Today's musical recommendation -> "What's Left of
Me" by Nick Lachey
What can I say; my iPod has a lot to choose from :)

December 7/11 - The Peanuts still rock!!
I grew up reading Dr. Seuss and Charles M. Schulz and have
to say that no other authors had a greater influence on me than these two
gentlemen.
"Wacky Wednesday", "Cat in the Hat", and
"Green Eggs & Ham" were my favourite Dr. Seuss books and luckily
for me both my kids enjoyed them. They show one that being willing to think
outside the box can lead to some pretty exciting times and should be a life
lesson for every person who read them.
The entire cast from Charlie Brown can teach us about life
and the trial and tribulations we'll all face over the course of our lives when
it comes to dating and love.....
Sally Brown's unrequited love for Linus should be a lesson
in perseverance for all of us.....might not end as she'd like but you've got to
admire her for standing her ground and going after who she wanted :)
Lucy Van Pelt’s determination to win over Schroeder and not
giving a damn that he never really responds to her attempts has to be something
to bet on..........someday he'll look up from the keyboard and see the woman in
front of him but until that time we can only sit back and enjoy the fireworks
Now how about the dynamics between our hero Charlie Brown
and Lucy. What is really going on between them that he constantly trusts her to
hold that football while he tries to kick it? What has he done behind the
scenes to warrant her pulling it away at the last moment every single time?
I think the whole thing is very much like dating.......we
keep trusting that the very next person we come across who makes us smile might
just be the one.....we initiate something with a flirty message, or possibly a
lame one if I'm the one sending it lol, and escalate to chatting via
email/texts, and finally if everything works out like we hope, we do the
impossible and meet for a drink.........and then the crap shoot starts as that
is the point where chemistry either kicks in and releases pheromones that cause
us to like the other person or not and we than strive like crazy to extricate
ourselves from the situation.......
But even though we might fail over and over we always keep
an open mind to the possibility......much like Charlie Brown trusts Lucy to
hold the football for him......
I guess in many ways I'm like Charlie Brown when it comes to
dating......I've had more than my share of footballs yanked away at the last moment
but still prefer to see the opportunities than give up......I mean isn't the
glass really half full more than half empty????
Now what blog about Charlie Brown would be complete if there
wasn't some mention of the primary hero...Snoopy
Snoopy shows us that when we don't limit our imagination we
can achieve anything........how else can you explain the brave fighter pilot
who scurries through the French countryside after being shot down by the Red
Baron yet taking the time to stop at a quant bistro for some wine and to chat
up the cute waitress - confidence abounds in that beagle.....
