Apologies

For those of you who think I can actually understand anything written by the genius in the last posting please believe me, I cant and didnt mean to imply that - if you know who wrote the thing below then you will find a "beautiful" film out there to watch.

Speaking of which "The Man" was a reasonable laugh - thanks Liv
"Must Love Dogs" on the other hand was abysmal even though starring whats his face from Gross Point Blank and High Fidelity (ahh yes John Cusack that was it) - what could have been a funny sweet film with some big names turned out to have a script and acting worse than and Dallas episode, which is somewhat amusing as most of the cast were from Dallas. Again my apologies to Sarah W, but you saw the trailers too!

In connection with the above film, several of my friends have become recently single, so we have tended to meet up for drinks from time to time...and it appears that some of us feel society is changing - almost all my friends are now married, and it made me realise that I havent yet been in the situation where I would propose...sure it would be a nice way to show that someone i truly love is someone i truly love, but loving someone and marrying them are two completely different things. What if you are at different crossroads in your life? Look at Renee Zelwegger and her Country and Western bloke - she cited deception in the divorce proceeds (or was it fraud) in that he had apparently promised to move in with her in Connecticut and then proceeded to want to stay on his ranch in California or the one in the caribbean. Tough love eh? But perhaps such intolerance has its place.

Although I am of settling down age, and am in a profession that leads people to marry others in the same profession, buy a house and get the shares portfolio running - i have yet to want to do so... i see a partner as someone you can share life with not necessarily a home. Although i am 31, because I spent a long time at uni im lifewise about 24 to 25 in keeping with my contemporaries. Because of this i tend to go out with people of that age. Its this lifewise age that means I still want to travel the world and shirk perhaps the odd responsibility, i want to perhaps change careers at some point and because...well just because. I have always felt sad that people might consider my age a shortcoming..i on the other hand think it has advantages...i feel less panicky about the unknown but am still young enough lifewise to still have the thrill of discovering the same! Life to me is STILL a journey and just as travelling abroad is far much more fun if someone travels with you (a shared experience always far outweighs any solo experience), I will always relish having someone to share life's journey....if they or I then wish to settle down then thats another hurdle to cross but not one so close yet. My father had my younger sister at the age of 50.... After all whats the rush?...and so I told my friends....we all left with smiles that night.
