Article from Salon.com (by Ann Marlowe ) 2003 Oct 27| An interesting article that cuts thru the romance of sex and hints at some cultural shifts. This may not be the appropriate forum, but I think it certainly has implications on modern notions of romance and love. |
Imagery 2003 Sep 27 Cafe 2003 Jun 12 Babe - Please Don't Forget... 2003 Feb 12 re-run 2002 Dec 19| Gosh, this sounds like every other piece I have submitted. I am sensing a pattern here. |

dancing in technicolor 2002 Aug 13 Nightswimming (by REM) 2002 Aug 04| Since I am blank, I rather choose to pull a John Cusak (High Fidelity) and describe something, through song, autobiographically. This is the year 1995 - full of regret. |

All Dried Up 2002 Feb 08 These Days (by Jackson Browne) 2002 Feb 05| I think I like Nico's version better. I just wanted to offer this as a thanks to Kirk for the Front Page Pick and express my take on love and romance these days. |

Winter Love (by Robyn Hitchcock) 2002 Jan 07| Speaking of snow...this is a great tune that addresses both snow and love! Robyn is the greatest. He recorded this song when I was only 9 - but his style is still so very cool. |
Time does not bring relief; you all have lied (by Edna St. Vincent Millay ) 2002 Jan 05| I really enjoy her work. This is a particular favorite - the last line is a perfect example of WHY a site like this exists! |

The Darkest Night 2001 Dec 20 Naughty, but Nice 2001 Dec 17 Limp (by Fiona Apple) 2001 Dec 17| A perfect example of what I would write, if I had her talent! This is what happens after the romance is long gone. |

Unfortunate (by Rupert Brooke ) 2001 Dec 09| Another post, from the pen of a true poet, that captures my thought better than I could myself. |
Self Pity (by D. H. Lawrence) 2001 Dec 09| After another Blenderite posted a Lawrence piece, I couldn't get him out of my head. I read this years ago and thought it fitting right now. I find it fits best in the " Love Lost" catagory. |
Oh Katy! 2001 Dec 08| This is about love - not exactly romance. I just spent a week with my family in Nashville and my 5 year old niece brings me such joy. This is her and she is my heart. |
Apologia (by Oscar Wilde) 2001 Dec 01| I thought that after today's strife, I should offer truce to the Blender and be productive. However, Oscar captures my sentiment better than I ever could. |

Simple Rejection of Your Offer, in Triplicate 2001 Oct 28 What it feels like for a girl (by Madonna ) 2001 Oct 26| I think that what most draws men to women (or women to other women) is the mystique of being a girl. That must be the single most powerful weapon we have - and this song is a fine tribute to the wonder of woman. |
You even Sang to Me 2001 Oct 26 Rodeo Dreams and Jell-O Surprise 2001 Oct 15| I know the difference 'tween their and they're - you just can't tell by my last post! |

Tale of a Jew and one smitten Gentile 2001 Oct 11| This is a personal story - a bit wordy with detail, but how I wish I could fill in the blanks of years that I would gladly tell if anyone cared!

No Room to Grow 2001 Oct 09 Territorial Pissings (repost) 2001 Oct 07| I submitted, then realized I needed to make some changes. I really liked this one - so I wanted to put it back up on the page. THANKS Kirk! |
