Satiated.

Thanks, Straight Talk. You are wise, articulate and intelligent. Also kind.

I think I've just about glutted myself of opinions, advice and statistics. I am an English/Reading/Writing and Communications/Media/Journalism teacher by trade, so I obsessively research a topic until I can draw my own conclusions and test a certain thesis.

To wit: the worst relationship of my life ended about two years ago with a local, corn-fed Caucasion, and "the one that got away" with whom I still have a distant friendship happens to be Black. Go figure.

While there may be certain trends in life, to pay attention to the "norm" means to also exlude about half of the data from which the trend was identified.

So... for me, that means keeping my eyes open, as well as my heart, but my bank account and revolving door shut! : )

Thanks for being compelled enough to comment. If anything life shattering/chaning should happen, I will update. But for now, I think I'm going to sit with my emotions and look inward and upward for my answers.

But I welcome a good mental/philosophical spar any time. Don't be suprised if you see my two cents posted from time to time. But I am aware of this readership, so I may have to divorce myself from this energy for certain undisclosed periods...

Thanks again!
