So, tonight I have no complaint.

I'm enjoying life. So little wonder that I'm happy. Even when I complain, I'm happy. Because I have the freedom to complain. I guess I'm a free spirit. Essentially, a live-and-let-live guy. I tell how I'd like the world to be. Knowing full well that I can't change the big picture. But knowing that I can adjust and accept life on those terms. I can pick and choose to some extent. Within my own little reality. I'm able to fall in love and to establish a loving relationship with another human being. That's fulfillment within itself. I also know that some day my life will end. I'll be gone from Earth. I've learned to accept that fact. And still be happy. Knowing that I can't have everything I might desire. But for the moment, I have happiness. And the moment seems like forever. So, tonight I have no complaint. --Jim Broede

I really like being me. Nothing wrong with that, is there? I'd rather be me than you. --Jim

I like it that I have some detractors. Makes life more interesting. --Jim

Broede's Broodings said...

I guess I'm saying that to some extent I like being disliked. It's a sign that I'm reaching people. That my approach is working. --Jim

I like it that people tell me what they don't like about me. Even if I don't publish it. I still read it. It gives me a great deal of insight. Not only about myself. But about you. In a sense, we are sort of psychoanalyzing each other. I have the advantage. Because I'm more perceptive than most, if not all of you. --Jim

Advantage? No, I don't believe you do. You have no idea who anyone is that posts. Yet we know your whole life of lies

Broede's Broodings said...

Now be nice. I'm very perceptive. I know you quite well. You are silly. And hooked on my blog. That's why you keep coming back.--Jim

Broede's Broodings said...

My lies are my truths. --Jim

Broede's Broodings said...

You like me. Admit it. Something captivating and unusual about me. That's the attraction. I'm not ordinary. I'm different. --Jim

Broede's Broodings said...

Yes, I'm a romantic idealist, a free-thinker, a liberal and a lover. That's a very nice combination. And I even have my own blog. To exude my happiness, my philosophy, my good humor. --Jim

Broede's Broodings said...

Some of you pretend to dislike me, when you really like me. That seems odd. Maybe you're just shy. --Jim

Broede's Broodings said...

Maybe it's just that you feel rejected. And that hurts. So you say you didn't like me in the first place. --Jim

Broede's Broodings said...

I think some of you are jealous of my girlfriend. --Jim

Broede's Broodings said...

When it comes to a girlfriend, I'm very choosey. Nothing but the best for me. And believe me, I have the best. --Jim

Broede's Broodings said...

I reject all snob ladies. They fall way short of my high standards. --Jim

Ok, this is silly but gonna cave in and do it anyway?

(You couldn't tell me apart from anyone else walking down the street, truthfully I guess I am hooked. Its like a murder mystery, see whom you try to kill yet they always come back and bite you in the ass *hence all the posts you refuse to post*)

(Well jimmy, I can't say I am jealous of your *so called* girlfriend. You see I have a very loving partner. My partner is intelligent, warm, caring, independent person. My partner is human and whole)

(Seems to me you are guessing again. Could you enlighten us with anything you know about anyone you call a snob lady? I am 100% positive you do not have me correct. I guarantee you are 100% wrong about me.)

Broede's Broodings said...

Don't assume that I put you in the same category as the guttersnipes. You sound like a decent and happy woman. At least this time around. Have I ever been critical of you? --Jim

Broede's Broodings said...

By the way, I think anybody with a happy marriage is probably a basically happy being. That offsets other disappointments in life. Chances are someone with an unhappy marriage or relationship is a bit ornery. Maybe even jealous of others. I see it all the time. --Jim

Broede's Broodings said...

By golly, anonymous, I sound just like your partner. Intelligent, warm, caring, independent, human and whole. --Jim

Broede's Broodings said...

Confident and handsome, too. --Jim

Broede's Broodings said...

And to top it off, I have a sense of humor. --Jim

Broede's Broodings said...

I'm happy to see you "caved in." You did it in a reasonably nice way. You set an example for others. You are welcome to criticize me and challenge my stands on issues and even poke fun at me. As long as you don't get downright insulting. Only people who use their real names are allowed to lambaste me unmercifully. --Jim

Broede's Broodings said...

And believe me, I am no swinger. Just the contrary. Humorous intent only. --Jim

Broede's Broodings said...

I am often misinterpreted. Aren't we all? That's the peril of life. Language isn't quite as precise as we imagine. Words have variable meanings. --Jim
