Thanks for your comment Sean.
My head is a mess. So many questions and doubts...

Hide and Seek on 2008-04-25 15:29:19 |
|
I think it's normal to "hide"...but eventually life forces us to come out and play the game. We have no other choice.
I also wish I worked 3 or 4 days instead of 5...but 5 is still better than 7! Some people do work 7 days a week.
I hope you find the time to paint and do all the things you love.
Keep "seeking"...it'll keep you on your toes.
Good luck!

FIGHTING BOREDOM BY COLLECTING THINGS on 2008-04-25 14:38:35 |
|
I collect old records for my turntable. I have some glenn miller orchestra, sinatra, richie valens, patsy cline, and many others.
It's fun. And I like the sound.
It makes me feel like I'm living in that time period.

THE REHABILITATION OF IRREGARDLESS on 2008-04-25 14:27:19 |

Great blog! I love the last line. Very clever!
Irregardless should be a word. I don't see why not. There's no right or wrong answers...as long as you can back up your claims.
I'm with you on this one Mr.P!

Growing Old In North America on 2008-04-25 09:50:50 |
|
George,
I think your explanation makes perfect sense. However, some cultures still have great respect for the old. I come from Central America, from a very traditional place, where the elderly are very respected. It is nothing like what I've experienced in North America.
I wonder to what extent religion plays a role, if any at all. Is tradition associated with religion? I think sometimes it is...Mmm...I wonder.
Great post by the way. Very interesting topic.

You are right..it's a real shame to see that some bloggers do not respect others.

Growing Old In North America on 2008-04-24 10:52:02 |

George,
My answer to your question is yes. Absolutely the elder face biases against them and I would even call it discrimination.
Unfortunately, our society has been wired to think that monetary success is the only thing that matters. So when a person is past their "prime", they are deemed useless and of course as you have explained in your blog, this is untrue.
We have so much to learn from older people and I think it's time we start to value their wisdom.
In ancient tribes, the elder were always the most respected and admired. I wonder what changed that ideology.

Thanks for your comment missmarie.
I just want to feel loved at other times too...not just in bed. I know my fiance loves me, but I have trouble feeling his love for me.
I wish he was more affectionate, but he shows love in a different way. He likes to DO things for me. That's his way of showing love. He makes me coffee every morning and
helps a lot around the house...I just wish he would hug me more...but that's not him.

The bf doesn't believe what you say about him because that's just the way he is.
Just imagine he believed all the things you say about him...It wouldn't really seem like him, would it?
Some people are self-depracating...and nothing anyone says can ever change their mind.
You've done your part. Do not blame yourself.
Good luck with SM! It's only when you meet him, that you will know what to do with your situation and everything will start to fall into place.

conflicting desires on 2008-04-14 15:21:56 |
|
Aymee,
First of all, NO ONE should be calling you names.
Second, food is not the enemy.
All you have to do is opt for healthy foods as much as you can, and keep exercising.
Do not let yourself be brain washed by false ideologies of what a girl/woman should look like.
The best feeling is to know you're doing all you can to keep your body healthy...that means eating well and exercising.
Please consider not skipping meals. This isn't healthy at all and will actually make you gain fat because your body doesn't know when you will feed it next, so it stores more fat than it should every time you eat. This is of course, aside from all the health problems you will cause yourself if you continue this way.
All the best!

oh wannabeathinggirl, I'm at work right now too so I know exactly how you feel.
I find myself hungry as well...so I'm eating apple slices...and drinking a lot of tea.
This helps me stay on track with my diet and not have unhealthy snacks.
If you plan and prepare healthy snacks at home, you'll have those to satisfy your cravings throughout the day.
Good luck.

A cheater or Not?? on 2008-04-10 10:44:23 |

A cheater or not?
Well based on your post, I would have to say YES.
I wish I could say to give him the benefit of the doubt...but he lied to you, making you think the shoes and panties were yours. I mean, he could have come up with something better to say!!!
I know it hurts, but I do think he's playing games with you.
You deserve more respect than that.
Good luck!

Wow. Amazing post!
Just out of curiosity...what is your opinion of life after having experienced what you did...I'm curious to know if you think that our actions here on earth play a role in the next level of conciousness? or do you think everyone experiences what you did. Are good and bad deeds important?
What's your opinion?
Thanks for sharing this with all of us.

Good for you. I'm glad you came to the conclusion that you did.
It's hurtful, but you're right, it's better that you find out now how he really is, and not continue to waste your time with him.

so lonely on 2008-04-04 16:43:00 |

hey take easy there chipotlegirl! :P Ignore comments from people that just want to put others down.
Anyway, on to the important stuff...You!
I don't have a sound advice for you...but I do think you need to evaluate your life.
Why are you going to marry this person if you feel this way already?
I'm sure he has wonderful qualities...but you need to figure out what you "want" versus what you "need" from a partner.
What things you can live with, and what things you can't live without.
If he doesn't want to compromise, believe me you're not missing out...He is.
Chin up.
Hang in there.

HOW THE MEDIA PICKS A PRESIDENT on 2008-04-02 11:04:52 |
|
I agree with you that media is controlling this election (and all others).
It makes me sick to see that CNN allocates so much of their space to elections which will not happen for a long time. Of course, it is important news, but I do not think that every detail about it should be magnified on a daily basis.
What I find ridiculous is how the media uses this as a tactic that works in two ways: First of all, they control the elections by nit picking on candidates and either make them look really bad or really good...all in accordance with the agenda they are trying to push.
Second, showing election details all day long is a way to pacify the masses. While the world falls apart, here we are listening and watching Clinton and Obama bicker.
The problem is that no everyone is critical of what they watch. Some people live by whatever CNN says...and that will definitely change the way people vote and how people think.
Just a thought!

I hate my husband on 2008-04-01 14:00:01 |

I understand your point of view. However, why would you want to live with all that resentment?
If you don't love him, why do you stick around? You know it's making you bitter inside to suffer in silence. It will not get easier as you age.
My suggestion is try to work with him, or leave him before he makes you totally miserable.
You deserve a life full of happiness. Don't settle.
I know having children makes things more difficult, but in the long term, I would rather see my parents apart and happy, than "together" and unhappy.
Just my two cents! Good luck!
