Well, today is a pretty good day, I can't say "good" because 1) the days not over yet and 2) yesterday was a "good" and there's some rule about having two "good" days in a row.

(just to let you know, I had already typed something up, punched the publish buttom, but, lo and behold...blogger was under a "temporary maintenance" or some jabber like that, so I'm trying to retype it 2 1/2 hours after the fact. I had a meeting for work.)

((side-side note: "jabber" is a neat word))

cont.
You know when you haven't seen a person for a long time and when together you most always had a really good time, but now you're not sure whether you can maintain the same level of friendship. You want to fire the relationship up again, but your out of tinder and it just rained. Well, that was me yesterday.

So, there's this girl...("a-ho!" an a "woot-woot!", comes from the self-satisfying crowd). First though, a little about me:

I'm 5'9"

150 lb when I skip breakfast and don't eat anything for a week an a 1/2

greenish-brownish-yellowish-ish eye/s

with a Romantic locked in my coin pocket

A professor once told me that two things come onto a guys mind when he first meets a person: 1) can I mate with them and 2) I can't remember this one.

This is basically true for me, but to take it a step further, I convince myslef that I am willing to make any sacrifices for that person whom I think I "love". This "love" though is often confused with another type of love, "friendship". I want to jump the gun, but the simple truth is, I would probably shoot myself! I am finding that I am inept (to put it more charitably, "inexperienced") at most relations. But, I'm improving (a pat, not too hard! though, on the back, a look of deep understanding and apathy (hate that word by the way) in your eyes but soon to look away, ground or feet.).

I done with that discussion, and I don't think I want to write about the girl right now. Still in a fluid mode, no real solid base. Time will tell.

Also, I am almost done with Lost in the Cosmos and I must say, IT NEEDS AN INDEX!!! The book is a marvel. It is really going to be a great joy to read through parts of the book years from now. And it is incredibly diverse, or I shoudl say Walker Pecy is. To cover all of the topics he does, I don't even know all of them, is just amazing. It is a treasure. Such great insights into human behaviour and I know that there are so many times his visuals will pop into my mind during really odd times. So if you see me staring out at something and snickering for no aparent reason it is probably because of him, or my own bent humor, either one.

I am now officially rambling.

Doug,

a) as you can see I copying people ideas, the listing thing
b) "If I die today please tell my wife I said, 'hello'." - roommate just quoting Futurama. He's interrupting me, sorry
c) I know I read a part in Lost/Cosmos about looking into another's eyes, but I can't find it (it's disappeared). If you or someone else knows, please tell me where it is.
d) Related to that, does Percy's write about transcendence as a result of self's engaging each other.
e) How does Percy define Immenance?, that which follows re-entry. Or does one ever fully re-enter and land? Are we continually in limbo, at various stages? Where the hell do you land? When did I take off?
f) What do you, or others, recommend I read next. By Percy or another. Remember I have a maliable mind and are prone to fits of artistic depression. So, please be kind.
