I used to think I was a romantic, now I realize when i write a poem on the spot for a woman or send flowers for "no apparent reason" I have ulterior motives...
I feel so much better now knowing i have come to grasps with what motivates me to do those sensitive (seen as romantic) things.
most of the great scientist of our past and history had this very same distinction and as time progress it became known as Common Knowledge. from the calling Pluto a planet to black holes to quantum physics.
and it only stands to show just like religion and other "beliefs" there will always be naysayers.
personally I like to consider myself open minded about such issues..afterall believing in something or not...i will still judge the person by my own attained knowledge and experiences.
plus if this belief they have motivates them to think I'm exactly what the stars have foretold ...who am I to disagree
Just because one says they are romantic does not always make it so... I've always felt this is a title that only those who have the opportunity to know/experience someone can claim that for/of another person.
usually if you are indeed a romantic and someones heart gets broke because of it...
you suddenly have a cornucopia of other handles/titles to contend with.
its far more detailed then just your moon or sun sign, even your place and time of birth has significance... but,I've never shelled out the cash asked to do a "in depth reading ".
those $20 dollar reading are as accurate as reading of the tea leaves... the readin of the bumps on ones head is more revealing....
one suggested after reading my bumps to wear a hardhat more often.
Damn sorry mate, but you gonna have to quit those sleeping pills this could've been a serious mistake...Oh and by the way, you owe me for that new suit you wearing
I look at it this way, how long will it be a long distance relationship...
I personally have yet to reach the age where just talking about intimacy is enough to satisfy my needs.
the current state of the economy also has to be considered, i mean who here can afford to take several trips a year to be with that special person especially if you are talking of flying there and back.
to those that have successfully maintain a LDR for years..
LIke WOW. thats one skill i do not want to learn or become satisfied with.
I know of many close to retirement age whose 401 and other pension investment are hurting already and the fall of this industry will affect those who have worked long and hard for and in America if they do collapse.
they speak of jobs being lost, shouldn't those who have retired or soon to retire be considered in this?
when you see or think of this image what thoughts enter your mind....
shes blindfolded and holds the 'scales of justice" ... sometimes she wielding a sword. cannot post an image but just curious what some thoughts are when viewing or thinking about it.
If the thread has 2 or more pages and I comment on what is on the last page or the first page....rarely do I read the entire thread before commenting.
Hell I seldom engage brain before opening my mouth, so that being said, I am probably stating something that has already been stated.
Although I consider myself a "unique" personality. I accept from time to time my thoughts and opinions do not spark an onslaught of replies....that and when you are full of yourself ( Like me)the being ignored never becomes an issue.....
Golly gosh i hope no one else has replied in this fashion
