I've taken up cigars lately. A great relaxer for me. I tell myself that since I don't inhale it's no harm.
In any case, a friend of mine invited me over for a $13 cigar. I jumped at the chance, since I could never justify spending that much on 1 cigar for myself. He said he gave me a cheap one, because the one he was smoking was $16, lol.
I discovered that I prefer my Phillies Blunts that cost $3.00 for a pack of 10!
So much for taste.
I just got done watching the last episode of "The Bachelor -Paris." Hmmm...
I'm glad he didn't chose that woman from California. It had become painfully obvious that she had nothing to offer him except her neediness.
I did wonder whether there was enough of a spark with the chick from Nashville to really make it work well. They seemed so right. On paper. But a little too stiff and academic for my taste. I really didn't see his openness and vulnerability with her any more than the others. He certainly held his feelings close to the vest. Doesn't he ever get excited??
But then again, this is a freakin' reality show (read: nothing like reality).
I think it's kind of cruel... all these women get to thinking they like him because he's handsome, really nice, compliments them... and it doesn't hurt that he's a doctor! And most of what they know of him is their time alone with him. So they always feel "special."
They get swept up... they're overwhelmed by this guy in several romantic settings, far away from day to day humdrum life. So most of them get their hearts broken. It's inevitable. They're shocked, amazed, stunned... They thought they were the princess of the ball. They think they really have "feelings" for him. That's why I think it's cruel... because the nature of a woman is to bond, to warm up. Given enough time with a charming guy being nice and paying attention to them they will "fall in love." (Sounds chauvanist, perhaps. Is it not true?)
I watched the whole season. So I share the blame.
A pier near my place I often go to to write, read, pray, meditate.
