TJ’s comment about my pot belly reminded me I only saw Pulp Fiction once — only saw it once because I didn’t want the perfect experience I had viewing it the first time ruined…. What have you seen or read or done only once so as not to be disappointed?

    I don’t have that sort of restraint or thoughtfulness. I have to keep going back until I ruin it. Then I wait awhile and go back again and then it’s ok.

    Yeah I’m a bit with Aaron on this kind of thing. I don’t know that I have a sense of purposefulness in not ruining things or disappointment, sometimes I ruin things, sometimes I get disappointed, generally though new experiences happen and they often reveal different colours.

    These are deep waters. I continue to meditate.

    Sweet Jesus!

    Danny and I just finished watching Jack Ass 2! Now Danny was like, “Eww! Why are we watching this?” But he was giggling. No eww’s for me, I’m like giggling and giggling. Sheila, deep waters indeed. I’m going to spend a moment just now and meditate. Danny’s gone up to bed. Maybe in a moment, I’ll go out to the cold, cold patio and have a cig.

    I tried to post a couple times, a comment speaking to your belly. Those comments were lost due to me being on a “new” laptop. Perhaps enough to say. All the usual “automatic” things weren’t in place. Me forgetting to put my name and email in the appropriate places before submitting. Fuckin’ new stuff, how we forget what automatic meant. Fucking change! It’s practically a new year my friend let’s move on with the pieces we now have, as well as the pieces we’ve lost yet still carry, in behavior, as ours. Yes?

    Rick, yes!

    I’ve only spent a week in bed with someone only getting out when absolutely necessary (food, facilities, and mutual bathing) once. It’s more a matter of practically than not wanting to spoil the first experience, I suppose, but it is something I’ve only done once that was quite nice.

    Maybe that makes me sound lazy?

    I am by nature greedy, so I always want more of what pleases me. I guess the place I spoil things on a regular basis would be with music, I fall in love with tunes so much that I play them to death and so push that love to another place – it can be recovered eventually, if I leave off for a few years. I now try not to purchase music I truly love and rely on the randomness of life to give it to me.

    Still pondering something I may have been restrained with . I’ll be back.

    Oh! I thought of somethings. I only have this experience with food. Once I had tiramisu in Florence, it was clear that I would never have a perfect tiramisu again and have since stricken it from my list of things I will try outside of Florence. I can’t say that I’ve been terribly strict about it since my trip back in 1999, but as a rule, I try to keep that dish pure of memory.
