Telimena 01-11-2003, 11:58 PM and a great curiosity that you aroused (is it just that what you aroused ??) it seems necessary to open a little window thru which we might see more of you. If you would agree, of course, you know you'd make many ladies here very happy, myself including..
I would drive to Philadelphia and sit with you in some tawern, sipping wine and listening to you being smart. I would look at you and see if you are real; I would touch the top of your hands with my fingertips. That is so revealing for me, as a crystal bowl for a psychic reader.. But I will not do that, because you'd beat me in any discussion easily, and who needs to feel a loser... Again let's say that it is my limited ability to express myself in English..
Anyway, we seem to be really curious about you, Brandon. How it is possible that being so young you are able to see, analyze, feel, understand, sense.. how is that happening? Was there something or somebody in your life that trigerred the explosion of all your senses - or you were just born this way? Do you have such an extensive experience in intimate relationships (including the subject of fisting and gloves..)? I found it hard to believe because you seem to be sensitive and selective. Why are you now "looking"... what happened to the Love of Your Life???
Are you willing to let us do a vivisection, to learn - like Da Vinci did... You are definitely confident enough, the question is, would you agree to post the answers here?
Your posts are not only nicely written, funny and open minded, but they also make me feel like you know everyone already for a long time, like you are speaking directly.. So, stop blushing; you should get used to admiration already.. and get to work..
Please, when your body is tired and your mind is still on allert - let it formulate some answers, share yourself a little with us here; that's one of the 3 things we cannot now live without..
And what proves it? Not only Nessa's mariage proposal, but also my sitting here at 1 AM and wishing that I had a scalpel to cut you open and see WHY...
You can, of course, figure out that I wouldn't hurt a fly.. unless it would be a nasty one..
Good Day, Brandon

