Dreams
I can't dream....
I woke up in the middle of the night and I couldn't breathe. So hard to breathe. My chest hurts.
I can't dream...
In my conscious state, I can't smile.
I can't dream...
I am lost and gone.
I can't dream...

The Matters of the Heart
The crazy interactions that concern a man and woman are by far the most intimate but also most perplexing of human behaviors.
I have recently coined a term to describe my dating situation: The most unavailable available men
So what does that mean?
To give you some context, I was recently at a club having a "girls night out". In the glitz and shining strobe lights, hypnotized by the beating bass, it was a breeding ground for having a couple of stiff drinks and scoping out the flirting scene. As my girlfriends and I aggressively walked to the bar, there was a hip, yet rugged guy across the bar that caught my eye. We exchanged smiles, and couldn't stop glancing in each other direction. After I downed my shot of patron silver in the most lady like fashion I motioned him to follow me to the "smoking area" (which was right around the corner from the bar). There, we meet. He threw down a really lame pick up line and I retaliated with a flirty coy smile. I brushed off the lame line due to the blinding effect alcohol can have on your senses. After several minutes of witty, flirty banter, I snapped the following line, "You are the most unavailabe available guy...aren't you?" For a moment, it felt like the club and all the people in it came to a grinding halt. As if time stopped for a hot second after I uttered that phrase.
I had to quickly assemble a come back line and explain.....the unavailable available phrase.
For me the idea came from the observation of people who are emotionally removed from engaging in any intimate relationships. When I speak about intimate relationships, it is everything excluding the physical aspect. This person can't provide the time to connect on a emotional and spiritual level. So this person is claiming their single status outloud, but once you dig deeper they are more unavailable.
It can also pertain to individuals who have walled or guarded themselves to others. Although on the outside all seems so fresh and warm, this person cannot disclose their true self to another because of fear or doubt. Although on the outside all seems so fresh and warm, this person cannot disclose their true self to another because of fear or doubt.
The unavailable avaiable guys seem to haunt me. Its like a curse of some sort. I am attracted to intelligence, confidence, and perspectives, but that shouldn't exclude vulnerability. Given the right relationship, I will not be afraid. I am willing to be open and show vulnerability. I think it is important to move forward to let your guard down. Until then....
So you ask what happened at the club..? Just what I expected more unavailable than available...

If it couldn't get any worse....
I'm so angry at that fact I lost everything....maybe its karma kicking my ass. Nevertheless, I am faced with being laid off from a job I thought was a good opportunity. I worked so hard to build a career, a profession that I know I'm good at. And now I have nothing because our government and its officials can't get it together. This economic crisis has changed everything.
I know that so many people aren't really experiencing it. But everyone better freakin' wake up....
For me and hundreds of other people and their families are suffering from it.
I don't want your sympathy, I don't want your sorries. I want change.
This election is so freakin important. I've never been so eager to vote. This economic crisis has left me my dreams shot down and a slap so hard that I can't find my way back up.
If this is the second coming of the great depression, everyone better hold on to whatever they find important; perhaps its your jobs, your family or your significant other because, frankly, I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel with a republician running the show.
