Home Again, Naturally

Home in Edwardsville, realizing for the moment that the only reason I haven't moved back here is that I have this weird hangup that I'll narrow my chances of "meeting someone" if I do. However, the mere act of writing that down makes me realize just how inane and ignorant that thought process is. Am I now officially on a 3 year plan to move back to my home town?

Saw Cold Mountain today. All I have to say is that all people who are involved in perpetuating a relationship that is not 100% honest and pure should be ashamed. People have walked through hell to be with each other for like a minute, and here we are getting married to people who have the right occupation or who would make good breeding partners. It's an insult to anyone who has ever made a sacrifice to be with someone they really truly love to participate in a relationship anything more than genuine. In our days of match.com and jdate.com it's way too easy to be "in love." So few of us really know what it's all about. I think. Not that the execution of the movie was all that. But the concept on which it was based just made me think. I am officially done wasting my time, energy and what I have to give - 'cause I got a lot to give and ain't just anybody worthy :) . . .

I can't get behind every Madonna lyric, but this one, from "Material Girl," seems to apply, in a tangential way:

Experience has made me rich
And now they're after me

Thanks for the happy birthday blog assemblage; it's a lovely thing.
