NEW POST :)
Hello friends-
Much as i've been extremely entertained by the series of comments following the last post...i do think it time for an entirely new entry. so Shabbat was nice- complete and total lazy day. Incredible feeling when you just lift schedule, time, and other daily things off your chest and absorb the peace of the day. Caught up on some reading (hmm...the Dante Club...Michel Foucault's "Society Must Be Defended" and read up on Biartiz in south of France). Anyone have any books to suggest? any films? I have two and half weeks before Rosario and I leave to the Great Continent {helas!!} and although I will be working there will have ample time on my hands (to catch up on all those lunch dates and picnics :) oh! Maman made heavenly strawberry apple crumpets (come over for some). And for the weather report: it rained on and off never got quite pouring nor fully dry....sort of hazy dewy musty day (i do love the smell) the sky was as indecisive as me as i contemplate venturing outward for a visit [though the books prevailed].
In regard to the issue of 'Anonymous' postings...I refuse to guess who's posting what (simply because i've guessed wrong too many times to admit to... and consequently made an utter fool of myself) i don't mind it. I always appreciate anonymitity (which is why i choose to travel under... well.... not my usual names) One day i'll have to post a rather hilarious story that involved my forgetting of my new name (Sig- i remind you of Netanya???). So as they say somewhere- whatever floats your boat works for me.
I was just reading some interesting blog posts on various sites of friends of friends.
to the 'Realist or Cynic' sweetheart, how can you possibly call youself such a thing?? Your innocent and truly genuine declarations moved me deeply (how old and wrinkled my soul feels).
I am inspired by such devotion...
Apparently i have nothing to enlightening or humorous to say- This Shabbat i had an epiphany regarding my book...i am going to include a chapter called the "Method of Marriage" [for those who don't know it will not be an expose but a personal account] for those of you who didn't like my phrase 'love happened' you'll get a sneak peak on it.
Righto my dear fair beautiful friends- i bid you good week, good cheer, and good [hmm what am i craving] ripe red lusciously fresh cherries... :)
To one who has been long in city pent,
'Tis very sweet to look into the fair
And open face of heaven,- to breathe a prayer
Full in the smile of the blue firmament.
Who is more happy, when, with heart's content,
Fatigued he sinks into some pleasant lair
Of wavy grass, and reads a debonair
And gentle tale of love and languishment?
Returning home at evening, with an ear
Catching the notes of Philomel,- an eye
Watching the sailing cloudlet's bright career,
He mourns that day so soon has glided by,
E'en like the passage on an angel's tear
That falls through the clear ether silently.
nothing like a bit of Keats on a rainy night. I love the way poetry looks on a blog- so culture clash, so odd, so...patheticly devoid of depth...like open flat red sticky cheap wine...like art without truth. Still despite all... my affair with words endures...
peace to you all loves...peace to you all.

whens the book coming out? care to elaborate on the marriage chapter and where youre researching as im pretty sure youre not or havent ever actually been married? :)
Hey Hila,
Saying hi, since we didn't get to talk much on Fri.
ooh la la Monsieur Anonymous :)
the libre comes out when i am a bit more settled in my life [libre: libra: balance, possibly with male protection :]... as you know no good writer tells her sources :) but my research is actually prevalent to life at the moment. i just observe the mechanics moving wordlessly- the Machine that if you let it can take precedence to everything...
and no, thankfully there's no annelo on this finger :)
And...monseiur anonymous
you must have been the 'anonymous' posting on the last post (1:57 am) care to defend your opinion on hormones? men? i'm suspicious... sounds like your humoured with this blog... :) good. so am i. :) bein, mon petite chou chou.
the marriage thing, lol, seems as if you learnt a lot of what im learning now, but dont worry its never as flowery as they make it seem. haha
okay, hind, as for liking poetry on your blog, here is another one of my weak, lame attempts:
Words
She stood by the side
Blood etched into her cheeks
Like words
She presses her forehead to the screen
Cold leaves a stain
Handprint in the sand
Like some kind of fatal reminder
And she stops
And she watches
The lights of the city blur
She pulls her face away
Keeps her eyes staring toward the end
Past the broken sidewalks
Past everything
And she leaves her soul behind
At the window that is
And no one notices
When the blood leaves her face
And stays with them in the room
it offends me that you call your beautiful talent lame... lovely petite...really good. keep scribbling!!
i certainly can elaborate, the question is if i want to:). you look around, whittle away all influences that blind you, including your own pride. study your own behavior and that of other females, and come to your own conclusion. if your opinion remains steadfast, then give or take a couple of years and try again:):)
oh and i am marvelously entertained:) i salute you:):)
i don't think its so much about my pride, influence or behavior [and i am not assuming a holier than thou attitude, merely humbly observing]. Simply, I appreciate the law, respect the institution of marriage and it is precisely because of this high regard that i am not always entirely impressed with the method in which it is attained. I believe marriage is special, holy and sacred union, perhaps you can enlighten me with your opinion.
oh i certainly agree, but i thought this was about female sexual behavior. marriage is a different subject entirely:)
What is it with the image of youth and 'blinding' i hate that cliche...
aha so female sexual behavior is what we are discussing look how i managed to pull that one into one discussion on marriage (although i believe that's where we started off originally :) ) I'll tell you candidly what i think- i think many marriages result from hormones (that works for men and women both) alone combined with the spring season (statistically more people get engaged in the warmer months) i have a going theory why that happens...i believe that if we made that allowance in society marriage would happen a hell of a lot later... what do you think? let's here you out mister...
im not sure i agree with you on that. for people who have hung together for longer than two weeks time, a winter allowance would be more than welcome, they dont need the spring. as for the others, i dont think seasons count much either. i think more people get engaged in the spring because its a nicer time i dont think its hormonal. sex in the spring may be:) and i dont think marriage would happen later. i think people want to get married. its the baggage that comes along that theyd perhaps want to postpone.

Hey hindoreilly. How you dzoin? Hope you are well, don't get much of a chance to talk to you these days. Perhaps I should employ the telephone seems to have been keeping my ear quite warm these past couple days. Anyhow hope you are well and keep blogging, I love all the different colors with the black background. Reminds me of the dark rollerskating rinks with the flourescent lights we used to go to in fourth grade. Your blog ambience period 1992. Just pokin fun. Peace love and tomatoes.

you are right to a certain degree- humans like to connect- they enjoy communication in the variety of ways it comes in. However, there is definitely something bilogical with sexual relations and springtime... look around you!! Ever wonder why it's called the 'birds and the bees'. I mean this with complete dignity and respect for the institution and sanctity of human relationships [this is not a topic i often engage in]. Relationship/ Marriage has to be worth it for the long run, you have truly like the person and want the person on so many levels, so deeply, that the relationship is powerful enough to overcome the issues that come along... to that extent love is a choice. Love is something that must come with Reason in order for it to be worth anything at all. Shakespeare said "love sees not through the eyes but through the mind" Chassidus also says- unity is a meeting of minds. i just wonder if some of these 'super' young married kids realize...if they wake up one morning and realize that what they thought was love, or connection was passion, lust, and the like...
So while i concur with you that women, as men, have the same hormonal makeup and still, if you are a man i am sure you realize, it is not quite the same. So while we agree, we also disagree...
