I guess I've been seeing this more and more lately, and I find myself at a crossroads. Continue to worship them and gain their endorsement? Or be myself, and ultimately end up alone despite trusting myself?
Amidst all of this, I considered simplifying the task. Don't raze the field, Jo. Don't burn bridges. And don't not burn the bridges because you'll be afraid you may need that person later, but because it just ain't nice. Why make the lives of others miserable?
The task--simplified--was inspired by my brother's Bob the Cat. He knows what he likes, whether you like it or not. So, for you now, whether or not it's politically correct, whether it offends or not, whether it makes me boring, pathetic, or naive...
These are a few of my favorite things:
- Declawed large and loving cats
- Stews made with so many ingredients you think you'd died and gone to heaven
- Language, foreign or domestic
- Cottage cheese
- Seasides
- Literature with a love of language and twists of plot
- The music of Bruce Springsteen
- Baseball
- Basil
- Horse stables
- The roar of a crowd, winning
- Bright, copper kettles
- Warm, woolen mittens
- Lists
- Love
- Sex, well played
- Don Julio Anejo, neat, accompanied by a lime, a cutting board, and a knife
- Dahlias
- Tres Leches cake
- Making my brother laugh
- Making EVERYONE laugh
- Teaching
- Writing
- Libraries
- Movies
- God. And God all to myself (I prefer to not be an evangelist)
- Cattle ranches
- Flying in Cessnas and Piper Cubs
- Riding in Amtrak trains
- Dark chocolate with chilis
- Warm rolls
- Acceptance
P.S. - This song is the inspiration of today's installment of Life For Rent. What's on your list?