SnowPrincess 01-12-2003, 12:27 AM hehehe Telimenia,
Anybody remember Joey? Jason? AJ?
Wonder what happened to them :confused:
How about young pleaser? Yes the woman on her have had lots of very nice males coming through, thru the years :cool:
What a cool site.
Telimena 01-12-2003, 09:17 AM Brandon, I am so grateful... But right now I have only few seconds. .. I have to catch my breath, wipe away these tears, stop feeling moved and pretend I am quite fine.. ' cause I have to go now.
Thank you for now and thank you for opening the door for more questions. I'll be back soon.. to open that book on maybe - another page...
Telimena
HadleyManassas 01-12-2003, 04:39 PM Brandon, as an OW who has 3 sons, 25, 23, 16 (who are open to me dating YM but who are working, doing well, making it in school etc.),I have taught them about alcoholics...to avoid them...I hope sincerely, and feel strongly that you have learned something about those addicted to alcohol that you have known. They don't change. They do argue. They do fight. They can hurt our pocket books, our hearts, our bodies. Unfortunately, 'Caren' hasn't learned yet that no matter how much we love them, they won't stop raging unless they decide to undergo treatment and dry out/either thru AA or thru a treatment facility. A little intervention here, Brandon, if you are still living with Caren, leave her. Go to a shelter, check in (it is like living in a hotel sometimes), get a job if you don't already have one, save some bucks, and go back to your home state. Look for your new lady love there. Don't waste more time living with someone that you are not a match for. It will only get worse. And we would all like for you to be happy and stable by next year...if I misread some things, and you are our of Caren's home, then I am sorry I misread. But if you are not out of Caren's home, please leave. Mike won't get any better, Caren won't get any better, living off someone doesn't get better, and as a 22 yr old male, you need to support yourself. If you want to be a writer, go hire on as a reporter for a newspaper, magazine, journal, radio station, tv station . Use your talents, Brandon, but don't be hurt or used again or put yourself in a vulnerable situation where you are in either physical or mental harms way. And that is advice from a mom and a teacher. I wish you the best. Many of us have been there, but all of us that got out had someone tell us to get out asap. Yes, Philly is a place full of hard azzes...who do look on polite sweetness as weakness. Go back to your home town. If you already left, more power to you... Hadley
Telimena 01-12-2003, 05:55 PM Firstly, I do like Niall's post very much and I did state so couple of times, asking him to continue. I wish he'd show up here more often; it is a pleasure to see young men of such an intellect - and handsome!!! I am sure that his story would also be very wellcomed and read with a great interest. The question is, would he be willing to share it with us???
I didn't have a chance to meet here the guys mentioned by Snow Princess; it was probably before I joined the forum.. I was able to see few King's posts and was enchanted with.. I did like many other guys responses as well, and yes, many of these young men would win easily every contest with the guys much more "experienced" ( read only as: older).
I have noticed that Forum's reactions to Brandon's post were similar to mine. Very positive, curious, well.. a line to the cold shower was formed , we've even got a marriage proposal and a public statement that he "gets to me" (Nessa..) lol. etc. etc.
The way Brandon writes indicates great sensitivity, subtleness, educated language, deep understanding of some human behaviours and limitations. And what stunned me even more was his reponse to the post about gloves and fisting.. I then decided that maybe.. maybe .. since he is so open, he would tell us more about himself... Because he is ONLY 22 - for God's sake, where all that comes from in such a young fellow???
I am sorry, Brandon, if even for a moment you felt any pressure and/or being put on the spot. I emphasized, that it is solely your decision, if you would, if you agree etc. YOU DID - and thank you very, very much!!!
Your answer exceeded greatly my expectations and thank you for taking the time and opening yourself to such an extend. It is precious gift from you and will be remembered.
I see that you had plenty opportunities to learn by observation and participation in life's many aspects. You say, that sensuality is something that one has or doesn't. I would add the same with regard to the sensitivity and ability to soak up like a sponge.. and selectively... That is the clue... One can be everywhere, see and experience everything and leave with nothing. Some other human being will absorb, inhale, make mental notes, analyze, digest, you name it.. I love that in people, I envy such abilities, I am drawn to people like that with my mouth open.. and curiosity rising..
You said that at certain point you planted yourself firmly into your own world and it didn't matter what was the "formal" status of yours at that place at that time. You were content... and not depressed. It amazes me, how could you accomplish that and not to fall apart.. how strong and good hearted you also were with Terry .. pardon me, you were just a kid.. and soo mature and responsible... Scores for you, Brandon...
You also say that I might overestimate you.. It is possible; there might be hundred other people like you here - I just didn't have a chance to see them speaking the way you do. It is also possible because I don't know you.. as well as it is possible that I uderestimate you... No white and black here.. subjective point of view is not necessary the only right one... But after reading your answers I am convinced that I was right...
Brandon,dear, there was no sarcasm in my saying that I'd like to listen to you being smart. It supposed to sound that I would like to listen to you knowing that it wan't be boring, because you ARE smart... And the tawern - not a choice, just a word.. to make it seem cassually..
There is something else that I would like to say.. an impression of mine with regard to love in your life. I wouldn't like to do it here and - if you don't mind, I'd send you PM on that ..
What a day... You know, I am such a big girl, but also am in luck of words sometimes when face to face with people..
Have a great day, Brandon.. and don't stop writing.. please,
Telimena
Shaggy999 01-12-2003, 05:56 PM Holy crap, wow. That's a lot of writing. I tried to read through that but I got lost halfway through. Sounds like a whole lot of crap you've had to go through. I've gone through a lot of crap similiarly, not in relationships or anything. But pretty crappy nonetheless.
You know what's really weird? There's two Brandons' on this board...... lol (I'm Brandon too).
Jo-Admin 01-12-2003, 10:23 PM Brandon, You did a good job with the writing even with being under a little bit of pressure and being put on the spot. :)
It seems you have had a lot of ups and downs in your life, and you have handled it all, accepted it and kept moving on. Good for you!
So, here's to hoping for that beautiful maiden to arrive on a spendid white horse.....and that she sweeps you off your feet.
HadleyManassas 01-13-2003, 06:03 PM with this woman's boyfriend who just might one day decide he hates you being there....sorry, Brandon, that is not a safe environment. He is a loose cannon. Get a roommate that is temporary...look in the paper and get a roommate to split some room rates with not to mention a job that pays well or better than based on car wrecks. Someone needs to read you the riot act of life, Brandon. Nobody comes along on 'white horses' to bail us out...independence and free thinking that leads to self-supporting efforts are the only ways we get rescued. Hadley.
Princessdy 01-13-2003, 06:17 PM Brandon, it was very special of you to share your life with all of us. Thank you. Equally important is your decision to take it off in a few days. You are wise beyond your years.
A fine decision Brandon ... bravo ;)
Princessdy
HadleyManassas 01-13-2003, 07:32 PM Hadley
Telimena 01-13-2003, 08:14 PM Very smart, indeed, Brandon, to remove your life story.. It will make me feel better too, because I felt guilty of pressuring you..
But look how many people read it.. it was really welcomed story. I was just wondering that maybe if it were another moment you wouldn't be willing to write it...
As per your safety and stuff, yeah, fly on them eagles.. lol.. and seriously - fly high, Brandon !!! Share your humor with us here and if - God forbid - you'd be sad one day, share it too.. Many nice people are here to share with, aren't they?
Tel
HotCaramel 01-13-2003, 11:14 PM just wanted to stick my nose in here. Brandon, I was raised in Philly, so I know the environment somewhat. I would not go back again for all the tea in China, believe me. So, if you are going to hang on in there, I wish you the best. Stay safe. It's obvious that you have amassed a world of knowledge and savvy, but the street smarts you learned back in 'ole Mejico will be the ones to rely on most always, eh?
Listen, I want to congratulate you on how wise you are at your young age. From reading around the board, I think you may have captured the attention of more than one lady here with your charm, wit, humor, good looks, and sensitivity, not to mention your caring concern for others and the way you seem to understand other people's issues (that's just my womanly intuition) and I AM NOT talking about me (just in case someone thought I meant me.) So kudos, my young prince, may your lady love come to you soon and whisk you away to a place other than Philly! It seems you've seen your share of life's ugly experiences already.
By the way, The Eagles did win big. For my money, you will see them in the Superbowl 2 weeks from now against the Raiders. Go Birds (until the Silver and Black break your wings, that is!)
:D

