Bull$h!t Dating Sites >:(

While sipping my cocktail and checking my various dating websites; I can't but help notice how they suck. Why do I have to pay to see who viewed my profile? Why do I have to pay to check my messages? Where does the money go? Unlike my childcare website, you pay for membership fees and access to a gigantic database of babysitters, child care and Au pair information; as well as the ability to view background checks, references, and reviews. However, on dating websites, there aren't STD reports, background checks, or discounts to restaurants (good idea!). So why isn't it a free service like...hmmm, social websites?

In retrospect, trying the whole dating thing sucks. I don't go out, and I easily loose interest in looking...and it's only been a couple of days! Also, I don't know if I have the capabilities of dating a civilian. I have yet to date anyone outside the military. Officially, I have not dated since...'06. Therefore, I'm out the loop. Do I even need a "significant other"? Probably not. I enjoy my weekends, and hanging out with my kids, and I'm just too busy focusing on personal affairs. Unfortunately, it seems that every couple of months or so, I become lonely and need of someone to cuddle with. However, I think that may be fixed with a body pillow. So, here I am hopscotching back to square one. I'm not mad about it, I just really don't care :]

Grim Reality

Non discriminatory, non forgiving and encompassing all, is death. Memento Mori, is the Latin phrase meaning to "Remember your mortality", and can bring a certain perspective to life, and your current frame of mind. As a child, I use to hyperventilate and cry uncontrollably to myself on thoughts of death. It only worsened when I was taught "The Book of Revelations". From then on, my idea was to live a reclusive life, and not involve myself with a familial status (and pray to God, I died before the end of the world). All in hopes to escape the grim reality of death touching loved ones. Perhaps it was then people became oblivious to me. Never had I went in search for friends or relationships, but always allowed whatever to happen non discriminatory. How is my reclusive life going? Single divorcee, enjoying her two weeks of freedom. Since my teenage years, I grew a new perspective on death. When I began ...

Somewhere in the Middle

70 years ago, President Roosevelt delivered his " Day of Infamy " speech, following the attack of Pearl Harbor. 70 years today, you can still visually see the sunken USS Arizona, with the same oil floating in the water, still capturing the bodies of some sailors. About 8 hours west of the Pearl Harbor monument, you will find the Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots, in Japan, and in between you can see the destruction of war. 66 years later you can still see the effects of the atom bombs dropped over Nagasaki and Hiroshima, where about 200,000 people died as a the result of the attack. Prior to the atom bombs, about 200,000 people were killed in the Battle of Okinawa , and about 20,000 died in the Battle of Guam . Caught in the middle, and always in between are people that have no voice in neither decisions, nor the outcome. Just like civilians caught in between war and civil battles; daily, weekly, or monthly, you will find children.....

I Remember...

Sitting at a table near the cook, who was transforming noodles, vegetables, spices and meat into masterpieces of meals, with amazing simplicity. Who we always assumed was his wife, shaped rice with a dish and prepared the meals, while a younger female refilled cups of tea from a water cooler, in which I always poured copiously with liquid sugar. The best restaurant in the world, where you ate, and then left to make room for the patrons waiting outside. The only place in the world, that served the best yakisoba....that still has me salivating 7 years later. The only place that I have been to, where they were constantly packed, but remembered their customers. Driving in early humid mornings, and laughing at twitching sea crab legs sprawled out on the highway. Driving along side the water which was so blue, and smelled of sea life. A world consisting of perfect sunrises and sunsets, atop a place of tranquility and peace. Combining the feel of th...
