All right… So I can think of nothing interesting to blog about. It’s pretty bad when even your pretend world isn’t interesting any more.
No Elvis sightings in the grocery store, no more magic corner, (although I haven’t tried it out yet this year) no more disappearing boxes of poison. Don’t worry it wasn’t for Ben.
I spoke with him and he definitely isn’t into prostituting himself out, SO I need to come up with something else.
I would say I will stop posting until something interesting happens, but then I might not ever get to post again. Can you tell I’m being a BIG baby. I know my life can be fun… I mean we had a pretty good time this weekend. Walking the beach and hitting the Seven Bridges park… I thought I would spare you the pictures of that one, for now, since my blog has been going photo crazy lately.
I know let’s do a quick Poll…
How many of you believe in SOUL MATES?
Who believes that they have found theirs?
BEWARE HYPETHETICAL QUESTION BELOW.
Assuming you believe in a SOUL MATE and that you haven’t already found him/her, if you had a chance to find yours and spend a week with him/her and then you would never be able to see or talk to him/her again, would you do it?
OR would you rather live out the rest of your life never meeting him/her?
I’d better clarify that this is writing research… I’m not searching… So no offers… Although I’m thinking Demi Moore had the right idea when she took the million dollars from Robert Redford…
Anyone have a million and a Robert Redford lying around? Actually if there’s a Demi out there for Ben I might be able to convince him…

i have met mine, and if i could only spend a week with her, then never see her again…
it depends if there is indeed an afterlife.
i would curl up and die in such an eventuality, which would be a good thing…
as long as i got to see her again in the after life.
Summer time, and the living is easy….
I always find, that when I have “bloggers block” (patent pending) it is always easier to just go take some photos.
Though recently my blog has turned into a massive photo blog, I am returning to writing with a fever.
I have things to say, issues to babble…
Maybe you could take up the photo baton, and run with it for a while, and I’ll start babbling about the world.

i do and i have…
hmmmm if i hadn’t and i could for a week and never again… hmmmm
nope…
I have encountered soul mates… and some lasted a week, others a month…. the feeling of soul mate I’ve had on various occasions, fleeting meetings with people over 14 hours… where such connections are made.
They are left pure… the thoughts I mean.
I believe a soul mate can be created, with time and patience… though I also believe that there is a true soul mate out there for everyone. The trouble is, we are usually too fcuked up at the time, to find them.
In terms of you hypothetical question…
I would say, it is best left as it is… do not venture unless you can have more than the week… otherwise you will be heart broken.
as long as we had great sex the entire week…i say.. HELL YEAH! bring it!
j/k
I’m not really sure I believe there is one true soul mate for everyone. I think you have to make a soul mate. If I did believe, though, I would rather never meet mine than to have him for one week only. Whoever said it’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all was full of crap.
Yes, I believe in soul mates. My own is my homosexual friend Gary. We’d have been been so perfect for each other relationship wise, if it wasn’t for the sexuality issue. Spending a week with him and never seeing him again, no way. Give me his sporadic friendship over his absence forever more, anyday
Yeah and I missed the entire hypothetical.(slaps own stupid head) Still no way, why would anyone want to find that special someone, have them all themselves for a week then lose them forever. I’d rather take the cowards way and never know!
Yes, I have met my soul mate; and I married him, but I think you knew that. And if I’d never be able to see him again, I’d still want to have met him… it’s that “better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all” thing. At least then I would know that the rest of those losers in college weren’t what I might have thought they were at the time. Lesson learned; and things are MUCH better now.
I am jaded. soul mates?? I do believe that there is someone meant for each person…I believe I finally met mine, took me long enough. one week only? that sounds more like a fling, lol.
Do I believe in soul mates? Possibly, there could be. There was a time where I would of answered yes, but anymore I don’t know if there is a truth to soul mates. But if there was a soul mate for me then I would rather meet him even if it were for only a week.
Yes, I believe. Yes, I’d take the week. I do think that you can meet soulmates but sometimes not at the right time or place & then wonder what might have been. Also, “soulmates” might not always be the right life partner. I love your photos – I’m always ready for more. Peace
You know, I’m not really sure if I believe in soul mates or not. To be honest, I haven’t really done any research on the subject. I do believe that God brings certain people into our lives at certain times though.
I’ve told my wife that I’m so glad we’re married and I don’t have to go through the “dating” thing again. Kim & I will grow old together.
