May be Habitforming

Sooner or later though, you willed to be close.
Will is the same force that caused creation
and yes the will came upon you it had nothing to do with your
intent.

Yeah, we should talk sometime, you and I. Just for the _____ of it.

Yes we all do... and its one of those ASAP things too...

A tool it is.... (hey I've been called that)!
Imagine that, you still haven't found what you're looking for...
That is, after all, where this leads me- neither have I. I really have met some wonderful prospects here, and they have met me... But Ive not met most. The math is staggering...

You're right... It never "goes" anywhere. Actually, this is a wonderful place to do the friendster thingy, but to be honest, that aint what I signed up for...
Maggot Hanging... Is it that time of year again?
I want to go see the Bodies exhibit-

Some really fantastic answers, folks!
If comparing the two, I have to say that they each have their strengths
I like the spontaneity of phone interaction- I also get a more precise
feeling about a person's state of being from the timbre of their voice.
As for interacting on line, I would say that it is easier to communicate beyond the point- explanation, elaboration- both seem more comfortable on the keyboard.
The safety issue is valid, but way over emphasized. I think there are
dangers in every aspect of life, but to be honest, thats the way life is. I couldn't single out any one dating method as being more hazardous than the next, and anyway at the end of the day its myself I need to trust.
In the end, I feel that dating without spontaneity is cold and calculated. I feel that profiles are a pain in the ***, and never really tell you anything in the long run. I feel it is better to know what I want to know about you in the moment, before the answer I seek is composed by your ego.
It is all risk- so buck up!

re·dun·dant (r-dndnt)
adj.
"1. Exceeding what is necessary or natural; superfluous.
2. Needlessly wordy or repetitive in expression: a student paper filled with redundant phrases.
3. Of or relating to linguistic redundancy."-on line dictionary

Remembering that there was a time when participation in a dating site just might mean meeting someone and going out with them, I decided to be pro-active in my own quest for companionship and try something old-
the telephone.
I signed up for a dating site using my cell and I am happy to report that my social life has come alive. I've met numerous people and I have actually gone out with one person- we didn't waist time gathering information about each other and just kind of trusted in the process,
and please to say, my social life is better for it.
I'm sure that alot of you have tried this, and I'm curious to know if your experience was the same as mine?

thanks... I will try to not be so expressive.

although I agree that love has a mind of its own, the thought of what will be will be seems nihilistic. Everything that is has become because of will.
I know how communities are- I also know that what I read in the profiles of women here. I know there are many reasons a person might
enter this community, I suppose that if they didn't say they were looking for love, I wouldn't be writing this...

I has occurred to me that the power and beauty of living in the information age
is a two edged sword. Being here on Mingle has been for me the equivalent of walking through a superstore of every type of lover imaginable, all on display
and ready for our inspection.
what then do we do when we all at once come across that one person- the one that stops us dead in our tracks, the one that makes our heart jump, when we realize that the price we might have to pay might be far too much than we are able?
I suppose that I must at once check myself- examine my motives for being in what turns out to be the wrong section- I mean after all, would it be wiser for me to limit (God I hate that word) myself to those that are easily accessible?
Being intelligent I was told means choosing the best- not only over the worst, but also over the second best. I believe that there is no other perfect for me than the one I choose- regardless of aggravating of mitigating circumstances.
When faced with limits- in any respect- my natural response is to exceed those limits, for I remember that my entire life has been just that- a series of successes over the gravity of this thing called life.
So wherever you are my love make your light shine.... and I will find you.
and then we will fly.

wondering what that is- I'm wondering if there ae any women left in New York that the fellows didn't snatch up already?

Im a-
little bit hard to understand
a bit high maintenance
willing to give what I demand
dont have alot of patience
cant say where Im goin furthermore
I aint obsessed with knowin
Its enough for me
just to know Im flowin
dont need no guided tour
in the prison of the well -regarded
being socially incorrect
the meek are disinherited
unable to connect
Im here to play the jester
to a crowd caught in despair and you think Im hard to comprehend
Im a
little bit perverted
a bit high strung
alone at night Im sure
you get where Im comming from
my fantasies erotic
a slight bit too exotic
better than self repressed
or a borderline neurotic
on a scale from one to ten
I am the best time you'll ever spend
I try harder than any you could send
still you think Im hard to comprehend?

Well the grill is simmerin' after two days of burn, and I just ate and feel like its time for a workout! Salmon Skewered, Filets went down like butter, and the air blew from across the mountain, like a light blanket on a brisk summer night...
wish you were here- whoever you are- I hope that you don't miss many more magic moments like this-

Happy July 4th New York!!!!!!

got the grill sayin puff puff puff...
smouldering bricketts in the summer air
party goin on everywhere...
an occasional boom or bang
out in a roadhoue by the I 80
Happy July 4th!

Just wanted to say that it is great to see that the US will finally get to produce an American car.
"the company says it will produce a small car in a refurbished UAW-GM plant."- Fortune 5/29
Any time I see Manufacturing jobs kept here in the country, I heave a sigh. Makes me feel more secure in the fact that our ability to be independent of other countries has improved.
May we always make what we use
May we always buy from one another
as Americans-

do you believe
in things
that you cant see
and do you feel
emotions that arent real
and do you play
the games that you cant win
do you believe
in the end or the beginning
cant you see
that its all in the way you look at things
everything has its own point of view
look behind
is there anything worth remembering
way down inside beside that glimpse of you
and do you think
its okay when it isnt
do you recall
the last time that you smiled [for real]
and do you see
your real self in the mirror
might you conceive
your visions not that clear
and you'll find
that its all in the state of mind
look past illusions to find the truth
who else could know
if the sun shines in your heart
way down inside
beside that glimpse of you

Getting harder to express
the way I feel
spending so much time alone
my pain becomes surreal
starting to believe
that there is something very wrong with me
like an ugly face
or a fractured personality
I need a lover
I need a lover
I need a lover
oh yes I do
Wake up every morning
to the coldness of my empty bed
searching each day
for some clue inside this life I've led
searching but not finding
any sense in the mistakes Ive made
and starting to believe
that there is something very wrong with me
I need a lover
I need a lover
I need a lover
oh yes I do
