Made for each other?

[bluesummer]

Has anyone just really had something they needed.., and out of nowhere.., just came across something that met all those needs so completely.., as if it was made just for them.., like that's exactly what they needed.., it couldn't be more perfect if they told a company how to make exactly what they needed?

That's so funny, Ijust had that exact experience two days ago.

You see, I'm a designer sunglass freak. Coach and Dolce & Gabbana are my favorite. I was looking online at Coach sunglasses the other day, and none of them were the shape I liked. Too round. All I wanted were some squarish black plastic frames with something not too fancy on the temple (arm). Coach also gives all it's sunglass models girl's names like Joelle and Charlotte. So I was thinking "I should send them my own design and tell them to name it after me: Nina."

I click on the next page.....and lo and behold, there they are. Black plastic frames. Squarish. Guess what the model name was? NINA. I shit you not. It actually freaked me out slightly.

Here they are:

That's exactly how I felt when I was reading what that Advil was for.., I was like.., soar throat.., yup.., have that.., cough.., yup.., have that.., congestion.., yup.., headaches.., yup.., body aches.., yup.., joint pains.., yup.., muscle pain.., wait a second.., what's going on here.., this is like someone made this just for me.., though I would be pretty freaked out if they had my name on it.., or a picture of me ill.., on the box.., checking out the box.., that would be a little extreme..

Best,

You don't really have any other reasons do you?

yes, and i'm just dying to tell you what they are.

While I didn't fall in love with any kind of flu medication, I know exactly what you're talking about.

I've never had the feelings with anyone that I have with my girlfriend. You know how some couples finish each others sentences? Yeah, we don't do that. Instead, we have the exact same thoughts or say the exact same things out of nowhere. There will be times that we haven't talked to each other all day.. while she's at school or I'm at school, and I'll go to call her only to find out she's calling me at that exact same moment.

First and foremost there's the natural element. The ocean, the sun. Tides, wind, sand. You spend hours and hours in storms, sun, gale force winds - it gets you out in the ocean when otherwise the only place you'd want to be is at home in front of the heater. You learn to read weathermaps, to judge how such and such wind is going to affect a south easterly swell at this break or that break. How the tides are going to affect it. What the sand banks are doing. You accumulate a wonderful store of specialised knowledge.

Apart from that it builds your strength and the confidence you get from becoming accomplished at an incrediblly difficult discipline. In big conditions it forces you to confront your physical fears - something there isn't much scope for in the 9-5 office grind.

But for me its sailing. I always feel very free on the ocean, away from land. Almost the same reasons as CB. Sailing, like surfboarding can be quite cerebral. I'd also have to add the ability to be (almost) completely self-sufficient. If I screw up navigating, safety/prep, or any other of a number of things, the only one who can help me is me (& whoever I happen to be sailing with).

It keeps you fit and rips up your back and your torso. And also, because the act of surfing is so difficult it forces you to focus so completely on what you're doing that, on some days, it pushes you into a meditative state. You can get so totally absorbed in what you're doing at that exact moment that everything else melts away.

And it's just so damn fun.

Perfect..

I just had this exact experience 5 minutes ago. I was looking online for homes for sale and I found this cute home at a great price. There were photos and I looked at them and it was perfect for me. So I looked for the real estate agent and she had the EXACT first and last name as myself!!!! I am so shock that I have to take a nap lol. Bye guys for now.

I must add that my name is not very common.

Girl: But I don't want such a big family

Girl: Sweety..
Guy: Don't sweety me.., you know it's important.., I don't want it to die out
Girl: Sweety.., your last name is Smith

Hey.., at least you found it though! How does it feel?

[Gribble]

I enjoy camping. Alone. Take a trip deep into the woods. Leave behind the electronics. Plant your ass on a log and shut your trap for five minutes. You'll be amazed at what you see. There's a beautiful world out there beyond the concrete monstrosities.

One of these days I'm going to take a trip into the mountains and I'm just not gonna come back.

OMGosh my ex said the exact same thing. He and his brother were the last and wanted to carry the family name so that it won't die out. But his name was extremely common like Smith.
