My Great Loves

If I will be asked today what or who are the great loves of my life, then I will have to answer it like these.

There's God, above all, my family coming in close second, Chewy, who I will miss terribly when he leaves us, and bestfriends, both girls and guys who've been with me through thick and thin (literally!). There are material things that I treasure just because they mean different things to me. Mad Max, my Independence. Books, my Escape. Internet and PC, my Knowledge Source.

And then, there are those that I crave. Those things that never cease to interest me, capture me, and entrap me with just the mere mention of words, of concepts. Love, and all it's mysteries. I can go on and on analyzing and still come up with no answers. Literature, the beauty of the written word, how it amazes me to read words that can evoke many feelings with just a few simple well-written phrases. Poetry, I still hold it above all as one of life's simple pleasures, listening to poetry, and watching it in everyday surroundings.

Let me add, Education, the never ending pursuit of knowledge is just that, a never ending pursuit, and should never be abandoned. I hope I can find a business someday that can finance all the educational pursuits that I want. I want to take a Master's Degree in Educational Psychology, in English Literature, and take dozens of other short courses on any of the following: Foreign Languages, Anthropology, Sociology, Film, Interior Design, Early Childhood Education, and Art.

Speaking of Art - if there is one thing that can make this entry short, it's art. Literature is one form of it, Visual Arts, Photography and Dance are all forms of it. And I love them all. I take great pleasure in watching, participating, and appreciating all the great artists perform their magic.

Last but not the least, I'm endlessly fascinated about places and culture. Other people and my own. Anything that has years of history, looks different and the same, have great story potential is absolutely fascinating to me. I can watch Travel Channel for days on end, and I won't be bored.

Okay, I'm ending this entry of Great Loves without The One, The Great True Love, because, well, I don't have any. I think I'm going to end up like those women, who loves life, but spend it trying to find True Love with no success. Ah well, I'm almost resigned to that Fate. (But I'm always praying for a miracle!)

So what are your Great Loves?


Next entry...my Top Ten Travel Fantasy Places with no drabbles (so you won't have to listen to me gush about a place i've never been to) and just photos and quotes.

P.S. It's my brother's birthday today. Guh, a sign that says my birthday is just around the bend.