I don’t believe in soul mates. Men and women think so differently. It seems that women have more in common with women and men have more in common with men. So as far as a soul mate I think it would be more of a best friend thing than love. But if there was that special someone who I connected with completely in every way and I only had a week to spend with them, I would pass. Because then I would be tormented the rest of my life thinking about this person.And no one would messure up to that so life would be depressing. My husband and I love each other but don’t have a lot in common. He likes to hunt-I hate hunting. I love antiques-he hates antiques. You get the picture.
I do believe we all have one true soul mate and that there are many others out there that we are compatible with and can be very happy with. You never really know if you have already met your soul mate as a passer by, a stranger you did not notice or if it is the person in the car passing you by on the highway. If you know what I mean. I don’t think Chris is my “true” soul mate. I hate to say it because I do love him very much! If I had the chance to find mine for only a week and never see him again, I’m not sure I would be brave enough to go through the pain of losing a part of your soul! However, if I was not already involved I just might talk myself into taking that risk! I wouldn’t want to hurt any one else though, lol… I feel like I am getting to deep into the subject!
To have only one soul mate on earth and never meet her? I’m glad that’s not the world I live in! btw – do you know my friends in Petosky? (HS)
no, i don’t believe in a soulmate.
but, yes, i’d take the week.
I would prefer to spend my time with another person… I don’t want to be old and alone. Skooter may not be my soul mate, but we get along just fine… and I am glad we have each other… so I guess I don’t really believe in soul mates.
RYC: I hope you are right about the co-pay.
Hugs, Tricia
hello
I have yet to meet my soul mate. Sure I’ve had moments where I thought I had found that “one.” Eventually I sober up and remember that I don’t have a soul. All jokes aside though, I’d rather have the one week with my soulmate and then never see her again, than never meet her at all. At least you would have the one week to remember.
i think i have my soulmate now….at least i sure hope so.
Would that have anything to do with love at first site? Because I am a strong believer in that.
I think I have a soul mate…. but he didn’t like me. LOL!
I, assuming all of the above, would so take the week. Nothing like a week of paradise than a lifetime of regret.
Soul Mates??
Nope.
cynical me
I spend a week a year with my soul mates. They’re all WWII veterans and I take them for Jeep rides.
in this day and age I think soul “mates” is more like it people date so much and try every kind of person and I’m sure more than just one fits…..
I’m with OwenHiggins… but then again… do soul mates have to be the opposite sex?… I think I’ve met women friends that were my soul mates…. true friends… true to the end….
wow, that is difficult decision… hmm, I think I will choose not to spend the week because then it will save me from a lot of heart pain. At least I can move on and maybe find another person..
I have met and married my soul mate but I don’t believe that there is someone for everyone. I’ve known too many people who died young and too many people who died old and alone (speaking as far as having a soul mate). I was a teen when a friend died and I was shocked that she could die so young and not grow old to get married and have kids. Reality sucks. I don’t think I would want the week, you can’t fully miss what you’ve never had.
What were your answers?
Ummmm No ~ I dont believe in soul mates. However, a week alone with someone – doing whatever? Hummm I might be tempted. Of course they would have to be pretty special
Not picky…Nope not I.
Interesting – I just did a quiz last night and tried to post it … but, it wouldnt post correctly
The Quiz was on Soul Mates…..I will try again tonight….I think the outcome…was that I was a realist…Is that a good thing?
Soul mates – gonna have to say I don’t think so. I’m married to an amazing man – I can’t imagine being married to anyone else, and he seems to so perfectly ‘get me’ after 5 years of marriage – and our personalities are so complimentary and we love each other like crazy. But I tend to think if two people are really going to commit to making it work, then it can work to some degree. And if a partner dies, then perhaps the other will find another compatible mate – probably a very diffrerent kind of person than the first spouse. It’s just life – crazy, and twisty.
LOL ANG! you just make me laugh a nice hearty chuckle EVERYTIME! Okay, and soul mates…..mmmmmmm, how sad is this : i have NEVER thought about it! LOL! Have a great day!
Wow! Tough question. Yeah, I’d do it. I’d rather have a week than nothing at all.
As for whether or not soul mates exist, I believe in “multiple possibilities”. There being just ONE person for you in the whole world seems too narrow a view for me. What if that person dies or chooses someone else? The concept of “free will” negates the whole “one soul mate” theory.
Morning, met mine in the 6th grade and we have been together ever since. My life would be over without her.
A week of perfection is better than never finding it.
