Sunday Musings…

It’s kind of hard to believe that it’s already Sunday! Where do these weekends go? Saturday, I spent the day trying to catch up on my cleaning. I needed to polish and clean all the glass in my living room area. I took up an old area rug and chucked it out, got rid of the pesky one fish I had left in the fish tank. Vacuumed and dusted everything in site.

This morning, I took apart the fish tank & gained some more room in the living room! I am very happy about this as I like lots of living space. Not much else to do today because it is off & on cloudy/rainy/sunny. So I have pretty much been inside all day & have been watching movies. I really need to get into the closet and organize it though. I just have been putting it off because it’s not something I want to tackle.

The New Look…

Yesterday, I was even able to re do my other blog - The Blog Searcher

I was just in the mood for change, so I thought  why not re do the blog to give it a more updated look. I am not 100% done with it yet, but so far it’s looking pretty ok. Go check it out if you are interested. I have become quite restless it seems and I want to be changing everything again. Was even thinking of changing the look of Simple Mindz. Not sure yet though. Maybe I will just change the sidebars around but keep the same theme.

Joining the ranks…

In case you all have not noticed, I have become an affiliate of the “Date a Cougar” site.

Why the heck have you done that, you are probably asking? Well, it’s because I get TONS of hits for people looking to date older women. It’s amazing how many searches are done with “younger guy, older women, “dating older women,” etc… in my stats.

So I figured, I might as well add some links here, jump on the bandwagon and make more cash. It’s just a dating site, so maybe I can give people what they are looking for.

Sheesh, I added it yesterday and have already had 4 hits on my links. And, when people upgrade to the paid members area I will be getting $35.00. Can’t say that’s all too bad huh?

Immature people…

Am not too sure with that title. I am just annoyed with people in general this week. I put my heart into things and it seems only to be kicked when I am down. Maybe it’s my own fault. Actually, I know it’s my own fault. I keep allowing the wrong people into my life. I have tried to do a lot of “inner self” searching this week. And I cannot help but think I am the one that causes my own heartache.

I think I am just too nice sometimes. Too trusting when I should not be. I put up with shit for so long. Years even,  and for what?  Stomach ulcers, low self esteem, anxiety, That’s what.

I can tell you one thing though. It’s time to delete the nasty people on my Myspace account. The ones that leave nasty little comments directed towards me?  Screw that. No more. I do not need the stress in my life. I am trying to improve my life, not take another step back.  So, I say, “buhbye” to people that do not treat me as I should be treated.

Seriously. I just want to be treated with respect. That seems to much to be asking for though, cause I am constantly being walked over. Not anymore though. I am just very tired of being hurt. Time to take a stand.

Ok…I am done ranting….. For now anyways.  :)

So, while searching through my older files tonight, I found this poem by Pablo Neruda. I actually first heard it when I saw the movie, “Patch Adams.” I loved that movie. And I don’t know if you all know - but “Patch Adams” is a real person. And this was a true story.

Of course, as most movies are - some of it was changed, but one thing remains true… This is just a beautiful piece.     :)

Sonnet XVII - Pablo Neruda

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

**note: I have seen this poem with the words “Intimate” where the word “close” is. I actually, like the “close” version better)**