I am thinking Bucs & Titans
:D
Hey! I couldn't resist!
I love football!!
HotCaramel 01-13-2003, 11:26 PM I am thinking Bucs & Titans
I don't know about that, but how's about a little wager my dear Princess?
If you do win, and it's a Bucs/Titans matchup, I will send you and King a great wedding present, how's that? What do you say girl, what you got?:cool:
I confess, I have a space in my heart for football myself.
SnowPrincess 01-13-2003, 11:29 PM Well my dear sweet Caramel, he hasn't proposed yet!!
So whattya say about whoever wins sends the other a bottle of their (the losers) favorite liquor? Cuz I am just dying to try those apple martinis :D
bigagegap 01-13-2003, 11:39 PM brandon....
it has been a pleasure for me as well to read your story...thank you so much for sharing it..
i too have a similar story about being with older women from my teens until now(26, yrs old)
your story is pretty amazing though...you are a wonderful writer, and just wanted thank you for your time and openness...
i too found this site by typing older women younger men in google, just to see if there was a community out there that understood, or felt the same way i do...
i have never met another man around my age who dates older women at all, or like me, who is not really attracted to younger women. so hearing your story is so nice for me....
i am a musician, and have lots of friends(girls and guys of all ages), but i have always wanted to hang out with another guy who felt the same way i did...maybe one day we'll meet....occasionally i go up to philly to record, and you are always welcome down here in north carolina if you are ever passing through....
thanks again
bigage gap...
by the way, what kind of music do you play on the piano?
Princessdy 01-13-2003, 11:46 PM Huh ? What ? Creative men ??? Musicians ????
Please ... do share more :)
Princessdy
HotCaramel 01-13-2003, 11:53 PM I'll revisit after this weekend's playoffs. And you and your guy have lots of time to play, so no hurry on that proposal, eh?
Not that you are going to win or anything, but you would love those AMs my girl! Just be careful and take it slow with them; the effect is very dreamy and erotic, if you know what I mean. Or is that just me?;)
Take care 'yall. Good nite!:cool:
bigagegap 01-14-2003, 02:39 AM one more question...
i might of missed this...sorry if you already explained, but how old are the women that you mentioned in your story?
Jannie 01-14-2003, 08:50 AM Brandon,
You are so intelligent and I love the way you write. You should write a book! Intelligence is very attractive. Keep talking. We enjoy it. Thanks,
suicideblonde 01-14-2003, 08:28 PM This thread is not quite exactly the same as what I have typed below, but to me there are some eerie parallels.... from an excerpt of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby:
...For over a year he [Gatsby] had been beating his way along the south shore of Lake Superior as a clam-digger and a salmon-fisher or in any other capacity tht brought him food and bed. His brown, hardening body lived naturally through the half-fierce, half-lazy work of the bracing days. He knew women early, and since they spoiled him, he became contemptuous of them, of young virgins because they were ignorant, of the others because they were hysterical about the things which in his overwhelming self-abssorption he took for granted....but his heart was in a constant, turbulent riot. The most grotesque and fantastic conceits haunted him in his bed at night. A universe of ineffable gaudiness spun itself out in his brain while the clocked ticked on the washstand and the moon soaked with wet light his tangled clothes on the floor....
(This is not meant to insult/offend anyone, but just show how in some instances, art does imitate life.)
layton826 01-16-2003, 03:54 PM If I only knew how to play chess.... I knew I should have paid more attention when grandpapa was trying to teach me way back when.....
Jo-Admin 01-17-2003, 07:35 PM Blondie and Trish,
Smoking is an terrible habit. I have not smoked in 12 days, and it is really really hard to quit unfortunately, but I am giving it my best shot.
My father has emphysema from smoking, and he is on oxygen 24 hours a day. When we leave the house he has to bring a portable tank. He cannot carry the trash out to the curb anymore, he cannot work anymore, and he had to move in with me a little over a year ago. The ridiculous thing is, he still smokes. :(
Anyway, my advice to everyone, not that it matters, but my advice is to quit while you still can and while it can still make a difference. Even if my father quit now, I don't think he would ever be good enough to work again or live alone. He is 60 years old.
Love and hugs to all
Jody
HadleyManassas 01-18-2003, 09:14 AM Get the h*ll out before you find yourself kicked to the curb with a wakeup call no want wants, and many of us have seen and had...somethings don't last forever, and this type of arrangement is one of them...learn where your local shelter is and what their hours are of operation just in case you need them, keep your things (most of them) packed up and ready to roll, and take your tiny investments and use them to buy a car with some cheap insurance...you need to be able to roll out, Brandon, on a moment's notice...this environment will change in the wind when you least expect it...Hadley
Telimena 01-18-2003, 10:05 AM OMG, Hadley, it sounds awfully scarry just to read it...
Relax a bit..., not all the people on the earth are treating others like an old furniture.. Now, why would you suggest a cheap insurance?? It's like not having it at all..
Regards,
Tel
Princessdy 01-18-2003, 02:58 PM Delightful Brandon ... simply delightful.

