How many times a week do you actually feel??

[FlamingoBlue]

You know what I mean; actually feeeeelllll some passion about something.

Let's face it, unless your very special, you go through the motions most of the time. But there are momets when you feel something wonderful. Perhaps it's a shit eating grin. Or a hearty laugh. Or maybe it's listening to a tune that elevates your spirit.

I am a very fortunate man. I have learned to live life on the love side. Gives you a very positive attitude on life. You enjoy life a lot more. Truly!

I experience many passionate moments during my days about all kinds of "ordinary" stuff. Like helping a lady yesterday find her car in a packed parking lot. She was afraid to get into my car until I told her that I didn't have the strength to rape woman anymore. She laughed with me, opened up the door and got in. We drove around until we found her car, chatted a bit and said goodbye. That was very nice.

Today I served lunch at my place to a new client. We talked about her divorce and spent a very comfortable afternoon together. We got a lot accomplished. That was very nice, too. And my mother called me tonight to tell me she loved me; and so did my daughter. Those are passionate moments for me.

I may have found a way to selectively practice Law if the price is right. That gives me unbelievable freedom. I have NEVER had that kind of freedom before, nor have I ever been more capable of handling it.

Honestly, I have never felt happier. It's a very strange feeling for me and I really like it.

Ciao for now.

Well. I got pissed off the afternoon. Pure passion there. I watched my son master the concept of "ch" and we had a party and danced the conga. Passion. I laughed my ass off at my dogs this morning. That's passion. I watched the Stud take his clothes off. Now that's enough to make any man lover feel passionate. Passionate about something is feeling an extreme amount of emotion. I'm a volitile person. I feel a lot of emotion and to the extremes.

Tomorrow I get an EEG. Don't worry 'bout it, don't light candles, don't hope for the best. It's kinda like a diabetic drawing blood. To see if we need to adjust the medication. Anyway, what's the big deal? I will have glue in my hair. For about seven hours before I can wash it out. Give me an hour after the test and I'm going to be ripping and snorting to get the stuff out of my hair.

What? I'm vain. I'm passionate about my hair.

starving life artists...passionate entrepreneurs

The difference between full-time passion and full-time conformity can really effect one's bottom line. I have chosen the full-time passion route, and only after many years of sacrifice, was I finally able to enjoy a measure of financial freedom. However, with my business success, came an appetite for even more recognition and achievement. Now, my full-time passion is tempered quite a bit by conformity to, at least a part-time responsibility to live up to the dependable artist that I have become. ('Dependable artist'...Is that an oxymoron?) My art is often a passion; the business is often a passion; even the people ignite my passion. However,the memories of neglected passions of playfulness - afternoons of whimsical dreams - sometimes mercilessly tease my dutifulness.
Balance seems to be a moving target.

Like you, my greatest moments come when I'm in touch with people that I truly love! A phone call, note, email or IM can just jumpstart my day, or tuck me safely and contently into bed at night.

I only wish I can feel as passionate towards getting employment or paying bills or cleaning the apartment! I suppose those tasks are made tolerable because of the good moments I get almost every day! I'm trying to get a better balance now between the good and troublesome or annoying things.

Again, wishing you the best in our new work from home enterprise! Sounds like you're off to a good start.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm blessed or cursed.. I'm passionate about almost everything, eating a good meal, debating a point, no matter how trivial, everything I do, I do passionately. If I can't work up Feeling about something, it's not worth bothering with to me... I spend my life on a constant roller coaster from one strong emotion to the next...
