It changes the entire meaning of the song. He's still in love with Number 1, despite the fact that she's not very good at loving him. She's first on his list.But he's willing to take a chance on Number 2. Not because he loves her, but because she just might help him get over Number 1. I wouldn't count on it. <br/><br/>Plus, as another said, it's not a good song to sing to a new lover. (Understatement of the year.)<br/><br/>In short, first loves stay with you all your life. You never forget them and even later in life, if you run into them again, might even feel that same old feeling. While this may not sound hopeful, life does go on, I promise.]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[doggylives @ 7/24/2008 10:18:36 AM]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.plime.com/f/4737/1/atom0_3.rss#q23" /><id>295028</id><summary><![CDATA[<div class='qp pad d'><a class="page-dull td" href="/plime-com/f/4737/1/#q21"><b>&laquo;</b></a>&nbsp;<i><b>unzercharlie</b> : Read this article by someone from the internet called Angela.

I found this article online, and now it hangs on my refridgerator.<br/><br/>==================================================<br/><br/><b>The Crocodile Nun</b><br/><br/>I just had a nap on the beach, and dreamed of a boy and girl on a blanket by the river&#8217;s edge. A giant crocodile dressed in a nun&#8217;s habit and little round gold wire glasses crawled up out of the river to bite the boy on the butt. <br/><br/>That&#8217;s a pretty good symbol for what&#8217;s causing you to suffer! A boy and a girl don&#8217;t feel free to simply BE with one another without the cartoon monster of habitual ways of thinking, religious and social training, and popular culture emerging from the depths of our unconscious and trying to bite them on the butt! <br/><br/>That Crocodile Nun is the traditional model of romantic love. But it&#8217;s not &#8220;real&#8221; or &#8220;true;&#8221; not anymore real or true than an infinite variety of other models. It&#8217;s a story made up by people, and it has really caught on only in the last 120 years or so &#8211; around the same time frame as Santa Claus and his magic sleigh. And it&#8217;s not the most empowering story ever written, that&#8217;s for sure! The story goes something like this: <br/><br/>You dream that one day fate will throw your one perfect mate into your path, and she will make you happy. You are sure that if that doesn&#8217;t happen, or if you pick the wrong woman by mistake or through lack of patience, you will be unhappy, unfulfilled, and unsatisfied. One day, a miracle happens and you meet a beautiful woman and you &#8220;fall in love&#8221;. You are &#8220;fated&#8221; to be together &#8211; you are &#8220;soul mates.&#8221; Your job is to make her fall in love with you, too. If you succeed, you &#8220;win&#8221; her and you live happily ever after. Your &#8220;love&#8221; will conquer all obstacles. You probably marry and procreate. (And if you fail to &#8220;win&#8221; her, you have blown your big chance, because she was your soul mate and every other woman you meet from now on will be only a pale, meager comparison &#8211; and you will punish those women for being pale, meager comparisons to the perfect woman!) <br/><br/>Now, once you have entered into happily ever after, you &#8220;owe&#8221; each other certain things &#8211; some stated and some unspoken things. If you fail to provide those things for each other, you are &#8220;betraying&#8221; one another. Sometimes you make promises to each other during a big commitment ceremony, and those promises are good only as long as they&#8217;re convenient for you, but they have huge repercussions if you get caught. And often one partner doesn&#8217;t realize that he owed the other a particular thing, but it&#8217;s his fault because he &#8220;owed&#8221; her the ability to just &#8220;know&#8221; that she needed it. Or one partner will retaliate against the other if she fails to provide a particular thing for him, and love will just &#8220;fade away&#8221; as he tries to &#8220;win&#8221; it again in another lover. And then both partners are angry and bitter and blaming, and society will side with one or the other, and the spawn of this union will grow up to re-live the same story, and so on and so on. You will clutch the pain forever and you will carry it with you into your future relationships. So will your kids. <br/><br/>Now, so many people are living out that story and supporting others in living it, that it&#8217;s easy to forget that it&#8217;s only a story, one of a gazillion possible models for romantic love. As far as I&#8217;m concerned, it&#8217;s a story all but guaranteed (with a few notable exceptions) to sentence people to being dissatisfied, unfulfilled, and unhappy. Why not try on a new model that works better, with the aim of generating satisfaction, fulfillment and happiness? Here&#8217;s one that works for me:<br/><br/>You take 100% responsibility for creating a life you love. You practice generating love, beginning before you even meet a prospective life partner. You look closely at yourself to see what habitual ways of thinking about love you have inherited from your parents, society, religion, and pop culture; you practice being present and continually choosing ways of being that work best for you in