suicideblonde 01-18-2003, 03:55 PM You mean like, Lady Godiva???? YIKES!
Telimena 01-18-2003, 04:07 PM [quote]
i'm just giving you a hard time, Telimena. having fun here. i'm glad you opened this topic up. every time i write here , its with a smile. even if its a little sadistic today. are we still up for that philly tavern? you fight off the drunk irishmen and i'll order the beer while a "danny boy" dance mix plays in the background. without curiosity, where would we be? [unquote]
I have written a post asking you to tell us something about you, if you'd agree (see these words there?) That is I AM GUILTY OF.
You wrote your story the way you have chosen yourself. My response or comments are still here in this thread. You will not find anything but sympathy there and admiration that in such a young age you've learned so many and didn't fall apart being dissapointed here and there. I didn't have fun with this thread. It was a pleasure to read your story, so openly and nicely written - and I did thank you for that. That is I AM GUILTY OF.
I never asked you who do you live with or about your material status, thus I never suggested you to pack your things and buy a cheap car with a cheap insurance. I am NOT GUILTY OF THAT. If you look at my comment addressed to Hadley you'd see that I am trying to tell her something.. - and definitely I am not having fun -on your expense, as you think.
You can't make me responsible for what you wrote and what people answer and for anyone's reactions. THAT I AM NOT GUILTY OF.
I am writing this response to your post only to let you know that I understand that you are upset, and maybe today more than another day. I'd also like to ask you to think it over, if you really should be so angry and sarcastic toward me. I was nothing but nice to you. THAT I AM GUILTY OF.
I will delete this entire thread soon, because it became not what it was intended to be.
I also hope that Niall will not post his story, nor Alana will accuse me for any comment she might receive after she responded to my questions.
That episod will definitely limit my activity here to browsing - and maybe sometimes responding. Because any question asked might backfire at me after someone else's comments or actions.
Still, I wish you the best, Brandon. You are definitely an interesting person and many people noticed that. As you already know.
Telimena
Princessdy 01-18-2003, 05:11 PM How did you do that Brandon ... How terribly clever ... and a wonderful looking pony it is ... Don't hurt it cause you're too big k??? Ha, ha ... good one ...
Princessdy
Telimena 01-18-2003, 08:06 PM I've mentioned somewhere else that I have friends 15-20 years younger and we are getting along very vell. But, these are all Polish guys and couples. Therefore I might be not familiar with other people's ways of joking and - in the context - I might missunderstand. It doesn't mean that I do not have a sense of humor but I definitely lose it when feeling hurt , as at that point I don't know that I maybe shouldn't feel hurt.
I've had a situation when a man I was with said something about his right to decide on some manor issue because he was paying the bills. I was furious.. When he asked why, HE become insulted and said that it was a language issue and a great misunderstanding, cause he was teasing me. But in Poland man would never claim the right to decide because he pays. He just pays; we don't have the "split bills" or peach tree thing there (well maybe after I left it is now present there too).
Anyways, I am drained empty for tonight, definitely unable to say anything funny yet.
It would be also helpful if other people seeing me taking things the wrong way would point that to me, instead of adding to the pain their dreadful comments. There is no way everybody can love everybody, but maliciousness should be left to those who thrive on it.. If I missunderstood also, I do apologize - and I mean it.

