Hanging at Kelly's with My friends Eric and Tony
Right now, I'm happy to say, I'm disconnecting from the cyber world, for reasons that those close to me know. I'm moving, I'll still be near though, near Newport that is. But right now I am in 'Pop-Up' hell. Just starting this has been a nightmare.....
A few odds and ends..... I guess this is normal up here in the northwest, but the big Tire dealer up here is offering free Beef with purchase of tires..... what's that about? I've never heard of such an odd 'free' offer.
I recieved terrible news Sunday. My absolute favorite restaurant in St.Louis is closing. A great Sicilian place located in the basement of a building. The ceilings were no more than seven feet high, but the maze of pipes and partitions had me walking through the place half bent over. This was THE best romantic first date place in the city, as far as I'm concerned. It's a shame, but the owner is growing older, and wants to enjoy retirement..... Damn!
A great newer CD that I just recently discovered, and love.... James Blunt. Not generaly my type of music, but I love this guy. One of my favorites, and I think it's the song that made him famous...... You're Beautiful.... It's so sad, really, but it's sparked a few great conversations....
YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL
MY LIFE IS BRILLIANT.
MY LOVE IS PURE.
I SAW AN ANGEL.
OF THAT I’M SURE.
SHE SMILED AT ME ON THE SUBWAY.
SHE WAS WITH ANOTHER MAN.
BUT I WON’T LOSE NO SLEEP ON THAT,
‘CAUSE I’VE GOT A PLAN.
YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL. YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL.
YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL, IT’S TRUE.
I SAW YOUR FACE IN A CROWDED PLACE,
AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO,
‘CAUSE I’LL NEVER BE WITH YOU.
YEAH, SHE CAUGHT MY EYE,
AS WE WALKED ON BY.
SHE COULD SEE FROM MY FACE THAT I WAS,
FLYING HIGH,
AND I DON’T THINK THAT I’LL SEE HER AGAIN,
BUT WE SHARED A MOMENT THAT WILL LAST TILL THE END.
YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL. YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL.
YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL, IT’S TRUE.
I SAW YOUR FACE IN A CROWDED PLACE,
AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO,
‘CAUSE I’LL NEVER BE WITH YOU.
YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL. YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL.
YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL, IT’S TRUE.
THERE MUST BE AB ANGEL WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE,
WHEN SHE THOUGHT UP THAT I SHOULD BE WITH YOU.
BUT IT’S TIME TO FACE THE TRUTH,
I WILL NEVER BE WITH YOU……
So, not that this song exactly envokes the next question, but it's something to think about, or not.......
First, I guess ask yourself if you have ever had the 'perfect man or woman' in mind. The one that you secretly admire in a magazine, or want to talk to on the street, the one that is the perfect body type, perfect features, etc.....Now add to it the little things that you you like in a person, a foreign accent, a country twang, a walk, a style, a favorite eye color, hair color, etc.....
Imagine you met this person, you click imediately, the second your eyes meet, you feel as though you have known this person for your entire life, and the look on their face tells you the same. You feel as though you not only know this person, but you were meant to spend the rest of your lives together.......
Would you jump on the chance to see if this person, this man or woman of your dreams, would you go for it? Find out if you could make something work with this, the one you've always dreamed of? Or would you walk away, knowing that you could end up crushed? Knowing that the one you've always dreamed of is not the one for you?..... Yes, another may come into your life someday, that may be more compatible, but I'm talking about possibly waiting for this more compatible person for many long years, maybe forever. Do you walk away and keep the fantasy, or do you risk it not working out?
Now, let's say that you decide to go for it, but you find out that you have one night with this dream, this vision, this perfect entity of your imagination, and no matter how perfect the evening may go, you know you will never see them again. Do you continue, or do you walk away. ....
Discussing this with friends who are in a relationship is difficult, since the truth could irritate the other, but it's a good question, in my mind, to think about. WHat if it were to happen, what would you do.
Trivial I'm sure, but a much better topic that talking politics, and prejudice. I've never really been one to like those topics. But this one. It happened to someone I know, and the emotional turmoil it caused sparked drama, confusion, excitement, and more emotions and questions than I've ever heard of flooding a soul at one time.
So, if you met the one of your dreams, and could spend only one night with them, would you go for it, or would you walk away??????
When I return to the cyber world, I hope i have some responses. Don't forget, the anonymous comment feature would work well in this case... :)
While I'm gone from the Cyber world, I'll be working part time at Rees' Greenhouse just outside of town. Since I don't have a garden this year, this will be a great opportunity to get my hands dirty. I have tried to post pictures of it, but the Blogger is being stuburn. The view is great, and the setting is perfect. Of course my ol' horticulturist friend in St.Louis would have a heart-attack if he knew I was working in a greenhouse. Where I always started with the perfect garden, by August, there were usually only a few plants hanging on for dear life, he always blamed me for not watering.... Oh well. I just wont mention that fact to Tony. :)
What else have I been doing??.... Oh.... I've been helping my good friends Phil and Coy work on their new farmhouse in Elk, aprox. 20 miles from town. OK, I've been standing around talking and entertaining them more than anything, but it's good to be finding good quality friends up here.
Saddly enough, I think I'm out of things to say. I'm sure I'll have many more in the future. Losing the 'net' AND my cable.... ugh.... it'll be tough....
Until next time. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
