Who I'd Like to Meet
JFK & his brother Bobby - but that's for another lifetime...
Since most people continue to disappoint me w/their idiosyncrasies, I'm only here to keep in touch w/friends (& friends of friends) that I already know, & people whom I haven't seen in years. And maybe just a few other unique individuals who are inspiring enough to catch my attention; but I am not interested in vague conversations or mediocre attempts at friendships that are most likely pretentious to begin with.
The Simple Truth
I tend to have my guard up about 99.9% of the time, so if you think you are acquainted with my persona, you most likely and unfortunately, do not. I have way too many quirks and flaws to mention. However, if you hanker to yearn for more, then move on to the next column...let's see where you leave off before your attention is lost completely, ha!
Random Blurbs Galore
I'm a gal who is constantly evolving; I like to saturate myself with my surrounding environment, pilfering in all the information that is there for the taking. The strange and not oftentimes - the most trivial things in life - have a great effect on my persona. The simplest of fragrances can easily take me back to a time in which I may not have thought about in years – even decades. I tend to go off on random tangents, am horribly meticulous, and a perfectionist down to a fault. My mind is habitually on overdrive – that may explain the fact that I have been a bonafide, chronic insomniac since the age of 7. I have terribly wonderful memory – so ironic, I know…but this quality can sometimes lead me into yet some unfavorable predicaments. If you’ve ever been in a disagreement with me – then you’ll know perfectly well what I mean by this. I’m much too passionate about life and too loyal for my own good. It’s not rare for me to wear a badge of allegiance so openly, that the deficiency in reciprocation has cost me a lifetime’s worth of friendships of 2 or 3 or more individuals. Throughout the years, I’ve learned to be less than perfect – and I have to thank a select few people in my life for accepting me through such humbling experiences. I’m an extremely strong-willed and independent individual who takes pride in my accomplishments – and even the lack thereof - as I am always looking to improve all facets of my life, even those of which I may deem flawless. Do I have mistakes or any regrets in life? But of course – for what is life without the aforementioned?
Aside from the complicated sounding blurbs above, I truly am an effortless individual at heart. The days I’m most content are those spent with my dearest family and friends doing anything and everything: lazy Sunday afternoons, a walk across the promenade in the night air, drinking good quality red wine and cooking the best gourmet meals for my family, the smell of baked cinnamon in the fall, the turning of earth toned colored leaves in the autumn, the laughter of children, Christmas lights, warm winter nights in my bed, the rush of fragrant blooms in the spring, farmer’s markets in the summer, days at the beach, quiet naps, soothing music, a plethora of good food, drink, and festive company. Once you’ve allowed yourself to take in the simple pleasures in life - is the time you really "begin to live"...
411 Tangent
I'm simple but complicated. I'm a walking contradiction most of the time. I confess I record and watch General Hospital (the soap opera, that is). I am so addicted to caffeine free, Diet Dr. Pepper, that it's not even funny. I prefer ice blended drinks at Coffee Bean and warm lattes or house blends at Starbucks. Whole Foods Market is fun. I love perusing through cookbooks, cooking magazines...hell, I love to cook in general. Rachael Ray is awesome. Martha Stewart too. And Oprah - I love her just the same. I'm often misunderstood. I'm way too blunt for some people. You either get me or you don't. I'm an extremist - I hardly have any room for compromise unless it's a good one. I'm a clean freak. I love the way April Soft Downey fabric softener smells on my clothes. I prefer for guests to take their shoes off when they enter my home. I vacuum my home every other day and I'd do it everyday if it didn't drive my family crazy! =] Homemade walnut chocolate chip cookies are one of my weaknesses, and I make the best. Williams-Sonoma and Crate & Barrel excites me like no other. I'm into Lucid Dreaming. I'm a devout Catholic for the most part, but I've studied and nearly practiced Wicca. Going to gay bars with my girlfriends is fun because all the men are polite. Red wine is better than white. Full bodied reds are my preference. Vodka is the only liquor I can handle, everything else is pretty gross. Martinis are one of the best inventions. I've been labeled stuck-up way too many times when in actuality I'm quite the contrary. Didn't I already mention that I was misunderstood? I tend to get my feelings hurt too easily. I don't hold grudges well. Genuine apologies are more oftentimes welcoming. I forgive but rarely do I ever forget...actually scratch that, I never forget. Reciprocity has always been an issue with me; if I can't receive as much as I've given - then you're pretty much out of my life because I've learned that making grave sacrifices to people who just don't care is a waste of precious time. I hate it when my friends are moody. I don't like catering to rancid behavior. I'm very random - I'm sure you know by now. If you're still reading this, I love you. Well, maybe not…but damn close to it! Hahaha!
My Take On Life
Amidst the chaos and unspoken necessities of its existence, there lays a seed waiting to flourish. Memories are reminiscent of a distant and remote past, one of which beckons a familiar sensation. The circle of life is not really a circle at all, but rather, an infinitesimal spectrum that can often be confusing and enlightening altogether. Random tangents are not rendered rare in this continuum, nor are the tears, laughter, sorrow and euphoria. Can one still be mystified behind its meaning even after years of contemplation? Naturally. However, it is not the reasoning nor the constant pondering that molds us. It is the relentless and diversified experiences that ultimately divulges the truth and digs its way into our souls.
Hungry minds, content hearts, weakened thoughts, and eager creatures are a few of the many ingredients dropped into a batch of uncertainty. Various whirling motions of lows and highs are expected. And although one can choose to simmer in doubt and end up bitter, one still has the right to baste in knowledge embracing every moment and savoring in all the flavors of life.
