Man for the Heart or Man for the Mind?

When the time comes for a woman to choose her man, she gets all kinds of advice from relatives & friends. Here are some I’ve heard:
  • The chances of a marriage succeeding are fifty fifty, so make sure you choose a wealthy man. That way even if you were among the unlucky fifty you would be financially comfortable. Relative. Hmm.
  • Choosing a man who loves you is more important than choosing a man you love. Friend. Come again!!
  • Just follow your heart. Relative & friend. If the heart was such a good leader we wouldn’t need our brains now would we.
  • He has to have an education. Relative. Can’t say I disagree with that one.
  • Choose a man who is “free” that way you can do whatever you want. Friend. Bleh :\ in other words bla bla.
  • Choose a man who is older, he’ll spoil you. Friend. Another bleh :\
  • He has to be older, wiser & well established. Relative. Hmm.

So there you have it, all kinds of advice. Some good, some contradictive, and some just plain Stupid. So what’s a girl to do? Should she really follow her heart? But they say love is blind, is it smart to step into something like that with your eyes closed? I don’t think so. The wealthy man advice makes sense & it certainly wouldn’t hurt if the Right Man is wealthy. But I don’t think I would settle for being among the financially comfortable unlucky fifty. Would you? Choosing a man who loves you! But honey love finds us all sooner or later, what if after ten years of marriage I meet someone and oops!! OMG I’m in love!! What do I do with hubby then!! :\ Besides were talking about The Man here, The Guy. I’m going to be smelling this persons morning breath for the rest of my life. Fellow bloggers it’s a deep rooted belief in my heart that morning breath is something you can NOT tolerate in anyone unless you had some kind of compassion for them. End of that story. Fin. No more said. And a man who is “free”!! pahleeez!Watch the advice you give out ppl. It’s not funny, it’s CoN FuZE iNg. Then again you can always look at it this way. Women have been getting married since the beginning of time & still we don’t know how to answer the question, so I guess it really has no answer. Well, who knows maybe when I’ve already chosen The Man I’ll have my own advice to give out to lil’ol’confused gals :) why!! I think I’ll even post it. (^.^)

What we Want in Life

I was lying in bed just now listening to the soothing sound of the waves on a CD, and with my eyes closed I started imagining I was lying on the beach right that moment on a soft mattress. Mattress on the beach?!! yeah .. oh yeah .. And I thought. I just gotta do that before I die. And I started putting it all together in my mind. I’d get a soft one-person mattress and I’d cover it all over with a huge plastic cover and then cover that with a bed sheet. A light soft blanky, a pillow & am all set ;) what else could you ask for. Right there on the beach, the vast ocean lulling you to sleep. aaaah .. This is definatly one of the things I gotta do before I die. Then I started thinking .. What else have I gotta do before I die! And I found the list was almost endless:

- Watch a sunset in Japan.
- Watch a sun rise in Hawaii.
- Go on one of those arranged 2-week tours in Egypt with European tourists.
- Learn in order Spanish, Italian, French & Farsi.
- Have a baby :P
- Live in Spain till i hate it, if that's possible.
- Live for three months in a wooden cottage by the beach in Pucket.
- Go on a safari in Africa.
- Learn to dance traditional Indian.
- Own an Ocicat, a Ragdoll, a Siamese & a Russian Blue. These are all cat breeds by the way.

These are ten points, and if you asked me tomorrow I’m pretty sure I’d have ten more for you. The point is I realized it's endless. The more you get of life the more you want and isn't that our great test here on earth ?!! Isn’t life supposed to grab you in it's endless delights and keep you asking for more? And, aren’t we supposed to WANT God's approval and god’s blessing instead of life? Isn’t that the test?
So now that I’ve come with my thinking this far I’ve concluded that what I really gotta do before I die is to be a better person, to be more in touch with god and to be as close to his approval as I can get. I’m not saying I won't do any of the other things, I’m just saying that through it all, I’m not going to forget it's all just a stage in a great big theater and I’m not going to forget that endless as life’s pleasures may seem, nothing is endless, all comes to it's timely end. And now I have come to my timely end , it's waaaaaay past my bedtime. You see .. As soon as I got the idea I just had to “gotta” write it down before I slept. So there’s point 11 for yeah ;) G'night.
