It's Monday morning, the world's still turning, the sun's getting ready to come up, and I'm still alive. That's plenty of reason to be thankful, and I am. How about you?

If you'd like to share your proudest moment, your most embarassing event, or even the birth of a child, I'd love to hear about it, and I'm sure, so would the many friends we all have on here.
So, share with us...so we can smile, laugh, cry, or be happy with you or for you...two.

I realize quite often men say they don't dance. But after all these years if they think about it they do.

Every time a man sways while holding a baby during standing, or even makes love to a woman, he's moving in such manners of dancing positions. Just stand straight, grab a partner, and try it. If you step on her feet a couple of times, that's fine. She'll get over it.

If you bump into someone, behind you, no big deal, they've done it time and time again, if they dance on a crowded floor.

All that matters, is that you have one arm around that special womans waist, one of her hands in your hand, and your enjoying the music, the atmosphere, and seeing the sparkle that is coming from her eyes when she looks into your eyes.

That sparkles either love/lust or else she's got one heck of a sense of humor, and you're going to be really good friends, and still make loads of memories together.

Not only that, but we all can do things when we have someone else there that we love, share an interest with, want to please, and quite honestly can't keep our hands off of.

It is nice to have a three day weekend to lay around the house. I just wish there was somebody to lay around with ?????? I work sun-wed & put in 40+ hrs. I love my time off. But i am looking for someone to share my days off with. I was a lil' , now i am a HA HA !!

How nice, wake up late and sit around with a cup of tea, browsing the forums and not really doing much of anything. The sun is shining brilliantly here in Bim (aka barbados) with a good brisk breeze. Course, that means I will start to feel the need to take care of laundry and go out and wash the car...and there's a new shower curtain to put up, the flush thingy in the second bathroom needs to be replaced and I really need a shelf to display all my pots. Gee its really easy to shift a mood isn't it? Any second now I am going decide I have to go to the gym!This is what I get for not meditating, a mind jumping all over the place instead of resting in the moment...or perhaps its the caffeine. Sometimes I don't know how we humans manage any semblance of sanity - although possibly other peoples' minds are more tranquil than mine. I can move from utter peace to utter chaos in nano seconds, the good thing is that I have experienced serenity and peace so at least I know what I am looking for when I am running back and forth on the seesaw in my brain. Middle ground and balance. I pass through it on my way from one extreme to the other. It would be endlessly boring to be enlightened and continuously at peace. No drama and no NEED for drama; how would I write with all conflict smoothed from my soul? Is there heat without some deep core ambivalence to pose a question? If I ever find there is an answer once and for all do I cease to exist? Hell, I am not even sure there has ever been an I to question with, I can understand oubourous swallowing its tail! Time to have more tea!

has an odd charm. Once I put the station back onto automation, tidy away my scripts and CD's and wash the occasional coffee cup I am free to drive home through the dawn. The sun is at my back, reflecting shards of light off my side mirrors straight into my eyes and I drive along the highway and wonder where the people out running came from. Did they drive here and leave their cars in some convenient lay by or have they been running, jogging. power walking for hours taking them far far from home? I'll never know unless someone emails in the answer to my question. Of course I asked, how else will I find out? Although it is more romantic to picture them striving and lost in the sheer experience of running, so involved in that moment that they never noticed they strayed far from home.

That's how it is for me on good nights. Five plus hours pass between one breath and the next and the echoes of my midnight time check have not yet faded when I introduce the dawn. Last night was a good night, the music flowed and my words wove a magic story knitting all the elements
together. My hands wove back and forth across the pots and faders, clicked the decks and triggered the computer without a fumble. I am totally alone there from midnight till morning, the only other living beings, the cows out in the pasture behind the station chewing on their grassy cud. I sing along to songs and smile and tell my stories, create my scheharazade moments never even knowing if I am heard.

I am a good and funloving person, I do like to have a good time. I heop to meet some nice people to have a good time with talk and have coffee or some drinks Iam not much for drinking one or two here or there. I like good music and good movies. Like to know more about me just ask ?
I do go to church on sunday.

A lot of people ask me why I never had kids. I really do not have a good excuse. Except I never knew anyone that was giving them away like puppies. I am being funny, it is a joke.
Truth of the matter is, it was never so much intentional, to not have kids. I just never got around to it. I know a bit of a stretch, a man to lazy to father a child. What I mean is, I never got to the point in my life where I felt I was ready both mentally and financially. I ws born and rasied very poor. I told myself I would not have children until I could at least make sure they would be provided for, college, insurance, etc. But life in it's infinate roller coaster ride, never allowed me to get stable long enough to actually follow through.
First, I wanted to get the business, started, then it was build a house. Later I wanted to change everything and attended college as an adult. Before I knew it, I was in my id to late thirties, and the thought of having a child was getting to be less and less of a reality. Instead of me being more stable, I seemed to be further from stability, and now deeply in debt.
Next thing I know, I am approaching forty. By now I have nieces and nephews, that are old enough to come visit. I could spoil them, then send them home. I will get back at my brothers and sisters for not being nicer to me as their older brother.. bahahahahaa Then in my early forties came the divorce. It was all over but the crying.
Now I am starting my fifties. I sit here pouting that I have no grandchildren. Well who's fault is that? I cannot blame anyone but myself. Had I taken the initiative, and knocked up some girl in high school, or one of those dozens of hot mama's that were ready to get a bun in the oven when I was single and looking. I could have cured that problem. But no, not me. I had to wait. A friend who has two lovely grandchildren told me, (way to late) "When it comes to having kids, if you wait until the time is right.. you will never have them."
Well, I guess my nieces and nephews will have kids soon. Maybe I can spoil the HELL out of them too. Yes. I am evil.

Awhile back I read a book that helped me know myself and others. The author stated that we are all blends of only four distinct personality types. When we know ourselves, it is easier to understand others. Here's the four:

1) Powerful Choleric (Driver)
2) Perfect Melancholy (Analytical)
3) Popular Sanguine (Expressive)
4) Peaceful Phlegmatic (Amiable)

We will usually have strength and sub-strength blends but one will most probably dominate. I have seen that I am most often in agreement with others of the same strength, learn more from other social styles, and surprisingly we will date and marry our opposites. If we truly understand ourselves and each other, we will see that we have all been brought together to make a whole. Pretty cool, huh?

Well, I was fairly on the mark with my 'diagnosis'. Good cholesterol is high so my lipids rock; and they gave me a call back in a year so I guess they expect the patient to live. Oh and the tricuspids are leaking not the mitral valve. Nothing to worry about. I could have bought so many more books in NY if I hadn't had to pay for those tests! And i am going to skip the doppler thing on the leg to prove the swelling is caused by valvular insufficiency - I rather get me some deep lymph moving massage for a couple of weeks and some acupuncture. Cheaper and it will change things not prove things. Four massages and five acupuncture sessions for less than the cost of the test - a definite no brainer.

It is 8:20 now and I go on air at midnight (90.7 FM but i doubt anyone can get it outside of the caribbean) reviewing a couple of movies, my usual diatribe against bad drivers and foolish pedestrians, green living and the joys of internet connections perhaps! Certainly my usual piece on how not to conduct a relationship - all the mistakes I made in life are just another radio show! Woo hoo! Got to eat and get centered. Closing down the mental floodgates.