SnowPrincess 01-18-2003, 08:33 PM Telimenia, please don't delete the thread, I find it very interesting...............

Telimena 01-19-2003, 10:56 AM Thank you, Fae, for your kind words.
There are no hard feelings, Brandon. I will, however, send you my ID just in case you'd feel one day like entertaining me.. lol

I meant: my yahoo messenger ID...
BTW, now when the thread about Sweetamanda was deleted
(that one was on the 2nd place) this box has an absolute record when it comes to the number of readers!!
I wonder.. is it Brandon himself? His writing skills? His writing skills combined with a great sense of humor? All of the above?
And now - yet the pet..
Congratulations, Brandon.

P.S. These are NOT the questions. These are just my thoughts..
Telimena 01-19-2003, 11:48 PM Brandon, did you relocate already???
Frozen north.. I can't drive there, c'mon..
No, sweet one, I do not play chess.. not that kind of a brain.. I could never learn properly to play bridge (spelling??)' cause I play cards as a form of relaxation and can't remember what cards already left the hands etc. I am more of a dreamer... and yet I am an accountant..he..he.. had to learn to earn..
I am finally fine and I like you again .. lol..
Tel
P.S. Decided to edit and replace "love you" with "like you" - for the sake of clarity..
Polly 01-20-2003, 09:33 PM Brandon, you're awesome! Don't ever stop being YOU! I wish everybody opened up like you do. It's so refreshing!
Telimena 01-20-2003, 11:51 PM from "like" to "love" again, what u say, BB?
There is something scary, ya know..
When I was having a facial today lying down comfortably and listening to the ERA music, I was thinking about it .. how many people ( including myself) spend more and more time socializing over the net - in many forms. All these personals, dating websites, forums, game playing, chatrooms - these are full of people seeking something, somebody, killing time, killing their loneliness, imagining that they BELONG (one of the basic human needs !) or simply enjoing it and bringing joy (or frustrations) to others.
And I was thinking how life has changed lately.. we often send a virtual birthday card instead of buying one and hand-writing few words. We would send an e-mail often instead of a phone conversation. Computer became a part of life, very real life for very real people..
Now, I come here, I see you thought about it too - different way,
much deeper, but still, it's scary. You are not allowed to read my mind, kid, or listen to what I am saying to myself.. :)
Brandon, I let the Big Inquisitor sleep tonight. I just enjoy your writing, the philosophy behind it, the touching force that's in it, the reaction of people - real people - to what the young man with a pony has to say.
I think I've said that some place already.. I've learned reading very early. During early to late teens - I was a writer, sang in the school choir, took ballet classes for beginners, folk dance classes, mythology and ancient history fan, reciting poetry and performing on high-school events. My class-mates were sometimes unhappy for the attention I received - even if it was a bad note from Russian language because I dared to correct the teacher's writing error. I don't think any of them knew that the real me was - most of all- a dreamer. And why .. that would be a loong story..
But you know what, BB, I was also a "writer" if you'd let me use the metaphore here. Shaping the landscape... nicely said...
Thank you for another wonderful moment with your thoughts.
Tel
suicideblonde 01-21-2003, 04:36 AM These words are absolutely awesome. I am going to put them up in my classroom, if you do not mind:
readers are the dreamers who can travel with their mind to any land they choose...and writers are the people who form the landscape of the dreams.
And the name of the novel Is The Sound and the Fury,
And again, as I have told you before, please think about becoming a teacher; you have the gift to inspire.
Princessdy 01-21-2003, 06:31 AM I as well was moved by your words. Your quote is worth mentioning to SB's class as well as others. How wonderfully put :)
Teacher perhaps, philosopher maybe, writer pf course. But what I call the gift you possess is that of encourager. You are able to help people to see what others can not see, to feel what they thought impossible and to hope for what they might not have otherwise. Bravo Brandon, bravo.
I also experience random thoughts, feelings and ideas. They just come constantly and consistently. I have my whole life. They just come. I love reading yours. A blessing to be sure. In other words, I can identify :)
May I suggest journaling. I know. You are journaling here online. But I mean developing a manner of saving your work, even that which you write on the internet. I have many books contained in my many journals. I believe you will as well ;) I now know, sometimes those thoughts and feelings once released may be lost or forgotten if not saved :rolleyes:
Waiting for more :D
Princessdy
Telimena 01-22-2003, 08:33 PM The most important one for today would be: are you OK?
Where are you, Brandon? Why are you leaving us here thirsty and hungry for more after spoling our (soft...) souls.. ?
Maybe you are too cold over there.. need some warmth? I'd give u a hug, but am frickin freezin here too..
Thanks God (and the management) the heat works great in these buildings and at the office as well..
Life is demanding, yeah, but my guess is that because Nessa took over your queen (so I read..?) therefore you put everything aside and are practicing chess...

