Thinking Out Loud...: Entry for September 03, 2006

Well, it's the end...

It's the end of Romance week in the blogging world. Part of me is glad to see it go. It was hard being romantic and trying to find romance. Oh others didn't seem to have that problem, posting new romantic things of love every day. I only blogged once on romance and then romance kind of lost it's luster. Perhaps it was apathy on my part, maybe it was my cynicism, but romance never really caught on in my blog. It sparked once and had a tiny glow that went out quickly.

I thought I would end Romance week on a big bang. I googled and looked for one last bit of romance to end the blogging week with, and I thought I had found the perfect match. As I waited for the webpage to load on my slow dial-up I could see that things weren't going to work out. I left as quickly as I came to another link,.... one that offered more.

Romance 101. I had found it! The perfect title, ....must be the perfect webpage. I should have had this from the beginning, it could have answered everything. I started scrolling down my new Romance 101 page....and I started to get that sinking feeling..... Romance wasn't looking to optimistic...

Did you know in Halethorpe, Maryland that it is against the law to kiss for more than one minute? I can see the folks in Halethorpe, Maryland weren't too keen on romance either.

Midway down the webpage was a section labeled..."Pregnancy Dictionary"...that is one sure way of cooling those romantic notions. I scrolled down faster, I didn't need to be caught by some spybot reading about pregnancy. It's bad enough getting the male enhancement viagra e-mails trickling in,...ads sent to me on baby wipes and First Response Pregnancy kits are the last thing my e-mail needs to be privy too.

Scrolling down was a section on "Wedding Advice".....HA! ..should have thought of that before the pregnancy dictionary....

Romance wasn't seeming to be so hot after all.

Further down on the page was a fact on kissing. It claimed that kissing first started as a way to taste or gauge someone's mood. Heaven only knows how the person is feeling if you taste brussel sprouts on their face. ...I think I will hold off on "tasting" anyone's face or mood till after they have had dessert.

By this time I was getting a bit frantic. If a webpage listing it's self as "Romance 101" was not giving me a clue than how was I suppose to manage on my own? Oh they had lots of urls for you to click on about romance. Those links took you to other links on romance and so on and so on...

Romance was either playing hard to get or it was giving me the run around.

Misty was yelling at me earlier that it had been three days since my last blog, and that I needed to get my butt in gear, she needed new reading material. Geesh, I was ready to tell her to find her own romance. I never knew there was going to be this kind of pressure when I first started blogging.

At the very bottom of the romance page I spied a little purple box. It said..."Quick Honey Search".

At last!...I had found it!...Why wasn't this posted at the very top of the page? It would have saved me so much time looking......

I clicked on it........

Okay the first "honey quick search" didn't go very well since I forgot to change the box from male to female and change the ages....

Second lucky spin for my honey.....crossing fingers...holding breath.....and ....I am booted off my computer.

Seems my computer has something against romance as well. Maybe it is even more pessimistic than me? Or maybe if just didn't want to see me make another stupid mistake like the first spin. Maybe my computer had more sense than me, after all I had been visiting a webpage that boasted of a pregnancy dictionary and of "tasting" peoples faces for moods.

Romance week was fun......but I am glad it's over.... My blog and I were starting to feel so inadequate.

Well Vic. You saw how my romance week went on my blog. I'm not the man I used to be. Getting caught dressing the lettuce leaves was a lil humiliating too. But, I can't say I was ever the frantic romantic you are now. I did frame the note you left me though. hehehe

Dear Viccles...you will NEVER be inadequate! I relish the way you observe and describe life, ok, AND love lol. A thought...you being the choccie-munchkin that you are, it's a wonder that suitors from far and wide aren't lining up - chocolate sure beats brussel sprouts or *shudder* anchovies! (hugs)

Jim....a note? *strokes chin* I've had one of those notes...not from ms viccles, she's a girly-wirly, but a special little note that I'd like to frame. It was signed.....'frog'.....AAARRGGGHH! LOL :)

Awwwwww, Vic. Come here and let me give you a big HUG!

Ummmm, what's the bowl of lettuce for? Feeding rabbits? Have you been b-a-a-a-a-a-aad?

Notes being left? Framed? This is starting to sound like a funny cartoon movie.

Aw shucks glad someone had the nerve to point out those flies. When you think about it maggots when put on a egg scale do have weight. Twasn't butterflies in the stomach but maggots thus the twinges, gas and full belly feeling creating an aura about Vic's head/bod which Jim so curageously pointed out as an infestation of flies. Man them suckers was to big to be of the fruit variety.
Plugs nose and waves to Vic....Oh and thanks for the readin material. Bout time.
