Trying to remember what's important

Thanks to my friend Daniel, for these wise wise words.....

Cause greatness can never be stopped
And music fills the soul of everyone
Never let anyone or anything come in your way
Do not be discouraged by naysayers or bitches!
Anyone who is on the same path should be most treasured
Cause without wonderful music in our lives
Everyday would just be so meaningless.

I'm looking for myself again....because I've lost my voice.  I sing from the heart and out of love....but my heart was broken.  So what's a girl to do?....Sing for the love of music.

Cure for a broken heart? Loving myself. 

What is love? Baby don't hurt me.

Evidence is gathering against the male species, at least those who take part in the practise of online dating...

I received a message from a stranger (and they're all strangers of course) saying "I love you"...um, based on 3 pictures and my dating profile that says "honesty is key, I've been burned too many times by cheaters and liars", this guy is going to start with "I love you"?!

I'm really starting to feel like my views on love may no longer be relevant.  The words seem to come so easily to people these days.  There seems to be fewer and fewer people who take care with what they say.  For me, "I love you" means forever.  Unless I'm sure I'm ready to dedicate that piece of my heart to someone for the rest of my life, I will not say it.  Although relationships have come and gone, if I have said "I love you" to a person, that piece of my heart belongs to them.

Question is, what happens when you've given your entire heart?

The experiment continues...

I feel like I should be starting a series of blogs about my nonline dating....I'm not interested in finding someone new at all...but I do want to understand men and the way they think and why the hell they say and do the things they do.  Maybe this is a good way to do it!? Doubtful....still, I received a chat request from someone who was very upfront about his situation.  He is "in a relationship but for some reason I'm looking for something on the side.  I don't know why. I know that sounds horrible"....WHY?! Why would a person do something they know is horrible, something they know is hurtful?  Sounds familiar, unfortunately.  I feel like being faithful in a relationship is a matter of respect.  Even in a friendship.  I would never make a plan with one friend, try to make a plan with another friend, then lie to the first friend about it....Is this a man thing? Or just a liar, cheat and a coward thing?

The social experiment

So, under recommendation and out of curiosity, I joined an online dating site.  I thought it would be a really interesting social experiment...Here's what I learned....

a. I'm definitely not ready to date (but I knew that already)
b. I'm not an ugly person
c. There are A LOT of men out there who want to get to know me, more than I can meet and many of them are ridiculously good looking....that being said
d. Physical attraction is definitely not my thing....no matter how handsome they are, I just can't like someone I don't know...

So I'm thinking maybe online dating isn't really going to be for me.  Well, who knows...what's your experience like?
