What's on my mind...

I have many things I want to talk to you guys about that I cannot divide them in different posts :P

First and foremost, I am so happy for being here in this amazing country these past 2 years. They were a couple of the best years of my life. I met so many great people, I have been through so much here; good time, bad times, incredible times, nightmares and everything in between. I do not regrets and I feel I have learned so much from everything.

Thank you all you people that have been part of my life, people that were just passing through and people that showed up to stay... You have made my life better, you have made me a better person, and for that I will always be grateful :)

Thank you for you that always shows up here and allow yourself a few minutes to read my rants, please know that everything that I put up in this blog means the world to me :)

*Wipes away a couple stray tears...

Now, moving on to some laughter (hopefully)

Thursday night I went out with my girl Melina and a friend of hers from Costa Rica... A few beers and some vodka later we decide we should make a telenovela (soap opera)... well, at least the opening for it anyways... hehe!

So, we get to it and after my master editing and directing (ham ham! :P) this is the result:



Thanks to Melina and Maurice for playing along and for providing so much fun :)

"The wedding ring phenomenon"

It has been a while, but I am back :)

I am not going to come up with an excuse to not write here for this long, I simply felt I had nothing to say and was not ready to share the things I did.

I have a few things on my mind and I wanted to talk about them... I mean, rant about them is more like it :P

There is a phenomenon that occurs when you are involved in a relationship that I would like to discuss. I had heard about it from friends, but since it had been such a long time since I was in one, I had yet to experience it first hand.

I am going to name said phenomena as: "The wedding ring phenomena"

What's up with all these people that decide you are suddenly so very compelling the exact moment you find yourself in a monogamous relationship?

I mean, I kind of get that happening a lot to married men. Single women tend to gravitate towards them for the simple fact that since they are already in a committed relationship, they MUST be relationship material.

I said I KIND OF got it, not that I remotely agreed with it though. I mean, I know how hard the dating world/game is, but setting your sights on married men/women is never healthy.

Now, what about the weirdest part of this phenomenon? I mean, you don't really need a wedding ring for it to happen, that is just the name of it. You find yourself in a monogamous relationship and out of the sudden all of these people come out of the woodwork interested in you. Seriously, what's up with that?

Is there some sort of vibe a person exults by being in a couple? Is the attitude of nonchalance (usually, cheaters excluded) that attracts?

What about when these people that "appear" out of the blue are people you haven't seen in long while and out of nowhere they get to calling you?

Ok, time to get personal. I am asking this because I am actually trying to understand it. Currently I find myself in a monogamous relationship, very happy for that matter and these past almost two months, I have been hit on a few times (even by people I would never thought would), an ex has invited me to dinner and another ex has invited me to visit...

I admit to being flattered, but what the hell is up with that? Seriously...

I don't have an answer; I really just wanted to rant on it...

Please leave comments on the subject, I really appreciate it :)

Ps: Today is my 2-year aniversary in Israel... A post about it is coming soon...

Ps2: RIP Michael, You will be missed...
