No offense, but I laughed out loud as I read your post. I'd be sympathetic, but at least you can pick yourself back up and clean the mess without the many possible distractions that might exist if your life were different. Just sayin'. Chin up, move on. And you'll laugh with me in a few days (years?).

I went to see Machete the other night and while walking to the theater my pants started to slide down. Well I have my drink in one hand the popcorn in the other and my cell phone in my mouth. Before I could reposition everything and before I lost my pants I managed to spill my popcorn and still lose my pants. Damn it boy!!

Oh Matty... thanks:) Today has been a really stressful day - I even forgot to eat. I just realized now that my stomach hurts because last time I chewed on anything was before noon.

And I definitely needed tires!

2010-09-07T23:30:06.842-04:00

Look at it this way:

You know your smoke detector works.

Your tires are now brand new and you won't be sliding out in the rain or going around corners.

You are the safest person around.

See, there is a silver lining in everything.

I know, right? I think we all have those common frustations. I was just in a conference call and had to talk about a "bar back" (you know, the guy that helps the bartender) and kept saying back bar over and over until I realized it sounded funny and someone corrected me. Ha! It is what it is.... It's the price bilinginius-ness! :)))

Being a bilingual myself, I can completely relate to this most.. just the words I hate/avoid are a little different :)

"if a statuesque Spanish hottie (not mentioning any names) wanted to ask me a queshohn I'd still melt into a big pathetic puddle of English-speaking-only goo"

You have lost it... seriously lost it:)))

Thanks my friend! It seems like the more I get into the profession, the language and the literature, the higher my standards are for EVERYTHING.

Thanks for always making me smile!

2010-09-06T19:50:17.502-04:00

I went to take a Spanish course once. Told the teacher I was bi-curious and she just looked at me sideways. Wassup wit dat?

Spanish is the hottest effing language on the planet Cindy, so I wouldn't worry about a few mispronunciations. I can promise you if a statuesque Spanish hottie (not mentioning any names) wanted to ask me a queshohn I'd still melt into a big pathetic puddle of English-speaking-only goo. Fo shizzle.

Ouch. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has IQ problems when he drinks too much. Kudos to him for a valiant effort, though.

Ha! This kid was drunk as a skunk trying desperately to hold it together and have a convo with me. It was a good try... and he was pretty handsome. Major FAIL.

2010-09-04T20:41:16.603-04:00

Sadly, I've learned that having letters after your name, i.e. RN, MD, JD, PA, PhD., etc., doesn't mean jack. There are so many morons out there that have degrees, but have the intelligence and common sense of a rock. You don't even need math to be a doc-go figure!

Complete awesomeness. How can you be so hot and so smart at the same time? You're like an enigma wrapped up in a sodoku...or something.

2010-08-31T20:11:41.684-04:00

If anyone can manage all that you have going on, it's you. I admire your work ethic. You're doing so much, and not only are you learning, but you're teaching as well. I hope that you find some time for yourself and avoid that dreaded burnout.

2010-08-31T15:59:51.589-04:00

That's awesome that you are doing what you want to do. If it's what you really want then it's worth the sacrifice. I had a dream which didn't work out and have yet to come up with a new one.

good luck and have fun in your new adventure, Cindy! Thanks for visiting me at Wonder Wifey (it's all mediocre now boohoo...but I think I'm bouncing back...I think..hahha). I'll be back here. Thanks for spreading sunshine always!

loved this post!

i'm with you, i HATE being attached. i find it impossible to detach my emotions, prob cus i'm italian and it's just not in the cards for me! but it really sucks, alot of the time and sets you up for some major heartaches.

You guys are awesome - love this feedback. Miche...

2010-08-21T00:31:39.345-04:00

You guys are awesome - love this feedback.

Michelle that's so perfect... "let it be a moving sea..." --> I love that. Everything is in flux anyway.

Ann - so true. I believe it too. It gets hard sometimes!

Bones Bones Bones... don't ahem-me... WHUT.EVA. Who said I was looking for perfection?! I'm not even looking! But glad you chimed in - I actually agree with you. I want to be free and let that other person be just as free while crazy loving them at the same time. In THEORY, I worked it all out in my head... but who knows... I have zero practice.

But Barry!!!!! It's the total opposite of not giving a damn... it's loving so much that they're free of your bias and your ego. Like if Sandy was to move to Miami to be my roommate and leave you in the dust, you'd be SUPER happy for her because you knew how much she's wanted to. Ha! NOT SO MUCH, eh???? :-p~~~

Karina! You're right! Cats ARE masters of detachment! What a good analogy........... hhhmmm.... I like that!!!

Patrick dear - The desire to possess anything is a problem... even more when it's a person. I accept I can only control me and my actions and my reactions, but like I said, I still struggle with the attachment part of relationships. You had a toddler sitting next to you on the flight back home? And the baby lived?!?!?! Wow... good job.

2010-08-20T12:39:07.964-04:00

I think it all comes down to definitions. I do not feel it wrong or deleterious to become attached to people (things, perhaps). BUT when that attachment becomes proprietary--when you feel owed by this other human being. It is the desire to POSSESS that is a problem. And most of us have at least a little of that in us.

Just let go of it. Accept the only person you can control--or should control--is you. Unless of course you have a 2 year old and are sitting next to me on an airplane...

When all is said and done, the only thing you'll b...

2010-08-20T01:47:53.309-04:00

When all is said and done, the only thing you'll be taking with you as you continue your journey in the heavens is love, so practice often. :)

Whenever I feel that I'm getting too attached to something or someone, I remind myself that nothing or no one is mine to begin with. Even life itself is a temporary loaner. Everything I have today could be gone tomorrow (I really really really wouldn't want that to happen, but I realize that it could). Perhaps true freedom would come the day that we're voluntarily willing to give everything up... just let it all go... yeah...nope, still not there yet. LOL

Please let me know when you figure out how to be less human. I have personally tried to be more like my cats, the masters of detachment, but the only thing we have in common is that we're all fat. Not exactly the result I was aiming for. (sigh)

BTW, there's nothing wrong with longing for someone you love. Be concerned the day you don't feel that way anymore. ;)