creating a life you love, and you practice letting go of the old stuff that doesn&#8217;t work for you. You date for fun and to learn more about yourself, others, and the world; not necessarily to find your soul mate. You are positive that since love resides within, not outside, yourself, you will be able to create a loving, mutually beneficial relationship with any number of people. You know deep in your heart that if a person were to leave you, they wouldn&#8217;t be taking anything away from you &#8211; rather, they would be taking their own next right action in creating a life they love, and you wouldn&#8217;t have it any other way, just as you would want them to trust you to take your own next right actions. <br/><br/>At some point (maybe), timing, desire, and a mutually beneficial alignment of values converge upon you and you choose to have an exclusive relationship with a particular person. Here&#8217;s the tricky part: First and most important: you accept one another, exactly as you are and exactly as you are not. You practice doing that as long as you are in each other&#8217;s lives &#8211; making sure that the well-being of the other person and of yourself is your biggest priority. The two of you talk about what kind of loving, mutually beneficial relationship would work best for both of you in creating a life you both love. You negotiate, out loud, what you want and don&#8217;t want to be part of the relationship, as honestly as you can and in good faith. You act with integrity in every area of your life. Then you try out the plan and renegotiate as necessary. You both continue to assume 100% responsibility for your own happiness, fulfillment, and satisfaction, and when you catch yourself thinking the other person &#8220;owes&#8221; you anything, you surrender that thought and look at what YOU can do to generate whatever is missing that will make a positive difference in your relationship. <br/><br/>If you look around and can&#8217;t find love, or if an impasse occurs which you&#8217;re unable to renegotiate through; you look to see what you&#8217;re holding on to that you could give up. You generate love (or at least friendship) in your conversations, you persevere if you choose, or you say goodbye with love (or at least friendship) if you choose. You continue, or you leave, knowing that you have all the power in the world to create a loving mutually beneficial relationship; all it takes is your choosing. The outcome of this relationship doesn't mean anything about you. <br/><br/>In this model, no one owns anyone and no one owes anything. The concepts of ownership and owingship don&#8217;t belong in a loving, mutually beneficial relationship, the way I see it. Owning and owing are the seeds of resentment, hostility, and disdain &#8211; not qualities I want in any of my relationships! They are the teeth of the butt-biting crocodile. <br/><br/>In my model, there are two aspects that are essential: taking 100% responsibility for your own satisfaction, fulfillment, and happiness; and accepting your lover exactly as (s)he is and exactly as (s)he is not. <br/><br/>Now, your model of romantic love may look completely different, and mine will probably evolve. What I most want to say is: boldly look at the traditional model of romantic love and see it for what it is &#8211; a story, one possible (and flawed) story out of an infinite number of possible stories of how your love can go. You are free to generate a loving, mutually beneficial relationship exactly as you want it! And there are a mind-boggling number of people out there who would be a perfect match for you &#8211; don&#8217;t buy into the &#8220;will I ever meet my one true love?&#8221; illusion. <br/><br/>Shun the Crocodile Nun! Live a life you love.<br/><br/>==================================================<br/><br/>Man up, it's not the end of the world, and it's not the last time you'll suffer a broken heart. If you take this as poorly as you seem to be taking it in that first post, you're gonna f**k up your entire perception of love. Shake it off, move on, look ahead with optimism, there really is no alternative. You deal with it well, and allow this to improve the person you are, or you handle it poorly, and it brings negative change to who you are.</i></div>Same as sucker, just wanted to quote THE longest comment in all plimes history]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[suckersklub @ 7/24/2008 10:13:10 AM]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.plime.com/f/4737/1/atom0_3.rss#q22" /><id>295023</id><summary><![CDATA[<div class='qp pad d'><a class="page-dull td" href="/plime-com/f/4737/1/#q21"><b>&laquo;</b></a>&nbsp;<i><b>unzercharlie</b>&#160;:&#160;Read this:<br/><br/>==================================================<br/><br/><b>The Crocodile Nun</b><br/>I just had...]]></summary><issued>2008-07-24T10:13:10+01:00</issued><modified>2008-07-24T10:13:10+01:00</modified><content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[<div class='qp pad d'><a class="page-dull td" href="/plime-com/f/4737/1/#q21"><b>&laquo;</b></a>&nbsp;<i><b>unzercharlie</b>&#160;:&#160;Read this:<br/><br/>==================================================<br/><br/><b>The Crocodile Nun</b><br/>I just had a nap on the beach, and dreamed of a boy and girl on a blanket by the river&#8217;s edge.

