the most colorful man to ever walk the earth.

Diogenes of Sinope then...
Though it doesn't roll off the tongue.
While I know you are fully an interesting searching pilgrim, with your own quests and eternal lovelight beakoning, armed with witty barbs and transendental meanderings... aiming your light one way then the next, as you don't want to miss a single fortuitous meeting which could be the one to change your eyes, and where they fall.. and with what purpose. I appreciate the arrogance with which you no doubtedly see but don't see... I know a thing or two about arrogance myself...
I have met you before, therefore I understand you.
I lived with you for years, and loved you with a passion that was only eclipsed by our eventual mutual hate.
Of course I know this is not really you.. but do you know the vibes you get from people ~ the writing eerily similar.. the ways in which they say it, the things they say.. the constant searching...
I had a child with this man, and I loved him deeply..
So.. in understanding your search for love and wisdom, I thought I'd let you know I do see ( though tainted perhaps) why you remind me so of someone I knew intimately... I won't judge you based on that, I couldn't, as you are different. But the similarities when I watch you write are astounding to me.
And I think it helps me to say with assurance.....
"You'll be just fine"If you'd like, I can link you to a page of his, and you will know what I mean...... Might help you understand.... IP: Logged |

No arms were offered or accepted. But you seem to be up in arms over something.IP: Logged |

He is smarter than most.. but trust me, don't ever let him think you know this...... he will look down upon you forever, unjustifiably.
Not that I know......  Point is, you remind me of him. MAJORLY. IP: Logged |

You know, it's funny you would say that pixie. I'm sometimes almost convinced I've only met 20 or so people during the course of my life. The same 20 over and over - different places, different faces but the same basic sort, possessing the same basic rhythm. Maybe it would be closer to the Truth to say I saw them that certain way rather than they were that certain way. Always through a glass darkly. But either ...Reading Diogenes has been so much like revisiting my old self of about ten years ago. A barely remembered self. And odd experience I haven't before encountered. The name itself even strikes old memory bells. I wonder if there's a reason for that. One final backwards glance before passing through yet another gate? Although maybe it is less the self remembered than the circumstances. At any rate, like you (although for different reasons), I too can honestly say "with assurance ... 'You'll be just fine'"  "...at times I almost dream I too have spent a life the sages' way, And tread once more familiar paths. Perchance I too perished in an arrogant self-reliance Ages ago; ... That life was blotted out-not so completely But scattered wrecks enough of it remain, Dim memories, as now, when once more seems The goal in sight again..."  IP: Logged |

pixelpixie and I might have known each other ten years ago, but we were only kids then. We can't even say we did the best we could under the circumstances, because we didn't. We didn't know how. Still our boy is amazing, truly a gift, and no matter what else has come between us there is no refuting what we share in him. Ten years is a lot of time, and a lot of changing. Why is there never any room for this in your approach to us? Why do I always feel like your looking at a photograph of that man-child I used to be, instead of seeing the man I've become before you. As with most stories, the narrative changes a great deal depending on who is doing the narration. But here, in this place, I'll let you tell the story as you see fit. I won't lie and say this didn't hurt my feelings a little - because it did. But I suppose by now I'm used to this game. 10 years is a long time to be holding your anger so tightly, wouldn't it feel better to put it down and move on? IP: Logged |

"We can't even say we did the best we could under the circumstances, because we didn't. We didn't know how." Ignorance is also a circumstance. (Maybe he's not smarter than me...) Not that its any of my business, but I can empathize with being stuck in a photograph. The only constant in the universe is change.

Well.. this is uncomfortable.
I just meant ( like Tink.. Thank you for clarifying this) that "This is Not a Love Story" reminds me of "Diogenes of Sinope".. and that if you, Diogenes, are feeling raw or feeling that you will fail in this writing thing, trust me when I say you will be okay. Which is why I left your link here... to sing your praises if you will....So In response to "This is not a Love Story"... my comparison is in your favour. So stop thinking I am dragging you in here with mean things to say. They are not mean, they are nice.... or didn't you notice, as you so often fail to do.. that unless we are in the crux of another misunderstanding regarding our son, I respect you... I think you are immensely talented, and I used our past as a reference... don't worry, I have hopes as you do that unless something ugly is dragged forward, we live peaceably in our own little worlds, sharing a common denominator.
And what a denominator he is.. wouldn't you agree?
*Seriously though, Love story... This guy is you when I knew you... it is uncanny sometimes...
Now.
Welcome to my little world on the net.
You can have a look around, but be careful, you may get sucked into Astrology. if you want, I can show you. P.S. ( Isn't there always a P.S.) I don't really know how I interpreted this poorly, or why you felt the need to say something here.. I barely talked about 'our relationship'... I simply introduced someone, in the easiest way. Not currently, as in the man in the photograph.. but THEN... He reminds me of someone THEN.. and I said "He'll be just fine." As in you NOW.
You are not anyone in a photograph.
Nor did I tell any version of the past here.. I very simply introduced you....
I won't make that mistake again. IP: Logged |

There was no malice in my response, only an attempt to add a bit of insight, since it was my character that was introduced. This is your space, I respect that. We all need some place where we can express ourselves freely. I understand this is yours. Like I said, thanks for the traffic.IP: Logged |

Strike me, Antisthenes, but you will never find a stick sufficiently hard to remove me from your presence, while you speak anything worth hearingIt is so wonderful to see this side of you pixie. I find you even more fascinating now. IP: Logged |

Huh?
I am just tired of being misunderstood in every area of my life lately. I think it is just me.
This exchange was actually confusing to me, as I was trying to assure someone ( shaped steve diogenes) that whatever he was feeling, because he reminds me of someone I know has turned out just fine, so I think he will as well..... er.. but without the patronizing tone.. um... I was trying to help..
and then, the guy I was singing the praises of comes on here all up in arms and wondering why I don't respect him, when the whole reason I was referring to him, was because I respect his writing etc....
Like.. I was singing hios praises, and I got crap for it.
I don't get it.
But then, I never do.. and as he said, it depends on who is doing the narration.. but as I recall, I said nothing of our time together. At least nothing descriptive....
I'm going to go do something self destructive now. *smoke* and wonder why my heart is beating irregularily with more frequency, and my circulation is poor.
I'm sad.IP: Logged |
