Self Made Romantic

I'm a romantic that has never been swept off my feet.  One day in the bathroom, I asked myself, "Where does your romanticism come from?"  Immediately, I flashed back to the 3rd grader reading romance novels in the bathroom, in the middle of the night.  I assumed real men like those within the novels existed.  But now at 30, I realize that they were made up.  Which explained the romance novel boom around that time.  It was like a brochure.  Are you not happy in love?  Read and escape to a fantasy world that will never amount to what you may encounter!  It's like hitting the lottery.  However, I'm so damn optimistic that I believe in it, still.

Perhaps my love may not happen like the romance novels, but I think it can be found in everyday occurrences.  Sure I can't give my love away, the way I want; but I have learned how to spread it around evenly to those I meet.  My children of course receive the most, and I nurture them to the point of suffocation, but it seems that at the end of the day, I understand how they want to be held while they sleep.  One day, I'll have that again.  In the meantime, I will commence to silently shower my over abundance of love to whomever enters my path.

    Romance is the pleasurable feeling of excitement and mystery associated with love. In the context of romantic love relationships, romance usually implies an expression of one's love, or one's deep emotional desires to connect with another person. Wiki Definition

    We all want romance/love. The obstacle we face is who do we allow to romance/love us, but more importantly, who do we allow ourselves to romance/love.

    Romance definitely exist...

There are some days where I look at my children, and wonder what will become of their life.  After that, I think of ways to help prepare them for situations, that they should be able to control.  For instance, I remember getting in trouble in school because I was offended and arguing with kids about "your momma" jokes.  At that time, I was probably in the first grade, but I remember arguing my case to my mom, on how the kids were talking about her.  What she said, is something that changed my life; which was, "Nicole, they don't know me".  Instantly I understood, and had nothing else to say.  Lessons such as those, are currently work in progress within our household...and will be for a while. In fact, isn't it amazing how some people have no idea of who you are, and yet want to pass judgement on your beliefs, way of life, or moral character.  It's because of that, I look at my children, and wonder about all the things I love about them, and...

Hoopla Over Real Life Situations

America at times reminds me of a bipolar teenager.  Current idiocy is the bickering over a video, from which an incident occurred, causing a bad reaction, by a remorseful person.  When I first heard Rihanna's "Man Down", I couldn't help but "listen" to the lyrics, and notice how powerful the song is.  In fact, I was interested to see how the video would be made, to convey the words to the song.  When I finally watched it, I though it was a great video that detailed the day of a bright haired young lady in Jamaica, and the life changing events that follow. The video wasn't masochistic, or showcasing a good life induced with drugs and alcohol, or bragging about riches soon to be depleted.  No, this video was about a reaction to an assault.  Of all the things going on in our nation, this is what some parents chose to choose a fight with...not to mention it's on an entertainment channel, on a cable network.  The same people who probably frown upon a...

Ewww, that's just gross!

Every morning on my way to work, I pass by a dog park.  Within the area itself, everyone is very active with running, walking, and chatting with other dog owners as their pups played...just their way of beginning their day.  Flash forward to three/four hours later, and the dog park is transformed to a kiddie playground.  Not big kids, but babies and toddlers.  Am I the only one grossed out about this? Just this weekend, I wanted to rant as to why I should not have to pick up doggie poo (I do not own a dog for this very reason), and here in front of me are two worlds colliding.  I wonder if the stay at homes moms, nannies and au pairs know of the transformation.  Is that even sanitary?  I'd like to see the area's hand foot and mouth disease statistics, I hope they aren't staggering.  Is the community as a whole okay with this?  Why not build a playground area for the kids?  Of course I'm disturbed, because I know that not all of the own...
