A Friend is a wish your heart makes
I’ve been thinking lately–and we all know that ain’t no good when Paisano thinks—and I believe that you can indeed love a friend as much as, if not more than, a relative. We all know that we don’t pick our relatives, but we do select our friends. We decide whether or not to keep someone…
Memorial Day
I hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day weekend. I know I did, but it always makes me think about the whole purpose behind this holiday. We’re supposed to remember all those men that died while protecting their country and our freedom. While I am against war and violence, I do have a deep respect…
Work
I am feeling rather good these days because I just had my formal review at work and I was shown a great deal of respect, admiration and most importantly, appreciation by the owner of the company. However, when I sit back and think about it, I know deep in my heart that I don’t want…
Monday Morning Blues
What does Monday get such a bad rap? I mean, you never hear anyone say, “Thank God it’s Monday!” Well, maybe if they’re in a straight jacket, sure, but not normally. I know that Monday is no different than Friday, but still, it just feels so crappy. It’s the first day of another long work…
Dreams and Nightmares
Watching that movie 61* has got me thinking about my goal and purpose in life. Why am I here and what will be my lasting legacy? Life gets so hectic and busy that we lose track of our dreams and wind up spinning our wheels and wasting precious time on things or people that don’t…
Friends or Lovers?
Here’s a common dilemma. Is it smart to jeopardize a great friendship for possibly one night of passion? Would you take the chance of destroying a special friendship by becoming lovers? It’s not as much of a slam dunk as most people think it is. Usually, if it’s that easy a decision, it is because…
Men and Baseball
I just watched an incredibly moving movie called 61* on HBO made by Billy Crystal. It was about baseball and my sports idol, Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris. I was moved to tears several times. It was wonderful. You women probably always wonder what the heck is it about the game of baseball that makes…
Sex vs Love
Which would you prefer….Great Sex with mediocre emotional involvement or a Great Love Affair with mediocre sex? Some say that your love is only as strong as your sex life is…. but we all know that you can have jaw-clenching, fist-pounding, profanity-laden sex with someone you wouldn’t even want to share lunch with! Just a…
Happy Mother’s Day
I hope everyone made their mother feel special yesterday. I like the whole idea of Mother’s Day, but to be quite honest with you, I think every day should be Mother’s Day. We should make sure that we tell our mom how much we love them and do all we can to show it. You’ve…
