Triumph of the Heart

[editor's note: This was written yesterday]

So today is Valentine's Day. I guess I suppose to do it up with the Greek tonight, but I decided just to keep things low key. To me, today is just like any other day. I have tennis this evening but I plan on meeting with the Greek for a late dinner. I have already told him of my dislike of flowers. I don't like a gift that will end up dying a couple days later. If find it to be a bad symbolic gesture. So my gift to him will be ... a mixed CD.

Yeah it is a bit hokey, but it is simple and it can be very effective in conveying a message. I have to wisely choose 8-10 songs to express who I feel about our relationship thus far. I am still going through my iPod and mp3 CD archives to find the right songs. I will post my selections here in a couple days.

V-Day Mixtape 2006

The Beginning ...

Beautiful Stranger - Madonna
Possibly Maybe - Bjork
When I think of you - Janet Jackson

The Middle ...

I'm So Stupid - Madonna
Sooner or later - Madonna
Soon as I get home - Faith Evans

The End ...

I Still Love You - 702
The Body That Loves You - Janet Jackson (one of my person favorite songs)
Caught up in the Rapture - Anita Baker
We Belong Tgether - Mariah Carey (I know it is trite, but it is a good song.)

There is more Madonna songs that I would have like, but he likes Madonna. So that was my gift to him.

Dream stuff ...

I had a strange dream last night. After hearing about the snowstorm in the Northeast it made me kind of home sick because I am missing the snow down here in Dallas. So last night I ended up having a dream where I ended up leaving Dallas for a school in the northeast. I ended up sitting next to Lindsay Lohan on the bus, and while she denied having a eating disorder she would wave her stick thin arm in my face. Speaking of my face ... I ended up telling Lindsay that I fought in Iraq and I spoke with a weird lisp. Not a gay lisp, but a lisp like my jaw was blown off and then reattached. So we get to the "school" and I end up being a waiter in a restuarant. The End. Weird, huh?

Tennis stuff ...

I am playing tonight but I am not sure if anyone will show up. Do people actually go out on Valentine's Day or day they wait until the weekend to celebrate? I will post my results later in the evening.

edit: I won the match 6-4, 6-7, 1-0. We ended early the first game of the third set was an all or nothing game. If a full match isn't completed it is the number of told games that determines the winner. I was up by point so we had chance to tie; luckily I won the last game. My serve was awful but it managed to get me out of some holes. I was serving for the match at 5-4 in the second set when my serve fell apart. I need to work on that.

Other stuff ...
