Woman : Hi, how are you today?

Man : Sex?

Woman :  Nice weather today.

Man : Sex?

Woman : New hair style?

Man : Sex?

Woman: What are you doing for lunch?

Man: Sex?

Woman: A bunch of us are going out for drinks after work. Want to join us?

Man: Sex?

Woman: Want to go back to my place and stay the night with me?

Man: Huh?

Twitter-pated No More!

When will I learn? 





This is the end result guys want. But at what cost.

Falling In Love With You

Guys shy away from using the word, but when it happens, like a thunderbolt, our lives are changed forever.

The words to Happy Man, Chicago, Peter Cetera

I wish I could write this well.

Music is below.

Merely by chance
Very unsuspected
You caught my heart
Unprotectin' me
Now I'm fallin' in love with you

Just when I thought
I was free and easy
You came along
To me soft and breezy
Now I've fallen in love with you
Woo hoo
I've fallen in love with you

And for the first time in my life
I know what it's like to be a happy man
Happy man
And for the first time in my life
You've given me something I can understand
Bein' a happy man

Be with me now
Love me forever
Leavin' you lady
Was something that I'd never do
I've fallen in love with you

All of my life it seems I have waited
Now I can say all these words I have stated untrue
I've fallen in love with you
Woo hoo
Fallen in love with you
Woo hoo

Empty Dreams

falling asleep
realizing
for once
in a long time

no one
to dream

about

no taking
myself
to my happy
place

there is
no happy
place
anymore

Ghost Ship

like the
Flying Dutchman
cast about
the oceans
tortured souls
unable to land
come to port
complete the journey

unrequited
unable to complete
the circle
the journey
to be as one
not to be
as two

thoughts and
emotions
crash the seas
the mantra repeats
can not have
what is not
attainable

what if it is true
the highest mountains
the deepest seas
stand between you
it is not worth the effort
it can not be
no sacrifice too great
but to no avail

Don Quixote
jousted at windmills
laughed at
delusional
he didn't win

like a lovesick boy
in school
heart set
on the prettiest girl
not to be

why do men
do what they do
brain doesn't
get in the way
logic spock
too human
heart gets in the way

doesn't need to
make sense
she reads
thoughts undone
space and time
allows one to
reach out
or brush away

there will be
another
or two or three
sameness
closeness
not to
be there

bruised
and
bewildered
should have
known better
why did I try
doddering old fool

taken as I am
true to thy self
accept or reject
chips
fall as they may
owed nothing
by other
emotional
outburst
a cleansing
not complete

bury into the
ground
this too shall pass
just a man

to survive
the saying

just friends
not lovers
my ghost ship
journeys on

What A Man Will Do To Get A Woman

Shallow but sincere, a motive here for sure!

Heineken's take on the idea




on the other hand, we don't share either

Wicked Games

This could qualify as a fill-n-the-blank beach fantasy. The guy should look this good, the woman this sexy, and the haunting guitar music should be this fabulous.

9 1/2 Weeks

After watching this, I wish nylons and garter belts would make a comeback. And slips, sultry and sexy.

This video takes me to my man thoughts. join me will you?

I Am Scorpio! For Better Or For Worse

What is it like to be me?  Complicated. At times, I don't understand me.

When it comes to astrology, it interests me, not enough to set my day around my horoscope, but there are some truths to it and what make me tick. As one gets older, ambitions and plans seem to change, but never the less.

On certain things, I do not have an off switch.
Here are some examples.

Scorpio in a Nutshell:

Scorpio is the astrology sign of extremes and intensity. Scorpios are very deep, intense people, there is always more then meets the eye. They present a cool, detached and unemotional air to the world yet lying underneath is tremendous power, extreme strength, intense passion and a strong will and a persistent drive. Scorpios have a very penetrative mind, do not be surprised if they ask questions, they are trying to delve deeper and figure things out and survey the situation. They always want to know why, where and any other possible detail they can possibly know. Scorpio's are very weary of the games that other people try to play and they are very aware of it. Scorpios tend to dominate and control anyone that lets them, or anyone that they find weak. The person that a Scorpio respects and holds close to them is treated with amazing kindness, loyalty and generosity. On the outside, a Scorpio has great secretiveness and mystery. This magnetically draws people to them. They are known to be controlling and too ambitious but only because they need control for this makes them feel safe.