Shack
maybe like souls…
RYC: I love the study of biblical numbers. It’s so precise and logical. I suppose I need that right now. lol
1) Yes I believe in soul mates and I believe you can have more than one. I think that there are people walking this earth who are the perfect soul mate for various things – love, friendship, support, encouragement, a connection. I don’t know that I believe in having just one Soul Mate….but having said that… 2) Yes I believe I have found mine. I was lucky enough to find him when I was young and I have never once doubted it even when we hit the toughest of tough times I knew he was the one that I was meant to spend my life with and that his daughter, our daughter in heaven and our daughter here on earth were all meant to be a part of me. 3) I would have given anything I had at the time when we first met just to have one moment with him even if that was all it ever could be so yes, even if I knew it would not last but that I could have one week with him, one minute with him, I would take, live it, and never look back with regret. I guess for the past 14 years that is what I have done…afterall, I am not guaranteed one more minute on this earth let alone one more week or one more year or one more decade. I am thankful for each second I have had with him and I would do it all over again…no regrets!
Angi is a lot better than Demi Moore.
We met in the first grade. (Maybe it was kindergarten – I can’t remember back that far). I had a secret crush on her for years. I wanted that week, let me tell you.
I really don’t think there is some mystical one person so to speak. But if there is, I can’t imagine it being anyone but Angi.
I will echo the comments of my lovely bride above (she’s up there somewhere), to say that I, also, believe in soulmates and have found mine! And if I never get to see her again, I would be crushed but I would be happy to know that she had made my life better than I could have ever expected. In addition to making me a better man!
I don’t believe in soul mates. I think that there is more than one person out there that a person could happily spend the rest of their lives with and fall in love with. As much as I love my fiance (I might love him even more than I love chocolate!) and I know I’d be crushed if anything ever happened to him or if we split up…I also know that in time, I’d move on and hopefully fall in love again. And I’d hope for the same for him.
Soul mates- Yes
Have I found mine, I don’t think so~
The week…YES- I would rather have a week of happiness than a lifetime of nothing special……
I dont know if I think there is such a thing, we meet tons of people throughout our lives I think if there is one person, would it have to be sexual, I dont think so couldnt your soul mate be someone man or woman that you connect with on a profound level
Euh..Angie, are you searching a soul mate or one million dollars ? it’s not so clear ! LOL The both is not impossible.. Why has a soul mate to be poor ?
Thanks you Angie, I learned new words today like “soul mate”… and I though about it .. I ask me if the guy who refuse to talk with me since a week can really be my soul mate…
Yours
RYC: Oh yes, the teen years are a blast a minute… oh wait, make that a DRAMA a minute. Just know that when your cute, adorable boys hit 13-14 years old; you’re gonna want to kill them. Luckily, the feeling passes; and they eventually tell you that you were right. And then you can snicker uncontrollably later in life when they have kids of their own!
I believe in marrriage for life but I do not know about a “soul mate”.My husband is my favorite person to be with and we get along beautifully,if there was “a soul mate ” somewhere that I have yet to meet I do not want to meet him , unless I am widowed. I would never want to hurt my husband.
1) I believe in mating.
2) All my friends are soulmates.
Hypo:
I am the wrong person to be asking that. The older I get the more I tend to think that there is no 1 person for anyone.
Yep
Yes I believe in soul-mates. Although I didn’t marry mine. The guy I felt was my soul mate (and he felt the same), had a wandering soul. He told me he knew I wanted to settle down and have children.
But he didn’t want to be with me until he was sure he could settle down and make it forever.
I didn’t wait- and he was the one to cry at my wedding.
nough rambling.
Good question… because I thought I had one that probably isn’t. So yes I would like to meet her, so as to know true love and loss.
I do believe in soul mates, however, I don’t believe that there is just one per person. I mean that there may be 18 (or whatever number) soul mates in the universe for me, and if I’m extremely lucky, I may cross paths with one of them in my lifetime.
Now, if I had the chance to spend a week with my soul mate versus never meeting him, I would take that week and cram it full of memories. Kind of like meeting my babies. Even if I only got to hold them for an hour, I’d take that hour versus never getting to hold them at all.
I am a true believer. I married my soul mate. We were highschool sweetharts and went our seperate ways for a while..he went into the Marines and married someone else, I married (a couple times-ugh-live and learn) and then–Chris and I got back together… I had always told friends and family that if I had the chance to be with him I would…We never got over each other..We finish each others sentences–think with one brain sometimes–I can’t imagine being with anyone else…He is my best friend.
