not going to love everything about the person you are with, but you love enough about him or her to live with the things you don’t love. Not all people are willing to, or even able to, compromise. Sometimes it just doesn’t work, regardless of what our emotions tell us.
Compromising, of course, is a choice. You either choose to make it work or you choose not to. I believe this fully. As long as something doesn’t go against your nature, over time you can make it work. But there are still some cases when compromising isn’t enough.

I hope you have many more! Enjoy "your day"!!!
So what's worse? Old photo or no photo?
Spotted a couple of recent blogs going on, yet again, about profiles with no pics.
What do you think? *does a twirl*
I'm not going to meet any of you, after all. You all live so far away! The only person I know on CS knows what I look like. I like this grinning pic, I don't pretend to still look exactly like that, but I still feel like that in my head.
Anyone really care one way or the other? Keep it up? Back to faceless?

Tribute To Connecting Singles
Amid the corridors of the internet
There's a website called Connecting Singles
It's portrayed as a dating site, and yet
Some folks are there merely to intermingle
It's a mix of different nationalities
Which gives it an international flavour
It features attitudes of all varieties
Ideal for a study of human behaviour
There's a mixture of blogs, forums and poetry
In which all are free to participate
Some do so very unassumingly
While others tend to argue and debate
Some interaction is innocent banter
With others, it can get to a heated stage
Where sparks fly that sometimes ignite a fire
Some get burned while others get in a rage
The site moderators seek to maintain order
And to prevent things from getting out of hand
So please be mindful of your behaviour
Else in Connecting Singles jail you may land

Is a photo and a few lines enough?
A dating site is very similar to a shop were you put your goods in the window ( photos and profile) with the hope of catching a person's attention as they browse the site?
The problem starts when you enter the shop! most women have a meet and greet message (if they like your profile) then seem to go quiet rather than encourage the dialogue along?

Hopeless
I'm always finding myself stuck in these situations where You know with every being of yourself that the One you're with is bringing you down! I care to deeply to hurt him!I Love to strongly to just walk away! I know I am good for him! He is a better man because of Me! I have given my all to him However, He gives NOTHING back! Everything is so One-Sided with him he talks in circles and drives me crazy!! He can be so mean at times that I actually feel Hate for him! But then, he always manages to sucker me back in! He can make feel like he loves me and he can make me so happy at times that the whole rest of the world just disappears!!! He's everything I want and Love!!! And... He's NOT!!! How can someone be so wonderful and so ugly!! How can someone Love another so much and turn around and be the most hateful and ugly person!!! How can one man make me so happy and so miserable at the same time?? I know he'll NEVER change!! He'll NEVER SEE or know what he does to me!! I swear He builds me up just to tear me down!!
I'm torn, twisted, shattered and most of all Hopeless!! Hope is everything! Without Hope, there's Nothing!!
I'm blogging this because I have no one to confide in! No one to help me make the choice! Is there even a right choice? I don't want or need perfection!! ALL I Want, ALL I NEED is to Matter!!
I KNOW my worth! I Know I'm unique!! I'm NOT perfect! But I CARE!!! I LOVE!!! I BELIEVE in treating others the way You want to be treated!!! I want to be treated right!! I don't deserve the crap I take!! And I don't know what to do with it! I do know! However, I battle myself over it..................
I know Him!!! And I don't! I'll defend him and protect him because I believe in him!! Maybe I'm waisting my time, maybe time doesn't matter!
Maybe.... I'm just hopeless!!! Maybe this is my destiny! maybe I'll just be DONE!! I wish I would! I'm so tired of it all!!!

New Member Alert
What a dating site !
I know some of you guys are going to welcome a new CS member who has.....flopped out on the scene recently.
Indeed, a couple of her profile pictures are real standouts. I wanted to keep you a breast of the situation.
According to her profile she is "looking for a man", and somehow she's "already seen your profile" and "thinks you're pretty'.
Put your hands together......or wherever you want to place them
and give Jasmin a big hug or motorboat.
