I love this guy.

whipple with …

I totally failed this collective bargaining class, which was suppose to be management and labor relations. When i say i failed i got below a B. Mind you, at the time i had been laid off by BOA for making to much money, and the management really didn’t have the fortitude to promote me.

A marketing teacher asked me in 2003 after i moved back from Colorado why i was there, and i told him the direct answer to his direct question. It’s the cheapest way to transfer my debt to a lower fixed rate.

Knowing this, Whipple totally puts himself on the line for me and takes me to Germany. The trip cashed out my savings…four k, and i didn’t get financial aid because i wasn’t going full time - due to the C, i was down graded in the department of graduate studies.

So we are in Germany, Heidenhiem was awesome, totally cool.
But two feet of snow kept us in Cleveland for an extra day or so. So we only got one day in Heidenhiem and we made something of it. Carl Zeiss Optics, great place, they gave us some optics to play with…

We leave Heidenhiem and go to Berlin, I am scared. I dont scare easily. It was something in the air. The guy at the door of the club had barb wire tattooed on his face. Once i was inside, it was sex on the walls, and they danced all french which was amusing for me. The Germans in Berlin aren’t Munchens thats for sure.

looking for …

To make a long story short, Siemens was Wharton, thank you Whipple, Smart Car Mercedes, three course meal and all. The company was fashion similar to shanghai (does anyone know how to pronounce shanghai or beijing)

It is better to risk saving a guilty man than to condemn an innocent one.

I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short on: “O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.” And God granted it. –Voltaire

Alright, Love in the time of Cholera comes out in another week and a bit.  I most likely will see it.  The book caused this terrible longing which wouldnt go away, perpetual, i actually realized that i felt comfortable in its overwhelming blanket.  Comfortable longing, no risk of loss.

Looking back at the four main characters well five.
You got the buddy, the Woman he loves, her dad and the doctor she marries.
The buddy wants to be with the Woman
Her dad says no and takes her away.
The Woman keeps up with the buddy.
Then she sees the buddy, wosh- slip away
Then a similarity to midnights children except without the sheet
The doctor attends the woman
Likes what he finds
the Womans’ dad works his magic again only in the opposite way he did with the simple buddy.
She says hell no, then they finally go
The buddy miserable as can be
Sleeps with all the women outside of his brothel
for a long time.
The doctor and Woman come back from Europe with babies.
happy as can be
doc sleeps meets this woman he cant pass up.
so he goes for it
Woman goes to visit family
doc brings her home
The End
The buddy did get a mirror as a consolation.

The moral of the story is that if you keep your gaze of love set on one who passes up your chance, you gain a perpetual sweater of longing.  You find yourself attempting to replace the sweater with the comfort of woman after woman however none will ever be as snug.

So lets be daring and say two people can be made for each other.  Their quality of life increases and they become better individuals through one anothers company.  They both have complete faith, respect, attraction, intimacy with one another.

At some point its a pure numbers game. If you think of all the souls in the world,  two souls finding each other and matching up is very good probability.  The quality of that match, well thats another story.  Now at a certain level souls have a much higher selectivity.  Lessons dont need to be revisited, previous mistakes have been changed.  Karmic Debt paid, The realization that we made the choice to experience this experience.  Sartre is probably happy if he is reading this.  So we play this match game.

Different Levels,

The match game
Attraction - Sexual, fluidity, grace, physical health
Respect - forthright, intellect, flexible, motivation
Social - hobbies, friends, sports, animals, places
Intimacy - Ability to cross lines, break social mores
Financial - Stability, Ability and Growth Potential
Faith - Open, Common belief system/practices

At least its more sophisticated than playing war, more like go fish.

Yun-Men

I keep reading this again and again, not sure why.  Maybe it is the idea of reincarnation within eternity or the essence of individuality.

“Brothers, time waits for no man.  If you shoud get fatally sick before you realize the truth, what would you do?  Wouldnt you be like a crab that has fallen into boiling water, its legs flailing in confusion and pain?  So dont waste your time. Life is precious, if you miss this chance, it may take a billion eons before you recieve a human body again.  If even a worldly man like confucius said, “he who realizes the Tao in the morning can die content in the evening,” How much more effort should we monks put into this matter! Please do your best, and take good care of yourselves.”

I read this book i picked up monday, columbus day.  Page 220, when tDr. Juvenal Urbino and his wife move back from Paris they sell their home. “the noble palace of Marquis de Casalduero, whose existence and coat of arms had never been documented, was sold to the municipal treasury for a decent price, then resold for a fortune to the central government when a Dutch researcher began excavations to prove the real grave of Christopher Columbus was located there: the fifth one so far.”

Well you, war born hero’s that tattoo your arms with never forget 9/11.  How soon you forget pearl harbor with your sony walkman.  Its to bad the middle east doesnt produce such things that i could boycott.

I can find solace knowing that the Chinese named japan, riben, where the sun rises.  Yes, the Japanese, land of the rising sun.  Named by the Chinese, where they also received much of their culture.  The birth of nationalism was a fight for intellectual property rights.  The Japanese culture has forgotten the dirt which with the seed was sprout.

Alright, i do recognize that fact that in the western hemisphere we exaggerate our differences while eastern countries exaggerate their commonalities.

If i wasn’t completely serious i would think that this is extremely funny.

you say hello, i say hello,
hell no goodbye, you say hello
i say hello, hello, hello
you say hello, i say goodbye
= probably not

This i will never forget, you probably already have heard.
I was smiling into a ladies eyes at OH. U.
and she had the bluest of blue eyes
She replied are you laughing at me because i am short.

I was sharing a sofa, this guy gave conversation
I engaged, and when i left i shook his hand.
Not till that moment did i feel regret for the time spent together. Creepy

The moral of the story:   I got a hair cut
