Sometimes I'm a cornball and stuff likes this makes me cry.
Любовь — это награда, полученная без заслуг...
Любить — значит видеть чудо, невидимое для других.
Любовь — Это одиночество двоих в огромном мире
Любовь — Это oдно дыханье на двоих
Любовь - это Молчание, Прикосновение, Обещание.
Это - секрет один на двоих,
И это - отсутствие всяких секретов.
Любовь - это тот, кто будет держать тебя за руку и чувствовать твое сердце.
Любовь - это искусство Прощения.
Любовь говорит на своем языке - язык взгляда, языке жеста, молчаливого признания.
Любовь проявляет себя во всем и во всех
Она рождается из ничего и умирает из-за всего, не приемля насилия, фальши и лжи
потому, что Любовь - это Свобода
Свобода быть самим собой рядом с тем, кто принимает тебя таким, каков ты есть
Любовь - начало всех начал на свете, она рождает все, что в мире есть.
Первое чувство, которое испытывает в своей жизни человек - любовь к матери.
Последнее чувство, которое он уносит с собой, - любовь к оставляемому миру.
Сказать “Я тебя люблю” займет несколько секунд, показать как - займет всю жизнь.
"Крикни - услышит любой, прошепчи - услышит ближайший, и только я услышу, о чем ты молчишь" - это Любовь.
Если Она - это первое, о чем ты думаешь, когда просыпаешься; единственное - когда бодрствуешь; и последнее, о чем ты думаешь, перед тем как заснуть - значит это - Любовь
wtf is it anyway?

It is better to be beautiful than to be good, but it is better to be good than to be ugly.

he he:
Mr. Big: Nice dress.
Carrie: Meaning?
Mr. Big: Nice dress.
Miranda: Sexy is the thing I try to get them to see me as after I win them over with my personality.
Carrie: Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Maybe if we never veered offcourse we wouldnt fall in love or be who we are...
Carrie: I realized I was in the throes of an existential crisis. One that not even the sight of this season's Dolce & Gabbana strappy sandals could lift me out of.
Carrie: Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back. Maybe, you have to let go of who you were to become who you will be.

Being Single Sucks ;-)
From my Individual Taxation training:
"Single is the default [status]. If you can't find another status to be in, you're SINGLE." for tax purposes :-)
"Married filing separately is a status you don't want to have, that's worse than being single"
__________________________
That's about the only thing I learned after a week of training, but I'll be back in NY on Sunday with stories, going to see An'ka dance at the World Salsa Championships tonight, and to see Mickey tomorrow!
Kisses and some pics are on Fotki :-)!

Random Thought #562147
Coming across an interesting blog I stumbled upon online, I realized that I haven't written in a while. And yes, I update fairly frequently with pictures and quotes and other weird things I find on the web, but I haven't written in a long time. The words don't come that easily anymore. Maybe I'm spending way too much time on facebook and maybe it's that I have so many thoughts lately that it's hard to just put them down on paper. . .or word processor, rather. Does anyone even use that term anymore? Word Processor? Is it just word? Is it just assumed that we type everything these days? There's no more handwritten letters, no more love notes, no more notes passed around in class. Now it's texting, iming, emailing and blogging. Where's the human communication? Where's the need to hear a human voice? What's the point if all we do, is go eat anyway (usually in Anyway).
I guess that's my ramblings at 11:29 p.m. Maybe something more interesting will occur to me. Keep Reading. :-)

Chrisnukah
Subject: Major Merger
Continuing the current trend of large-scale mergers and acquisitions, it was announced today at a press conference that Christmas and Chanukah will merge. An industry source said that the deal had been in the works for about 1300 years.
While details were not available at press time, it is believed that the overhead cost of having twelve days of Christmas and eight days of Chanukah was becoming prohibitive for both sides. By combining forces, we're told, the world will be able to enjoy consistently high-quality service during the 15 Days of Chrisnukah, as the new holiday is being called.
Massive layoffs are expected, with lords a-leaping and maids a-milking being the hardest hit. As part of the conditions of the agreement, the letters on the dreydl, currently in Hebrew, will be replaced by Latin, thus becoming unintelligible to a wider audience.
Also, instead of translating to A great miracle happened there, the message on the dreydl will be the more generic Miraculous stuff happens. In exchange, it is believed that Jews will be allowed to use Santa Claus and his vast merchandising resources for buying and delivering their gifts. In fact, one of the sticking points holding up the agreement for at least three hundred years was the question of whether Jewish children could leave milk and cookies for Santa, even after having eaten meat for dinner. A breakthrough came last year when Oreos were finally declared to be kosher. All sides appeared happy about this development except for Santa's dentist.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
to all the December babies, Happy Birthday!
День рождения ― хорошая дата,
Но немножко грустно всегда,
Потому что летят незаметно,
Наши лучшие в жизни года.
День рождения ― особая дата,
Этот праздник ни с чем не сравнить.
Кто―то умный придумал когда―то:
Имениннику радость дарить.
Радость встречи, улыбки надежды,
Пожеланья здоровья, тепла,
Чтобы счастье безоблачным было,
Чтоб успешными были дела!!!
Желаю в этот день напиться,
В своей квартире заблудиться.
Друзей, родных не узнавать,
И не найти свою кровать.

