Well certainly not Mel B, Sporty or Baby... I do believe you hit the nail on the head even though my vision must be greatly distorted as you are looking a bit pale right now... I do have a wonderful memory though and I have known you for more than a year so try to hide your face it just ain't gonna work...
Now how can you say that your personal concerns are whining? You are much to smart for that kind of residue to mar your spirit. You presence in the short time you have been here is much appreciated and we would be so much less than our worst days if we were to refuse you an indulgence to speak your mind. We all lear from each other and you are turning out to be a very fine teacher. Don't let it thicken your skin though, women are the softer gender and for a good many reasons.
I know you were... and thanks for that I do need reminders every now and then... But I can't help wondering if you just read the thread again to make me feel better...
Sorry, it is very late in my day and I may just be a little oxygen deprived from my diesel filled day. It is quite a lovely thread even if you hide a few real messages inside all the funny ones.
So turn your own beliefs into the charade of religion and assume their fatalistic approach? Seems like if you can't beat 'em join 'em to me. Just be happy with who you are and post in a positive light from your own experiences like the 'enemy' Christians do. It works for those who have spirituality... give it a try, rather than deeming it worthy to denounce every other belief that doesn't jive with your own. Teach by example...?
Don there is such a serene solitude in a canoe it is pure magic. I have been an avid canoeist for many years myself and know with a certainty that I would learn oh so much sitting in absolute silence, fishing for trout of course, with you. I am starting to wonder now after reading many of your posts if your own last name isn't Williams...? If it is I would be more than happy to go out and buy double copies of your albums to help you with the frolicking with your Love. You deserve what you have found more than many I have met in my life and I am just shy of envious, in a good way of course.
Crotalus I am just shocked!!! Shocked I tell ya that you would have the utter audacity to speak of your lovely auntie this way. Shame on you young man, she's your family...
Lovely Riya I so do know how bashful you are... I did not in truth wish to upset your delicate sensibilities. I hope I haven't shamed you with this public declaration young lady?
From the beginning of my life I have been looking for your face but today I have seen it
Today I have seen the charm, the beauty, the unfathomable grace of the face that I was looking for
Today I have found you and those who laughed and scorned me yesterday are sorry that they were not looking as I did
I am bewildered by the magnificence of your beauty and wish to see you with a hundred eyes
My heart has burned with passion and has searched forever for this wondrous beauty that I now behold
I am ashamed to call this love human and afraid of God to call it divine
Your fragrant breath like the morning breeze has come to the stillness of the garden You have breathed new life into me I have become your sunshine and also your shadow
My soul is screaming in ecstasy Every fiber of my being is in love with you
Your effulgence has lit a fire in my heart for me the earth and sky
My arrow of love has arrived at the target I am in the house of mercy and my heart is a place of prayer
I do not for one second believe that he could kill anyone with that 'weapon' if he stabbed them a million times. Unless dying from laughter is something you are susceptible to?
1. Not much that can be done about this one. Time does have an irritating way of marching on and creating divisions. 2. Friends is the best place to start in any relationship. Who knows what the future holds (except mabe Sylvia Brown?). 3. Again this statement is the current outlook of the person. It is rather difficult to state with absolute clarity when you need a partner to even truly appreciate this discussion. Of course medical tampering can remove this topic from the conversation permanently. 4. Distance is merely time, the only currency we have to spend that is truly ours. No better way than with someone you Love to spend it. 5. Alien abductions...?
If each person here on CS tried to describe an apple we would likely have as many descriptions as there are people here. Each with their own inflection. No one of them would be less or more right. If an apple can cause such discepancy how great the variables on the intangible? Agree to disagree is the only solution. How long before a stance (any stance) becomes militant of sorts and thus the progression to religion? Religion is a cop out every time in every case. Belief is not subject to this as long as it is in truth your believe rather than some masticated verbology handed down from one set of lips to another.
Sorry this isn't about your thread (which is hillarious by the way) but it does pertain to the characters mentioned herein, or at least two of them. I work in a mine and we have three means of travel inside this filthy enormity. 1. We can travel by the ramp which is long, bumpy and tedious. 2. We can travel by the cage which is quite quick but only at certain times. 3. We can travel by a much smaller cage called the maryann.
Of the two cages, the main cages can hold 60 men on each of their two decks almost comfortably. The smaller cages (maryanns) can hold 8 people in a sausage factory type setting. I always thought that more people would fit if they named them gingers.
