Fortune Cookie

There are certain choices that people make that cause you to look further down the road at how things may be. You question your past and look at the possible futures. Contemplating these options can bring you to a clearer understanding, but I am finding that they are making things more confusing.

Is where I'm going better than where I've been? Or is it just different?

Is different enough? Is change, though needed, a really good thing right now?

What will happen in a month? Where will I be in a year? How will this work out?

Every so often I get a glimpse of both sides. The pro and the con.

And where will I go? Where will I be? Where will this be?

Of life had all the answers so readily at hand and decoded, I guess it wouldn't be so fun...but sometimes, just sometimes it would be nice to open a fortune cookie and it be direct...

What One Says

<p>&lt;p&gt;In the last month or so, I have come across more instances of people not saying what they mean than ever.&lt;/p&gt;<br>
&lt;p&gt;I had a break up, only to find it it wasn't supposed to be one.&lt;br&gt;<br>
I was told my voice was distracting, just to be told that's not what was meant.&lt;br&gt;<br>
I was told that my efforts to be loving are me just playing around.&lt;br&gt;<br>
I have been told that I shouldn't feel a certain way about situations by a couple different people...mostly having to do with them messing something up.&lt;/p&gt;<br>
&lt;p&gt;If folks took half the time they took meeting stuff up on thinking about what say and how it can be interpreted, relationships wouldn't be so troubled...&lt;/p&gt;<br>
&lt;p&gt;I get tired of having to read between the lines. If that's not what you meant, then don't say it...<br>

Stupid Thing #5: You Believe The Opposite Sex Should Always Understand What You're Saying


For both men and women, we assume the other sex understands what's being said. In reality, male and female brains operate a little differently and women are generally far more capable when it comes to verbal communication. This advantage allows women to track multiple conversations and pick up on intricacies of speech that men can't. In essence, women are better listeners than men by default, even if it's a somewhat minor distinction. The Norwich Bulletin points to a study from the University of Sheffield that discovered the male brain has trouble tracking a woman's speech because of how it processes the sound of the female voice:
These researchers found differences in the way male and female brains process voice sounds. The results of this study demonstrate that, in the male brain, the perception of male and female voices activates different brain regions. The guys could easily hear and understand other men's voices. However, women have a greater natural melody in their voices and possess a more complex range of sound frequencies than a male voice. The men in the study had a harder time deciphering them and really hearing what a woman was saying. When they heard the female voices, they had to decipher them using the part of the brain that processes music - a more complex process than is used in the part of the brain that analyzes a male voice.
The only real solution to the problem is for both men and women to be aware and understanding of this inherent communication issue. Communication is difficult even without the gender differences, so it can help for men to make the extra effort and for women to understand that what they say may not always come across in exactly the way they think.

More Than Words

Though those word DO help....

Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Cause I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words

Now that I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Cause I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words

Wicked Game

I am sure I have posted this songs lyrics up before...but...

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you.
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you.

No, I don't want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you (This world is only gonna break your heart)

What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you.
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you and,

I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you.

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you.
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you,

No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I... (This world is only gonna break your heart)
(This world is only gonna break your heart)

Nobody loves no one.

The Man Code

1. If you've known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever! Unless you actually marry her.

2. When questioned by a friend's girlfriend, you need not and should not provide any information as to his whereabouts. You are even permitted to deny his very existence.

3. Unless he murdered someone in your immediate family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 24 hours.

4. A best man's toast may not include any of the following phrases, "down in Tijuana", "one time when we were all piss drunk", or "and this girl had the biggest rack you ever saw".

5. You may exaggerate any anecdote told to your friends by 50% without recrimination, beyond that anyone within earshot is allowed to yell out "bullshit!". (exception: when trying to pick up a girl, the allowable exaggeration is 400%)

6. Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.
