Someone I loved once gave me
a box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand

so anyway, the usual talk...

one of the most beautiful "bama" days ever. should be "dog days" but it was balmy and the nights are cool. what the hell! this would be so nice to share, so i will...with me! i love me 
i love me i know i've said this before, but;
je t'aime, je t'aime, i love the movie, "Paris, je t'aime." it will restore, or strengthen your faith in love. 18 vignettes of different types of love, filmed in 18 of the twenty arrondissement of Paris. try it, you'll buy it!

detachment frees us.
once free

loved
sounds clinical
the workable model is less so when love is unconditional