Man Law
another funny email . . . (well, I thought it was funny and so did Alina, cuz she sent it to me :-) )
1: Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.
2: It is OK for a man to cry ONLY under the following circumstances:
(1) When a heroic dog dies to save its master.
(2) The moment Angelina Jolie starts unbuttoning her blouse.
(3) After wrecking your boss' car.
(4) When she is using her teeth.
3: Any Man who brings a camera to a bachelor party may be legally killed and beaten by his buddies.
4: Unless he murdered someone in your family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 12 hours.
5: If you've known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever unless you actually marry her.
6: Moaning about the brand of free beer in a buddy's fridge is forbidden. However complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable.
7: No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another man. In fact, even remembering your buddy's birthday is strictly optional. At that point, you must celebrate at a strip bar of the birthday boy's choice.
8: On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the weakest.
9: When stumbling upon other guys watching a sporting event, you may ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's playing.
10: You may flatulate in front of a woman only after you have brought her to climax. If you trap her head under the covers for the purpose of flatulent entertainment, she's officially your girlfriend.
11: It is permissible to drink a fruity alcohol drink only when you're running on a tropical beach... and it's delivered by a topless model and only when it's free.
12: Only in situations of moral and/or physical peril are you allowed to kick another guy in the nuts.
13: Unless you're in prison, never fight naked.
14: Friends don't let friends wear Speedos. Ever. Issue closed.
15: If a man's fly is down, that's his problem, you didn't see anything.
16: Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to drink as much as the other sports watchers.
17: A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight.
18: Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both, that's just greedy.
19: If you compliment a guy on his six-pack, you'd better be talking about his choice of beer.
20: Never join your girlfriend or wife in discussing a friend of yours, except if she's withholding sex pending your response.
21: Phrases that may NOT be uttered to another man while lifting weights:
(1) Yeah, Baby, Push it!
(2) C'mon, give me one more! Harder!
(3) Another set and we can hit the showers!
22: Never talk to a man in a bathroom unless you are on equal footing:
i.e., both urinating, both waiting in line, etc. For all other situations, an almost imperceptible nod is all the conversation you need.
23: Never allow a telephone conversation with a woman to go on longer than you are able to have sex with her. Keep a stopwatch by the phone. Hang up if necessary.
24: The morning after you and a girl who was formerly "just a friend" have carnal, drunken monkey sex, the fact that you're feeling weird and guilty is no reason for you not to nail each other again before the discussion about what a big mistake it was occurs.
25: It is acceptable for you to drive her car. It is not acceptable for her to drive yours.
26: Thou shalt not buy a car in the colors of brown, pink, lime green, or sky blue.
27: The girl who replies to the question "What do you want for Christmas?" with "If you loved me, you'd know what I want!" gets an Xbox. End of story.
28: There is no reason for guys to watch Ice Skating or Men's Gymnastics. Ever.
We've all heard about people having guts or balls. But do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the definition of each is listed below.
"GUTS" is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being assaulted by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to say, "are you still cleaning or are you flying somewhere?"
"BALLS" is coming home late after a night out with the guys smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the ass and having the balls to say, "You're next."
Guys-pass this on if you abide by the laws.
Girls-pass it on if you have a sense of humor.

Stupid Holiday Songs
So Thanksgiving just ended and there's trees and lights everywhere. Generally, I love holiday time in the city - the crisp air, the crowds, the beautiful storefronts, reefs and menorahs in every window, ice-skating rinks, shopping bags filled with presents, but the stupid songs! You know what I'm talking about, you can't turn on the radio without hearing "Dominique, the Donkey" and you can't walk into Saks (as Jen and I did after work) without hearing "All I want for Christmas is you." Come on!!! How corny can you get?!? There's always the Adam Sandler "Christmakwanzahanukkah" song to top the list. Anyway, that's my rant for the evening, but I'd love to have a list going of the worst holiday songs ever. I started with three, let's see if we can get to 50, okay that's a bit optimistic, but maybe 15? (Dashka, I think I will REALLY need your help on this one, lol).
Happy singing along, we always sing along!

Ze Big Bandhoulle
This crazy, talented, fun, energetic, awesome, pink band was absolutely unreal. On our way home to the hotel on our Last Night in Madrid, we decided to turn the corner, where we found a crowd of hundreds of people listening to this awesome wind band. Here's a couple of videos. The craziest thing was when they burst out with Hava Nagila in the middle of Puerta del Sol (the only time this whole trip that my camera died) and luckily enough we found them in Plaza de Mayor the next day, right before running to catch our plane!

Corrida, Plaza del Toros, Madrid, España
In Spain, bullfighting is an art, not a sport. Corridas and Torreadors are listed in the arts pages of newspapers, not sports pages. Watching the bullfight, I am not sure if I was more scared for the bull or the torreador. I'm glad I saw it, but I don't think I would ever do it again . . .

Madrid Musicians
Plaza de Mayor, Sunday, October 28, 2007
Madrid (and most of Spain) is filled with street performers of all sorts. Some of them are extremely talented playing in the streets and squares for a living. (More to come)

Life it seems is endless
It's just a waste of time
The journey to adulthood
Seems such an endless climb.
The waiting and the pain
There seems to be no end
But when you think the journeys through
You see around the bend.
The pain and all the hardships
Found in grown up life
You find that maturity
Has much more pain and strife.
Life has no constant rhythm
Nor an equal rhyme
The search for total happiness
Is just an endless climb.

Madrid by Night. . .
The nightlife in Madrid is for young and old alike, public squares are filled with street vendors, musicians, tourists and locals alike. Cafes, restaurants, pubs and other such establishments are full of people - it's fun, alive and very different from our dear Nueva York.
