Any love cultivated for a façade is destined to falter

If recognizing who you really are causes you no regrets and no pain, perhaps you can hope for someone who likewise accepts you as you accept yourself.

You can grow relationships with the appearance of love whilst hiding your true self, but can anyone be truly happy being something they are not?  True love requires we expose our selves… and not just the good stuff…. all of it – nasty habits, idiosyncratic character, disgraceful past and unacceptable proclivities.  It’s only in unreserved acceptance of all of you, that truer more enduring love can occur… It may not be the love you expected from the brochures, but it will be honest.

If someone is aware of all that lies beneath your armour and yet loves you still…. hell, someone probably already does love you for who you really are.  Anything else is a lie.

No one is no one….

Mysterious Quote

I keep having this quote flash through my mind lately.  I have no idea where it came from and don’t know how it got in there. but for some reason about this sentiment keeps creeping into my consciousness of late.   Which no doubt is very deep and meaningful, but I’m too tired to assess that right now.

Additionally, I can’t for the life of me remember who said it… a quick Google turned up nothing….  I can’ t seem to find who the author is, or what it was in reference to (could be because it’s so damn late and I’ve done a slap dash job of trying to find it… might have another look tomorrow). 

’tis tomorrow….  13/03/07  14.20
    I did managed to have another search for that quote this morning, and discovered it was Martin Luther King Jnr, which throws a whole new light onto the context and intention of the expression.  Amazing how the meaning alters so much when you know who said it……  suddenly my picture seems kinda disrespectful*

*note that I left it here anyway 😛

WANTED : DINNER MONKEY

Must be an excellent conversationalist , have vast life experience and plenty of interesting/appalling tales with which to regale his dinner companions. Ability to easily converse on numerous topics, including (but not limited to): movies, international politics, psychology, BDSM, religion, tyres, music,  historical embroidery, mushroom recipes, art galleries, medieval history, books, technology,  photography, tequila, travel,tattooing, unemployment, and Izzardisms will be considered a bonus.  A fine appreciation of the absurd, a combattive verbal style and a tendency towards a dry/sarcastic sense of humor also required. Prefer… a not too fussy eater who comes with nice dry reds.  References may be required. 😉   Apply via email… all bribes accepted.

Yep, I think we need a new Dinner Monkey. I’ve barely had 2 or 3 dinner parties in the last 12 months since my Dinner Monkey left town… who would have thought he’d be so difficult to replace!  I imagine there would be any number of willing and available bachelor types (you know guys… who don’t/can’t cook) out there prepared to be the entertainment for the evening in return for a home cooked meal… but alas…. this seems not to be the case.  🙂

Perhaps my previous Dinner Monkey, MD, set the bar a little too high huh?  HdM has tried to valiantly to fill the vacant Dinner Monkey shoes, but is soon to come with time consuming girlfriend attachment, so not so useful a Dinner Monkey as one might hope for!!!   lol


my pet!

God bless the internet

I got to catch up with MD today!   It was the first time since Christmas Day that we’ve had a chance to have a really good chat.  Sounds like he is getting along well, though I did  notice that he asked me about four times what was going on with everyone back here, so I guess he must be a little home sick…  probably a very little :).  While I was on the phone with him, we were chatting about the bomb that went off last weekend while he was out carpet shopping, which I originally saw on the BBC news website.  So I happened to flick over the BBC RSS feed to see if there was any follow up on that story… and I found this link.  🙂  This one is actually funny!

We had a good old giggle about the absolute stupidity of these guys carrying their suicide bomb on a pushbike …  😐   I was in such a good mood for the rest of the afternoon after getting a chance to talk with him … I just felt comfortable again.  I always seem to get a bit antsy when I don’t get to keep in touch with my few real friends on a regular basis.  Maybe that’s why I go to such stupid lengths sometimes to keep in touch with the people that really matter to me.

Explosion kills two in Pakistan

Police say they hit a road bump on the outskirts of a town in the province. Police in Pakistan say two people have been killed in the province of Punjab after the bomb they were carrying on a bicycle accidentally exploded.

Deputy Superintendent Bashir Ahmed said they did not know whether the two men intended to plant the explosives or to carry out a suicide attack.

Correspondents say Pakistan has suffered a series of suicide attacks in recent weeks.  The two men died near Chichawatni, 120km (75 miles) north of Multan.  There is speculation that there were intending to detonate the bomb at a large cattle market, which is being held in the town.
