scottobearThere are three beings I cherish a great deal. :)
Anyone who has read my journal can probably guess two out of the three.
Newt, Ornj, and My Little brother are they. I'm just taking a moment to express my deep regard and love for them. I feel differently about each, but the love is a constant.
Ornj is very special to me, as she draws out every variety of love that has meaning to me.To attack the definition from Plato's point of view... Eros, true love, instant chemistry, abiding passion... Storge (affectionate, friendly love) - value companionship and trust, Pragma (logical, pragmatic love) - "list" of compatible traits, Agape (unselfish love) - love as a selfless, almost spiritual form of giving to the partner.... I think I'm mostly past the selfish "mania. Jealousy still rears up, but I trust and adore her so much, that it's been pretty squelched... turned to the others.)
Anyhow, Ornj is an amazing woman. I swear, I don't know what I did to have the good fortune of her company, but I'm glad that we've met, and blossomed so well... My heart still skips a beat whenever I see her, and I delight in even the most fleeting moments with. She brings out all my finer points, and makes me feel good too. If I could, I'd snatch her up, and run off with her to Ireland... take her everyplace she's never been, and discover the world with her, together. Who knows what the future might bring? I'm happy to cuddle up and watch discovery channel too. :) All time spent with her is pure gold. Laughter, Deep thought, shallow thought, discovery and passion. She gives me goosebumps.
Newton... he's my little baby boy. I had no idea I could invest so much emotion into a little kitty. He draws out my playful side, my daddy side, and snuggles with me when I sleep. I adore that little babyhead. He's never in a bad mood, is always affectionate, and only wants to eat kibble, play and nap with me... how can you go wrong? Plus he's a cutiepoop. You have to admire a child who's willing to follow you to the bathroom, and sit in the sink (or your dropped boxer shorts) and talk to you while you do your business.
Derek, my Bro. A good guy, really has only recently started to come into his own... Lived a life I envy a bit, and loathe a bit too... surfed in Hawaii for 5 years, pro-am. Now living locally, we seem to rarely get time to meet. it was Sundays for a while, but his schedule is very unpredictable. Hopefully I'll get to see him tomorrow ... it'll be the first time in ages. I'll probably end up doing his taxes for him, the slacker... (I should talk, I just did mine last night... by the way, I'm getting about 300 back. Woohoo! I was expecting about a tenth of that.) anyhow, he's really the only member of my family that I can talk to and enjoy my time with. We *always* laugh when we get together, whether it's muppet jokes, off-color humor (I'm going to cup and toss him, for old times sake tomorrow, if the timing's right.Haven't done that since I was about 15. I wonder how many folks know what a cup & toss is? I explained it to my sweetie this week, and I think she was mortified. Nothing terrible.)
I hope everyone has at least one being like this to love, and be loved by. I'm incredibly blessed to have all three... my greatest blessings.
I love them, to a point where I can't explain... and I guess I don't have to, just be happy that they're there.
*kisses, hugs, and noogies to all of 'em.... and to all of you, my buddies.

Date: 2001-04-14 02:01 pm (UTC)My parents are two, naturally... I've been blessed to have the world's most supportive 'rents, and I don't think I would have gotten half as much out of life so far without them...
Thanks for the post, bud. I'll have to take some time later today to thank all the people that care about me.
