Butterflies in the belly

-

I can recall the butterflies in the belly feeling.  Decades ago. 

Now I just call it anxiety based upon a lack of experience.

Jaded?  Maybe?  But I have more enjoyment of people from all walks of life and especially women than I ever did decades ago.   For one, the women that I meet now - we both have experience and stories.   We've both been through the butterflies.  We are now Tom Brady in his 10th Superbowl, or Liz Taylor in her 7th wedding.   (Yes, those are really two really horrible examples, because Tom Brady still claims to get the butterflies in the opening snap at a Superbowl.)

Secondly, I know what to expect - acceptance and connection in some areas or maybe many areas, but I'm not going to entertain thoughts of "is she the one".  If she is the one - then let her be the one.  And she'll be the one without my imagining it over every woman I meet.

Sans the anxiety, I still get "that feeling" when looking a woman I love.   It's a light heartedness.  Its a rushing swirl through the mind of a vortex of love, fascination and excitement. 

Call it butterflies if you must.  I want that again and I want it forever.

La Celosa Pasión de Mi Amor Cubano.

 With MANIPULATION the Communist ideology infiltrated various levels of Cuban society.   With INTIMIDATION the Communists methodically silenced the dissenting voices of those who chose to remain in Cuba while freedom loving hearts and minds, sacrificed materially to fly, float or in some cases sink to their final resting place, beneath the shark filled straight North of Havana and South of the Florida Keys. And with the removal of Cuba's most able minds and pure hearts, the Communists began their DOMINATION of those who remained, removing or controlling every facet of lives of each individual and society as a whole.     Removed from the personhood of each remaining Cuban were truths that we as American hold as self evident, and endowed by our Creator as inalienable - Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.  Removed from the Life of most remaining on the island was the right to chose an education profession or employer, the right to own property, or...

Four Letter Words - AMPs - Part I

"AMPS" or Asian Massage Parlors are this week's distraction from all of "whatever else is supposed to really matter" From The New York Times: Accused Gunman Had Visited Massage Parlors He Targeted, Police Say The suspect, who was a customer at two of the spas in the Atlanta area that were attacked this week, spent time in a rehab clinic for a self-described sexual addiction. Sadly, the authors of these articles, know little of massage parlors, the range of human interaction that goes on in them, nor do they understand the states of mind of the partakers, before, during and after. I need not read past the headline, to know the forboden FOUR LETTER WORD in such a NYT article.  It's the same word often uttered in the pornographic solicitations by it's purported purveyors.  The word is abusively trafficked in many forms, associated with worst and best of human emotions and experiences.  The word is a harlot.  She is bought cheaply at great cost.  She is spla...

DOYALIKEIT - Te Gusta?

They turn the head slightly to the left or right and then look back at you with side cast eyes, raised eyebrows and a sly smile.   "doyalikeit?" delicately quick steps from the tongue, between the teeth and lips. It's quick.  It's light.  It's perfected by by the Latin women educated in Castilian Spanish and English. El Viejo Gringo (that's me - EVG) has perfected this phrase.  I give right back to them.  Quickly, and with a wink, nod and deep dash of testosterone. And trust me - THEYLIKEIT. And DIDHELIKEIT?   Le gustó absolutamente ....