MsWiseCrone 01-25-2003, 05:14 AM Dear Brandon and List,
I am new to the list and have spent a day reading most of the threads and was overwhelmed by this one. I can only say that what I did read on this thread was utterly fascinating. Once again in points out the sharp fact that the age of a person is mererly a number that doesn't always correlate to age of the heart. Brandon, it would appear that I missed a critical part of this thread because you chose removed it before I joined the list! Ugh! I hate to be in the dark! I'd like to ask you that if have the time and feel so inclined, I would be greatful if you would privately e-mail me whatever it was that you deleted so that I might get a better understanding and appreciation for the outpouring of concern and advice that I've read here. The part of your story that you deleted must be significant to have touched so many. I don't mean to impose or overtly nosy but I seemed to have missed a critical part of what everyone else is discussing! I'd just like to be "on the same page" with everyone else. But Brandon, if you choose not to send it to me, I certainly will understand.
As for the rest of the replies, I can only say how lucky I am to have found a list comprised of such caring and concerned people. I can only hope that in time, I too will feel welcome.
So, like Paul Harvey, I will hope to learn "the rest of the story".
My best to you, Brandon.
Croney
Princessdy 01-26-2003, 07:28 PM Glad to see you have made it back to the boards Brandon!
It's good you are back home. I bet your parents are glad to see you again. Hope you found that everything is alright there on the "home front". And, I've always thought that home is a wonderful place from which to "jump off" into another adventure :)
I'm sure I'm not the only one who is waiting to hear all about your trip ... details Brandon ... we need details :)
Princessdy
southerngal 01-26-2003, 09:05 PM Hey Brandon - welcome back to Texas!! I've often wondered why you've never returned since you do speak fondly of it:) Although where I am its pretty dang cold at the moment!! Glad to hear you made the trip safely. Traveling can be so much fun. It more or less forces people to interact (well, except for those who sleep everywhere they go lol) since you're all cooped up together and you can meet some very interesting fellow travelers.
Hope the health problems that brought you back arent too serious and that things are better soon.

Telimena 01-26-2003, 09:06 PM I was wondering if you were galopping the pony and it threw you off - or something.. Missed you here, but could take a bet that even with a broken leg or two you'd come here and say at least good bye..
So now it's nice to hear a "hallo" from ya..

Shewolf 01-29-2003, 04:08 AM Brandon u have done it now!! ......... I am agog to know what happened next!! :) ......... Please don't leave us in suspense, I'm sure I am not the only one who will want to know :) .............. Nice to meet u BTW :D
Telimena 01-29-2003, 06:15 PM And why everybody likes talking to you? Even the strangers?
You probably are... likeable....:p
Brandon, good to see you back..
My daughter just sat here with me reading your last post.. she'd like to have these links you've mentioned.. When you'll get a chance, please send these. Tks.

Princessdy 01-29-2003, 06:42 PM Quite an adventure, trip Brandon. I guess after reading it all, I couldn't help but comment on this portion of your story.
"you know theres just been so much Synchronicity of events in my life that i cant believe in mere coincidence. it leaves me with no other choice than to believe in fate. that things have a pattern and a purpose. a faith healer, a clairvoyant, the lady working with the sundance film festival? all very creative and fascinating people on one day, on one train, in one diner car. and then the age gap lady....cant forget her. especially when her nickname is BB."
Ya think Brandon??? Ya think :)
We're all learning aren't we? Some more quickly than others :D
Princessdy
the book that comes to mind that discusses that exact topic (coinsidences) profoundly and in depth is _The Celestine Prophecy_. it's a good read in that it's basically religion nuetral while presenting ideas that aren't present in many popular religions without contradicting basic ideas already present in said religions. mostly, anyway. :) so most anybody can come away from it with at least something positive.
this topic (and many others stemming from it) is of great interest to me too, so if anybody else feels inclined, maybe start a new thread or feel free to PM me about anything related (or hell, unrelated).

