    The Bad Boy

    March 13, 2007March 7, 2023
    57 Comments

    Now for a post on something I’ve been meaning to write on for a long, long while. It should have come earlier, I know so much about the subject after all. Why do women love bad boys? As a confirmed bad boy-o-holic myself, I wonder why I’m continuing to make…

    Voices

    Where do we look for the truth? And how do we know if the answers we find are the right ones? Which voices do we listen to? Several centuries of mankind and so much to show at the end of it…. science, technology, mathematics, art, culture, religion. Each one is…

    Rebound girlfriend

    My best friend once warned me that, A man who has just broken up is the most dangerous of all. Of course she was right. That’s why she’s the BEST FRIEND. Pity I didn’t listen to her…but we never do listen to good advice, do we? Forgive me for being…

    Romance

    I’m a closet romantic. I spew venom about my ex-es on my other blog and I scoff at mushy couples. I went out with a couple of women from work recently. Over a sandwich I contributed to the inevitable girly conversation with my brand of male-bashing and cynicism. Then one…

    I went to yoga class this morning. After over 7 months. I reacquainted with my breath. Spring-clean the mind & spirit through gentle awareness & understanding.

    Alcohol, Arguments and Men

    March 12, 2007March 7, 2023

    Actually, having slept over my last post, I look at myself this morning with fresh perspective (and two hours of yoga). I realize that I’m essentially a logical, rational person. But I’m susceptible to certain rationale-altering vices. Namely, alcohol, arguments and men. If I ever own a restaurant (which I…

    Losing Home

    I’m usually a real home-bird. That will surprise a lot of people who know me because I spend so little time in my house. But that’s a place with four walls. The fact is that I have a strong attachment to places, especially those with memories. I relate to places…

    Randomly Rippling Along

    It felt good to say “To hell with you”. It felt even better to know that the people who I don’t normally think understand, would come back to ask me “What’s wrong?” when I said that. It felt good to be acquainted with love. Terrible to be tainted by it….

    I found this on the Post-a-Secret site. And then I found this on Wikipedia: I was never a fan of Blind Melon…in fact I probably wouldn’t even remember they were a music group unless I saw them on a music channel. I wouldn’t remember the name of the song or…
