The heart is a funny thing .. some can have theirs broken by others that are cruel and calculating and a lot have had their fair share of being strung along. There is one particular type of email that I loathe more than others.. that is the formatted/template cookie cutter introduction of interest that is prosed and postulated so heart-felt wise that it brings tears and bumps to the heart of anyone longing for a relationship like that.
Granted, I am here hoping to find someone that would share what is left of life with me.. but, I am fiercely independent and, get this, happy for the largest part of what my life is like now. I have been working at the same place for over 23 years, have a modest home (almost completely mine, not shared with the bank.. LOL) .. the land that I have been working on is starting to look so pretty, and I have good friends and family that I adore who I believe love me back.. so hence my search.
However, I truly dislike a lot of things in this world...
1. Liver
2. Rap music
3. Narcissists
4. People that come off as holier-than-thou who are anything but...
etc., etc ., etc... the list would bore the crap outta most of you.. so I will cut to the chase and give you my number 1 pet peeve with these internet dating sites... disgenuine people who are good at wordsmithing and use that ability to put their foot in the door of a heart that is lonely.
There have been those here that have emailed me with interest and I have responded in same, but not as lavishly as they. We have exchanged a few emails and then the disappearing act. It is frustrating when one does not have the caljones to just simply TELL THE TRUTH WITH COMPASSION. A simple email back saying that you have found someone that strummed a chord that you found irrestible would be so much more polite than just ignoring or stopping communication all together.. but then again, it speaks volumes of the character.
The topic I speak of at this time is those that write emails that are custom tailored to be sent to tens/hundreds of people at the same time. It bothers me that one does not take the time to at least interject something they could have gleaned off the profile into that template of an introductory email.. and if the email is even more eloquent with words of how lovely it would be.. I fail to understand the reasoning behind such... for example.. here is one sent recently (and I did try to reply directly, but the email address had a permanent error.. go figure!):
Despite all its beauty like the blue of the sky and the colors of rainbow, this world gives us a vague idea about loving life. I am tired of trying to go into a relationship with an open mind and open heart I have so much to offer and so much love to give... This is what I use to dream...call me a Freak- But...this is waht I seek....my destiny knitted with your existance..my fate entwinded with you. With you by my side...this is just me.....sometimes...a winner is a dreamer who never gave up!Often in life U see many good looking people~some Ur physically attracted by, others U just appreciate their beauty. On this special occasion I saw him~HE struct me w/his intellect, his lips & smile~I know until we meet… face to face…I couldn’t touch your face or kiss your lips…I couldn’t even hold your hand…all we could right now is type words across a screen...but, I believe in all things- I have overcome many obstacles in life wich made me the strong individual today. I have preserved all my experiences and with it I have lived, acknowledged wisdom and learned and I have never intentionally done on to others as it has been done unto me. I hope it is you that can obtain the key to my heart and in the future I will be blessed to have the love in which I capable of giving back to you……My heart is pounding with fear and excitement!
please contact me I am not blogging about this as just my complaint, but to perhaps suggest to all that do this that it is neither flattering or endearing to either gender.. unless of course, you count your conquests by perhaps touching someone that is vulnerable to such because of a devastating experience recently.
Thank you for reading this and maybe being open to the helpful suggestion of trying to be a little more genuine and personal with emails.
for gramps: Top 10 George Carlin Quotes
1. “Something is wrong here: War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed. Results like these do not belong on the resume of a supreme being. This is the kinda (expletive) you’d expect from an office temp with a bad attitude.”
2. “I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me – they’re cramming for their final exam.”
3. “Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?”
4. “Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they?”
5. “I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, “Where’s the self-help section?” She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.”
6. “Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them?”
7. “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
8. “How come when it’s us it’s ‘an abortion,’ but when it’s a chicken it’s an omelet?”
9. “The best thing about getting old is you’re not responsible for remembering things anymore. Even important things. ‘But it was your daughter’s funeral.’ ‘I forgot!’ You can even make believe you have Alzheimer’s disease. It’s a lot of fun. You can look around the dining room table and say, ‘Who are you people and where is my horse?’
10. “Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man… living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money.”
