Re: The Terror and Tedium of Living Like Thoreau

This was the best kind of vignette. It was something that maybe some or most can't identify with, yet it was authentic. Thank you for sharing; this glimpse was a slice of life that, chosen or not, agreed with or not, is still something most people will never experience. For that, it was worth reading, to me.

Umm...don't you mean John Richards? :)

Well...nothing else for now. :) You'll be in my thoughts, hopes and dreams daily. Dream deep and live brightly my friend!

I'm so glad we both have this space. Thank you for sharing...your words helped me to share in your excitement and happiness, even if after the fact. I'm rooting for you, always. <3

Your words on peace, give me peace also. After this, I really will try to allow us the space we've both agreed is needed and fair. You are not alone in the renewed confusion and pain these past few days have brought...yet that pain is starting to feel healthy and cathartic, I can see that now. I want to reiterate that, in my mind, this is not goodbye, but rather good luck. Good luck to us both, that we may continue to explore the new paths we are on, to heal and to achieve the dreams of which we are more than capable. I know not when we will next see each other, and it makes me really sad to think that...yet I take comfort in knowing that there absolutely will be a next time.

So, with that idea in mind, as you mourn and reflect and grow and heal, don't forget about me, and the hope we shared (and in a different way now, still do). To say anything more would be a betrayal to the path I am now on, and know that I am meant to be on. And there is no other reality right now, other than that. I really think that this is on purpose, and that the Universe is giving is the time and space to really reflect and heal now. If circumstances were different, it might end up being rushed and detrimental to that healing.

Finally, I want you to know that even though I am confident in all that I've said and just now typed, this is an emotional, heart-strings pulling situation for me. Even though I know it's right, all I want to do is sleep in and ignore things. But I can't do that, I have work to do, both as a professional teacher and on myself, and I know you do too. I wholeheartedly look forward to the day we reconnect and catch up and laugh and smile back at what we've learned. Until then, please know that I will think of you often and hope that when I'm looking up at that beautiful moon, you are, too.

Re: Ok…it’s really going to be ok now

It really will be ok. So strange that it's now that we arrive at this point...but honestly, I think from what you've been saying and what you say above, this really needs to be your time to find your true self and let it shine. And thank you for those words from Swimme. They apply to us, and also to humanity's emerging viewpoint on how to interact with the world. I would rather hope, and assume that it's never too late, rather than live in despair. Though I know we will still be in touch over time, I also think it will be good to let you go through this, at least for a little while, on your own, to make sure it's authentic, thorough and complete.

I need to respect that, truly, for you, for Jeni and for me. <3

I remember that, too, so clearly. Dancing in the back room. :)

Wow, really eloquent reaction. Way to completely miss the point of this whole situation. Pro sports leagues are responsible for portraying a positive public image. Whether homophobic people like agree or not, they have to consider the opinions of their fans...without which they would not make any money. Look at any of the teams in the NFL that have ended up failing and closing shop, moving to another city or simply fading into existence. Why? Because they lost their fan base, and no one cared.

Not sure where you got your sources, but I just ordered the Pre through Sprint.com, including no activation fee and free overnight shipping.

Unfortunately, the problem with Gamestop is the pricing structure. It's the same problem that many record stores have faced, and the source of that problem is the same: big box stores. With the money they have for marketing blitz campaigns and the ability to include extra incentives, it's no wonder that the vast majority of high-profile games are bought and sold at places like Best Buy, Target and Walmart. Gamestop does not help itself by charging such high prices for its used games either.
