Last night, my friend Neal, called me and asked me to come over for dinner before Capoeira. He had made a wonderful dinner and it had been so long since Neal and I just chilled. We were discussing how our generation is screwing itself over waiting for the soul mate. That it used to be you found someone who was compatiable, someone you could rely on and whom could rely on you and it worked out in the long run. Truth is that is all I want from Alexi that and of course my requirements. Neal on the other hand is looking for that soul mate that one special love…”bullshit” I say and poor Neal looked so sad. Neal refered to my list of requirements as “pragmatic” I’d rather think of them as the bare minimum. I don’t know I guess, my other friend Kevin says that I am too young and that is why I have such a list that at some point I will settle for a sane person.
I feel that in a way my requirments are so small. I am not looking for someone that I am constantly physically attracted to, I am not looking for someone that makes me giddy with every sight, I am not expecting some kind of tingel every time I hear their voice. So, why is it, like my generation, I am still waiting for that ring? Come one Alexi hurry the f-up.
Anyway, if any of you are culturally jewish ladies interested in an awesome man check out Neal. He is cute, sweet, dependable, stable, secure, std free, politically active, a great cook, an awesome friend, wants a family, a total catch.
In regards to Capoeira my body is failing me or rather I am failing my body. I’ve gained weight and haven’t been working out as much. I used to be able from a standing position to fall into a back bend and the flip myself over to escape from attack. I can’t anymore. I can still fall into the back bend but I can’t seem to get my body out of it, there is no escape which makes the move pointless. I also used to be able to do a macaco which I can’t anymore. I need to work out more, yeah.
You should do whatever makes you happy. Work out because it makes you feel good and strong, not because you think you need to loose weight.
I have to say that the list of requirements is…extensive? I don’t know the word I’m looking for. You should certainly never settle, but I do think that at some point people have to decide what is essential and what can be tossed. You know what’s important to you, at the end of the day.
As far as Neal goes, I actually watched some show about how people are getting married later and later because they are waiting for perfection, and perfection doesn’t exist. There will probably be things about your partner that drive you fucking crazy, but they are still right and good for you. I don’t know, I’m just trying to avoid watching Bush’s press conference right now :)
I thought I found the right person when my list became irrelevant.
It is interesting. Some cultures have no concept of “love,” in the romantic sense. They see marriage as an arrangement or a deal if you may that can mutually benefit the two.
Perfection? Some say only God is perfect. Why seek it in another if not yourself?
elena’s hot no matter what. outward appearance is easy to manage to the extent allowed by nature but no more than that. looking within, not without, is the real challenge and mastery of that will bring its own personal reward. i firmly believe the author of this blog is on the path towards such wisdom. rock on.