As far as I&#8217;m concerned, it&#8217;s a story all but guaranteed (with a few notable exceptions) to sentence people to being dissatisfied, unfulfilled, and unhappy. Why not try on a new model that works better, with the aim of generating satisfaction, fulfillment and happiness? Here&#8217;s one that works for me:<br/><br/>You take 100% responsibility for creating a life you love. You practice generating love, beginning before you even meet a prospective life partner. You look closely at yourself to see what habitual ways of thinking about love you have inherited from your parents, society, religion, and pop culture; you practice being present and continually choosing ways of being that work best for you in creating a life you love, and you practice letting go of the old stuff that doesn&#8217;t work for you. You date for fun and to learn more about yourself, others, and the world; not necessarily to find your soul mate. You are positive that since love resides within, not outside, yourself, you will be able to create a loving, mutually beneficial relationship with any number of people. You know deep in your heart that if a person were to leave you, they wouldn&#8217;t be taking anything away from you &#8211; rather, they would be taking their own next right action in creating a life they love, and you wouldn&#8217;t have it any other way, just as you would want them to trust you to take your own next right actions. <br/><br/>At some point (maybe), timing, desire, and a mutually beneficial alignment of values converge upon you and you choose to have an exclusive relationship with a particular person. Here&#8217;s the tricky part: First and most important: you accept one another, exactly as you are and exactly as you are not. You practice doing that as long as you are in each other&#8217;s lives &#8211; making sure that the well-being of the other person and of yourself is your biggest priority. The two of you talk about what kind of loving, mutually beneficial relationship would work best for both of you in creating a life you both love. You negotiate, out loud, what you want and don&#8217;t want to be part of the relationship, as honestly as you can and in good faith. You act with integrity in every area of your life. Then you try out the plan and renegotiate as necessary. You both continue to assume 100% responsibility for your own happiness, fulfillment, and satisfaction, and when you catch yourself thinking the other person &#8220;owes&#8221; you anything, you surrender that thought and look at what YOU can do to generate whatever is missing that will make a positive difference in your relationship. <br/><br/>If you look around and can&#8217;t find love, or if an impasse occurs which you&#8217;re unable to renegotiate through; you look to see what you&#8217;re holding on to that you could give up. You generate love (or at least friendship) in your conversations, you persevere if you choose, or you say goodbye with love (or at least friendship) if you choose. You continue, or you leave, knowing that you have all the power in the world to create a loving mutually beneficial relationship; all it takes is your choosing. The outcome of this relationship doesn't mean anything about you. <br/><br/>In this model, no one owns anyone and no one owes anything. The concepts of ownership and owingship don&#8217;t belong in a loving, mutually beneficial relationship, the way I see it. Owning and owing are the seeds of resentment, hostility, and disdain &#8211; not qualities I want in any of my relationships! They are the teeth of the butt-biting crocodile. <br/><br/>In my model, there are two aspects that are essential: taking 100% responsibility for your own satisfaction, fulfillment, and happiness; and accepting your lover exactly as (s)he is and exactly as (s)he is not. <br/><br/>Now, your model of romantic love may look completely different, and mine will probably evolve. What I most want to say is: boldly look at the traditional model of romantic love and see it for what it is &#8211; a story, one possible (and flawed) story out of an infinite number of possible stories of how your love can go. You are free to generate a loving, mutually beneficial relationship exactly as you want it! And there are a mind-boggling number of people out there who would be a perfect match for you &#8211; don&#8217;t buy into the &#8220;will I ever meet my one true love?&#8221; illusion. <br/><br/>Shun the Crocodile Nun! Live a life you love.<br/><br/>==================================================<br/><br/>Man up, it's not the end of the world, and it's not the last time you'll suffer a broken heart. If you take this as poorly as you seem to be taking it in that first post, you're gonna f**k up your entire perception of love. Shake it off, move on, look ahead with optimism, there really is no alternative. You deal with it well, and allow this to improve the person you are, or you handle it poorly, and it brings negative change to who you are.</i></div>I just quoted this to quote this.]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[unzercharlie @ 7/24/2008 10:11:53 AM]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.plime.com/f/4737/1/atom0_3.rss#q21" /><id>295019</id><summary><![CDATA[Read this article by someone from the internet called Angela.

