A Life Without Passion is No Life At All
"A life without passion is no life at all," I mumbled to my date. He laughed over his frozen yogurt and said, "That sounds so cheesy, like a card." I smiled. He was right. I don't know if what I said is a quote from somewhere or if I read it on a card once, but I do know the words are true. I can't imagine anything without passion. Even fun for me, is something that has some passion.One of my pet peeves is people who lack passion. It makes me want to poke my own eye out when I talk to a man and he has no passion or depth to him. The center of my very being is passion. It's the reason I do everything.
I understand people become shy or may be a simple type of person. Even the shy person can find passion in their silence. You should be able to feel it in their look, their touch, their movements. When they do say something, even the smallest thing, it should evoke feelings that make you want to be around them more. When it comes to the simple man life should still be about awakening. Sometimes even in subtlety the most beautiful passions can be set on fire.
I am not saying you always have to be on the edge of your seat, about to set off on a great adventure, or make love like they do in the movies, but if you feel you lack passion, bring some spark to your table or pick up a new interest. Life should always be about absorbing new things, improving, learning, and being passionately happy. Some people may disagree and say my thoughts are childlike and only exist somewhere in a book, however does not everything we do stem from a desire? Such as, talking things out to repair your relationship.
That comes from the passion you feel for your mate or the desire to rekindle what was once there. If you had no passion for it, you would move on. Even staying around in a relationship, because you feel sorry for the person and would feel guilty for leaving has to be born out of some mad-passion.
Going to college, writing a blog, taking a trip, throwing a party, buying a gift, chasing your dreams... these are all things derived from a want to please your hungry soul. I may sound silly like some 1960's hippie song, however I can promise you without passion you will fail. If you don't have some, find it... and if you don't believe me, try living a life without one.What is your passion?

money, alcohol, women, and knowledge.
not in that order, though. i'd probably put knowledge first. cause that leads to more money, which leads to alcohol, which leads to women.
this post wasn't really related to dating, by the way. (not that i didn't enjoy it.)
@TheNotoriousGOD@xanga - you dreamed about being a rapstar with big bootied hos in your video huh

if the person stays and feels sorry/guilty, then it is desperation and/or fear of being alone. I also think it is because they are indifferent and stay just because it is what they are used to, but they wouldn't care either way if the person breaks up with them or not. they seem more like cowards, who don't want to initiate the breakup. mad passion seems more like deranged exes, who seek revenge, so they stalk and kill their exes and new lovers. that type of passion gives the non-lethal ones a bad rep. I wouldn't recommend mad passion. it gives the coroner's office more business, but it isn't that great for people, who have a passion for life and to live:D
"Even staying around in a relationship, because you feel sorry for the person and would feel guilty for leaving has to be born out of some mad-passion."
You are very wise.
So few people understand that a person who is desperately and madly in love can easily be mistaken by a shallow person for someone who is equally shallow but just generally "desperate"...
In my opinion, it's the most painfully ironic thing in the realm of modern romance... that is, the vast majority's inability to understand that if they feel sorry for someone or would feel guilty for leaving them, it's because they should... It's like society is at war with the natural (and positive/healthy) adaptations that the human brain acquired over millions of years and that exist wholly for our benefit.
Some people will never understand that feelings don't exist for mere "reasons"... they all have very important purposes, not only socially/emotionally, but for things like memory and "higher" cognition as well.
Algorithms are my passion.

@P0RCELA1N_D0LL@xanga - hahaha i thought you were going to link to this song, since i said the whole knowledge thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQQb1f1vTbI (for the record, i think that song is terrible.)
@T3hZ10n@xanga - people who can not just program, but can understand the algorithms they use and create new efficient ones, make a shit ton of money. they make even more money if they can do the math, too. (i know because it's what i do.) it's certainly a valuable skill.
though i am told that you spend your time sitting on wikipedia trying to figure out time travel, if my source wasn't lying or kidding...
@TheNotoriousGOD@xanga - Your source was not lying or kidding, but that's not to say the information you received accurately described what was occurring in reality for more than a few hours at most.
I am far too dynamic to definitively put a label on what I do with my time. My interests tend to be very cursory and transient in nature, though I describe them in great detail, often giving the appearance of being far more fixated on things (like time travel) than I really am, as I am working on many projects at the same time, each one having prerequisites in seemingly very contrasting fields of study.
It was biological immortality I was researching, by the way (which there are, in-fact, organisms that are biologically immortal). Not time travel... but thanks for mentioning that (and I am being sincere when I say it). It's interesting to see what people take from what I say when they only hear what they want to.
music.. fitness.. working out daily twice a day.. eating food.. cooking.. and jay
listening to all my r and b fav singers which is jay.. joshua adams.. etc
In life, I want to write and express who I am.
In love, I think passion is important, but more important is empathy. I wouldn't be able to love a girl who can quote the most romantic prose and poems to me constantly, but doesn't understand who I am.
