With my hands tied behind my back

It's after the party. The ballroom is littered and empty. I am naked. My hands are tied behind my back. There is no music. The band is long gone. Yet, still I dance. I dance with a smile.

Random Thoughts

It's okay that I find Sean Penn and Tom Seleck very attractive isn't it? That thought scares me just a little bit. The other night I watched "Mystic River" w/ Sean Penn and fell in love. He didn't have the same effect on me in "Sam I am."
I've always been a big fan of Tom Selecks. Ever since the Magnum PI days. I watched a made for TV movie "Jesse Stone: The Night Passage" and realized that "Magnum" has indeed changed with the times...no more short shorts, but still very attractive to me. How old is he anyways? (Morelli, if you're reading you can stop laughing you mean old bastard.) I am also haunted by the effect that Robert Plant has on me. The younger, tight jeans wearing Robert Plant makes me shiver with excitement.
Come to think of it, I've never been into men (boys) my own age. Not even in Highschool. I thought the boys in Highschool were fake. They just seemed very disrespectful and ignorant. Still do. Pa-Leeze! Then again, having a baby so young kinda makes one grow up fast.
I was having dinner w/ my friend Jen the other night and she said the waiter was checking me out. Um, I didn't even notice. He was what, like 16? For real...
Even most of my girlfriends are older than me. I don't notice it. I wonder if they see the gap?
When I was in second grade I was dearly in love with an eighth grader named Nathan and w/ Michael Jackson. Now that's a troubling thought.
I'm left to conclude that I was indeed born a decade too late. That would explain why I love black & white movies. Indeed, that would explain a lot of things.

Another troubling thought is that I'm actually considering putting my profile on a singles site. I'm kinda fearful, but it could also be kinda fun. I know people who have met their spouses on-line. I've met some of the greatest people I know on-line. I don't know where I would be without the Yakkies today if it wasn't for the internet. And I'm obviously not going to meet anyone in a bar. Especially the bars/clubs I frequent. Going to a bar/club is more for my enjoyment than to meet someone. And seriously, it's not like I'm going to meet someone doing laundry on the weekends. (Note to self: Start going to laundromat.) Or working in this dungeon (Morelli, I said stop laughing). Is posting a profile on the internet considered desperate? Cause I'm not that desperate. I'm just available and very new to this whole "dating" catastrophe. I mean seriously, it's not like I'm not already "on the internet." I mean I do have a blog don't I. It's basically the same thing right? Forming relationships with people you've never met. I talked a friend of mine into going to one of those speed dating things with me. All the upcoming events are booked (must be popular), but she said she would do it with me in the future. All I can think about are the scenes from "The 40 yr Old Virgin." Am I seriously considering that? Am I just asking for trouble or am I asking for fun and new adventures? It perplexes me.

I'm also troubled by the fact that I can't seem to read lately. I now have three books that have been read about a chapter in and I just can't seem to focus and stay interested. I've always been an avid reader, so why can't I seem to do it now? Maybe I just haven't found the right book. The last book I read was "Envy." That was a good one. Maybe I'm just having trouble finding one of the same caliber. I've been more into movies lately. I find it weird though that a film like "The Constant Gardener" can hold my attention, but a book can't. Doesn't make any sense.

I'm considering getting a "Foot Bath." A couple of friends of mine had a foot bath done. From what I understand it's sort of a cleansing ritual. A sort of "mapping" of the body. You stick your feet into a tub of water and are hooked up to a computer that sends some sort of messages thru your systems and cleanses. And hence, lets you know where your body needs a little extra attention. My one friends water turned black. Hmmm. Intriguing. Maybe I'll try it. It's fairly inexpensive...but seriously COME ON.

This coming weekend is haunting me. It's my weekend without the kids. Bummer. Three whole blocks on the calendar without anything written in them. Finding things to fill my empty spaces is sometimes challenging. Honestly, if I had my own place it wouldn't be such a big deal. In your own home, you can find things to do. I do have to get my oil changed. There's 20 minutes booked. Maybe I'll take a road trip. Stay over night somewhere I've never been. Why not? I can. Maybe I'll just start driving on Friday and see where I end up on Saturday. I've never been that spontaneous. Hmmm.

I read a quote the other day that stuck. I read it on someones blog, but now I can't remember where. Anyways...
"Like Linus when his blanket is in the dryer."
That's what I feel like. No security. Just waiting for something to happen. Can't do anything about it. Totally out of my comfort zone.
That pretty well sums it up. I've never had this feeling before. I've always had things happening. Always into something. Always secure.
This isn't necessarily a bad feeling...just different. I don't particularly like it, but I'm an optimist, I'll survive.

And those, my friends, are my random thoughts.

Dude. You and I are so cut from the same cloth, separated from birth. People have ALWAYS told me I was born at least a decade too late and I've always been attracted to older guys.

And, since you admitted your Sean Penn/Tom Sellack (sp?)/Michael Jackson thing...for some insane reason I think Billy Bob Thornton is attractive, and that guy (the dad) on that Discovery building motorcycles show.

Yeah, twisted. At least I didn't admit the Michael Jackson thing out loud. LOL I'm KIDDING.

What I wouldn't do for three blank blocks. Wish you and I lived closer - you'd have those blocks filled quick. I'm thinking massage therapists with british accents...

::sigh!!::

Someday!!

If you go driving, make sure you have your cell phone with you, young lady! Make sure it's charged, too!

(Heh, heh, heh.)

For what it's worth, no. I never hunch over wine glasses with you and think Gee, she's only 28, what the frell do we have in common? Nope. Neva. Once everyone's age 25 or older, numbers kind of cease to matter as the personality takes over. And there, my dear, you excel.

Speed dating? Holy crap! Interesting. Be sure you blog about whenever you two go. I want deeeetails.
