More friends, and women (especially those who can qualify under both)
I have plenty of acquaintences, some people I look at as friends who I'm pretty sure don't have that same degree of concern back in my direction and four friends that I've had since around 1985.
I'm looking to meet people: printers, photographers, riverboat pilots, nuclear medicine technicians, butchers, bakers, gelato makers, tic tac toe experts, kids who know how to throw knives, etc. If you know a good source for cheap repair and replacement parts for a 1977 Corvette (350, automatic transmission, needs bodywork, an intake manifold, exhaust headers, better pistons, rods and cam, overdrive and positraction rear), that's a plus.
So, that's friends. Women? The problem is, I've already met a good number of the women I want to meet. They just ain't available, and I'm not the sort to try to break in.
A little more flotsam, which helps illustrate the issue:
how jedi are you? :: by lawrie malen
It's been a few months, and I'm still mulling over criteria. I over-analyze things, so even now, in just incomplete consideration, I can throw a number of bits and pieces out, in case you're interested.
And if you're not interested, then move on...
So, physically, I'm looking for a woman around my height. I'm 5' 7.5", so, +/- 3" would be good.
Like the survey says, smoke colored eyes, which is more a matter of texture than color, but that's what gets my attention.
I want to meet an athlete. So what if it's unrealistic, this is about desire, not realism.
I'm looking for someone who is either a hero or a villain, not just some bystander. I'd like to meet someone smart, artistic, kind, graceful and funny. I'd also like her to know how to fight, literally and figuratively.
There's more, too, but it's getting late and I'm not even sure I really want to add more here. Like I wrote before, I've already run across a number of women like that... all unavailable for some reason or other. Maybe unavailable is a criterion, too, but I'd rather not address that just now, either.
Okay, that's the women issue.
I heard Benicio Del Toro was good as Oscar Acosta in the Johnny Depp Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, but man, Peter Boyle as Carl Lazlo, Esquire, in Where the Buffalo Roam was just so...perfect.
P.S.: I think it was Ashe who said, "Klaatu Barada Nicto, Baby..." I don't know whether that's entirely accurate; I just hear that line in Bruce Campbell's voice.
You can have the day. Carpe noctem, indeed.
Okay. I stole this off of Kimitha's blog, in the hope that you may well get the point:
The Men That Don't Fit In
By Robert Service (1907)
There's a race of men that don't fit in
A race that can't sit still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin,
and roam the world at will
They range the field and rove the hood,
And they climb the mountains crest.
Theirs is the curse of the gypsy blood,
And they don't know how to rest.
If they just went straight they might go far;
They are strong and brave and true;
But they're always tired of the things that are,
and they want the stong and the new.
They say, "Could I find my proper groove,
what a deep mark I would make!"
So they Chop and Change, and each fresh move
is only a fresh mistake.
And each forgets, as he strips and runs
with a brilliant, fitful pace,
It is the steady, quiet, plodding ones
who win in the lifelong race.
And each forgets that his youth had fled
forgets that his prime is past,
till He stands one day, with a hope that's dead
in the flare of the truth at last
He has failed,He has failed, He has missed his chance;
He has just done things by half
Life's been a jolly good joke on him
And now is the time to Laugh
HA, HA! He is one of the legions lost;
He was never meant to win;
He's a rolling stone, and it bred in the bone;
He's a man who won't fit in
I want to be the hero. The Grendel Prime from Matt Wagner's comic books.
Heroes are the people who get it right--even if only in fiction.
John Steakley wrote, "You are...What you do...When it counts."
Another good line is from the movie, Independence Day, when Jeff Goldblum's character remarks, "You know how I'm always trying to save the world? ...Here's my chance."
