peeling the onion (part 2)


I know, you just couldn't get enough onion, so here's some more...


I tend to think in many directions at once and wish I could find someone who understands that such a way of thinking is not always a mental illness as when appears to be ADD can instantly become such intense singular focus that you might prefer me to switch back to scattered thoughts and scanning the horizon...

I suppose that by the time I ponder the best way to introduce myself here I'll have already written so many massive missives that few people will have stuck around to read that hypothetical and illusive best introduction... try the back door if you have time and are interested (the window hasn't been used in so long it may not be functional, but the concept remains and given the right inspiration, I just might get back to building my online house)...

I am still not sure just why I am here... sure, I am lonely and want friends... sure I live to be in love and share life with a partner... but do I believe such relationships can be found online?... even as I firmly believe there is always hope for dreams to come true, I'll check the agnostic box on that question for now...

I am an existential puppy
a enigmatic guppy
an eagle searching for a nest

I am not yippie or yuppie
left behind the silver cuppie
for the heart is what I love best

and I have no expectations
of magic copulations
I don't pretend to know what will be

seems to many want great wealth
I am satisfied with health
and all I want is honesty

but honesty, as Billy said too well, is such a lonely word... and I believe I am still alone in this life because I've yet to meet a human who really wants it all the time in the real flesh and blood world and that is where the real sharing begins for me... I've learned to enjoy the play of life on more superficial and less real levels (a survival skill, I think), but even as I am usually the genuinely happiest person wherever I go, there's a deep longing for more truth, more depth, and more honesty...

insecurity seems to guide most people on to paths walled by fear that lead to isolation and pretense... I am not fearless and far from perfect, but I consciously strive to hide nothing from myself or from anyone who cares to know me... I think any other way is a waste of time...

honesty without harm is true innocence and that is the ideal and the quest I choose for myself in this life... yes, me and Don Quixote, perhaps, but I believe there is no greater power or gift than true love (yes, and large chocolate pills help along the way to finding out)...

my rambles are threaded with references to popular culture, music, films, stories, and anything that I find along the trail as the words coalesce (where's the spellchecker on this thing anyway?)... I think in rhymes and feel in melodies and seek to share a life of harmonies... and yet, I tend to keep both feet on the ground way more than my literary persona might suggest... mostly because I have never intended to fly solo and save my best flights of fancy and deepest realness for the one (all I've ever needed)... I do believe in soulmates and fairy tales and magic moments as two connect and feel as one...

I am not a half seeking another half to make me a whole... I am complete and comfortable within myself... I seek one who knows no need and is therefore free to experience complete desire, to live and die and be reborn again as a pair of complete beings, two dice ready to roll together through life...

of course, sometimes I think I might metaphor a point to death...

luckily I can always find humor (yes in everything too) and laughing at myself is one of my favorite pastimes... as far as I can tell, life is temporary and

we interrupt these seemingly mindless dots for a word from (or at least about our sponsor (hmmm, sponsor?... what's the opposite of sponsor?)... anyway, now, as ado-less as possible, the word for you or andrew)...

you know that box to the right on the dland entry page called recent public entries?... what do the asterisks mean?... and the bold?...
