“There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.”- D.H.E

Alright so I was thinking about Jerry McGuire and his famous line "I'm not letting you get rid of me". I was wondering how that kind of tactic works. Your partner says they want to break up, you state; "I don't want to". Plain and simple, 1 for 1, equal, tie breaker nothing changes. Some might argue that the person breaking up pulls more weight because they can withdrawal. But if the other person refuses to withdraw then its still equal.

Why does no hold more value than yes?

It takes two to make a relationship, why doesn't it take two to not make a relationship. Technically the theory holds itself, however emotionally is where we might run into some issues.

It seems that many of us are in these relationships, holding onto something that doesn't exist. Fabricating it in our minds and building it up as something more than it is. He or she has let u know in many ways its not happening, it never will happen and it never did happen. So why be upset about something that does not even exist?

If it takes two to tango, then why doesn't it take two not to tango?
Because it isn't the tango if your dancing alone, it never was.

A nickname is the heaviest stone that the devil can throw at a man. It is a bugbear to the imagination, and, though we do not believe in it, it still haunts our apprehensions.

Did you ever notice that guys always get nicknames that stick. Especially in high school, and if they dont get a nickname theyre usually called by their last names. Girls never get nicknames like MRS..., BIG...., some alteration of their name... etc.

The people who are called by their last names isnt so bad, however those that are titles can be detrimental. Its can be easy if you are given a title and then you live up to that name. You become your nickname, or always have to be that nickname. As time goes on that can be bad because it holds you to that title and prevents you from changing into who you really are supposed to be.

To be honest my gf's have given me nicknames before just between us and I only have about one that sticks. At first I was a little envious that guys always get these cool names but I dont know why guys do it so maybe its better girls dont adopt that trend!

A few Thoughts

I've learned you cant Force music on people, you cant say listen to this song and hope they like it as much as you. I think is because music really grows on people. I suggest you leave the CD for them to pop in and eventually you will see they will become obsessed!

Second thought I love the people who workout on machines that aren't on! When is it okay to tell them its out of order or to press start!

Its easier if you ask people specific questions about a holiday rather than, how was it? Too much to talk about!

And its impossible to be a robot : )

Mexico

I take back my comments about all-inclusive's not being real traveling perse. However, I would still argue that there is a strong difference between finding your own way and having someone serve you hand and foot for a week.

The thing is if you participate in enough excursions and walk around an area enough you can absorb more than I thought. Mexico is way better than Cuba and Dominican Republic. This might be because there is more money there; so the hotels are nicer, the staff is more helpful and, you can walk around Mexico ALOT more than you can Cuba or Dominican republic. Seems like if there is more money put into a resort and tourism the better the resources available, Mexico is getting the most of the money. So for anyone wanting to go all-inclusive I suggest Mexico out of the three its way more worth it.

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

-Willian Ernest Henley

Sorry is just a board game.

I thinking about how we apologize all the time for everything. I heard once that Americans (as in all of us) are always apologizing even when we don't need to be. For example: someone bumps into you and for some reason you say sorry. Or, you're trying to get someones attention and you say "Sorry..." Why?
People who apologize all the time are expressing insecurity and anxiety. As apologizing obsessively has shown to be more prevalent than in the past we can conclude that society as a whole is more insecure, and without a doubt stricken with anxiety. People apologize before even having to be sorry for anything; "sorry this may be a bad question but..." Most of the time its just a habit. However, I believe that we should stop doing this because it undermines your credibility and confidence. Don't be sorry when someone bumps into you, let them apologize and then choose whether or not to say 'its okay'. I remember one time this guy apologized to me and I responded with 'well im watching tv so ill talk to you another time'. I think it was kinda of a shock to not hear the ...its fine... When its not! So don't be sorry OR forgiving if you dont mean to be.
Most of the time we still have trouble apologizing when we are wrong. So why are we all mixed up here? Why has sorry taken on another meaning in some cases?

Successful sales people

You know who's annoying people who talk to the room! I know a few people like this who will have a conversation with me but are talking loud enough so the whole room can hear. Now, these are not just people who talk higher than the normal deciple level but people who need attention. I dont know why people feel the need to sell themselves. You can do that on facebook im sure. Perhaps they just figure it will maybe get someones attention across the room who will say, i couldnt help but over hear...
I also feel like these people lie to make conversations more interesting. I mean are these real people? Who are you if your conversations aren't real?

Blue Christmas lights
The floors soft threads
Diamond earring
It pricks me with more meaning
the diamond glints
I place it on the other nightstand