What it's Like to Date a Scorpio Man:

TheScorpio male is unlike any other man of any other astrology sign. He is so unique that a seperate section is needed to explain about dating theScorpio man. Unlike most other zodiac signs, what it's like to date a Scorpio woman is very similar to dating a Scorpio man. The main difference is that instead of presenting a powerful feminine force like the woman, the Scorpio man presents a strong masculine, sexual force. The Scorpio man is easy to seduce and take home for the night, it is much harder to form a real relationship with him. The Scorpio man is very sensitive and feels lonely and unfulfilled, but he will never let a woman know this. Behind closed doors, be sensitive and affectionate to him appeal to his emotions only if you want a close relationship with him do not attempt to lead him on because he will see this and never forgive you. Toying with a Scorpio male is an unwise move. He will be jealous and possessive and will never allow a woman to control him. Let him take the lead because the Scorpio male is truly a fascinating person, you can never go wrong when he is planning the night! Scorpio men are very moody and their moods change like a pendulum on a clock. Stand by his side in these times and it will pass. Do not nag on him for he has a hard enough time understanding his own emotions. Scorpio men make excellent protectors and you will always feel safe under his radiating, passionate and energetic power.

Little Blue Pill

We have all seen all the ads and commercials with the warning that if after 4 hours and you are still going strong you should call your doctor.

Nope.

I would hold a press conference!

Zen Of Sarcasm

E mail of the week

1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not  walk ahead of me, for  I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either.. Just pretty much leave me alone .

2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and leaky radiator hose.

3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to  steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

    shoes .

9 . If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is probably not for you.

10 . Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish,

11. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was
    probably a wise investment.

Too Much To Ask?

to awaken
each morning
to the sounds
touch
caress
of one who cares

giving wide berth
barely a glance
tolerated
just
a brick
in the wall
a finger in the water
once removed
nothing remains

once was
hope and dreams
drudgery abounds
thoughts for
the future
cloudy and grey

no light at the end
of this
tunnel

Losing My Religion------Nothing Compares To You

Sometimes VH1 actually plays music. Nowadays it is usually a special top 100 song you voted on special.

Tuning in late, these stuck out as something special, Who knew mandolin music could sound so good?
I have no idea what the words mean in this one.



and this one may make you cry too....

Addiction to Oil?

Information taken from the Wall Street book review (Oil: Money, Politics, and Power in the 21st Century, by Tom Bower)

At his very moment: The world spends $4 million on oil every minute of every day of every year, amounting to $2 trillion bought and moved anually.

The world produces 1,000 barrels of oil every second. If those barrels were physically stacked up, the pile would grow taller at 2,000 miles per hour.

Addictions are tough to stop.

Field of Dreams

Wrigley Field, home of the Cubs, transcends baseball its self. Can a place for baseball mean more than the game itself? To be honest, I have not been to that many places to see a ball game, nor care to, but once you have been to the best, why? I have been to the first official played night game, back in 1988. The first night game had been rained out. I have sat in the bleachers as a kid, paying $3.50 for a ticket, which now costs around $35.00!

It is nicknamed the "friendly confines" because of the fan friendly views one has of the field and the game. It is almost always sold out, but it has not always been that way.  When I was growing up, big crowds were a rare thing.  The following pictures show some of the ballpark, but not the feel of the event. For that, you must take in a game.

Kevin Costner, eat your heart out!

The trains and buses stop off at the corner of the ballpark. Because the park was built in 1914, the neighborhood grew up around it, and car parking is at a premium.

The walls are covered with ivy which gives the park a unique greenery look. It looks soft, but real brick walls reside behind the ivy. The scoreboard is hand operated, meaning when the score changes, a large number is inserted by hand, no electronics with this scoreboard.

This view, in the distance, shows the skyline of downtown Chicago. The dark green area in centerfield had the seats removed because it was hard to see the ball being thrown by the pitcher, as most people wear white.
This picture I believe was taken from the upper deck behind home plate.

You have arrived!

Know Thy Neighbors?

Now that you are older and moved away from home and found a home and a neighborhood in the city that you liked or was convenient for work or school the question comes up. Do you know your neighbors?

When you were little, when you weren't allowed off the block, you knew all the other children around you, house by house. Who you could play with, or couldn't. As time went on, your territory grew larger, learned how to ride a bicycle, walked on your own to school and learned it was a big world out there to explore.

Somehow though when one gets older, you can lose that sense of community, that sense of wonder of the world around us. People and more people become somewhat suffocating in the daily going ons of life.  You are polite to some, tolerant to others, and ignore the rest. Drive home, garage door opens, drive in, close the door and not come out until the next day.

It is not that much different for those who live in an apartment or a condominium.  At least an apartment shows one living apart from others, by name at least.

A house gives refuge, but loneliness too. Some are looking to be apart from others, a small price to pay.

That's me waving at you, saying Hi, just don't get to close.