Daniel we cannot go back to change any thing that is already done. We must change ourselves to ensure that the choices we make for tomorrow are going to give us a better track to follow for the future. No one can claim all the blame in any situation but it does take a real man to own up to his part. This is a very good start to seeing where one has gone off the track. Being alone is not a curse and even though sometimes the weight of the world does crowd us in we have the choice to free ouselves from its burden. Use your martial arts to regain your centre and your faith to maintain it. Angels are sent to us to allow us to see what could be. We must make sure we are of a comparable purity so as to not sully them and make them common. A relationship is an entity with two equal heads and hearts. One cannot wish another to take that place no matter how perfect it seems. They have to willingly enter and be free to leave at any time That is the issue of trust. Cages do so tend to destroy a beautiful bird's song and most, often have clipped wings in their prisons. You have the power to remember what part of the memories you wish to keep. The sad, and woeful ones or the pure and uplifting ones. Don't make the wrong choice it only affects you.
I am just a dirty diamond driller, and we are treated like pariahs where I work. The odd part of this is that if there were no contractors working at our mine it would have closed years ago. We know they need us when they get all starry eyed and beg us to get some job done so they can have something to do. We are constantly told to go work hard and build their mine for them. In part because we do the jobs that are most difficult or extreme. They spend many hours each day in the lunch rooms, and usually come up to surface cleaner than when they went down. I personally change colours each day... from a caucasian to an oil slicked rag toting set of white eyes and teeth with a light on my head. I just smile at them and walk on by, I make more money than most of them even though they have been there for 30 plus years. If everyone got paid for what they do then there would be a lot of bankruptcies from company men for certain.
I work 9000 feet underground and one of the men on my crew is terrified of the dark, claustrophobic, and cannot handle getting on the cage (a small elevator like system for transporting us to and from the hole we call home for 12 hours a day.) WTF was he thinking? And he complains about tennis elbow all day long and we move 75 pound steel rods in and out of holes in the ground all day long.
Any Love I have ever shared was eclipsed and made a pale shadow by the only woman who has completely captured my heart and soul. She is everything I could ever have dreamed, to the point that I often wondered if she was even real. Of course I know now that she is more than real and the best blessing my life has ever had. So perfect in fact that just her friendship is more than I have ever have had from any other woman in my life. She will always be the transcendence of Love in my eyes no matter what the future brings.
It doesn’t mean much It doesn’t mean anything at all The life I’ve left behind me Is a cold room I’ve crossed the last line From where I can’t return Where every step I took in faith Betrayed me And led me from my home And sweet Sweet surrender Is all that I have to give You take me in No questions asked You strip away the ugliness That surrounds me Are you an angel Am I already that gone I only hope That I won’t disappoint you When I’m down here On my knees And sweet Sweet Sweet surrender Is all that I have to give Sweet Sweet Sweet surrender Is all that I have to give And I don’t understand By the touch of your hand I would be the one to fall I miss the little things I miss everything (about you) It doesn’t mean much It doesn’t mean anything at all The life I left behind me Is a cold room And sweet Sweet Sweet surrender Is all that I have to give
Come on now, you fish in a canoe, what more do I need to know? And your words hereabouts express much of the treasured dust of those trails. I am not a follower but I would stake out your house and walk the river's edge just to find a few of those secret hidey holes you fish and I know that I would find more than just pristine nature. There are lessons in the aloneness of the wilds and you my friend have wandered a fair share of those and taken back the parts of you that you found there. The teacher who least wants to teach is often the best suited for the job.
Alright! Stop it right now! Do you have any idea how long it is going to take me to dig a well just to have some of that fun. For heaven's sake if you have such precious treasures just lying about so try to keep them to yourself you selfish selfish woman. And you can't get arrested for jumping in puddles unless all you are wearing is your wellies whilst you are jumping. If that is the case there are going to be a lot of empty elderly gentlemen's apartments available in your neighbourhood.
Well I for one prefer you as the woman you are today. I wouldn't trade you in for any other model. You are perfect just the way you are young lady. I couldn't be happier to call you my friend. Any man who doesn't see that should have traded his eyes in for the new model that comes with the opposable digits we got when we first got out of the damnable trees.
Maybe if you stopped kicking their little asses young lady they might not be afeared of you so much. Damn I am 6 foot 3 and I am at times terrified of you. Even though you are such a sweetheart and such a wonderful friend.
Its like the world's best lottery, and I managed to get all the tickets I tell ya. I am starting to feel selfish here cause I have all the greatest friends and I owe so many of you so much.
Sometimes I wonder when I bought that ticket for some of the greatest friends a person can have lottery... Because with you guys I sure as hell know I won!!!
Thanks very much but you are not helping the smiling thing and my cats can't handle much more of the teeth thing. Their hair is already standing up and I think their eyes and mouths are starting to dry out from all the staring and hissing...