I found this article online, and now it hangs on my refridgerator.<br/><br/>==================================================<br/><br/><b>The Crocodile Nun</b><br/><br/>I just had a nap on the beach, and dreamed of a boy and girl on a blanket by the river&#8217;s edge. A giant crocodile dressed in a nun&#8217;s habit and little round gold wire glasses crawled up out of the river to bite the boy on the butt. <br/><br/>That&#8217;s a pretty good symbol for what&#8217;s causing you to suffer! A boy and a girl don&#8217;t feel free to simply BE with one another without the cartoon monster of habitual ways of thinking, religious and social training, and popular culture emerging from the depths of our unconscious and trying to bite them on the butt! <br/><br/>That Crocodile Nun is the traditional model of romantic love. But it&#8217;s not &#8220;real&#8221; or &#8220;true;&#8221; not anymore real or true than an infinite variety of other models. It&#8217;s a story made up by people, and it has really caught on only in the last 120 years or so &#8211; around the same time frame as Santa Claus and his magic sleigh. And it&#8217;s not the most empowering story ever written, that&#8217;s for sure! The story goes something like this: <br/><br/>You dream that one day fate will throw your one perfect mate into your path, and she will make you happy. You are sure that if that doesn&#8217;t happen, or if you pick the wrong woman by mistake or through lack of patience, you will be unhappy, unfulfilled, and unsatisfied. One day, a miracle happens and you meet a beautiful woman and you &#8220;fall in love&#8221;. You are &#8220;fated&#8221; to be together &#8211; you are &#8220;soul mates.&#8221; Your job is to make her fall in love with you, too. If you succeed, you &#8220;win&#8221; her and you live happily ever after. Your &#8220;love&#8221; will conquer all obstacles. You probably marry and procreate. (And if you fail to &#8220;win&#8221; her, you have blown your big chance, because she was your soul mate and every other woman you meet from now on will be only a pale, meager comparison &#8211; and you will punish those women for being pale, meager comparisons to the perfect woman!) <br/><br/>Now, once you have entered into happily ever after, you &#8220;owe&#8221; each other certain things &#8211; some stated and some unspoken things. If you fail to provide those things for each other, you are &#8220;betraying&#8221; one another. Sometimes you make promises to each other during a big commitment ceremony, and those promises are good only as long as they&#8217;re convenient for you, but they have huge repercussions if you get caught. And often one partner doesn&#8217;t realize that he owed the other a particular thing, but it&#8217;s his fault because he &#8220;owed&#8221; her the ability to just &#8220;know&#8221; that she needed it. Or one partner will retaliate against the other if she fails to provide a particular thing for him, and love will just &#8220;fade away&#8221; as he tries to &#8220;win&#8221; it again in another lover. And then both partners are angry and bitter and blaming, and society will side with one or the other, and the spawn of this union will grow up to re-live the same story, and so on and so on. You will clutch the pain forever and you will carry it with you into your future relationships. So will your kids. <br/><br/>Now, so many people are living out that story and supporting others in living it, that it&#8217;s easy to forget that it&#8217;s only a story, one of a gazillion possible models for romantic love.

I had started to call and text like a psycho, but there was no answer. she just wouldnt talk to me. <br/><br/>Around 945 she finally called me back. there was a tone in her voice that i could recognize as something bad, so i asked but she said it was nothing. i knew she was lying so i persisted. she finally told me that she was done, that she couldnt stand me anymore. and slowly everything hit me, all of her actions and words all shooting around in my head. everything all at once hit me like a ton of bricks. <br/><br/>I now sit here in front of my computer, phone by my side, waiting for just one little hope that she will call me or think of me and want to talk it out and make things work.<br/><br/>I am merely 17 years old and i already want my life to end. this is the worst time of my life. and things are going faster and faster. i have lost 14 pounds and have not managed to make any progress with her. im dying on the inside and would like to die from the outside.]]></content></entry></feed>