Princessdy 01-29-2003, 08:43 PM The Celestine Prophecy is definitely a good jumping off point ...
James Redfield's newest book, "God and the Expanding Universe continues ... There's so much to know and learn ... I just eat this stuff up and will contribute what I can as the conversation proceeds :)
Discovery truly is wonderful ... :p

Telimena 01-30-2003, 09:21 PM Now I have to look for a place to stay, because my kid will spend the weekend here browsing all that stuff..
Well, maybe I'll look over her shoulder a little too..
Good night, BB

Savannah 01-30-2003, 09:46 PM Brandon's post just reminded me of a rather odd remark that was made to me several years ago, that I've always been curious about. So I'm tossing this out there to see if anyone knows the answer.........
At the time, I was the liaison for our office with another organization, and I was hanging out in their lunchroom waiting for a meeting to start when one of the women who worked there popped her head in the door to say hi. Then she said, completely matter-of-fact, "Oh, you've got a green aura". In the same tone as if she was saying, "Oh, you've cut your hair". Then our meeting was starting, so I never had a chance to ask what a green aura meant -- and I never ran into her again. She was a fairly non-flaky type, and just the way she kind of blurted it out...... I've wondered about this green aura ever since.
So, does anyone know what a green aura signifies? (For that matter, what does a bluish yellow aura mean?) And do they change with the owner's? wearer's? mood, or what?
Just call me an Aural Virgin....lol.
Telimena 01-30-2003, 10:36 PM In Chicago there is well known psychic VIGA (BTW, she is Polish..). She has an office at 5730 W. Belmont Ave. and there is also a special computer measuring the aura; you place your hand on some device and you see on the monitor how it appears. Mine was bluish-violet; they gave me a printout of it along with the explanations for all the colors.. I wish I still had it.. I do not really believed in that.. but what she said about me (first on the phone and then in person) was exactly ME.
Unfortunately I didn't marry older widower and move to his house (altough I met such person a year ago..). The psychic was here in November and (after 2 years) told me the same story about marying OM and moving to his house. She also repeated that my daughter will have one child - a son..
Well, I like to hear things, but don't really believe...
Where is my widower???

Telimena 02-01-2003, 10:14 PM What happened was that not my daughter was browsing these links, but I myself spent there few hours. I can barely see now, after reading pages of these David's Icke revelations. . pretty scarry, sometimes speculative, yet definitely interesting.. needs closer look..
Now, BB, I think that the hollistic healer called you Indigo Child rightfully. Only one thing from that definition seems to be not quite you - but it is really hard to say knowing just a top of the iceberg..
Thanks for a chance to learn something..
Teli
yellowrose 02-04-2003, 09:45 PM Brandon.... you are truly priceless! I live in Wichita Falls and you captured the lifestyle perfectly. Did you grow up on red beans (pinto) and fried potatoes?
Telimena 02-04-2003, 09:59 PM 1) That is my favorite photo of yours..
2) That is not my favorite signature of yours.. (never let a woman....)
3) I'd go for a hard candy instead of a beer, but driving to Texas....even for you... so, are you staying there for good?
What I think may not apply to you from these Indigo Children attributes is that they are not shy in letting the world know what they need and often tell parents "who they are". I don't know you, but through your writing find you rather warm hearted and respectful.. so, that's what I think.
I've never heard before about this David Icke; had to devour some of his theories immediately to satisfy my curiosity. But I am surprised that he finds believers...
Why did you say that your posts dissapeared lately?
Teli
Jo-Admin 02-05-2003, 12:31 AM I think you look rather Val Kilmer-ish in that pic. *smiles* Did you all ever see him as Doc Holliday in Tombstone??? Oh so sexy! Anyway, nice new picture Brandon. :) And hey...watch it. I already watch Good Morning America with my breakfast....maybe I should run out and buy a Cadillac and a big bag of hard candy to tote around in my purse? Woe is me...its all downhill from here....lol
Princessdy 02-05-2003, 12:38 AM I would definitely say that's a hot photo Brandon ...
OK, OK, SMALL REVISION/ HERE :) :) :) ... Gesh ../ WITH OR WITHOUT ... XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, ha, ha ...
My favorite photo yet ;)
Whew ... it's been gittin hotter and hotter around here .... :D
Princessdy
datura81 02-05-2003, 01:33 AM Well, Brandon, if you're for real (I say this with a tad bit of skepticism) you certainly are a miraculous discovery for a 23-yr old. You say you grew up in Roseville- I grew up not far from there and live in the Minne-apple now. Shout out to another Minnesota person. Have you ever written short stories, or essays about some of your experiences? If so you should create a little website because your style is very entertaining. Just keep it coming, cuz these ladies luuuuuuuv you. ;)
Shewolf 02-05-2003, 06:11 AM I concur the pic is cute :) .......... I cannot wait for that length hair with ur 'now' face :) ............
I have to say tho' Brandon, by far ur most attractive feature is ur intelligence. There is no bigger turn-on than a man with a brain :) ..... Reading ur posts makes me just want sit an talk, to discuss, to debate forever! ..........
Anyway ....... Please keep up the great posts, I know I am not the only peson that really enjoys reading ur thoughts and ramblings
Ur No 1 fan on the other side of the pond :D

