Men are From Mars.....Women are from Venus

No, I didn't break down and buy the book to read about the differences between men and women and how to bridge the gap, but maybe I need to. It seems like my conversations with the opposite sex have a huge disconnect going on. None of the words permeate the barrier that lies between me and the he's. It really kinda stinks because I'm ending up spending all of my time either apologizing for one thing or another or just not talking. It's CRAP. Maybe there's something going on with the whole pull of the full moon that's going to happen tomorrow or something. I honestly don't know, but if the planets can orbit around the same sun surely they can interact together at one point or another. Even if it's just a passing wave as their orbiting the same point. Who knows...reminds me of an old saying from Astroworld..."Stoned is the way of the walk, sparkle, sparkle." Ya...very "star wars-ish" makes me think I should just give into the force and let life go on.

Serenity Now...

I'm not sure I actually remember where the saying came from, but I remember someone screaming it on some t.v. sitcom. "Serenity now, Serenity now!!!" Today, after working a 16 hour shift, which wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, I went to the gym for a swim. It was rough going since I haven't actually been working out for that long but I made it. As a reward I allowed myself 10 minutes of indulgence in the hot tub. During my stint in the hot tub I couldn't help but stare at the "foam" from the bubbling up of the water. It was then that I was taken back to being on the cruise in May with all the "foam" trailing behind the boat from the motors. It was a great rememberance and a little bit of "serenity" from the madness that is everyday life. Here's the picture of the "foam."
