o mio solo

is that like...o, my soul mate? or is it supposed to be sole mate? either way, i don't cotton to that hoo-ha. but i got a "you've got mail message" today and read the profile of the sender who wrote, most elliptically, in his note "." swear to g-dash-dee, that was the entire message. it's a burden to find just the write response.

"!" or maybe ";" or simply "?"

wwjd? and you?

but beyond that (and his use of that lol baloney) he's looking for his soul mate. he said so in his profile. maybe everyone else knew this already but to me it's a relatively recent revelation that men are more romantic...have more fantasies and ideals of what they want love to be like exactly...than women. soul mate? you think that on the entire earth and in outer space too there's a single, solitary individual person you could fall in love with and fantasize about spending rainy afternoons with?

my instinct says irrational. limiting. and ultimately depressing. reminds me of how folks say, "oh, well everything happens for a reason"...i gots to disagree. most stuff that happens is random...sure, you take a certain job, it leads to other opportunities; you go to a certain party, you meet a certain joe, you mess around in a certain corner. but that mackin' is not destiny.

maybe too late in the day for this philo-mush.

i'm going to get me a tall glass of water. literally.
