Martini Moments…… While Looking through the Contemplative Glass
1. Some thoughts are best not spoken, but ensuring they’re quietly understood can be an art form.
2. While some things clearly belong in the past, memories continue to live, becoming part of the present, and the future’s past.
3. Those who are drawn to popularity for popularity’s sake fail to see the essence of what’s beneath it.
4. Music stirs the cauldron of emotion while lyrics feed the soul.
5. When I peer through the contemplative glass and see my reflection, I invariably want it to sparkle as if I’m looking through a Martini glass.

1. An art form not easily grasped by too many people.
2. There are days when those memories themselves catch you in silent reminiscence, skewing your own present, forcing your future into the past. Other days they are a constant reminder of a future that needs to be created, not just for yourself, but for those you’re living in the present for.
3. To say popularity is overrated is just eating sour grapes. To say popularity is the by product of knowing what you do best is planting really sweet grapes.
4. And the whole dance routine is a show stopping moment where you shake your booty.
5. And perhaps you already have, in your own sharp sweetness and smooth delectable aftertaste.

Ah memories! They can be a real bugger, but you’d be well and truly buggered without them.

Wise words!

Kami:
1. For certain.
2. My thoughts exactly.
3. I don’t think it’s sour grapes. Some of us don’t want it, we’d just rather enjoy who we are.
4. If you’re into dancing!
5. I hope so… on many occasions.
Gorilla B: I wouldn’t want to lose my memory, that’s for sure. At least they remind us of our existence.
Sidney: Thanks. I surprise myself at times

1. Yes, there are a great many things unsaid… but implied. Sometimes though it leaves the door open for the wrong impression, or the wrong end of the stick. Then it gets very tricky indeed…
2. All we are now, and all we become in the end, are memories. © Geeb 2008
3. Popularity. *sigh*. I just never want that much pressure!
4. And attempt a Michael Jackson style moonwalk, with possibly disatrous results…
5. And thanks for reminding me I have not had red wine for 6 weeks! Nnnnnnoooooooooooooooo!!!

Gboy:
1. Indeed. Getting the right message across can be a real challenge.
2. Nice one Geeb!
3. It comes at a cost, no thanks.
4. Slipping?
5. And I’ve stopped drinking weeknights as of last week. Ugh…

Nice. These should be read while strapped to a chair with technicians playing calming music and telling you to relax.

1. Work on your scowl and amused eyebrow raises. Hominids evolved small irises for communication purposes, so use your eyes to say things. Obviously, writing disconnects you from the earliest forms of simian communication, so stop that entirely. Also: live in the jungle and use rocks to chip marrow out of carrion.
2. Carry on without trepidation and make memories irresponsibly, that’s my motto. My great-grandpa told me about homesteading up in Canada where he used his last money to buy a pot belly stove and two gallons of whiskey. Had he lived a better life, the guy would have just died being that boring old guy that lived with us.
3. Probably. Makes religion a little more weird, as if that was possible.
4. Ray Wylie Hubbard makes me say the same things. Buddy Guy makes it true.
5. Maybe my weakness of earth toned or sun bronzed women stems from my love of the caramel gasoline goodness of Wild Turkey.
You have educated me well today, ma’am.

Jarod: You mean while you’re kept warm in a strait jacket?
Casey:
1. How about scowling and raising eyebrows during written communication and expecting the recipient to understand.
2. Memories and regret seem to go hand in hand, so I like your motto.
3. Not into religion but Tom Cruise comes to mind here.
4. Lovely. *smiles*
5. I like the way you think. See, there is clarity in alcohol.
Thank you, but I am no ma’am.

What can I say, yes five times I suppose… I am weary and had a couple of beers so I do not have the clarity of non-polluted alcohol but I feel I am sound enough in mind to say…What ? Wait? Oh! Yes five fine points! I go bed now…My Best JW

JW: 5x cheers and good night. How’s that?

That reply sent me tearing through your archives to make sure you are not a man. No lie. I figured I had greatly insulted somebody. Thought you could appreciate that.
April 16th, 2008 at 8:29 am
Casey: I’m not a man, I’m sure my archives have shown you that. I just meant the word ma’am is not one I relate to on a positive level, not that you were to know. I should have put a smiley after my comment :).

I loved all of these. Especially 1 and 2.

Brookem: If only we could master living with both.
Thanks for your visit and welcome :)!
