I've decided to take a new approach to blogging by posting things I've written and presented at various events (open mics etc). I look forward to reading your comments.
Crazy little thing called love
I’d like to thank google chrome and Tom Robbins for the information, observations, motivation and more. I would also like to thank the late George Carlin the cadence of my piece…. You see….
John Coltrane gave us “a love supreme” & the Beatles gave us “love is all you need”
There are love ballads and love birds
There’s love in C minor and I love me some coconut crème pie
There’s love detectors and love divine
Facebook has love emojis and many have unrealistic expectations of love
An invitation to a love fest might use a love font
I was part of the love generation but I’m certainly no love guru
I’ve got love handles and we all know love sure ain’t no Hallmark movie
There’s images of love and we all envision our ideal love
You can have a love jones if you’re a love junky
Most folks love kissing and you can tie a lover’s knot
Shakespeare wrote Love’s Labour Lost and some write love letters
There are love matches and love muffins
There’s love nicknames but no love ninjas
Many have written odes to love and for some love is an obsession.
There are love potions and love poems
There’s love quotes but no love quotas
Most of us love romance and all of us risk rejection
Love can inspire a tattoo and we all know love takes time
There’s unconditional love and unrequited love
There’s love verses and vows, love has a vocabulary but love probably isn’t a verb
Samuel Coleridge loved Xanadu and I love xenophiles
You can love your house and you darn sure ought to love yourself
There’s love in Zimbabwe and I’m pretty sure you don’t profess your
love with a Cubic Zirconium. …..
You see, I’ve talked with old folks, young folks, white folks, black folks, Asian folks, Spanish speaking folks, straight folks, gay folks, Hindu folks, evangelical folk, Muslims folks, Sikhs folks, Unitarian folks and atheists. I’ve talked with widows, widowers, brides and former nuns. I’ve talked with drag queens, transsexuals, a-sexuals and poly-amorists. I talked with those swearing off love and those longing for love.
I’ve learned no matter how you see others as different we share common expectation, desires, fears, longings, concerns and commitment to this “crazy little thing called love”.
I’m relatively certain we all know a marriage or relationship isn’t always going to be perfect. In closing I‘ll paraphrase Paul Sweeney who said “The anniversary of any relationship is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. Just remember the order varies at any given time.”

I know we're all here for sexual reasons. My question is do you define yourself by your sexual desires or preferences or is it only a part of who you are? What say Yyou?

I'm curious why others are here.
I've been a member for many years and I've come to recognize I stay for different reasons at different times which are as follows....
I initially joined for sensual reasons and that remains (although the importance of sensuality varies from time to time). There are times I view profiles through the lens of eroticism and other times I'm drawn to a witty introduction or a well written profile.
I find when I work a lot and don't have time to connect with friends I crave communication and the chat rooms provide interaction. If flirting happens that's a bonus but it's not my priority.
I've had the pleasure of interacting with a variety of people over the years. Some I still chat with and others were a mutually pleasing diversion.
What say you?

We all have beliefs we hold near and dear, I get that. What I can’t understand is what seems to be the all too common practice of belittling anyone who might see things differently. Does that make us better people? I think not. In my estimation strident opinions do not indicate quality of character. I measure the quality of one’s character by the very simple standard of how they treat their fellow human beings and specifically those with whom they disagree. Something to think about eh?

Are you the same person here as you are in your day to day life?

I can't and won't speak for anyone other than myself but I believe I'm the same person. I choose not to put on airs or to inflate (pun intended) the length and girth of my manly parts...lol. My thought is if I'm the same person I won't have to remember untruths. I would be interested in reading your thoughts.

There are times when I visit the chat rooms and find women being treated as parts of their anatomy and not as human beings. Am I alone in finding that distasteful?
Now don't get me wrong I enjoy dancing the horizontal mambo as much as the next man. However I find it much more fulfilling if see the woman as a whole person and not the sum of her parts (although I do love the parts).
What say you?

As a long time member of Local Adult Companion my expectations have certainly changed from my first foray into the world of chat rooms.
When I first joined my expectations and desires were primarily sexual in nature. Not that I expected to meet someone and immediately dance the "horizontal mambo" but rather to be stimulated by photos and conversation. While I still desire that from time to time it's no longer my expectation and certainly not a need.
I've meet a few people from Local Adult Companion and I'm pleased to say for the most part the experiences have been positive. I can truthfully say jerks and jerkettes have been in the minority.
I'm interested to hear about the experience of others.
Good day y'all.....

I'm curious about expectations of this site. I have the sense there's a big difference between men and women. With that in mind I certainly believe there's an overlap in some cases. I would be interested in hearing the thoughts of others.
