Computer love

Have you ever wondered where true love is? Well according to my cousins it is online at E-harmony or relationships.com. Supposedly both (who are sisters) have boyfriends that they found on line, nice boys whom they are pretty serious with. It has even become a contest for other couples who have used both sites as to which of my fair cousins will wed first, will it be Julia (competitor for e-harmony) or Lisa (competitor for relationships.com).

All that love has re-sparked my interest in trying out the computer online dating thing again. I say again because at one time I too had tried this avenue at Christian cafe.com. Unfortunately it seems that all the special needs people of the world (and lower mainland) were trying to find their mate in me. Between being the "sun to his moon" (ya a wee bit cultish and weird) to the ESL "you pretty, we marry" (Yah no, sorry Pedro but one e-mail does not constitute mail order bride). I even went out with one such person to find out he was out to "save" me from my insecurities...sorry I don't sleep with people on the first date and you licking my ear is definitely not sexy..drooly but not sexy!

Soooooo I have to say I am still in the thinking about it process...I have a different cousin who already has married her on line sweetheart. I guess its all down to taking a chance, trusting in God and making sure you prepare yourself for the weird adventures that may follow.

Baby's got back

Howdy all. Been awhile since I last blogged but life seemed a tad bit dull at the time. And then...

Imagine a place between cows and pastures, near highway 1 filled with water and bustling with people. You hear music and see a multitude of woman and men waving their arms and moving in time to music following the call of one person standing at the front when...there is a flash of white and not just any white, I am talking white man white. Yes he ambles out of the change room perusing his domain and looking for a place to drop off his bag. He turns and you are arrested by the sight of twin globes staring at you in all their glory. Woman twitter, men look away and children run at the sight. Said individual puts down his bag, turns around and stands as a king surveying his land, feet apart, hands on hips, ready to walk his mighty self to the hot tub, when he spies another of his comrades gesturing frantically at his middle section. What pray tell could be the matter? He looks down and realizes that breezy, happy go lucky feeling was the real thing...he has no shorts on. Grabbing his nether parts and running into the change room the crowd is only left with a sight of twin moons running. Is it over you ask? OH NO, Mr. I forgot to put on my shorts also forgot his bag on the pool deck and has to return 2 minutes later in all his glory to get it back.

Poor soul. Did he not think to ask or pay a young individual to retrieve his bag..nope he takes the hard road of utter humiliation to become clothed. Have I seen him again, not yet but one never knows who will appear at the Landing.
