Louis,

“What happens to a dream deferred……does it dry up like a raisin in the sun..?” L. Hughes

I could not say it better than this…follow your heart!  k

This is in response to Adrienne..

If you don’t know them, have never physically met…this is a stranger..

There’s no in between. A relative is a person connected to you by blood or marriage.  k

Last visit...Leo took center stage…[  he always will with me, look him up~Leo Buscaglia~}

a little book called "LOVE".

okay sooooo...life, death and in between was also prominent.last posting...

Life we are handed, death we have no clue,  and in between is now, right?

I have never been a follower, have maybe missed out on some good times [probably]….but what I am referring to  is making weird friends on-line…whether you tweet them on Twitter,  or face them on Face book, or give up [your life]  space on My-space…it is a large waste of time…unless you are so goddamn lonely or ugly your  worst fear would be to sit across the table from  someone and actually converse…[lost art]…you really don’t need to reach out to people who don’t know you,  don’t want to know you and  ‘ frankly my dear don’t really give a damn’    about  you.  Be vigilant on what you share of your life with these strangers…

Forget the teens that are video-taping themselves in their bedrooms… in lewd positions…thinking it’s a real hoot..[a  turn - on]  never realizing some A-hole,   in Germany  is taping your crotch to his fridge, and making travel plans to get to your home town…to taste the merchandise…Forget that…no patience for complete insanity!!! and about that— [insanity]  have you caught a glimpse of the morons with their asses out up at the bus stop?  Look ~~~I kid you not-   they are cinching thier belts around their knees…and offering up their underwear to the general public… without any thought as to how mentally challenged they look~~

and yet  it is the adults who make me wonder about their mental capacity  those of you  who spend their evenings and week ends….playing word games with other idiots..and forgetting that life is just outside the window…naw…I’m not going to get all poetic on your ass.. I am just completely confused   on when and where we all decided   that cell phones, texting, and logging on at all hours   was  better than sitting across from each other, eye to eye…and actually conversing..[that's talking to the unenlightened out there]…It’s a lost art..

Don’t get me wrong   I own and use all the latest gadgets…but they  don’t use me ~~~  I use them !

All kinds of script shortcuts…texting..not sexting…can be fun…info in...that’s it.

So many sign off with “X’s” we all know to stand for ‘kisses…but did you know that X’s were first used in ancient days, when few people knew how to write, they would simply sign an X’ to show their agreement, then ‘kiss’ the mark to emphasize their sincerity?

Good stuff, pick up a book!  kate

dear waiting,

Leo Buscaglia, a very smart man, once wrote~~

“A total immersion in Life, offers the best classroom for learning to Love.”

[Learning to love is an endless process]

What can you do to find love?– start with liking who you are!

then you will have someone special to offer her.,

Learn a little something from each encounter, take it with you and build on it,

and remember to invest all of yourself, always.

There isn’t a woman alive who does not want to feel that she is the end all to her man!

kate

dear kate,  reading ‘Reatta’  I was thinking that maybe there are no ‘happy endings;

When i was a little boy i never dreamed or thought about who i was going to marry or what my wedding day would be like. I just didn’t care. But now that i am older thats all i look forward to is finding my soul mate.  I’m only 22 so i know i have time but it just seems so hard to meet good girls… ‘good’ being the key word here. I don’t drink so i dont want to keep meeting drunk girls at bars & online dating just doesn’t seem natural to me so what am i supposed to do???

Sincerely,

Waiting for my happy ending

Mimi,

It’s all good!

that  little bistro   lower east side…..EPSTEIN BAR???
the FISH TRUCK in Chinatown –   BI-POLAR??

THE  strange little cafe     that offers…..”exotic, edible chow ~~

DEEP FRIED FROG PARTS~~

with surprise salad!”

and of course one sad, lovely lady singing loudly  ~~  but to no one in particular.?

katey

Fair-tale ending?

This is in response to Reatta:

[afraid to 'try again']

I am sorry to have to tell you  that  the road to true love is never as rosy as Hollywood portrays. Problems in  life  just don’t  disappear   as the characters kiss and the credits roll.

Relationships are never that ‘easy’.  Life always get’s in the way, people are not one-dimensional, it’s not all about the Friday nite date and/or picnics in the park on Sundays..

In reality, 90% of our lives are unceremonious…we function to show up at work, so as to make the rent, pay the bills, shop, eat, and walk the  dog.

This elusive thing called ‘love’, finding a soul mate  is  not without complications.  You’ve been “single and not so happy” and  yet you are afraid to throw yourself into the fray again,  for fear of rejection…but there is no other way…to find someone   who  wants pretty much what you want out of life..

Believe it or not  there is someone out there for you.  You need to be armed this time  with the knowledge that the fleeting euphoria that brings people together..that time of discovery and newness, when things are just ’superb’ is just that …’fleeting’  and this is when you see what each of you are made of..dealing with the real world and still keeping that commitment to each other that makes this life pleasurable. When it makes you happy   to make him/her happy   your half-way home.  love kate

I think your Mom is trying to save you some heart break here  although I don’t agree with her methods,

Well, it seems President Barak Obama  is now

following me on TWITTER..

Is this a great country  or what??

I wonder   does he do isometric exercises…

while listening to boring speeches??  k

dear somewhat,

To be certain is  to know things   beyond a shadow of a doubt.

It  would be lovely if life allowed us this bit of luxury, but that aint going to happen it seems.

This  is   why the age old religious struggle  will never end..some of us   just don’t know thesebible teachings  to  be   an  absolute fact…so   we go along…hoping   someone hears our prayers…just that act alone  helps us  each day…admitting  we are not infallible [sure] of any of it…but open to miracles.

Now I said   I definitely  do  not believe in ‘ghosts….but  ANGELS?  they   walk among us each day, I speak from years of experience.  It seems…they  just walk up and say something  you need to hear…and walk on.

If you doubt this   you are closed up  to the inexplicable laws of  nature…the astonishing goodness that surrounds us each day..kate

dear kate,

You are so right, my loved ones that have passed are on my mind at some point almost everyday. This keeps them alive in my heart & in my memories. Memories to me are so precious! To me they are one of the most valuable things on this earth! Thank you for helping ease my uncertainty!

somewhat less than uncertain

Uncertain,

I have never seen a ghost either…but there are so many things I have not [personally] experienced in this life, only a fool would be certain.

What exactly is a ghost anyway, is it the bogey-man?   a bit too spooky and supernatural  for me to spend time on.

I can say with some certanty, that when we die  it is the brain that dies.The 1300 grams of gray matter in our heads are where we store memory and learning.

The difference between Life and Death is in that  LIFE  we have the potential to create, in DEATH the potential to create is passed on to a receptive brain [one that lives]  through their  memory of the deceased.

So as long as we are REMEMBERED we continue to have a physical effect on other people’s brains, so  that we are not technically [or at least fully]  dead, until all memory of us dies.

As an aside  while living we are often compared to ‘computers’ … Human hardware is the Body, and the Software = the wiring  of  the brain.

Our brains are the sole determinate of our identity..

Do you find this helpful Uncertain?

From personal experience  the loved ones that have passed  on before me, are alive and well in my  heart and mind.

love katey
