Guuuuuyyyysss, come to my President’s Day Party this weekend.

In business it’s silly not to have expectations and contingency plans because you need to be ready for anything.

In life, however, having expectations can impede us because if our expectations are not fulfilled we find ourselves upset even when something amazing happens.

Why can’t we just accept amazing? At times, that’s just what we need.

Dreaming is magnificent, but if we tie ourselves strictly to those scripts we miss the improvisation, and that’s where the real magic happens.

Odd, I had a crush on the lovely Jason Schwartzman until he got married (you can’t have a crush on a married man because it will go nowhere).  I met him after this and he was just the kindest most gracious and actually quite amusing person I may have ever met.  I hope his wife truly appreciates him.

I also never thought I would actually meet him, but at his brother’s (Robert Schwartzman) solo show there he was and I actually had something interesting to talk with him about.  

Prior, I met Robert, and no one thought it appropriate to tell me he was seeing someone.  When you know your friend has a crush on your other friend who is taken you should say something—because when I found out I felt like an a$$ because you also shouldn’t have a crush on someone who is involved!!

Point?  It would have been so much less painful if I knew RCS had a gf BEFORE I started to like him!!  I would have turned off the feelings like I did for his brother.

Oh, life…… so silly.

As You Get to Know Someone “Famous” as a Person

First, as those who know me, they know I like to get to know people as who they are and yes, what they “do” (occupation) is a part of what makes them who they are, but at the same time I don’t understand the “fame chasers.”

Yes, I know people who are considered “famous” and some on a more intimate level, and well, they are people just like the rest of us.

A new friend, once was in a famous movie, and I have never watched the movie and am glad I haven’t because that’s not how I want to see him.  There are two fundamental reasons.  1)the movie was 10 years old, and 2) that was a character he played and not him.

Yes, while I am at it…. go to www.robertschwartzman.com and then tell me if you see the person I speak about who was in this movie.

What an amazing person and on his own terms.  How can you NOT love that about him?!?!

Yes, do check out “Double Capricorn” his solo project…. 

He’s just like anyone else and to think otherwise would be a HUGE mistake.

What I do know, from my little contact/friendship is that he is one of the most amazing people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.  

Yes, he is sexy as (insert your own word), but that, to me, has a lot to do with who he is and how he has treated me as a person.  He’s a talented musician for sure, and a lovely gentleman who actually has manners in this many times cruel world, but he’s also just a mere mortal.

Love him for all of this and more, and the most precious part of getting to know anyone is keeping the details private just as you would when you get to know anyone else.  

For me, just an acquaintance type friend at the moment.  I can tell you I cherish every moment talking to him while he is currently on tour.  You should take the time to see him for yourself in action.

Once again, see www.robertschwartzman.com and read about his project and the  altruistic nature of this labour of love as he tells his story the best. All proceeds go to the Tibetan Healing Fund.

He’s just a normal person with an abnormal job, and is doing something positive with what he has been blessed with in this world.

Can’t say enough positive about this human being!!

xo to RCS!!

The Impossible Crush? Possible?

Gosh, I am tired of people telling me that what I dream for is “impossible.”  Perhaps they are correct (and excuse me if I am somewhat elusive and ambigious here because I feel I must be), but perhaps these people have no idea what they are talking about in the first place. We never quite know what motivates people to say what they do and that’s why we will never full understand another human being.

Yes, I am old (in dog years, and perhaps people years as well), but I have always thought I did not need to be in a relationship to be whole.  Hence, I am my age and still not married and have never really been in a long-term relationship either.  I actually think I’d prefer a relationship where I had my freedom and we each could “do our own thing,” yet be together when we needed each other. 

My friends know I am not ugly, and quite delightful, but I was never ready to get serious about someone, BUT now that I may be. I, however, think I picked someone who is out of reach not because of who I am per se, but more because of a timing issue.  

I’m patient and I may be wrong, but I felt chemistry.  Yes, flirting and what-not (unless he sends these signs to everyone, and the perception I have of this person is WAY off).  Maybe, this is the best way to go about this anyway—-getting to know about each other as friends and letting it go from there.

What’s the point of all of this?  Yes, realise your friends care and don’t want to see you hurt, but sometimes they don’t know the truth about a person and are just going on what type of job the person might have (musician in this case, and I have said enough already with that disclosure) or the other hand they let stereotypes of that person or position lead the way.  

All I know is I met an incredibly AMAZING gentleman who I believe I read correctly.  I will listen to my gut and no one else because when it comes to a relationship (if this EVER would get that far) that really would be between the two of us anyway and that is the magic of those “once in a lifetime” relationships.  You know you can trust one another implicitly as well as explicitly.  That’s what makes it magic.

Yes, I have never been “in love” but I have never felt so attracted to another being while at the same time felt so comfortable.  I think there has to be something there, but maybe my whole education was a sham and I have no idea what I am talking about, but I guess the heart sometimes screws us up and over.

On that note, I am over-and-out.