pictures?
age?
stories and writings?
i think it was meant if you're the same intelligent, witty, interesting and seemingly caring and deep individual in person as the persona you present here. all too often there's a good looking, silver tongued fellow that can talk the talk, but doesn't even come close to walking the walk. i can vouch for running into more than my share of these, i assure you. :)
all too often the deep and interesting guy is really just egocentric and irresponsible, especally the good looking ones because they tend to get away with it. :P
too good to be true syndrome.
obviously i dont mean you're necessarily an example of this, i don't even know you. just my personal $.02 on the subject of why some people may not accept at face value, and remain a bit skeptical. i could also be totally wrong too as to datura81's intent, but it's still a take on the whole "are you real" idea, so i thought i'd share.

Moonshadow 02-05-2003, 04:36 PM Ahhh Brandon. All the men want to be you and all the women want to be with you.
suicideblonde 02-05-2003, 05:43 PM I don't think Brandon would agree with you Moon... he is too humble and unassuming.
And as far as the pic, ladies, it has been in the album for awhile! And boy did I have to do a double take...for Brandon, my dear, in that pic, you look exactly like the ym who took away my virginity as LONNNNGGGG time ago! Length of hair and all!
And finally, that use to be MY quotation. I love it so much, I have it up in my classroom as well! But do you know from what Tennyson poem it is from???? And no peeking on the net!
PS. Do you know what the word of the millineum is, according to the American Dialectic Society?
Telimena 02-05-2003, 07:18 PM I have seen this photo of yours earlier in the album; I think it was also on the Web, but there are some changes there now... Wasn't there yet another older photo of you in December part? Post it back there, please.. or was I dreaming???
So, I am in trouble, becuse I should answer your question why this photo.. You did answer so many questions before...
I could answer ANY question in person, but publicly..ouch... You know, why this photo.. but I think, I owe you the answer...
I did like a photo with a pony too, but couldn't magnify it and couldn't see ..the pony... closer...lol. Here I can see your face and its expression .. eyes, lips.. mmmm.. your hand ( love nice hands..) some hair on your arm.. and these longer hair.. You are soo sexy there too..
The whole photo matches exactly my perception of you that emerged from your posts... when I saw it first time it was like lightning.. there are other photos nice as well and not with long hair.. one is very close to the same image..
As you see, BB, I have you under close surveilance..lol.. It is not a secret for you or for anyone here that I liked you from the very beginning and wanted to know more.. that is how this thread happenned..
Since you know that I am not a "contestant", I hope you take my compliments as they are... sincere, lightly humored and with no consequences... and hope, you are comfortable with being spoiled a little here - and ... not only by me !!!
BB, I did not leave you for younger you; younger you is still within you.. I like you both.. I mean, all of you there... :p And tea is fine; I don't drink bear.. just keep talking about it as people do about having coffee..
The "if you are real" I understood as another form of compliment. I think that the author wanted express that such a young guy writing so nicely and knowing so many and understanding different life nuances is a rarity.. hard to believe in.. that was my impression of that post.
I did joke about your new signature (don't ever let a woman...) but thinking about it, it doesn't sound like your thought (speaking about YOU as I perceive you.. and it - of course - might be very far from what you think.). " cause - wouldn't you let a woman..???
Hope, you have a nice evening reading some articles in ...PB... :p
I know, I am terrible... but I am a good girl sometimes too.. just wait ...

Nessa 02-05-2003, 07:34 PM you know that Brandon is a man all unto himself.
Telimena 02-05-2003, 07:44 PM At this point I can only cry and put the black veil on...
It would be strange if he weren't yet "taken". Guy needs and deserves all the warmth and love one can get.
Since I always worry for him, I hope, he has his eyes wide open this time and won't settle for someone whom he'd just know briefly. I'd be devastated if he'd be hurt or manipulated.
So, I'll leave being happy for him till he says that he is...
Teli
Telimena 02-05-2003, 08:01 PM Yeah, Nessa, you are right; he said that in his posts that he'd prefer a woman to do the first step..
That young man is beyond my reach.. unfortunately..boooo..
Also, I have never tried to conquer a man; wouldn't even know how to begin.. lol.. So, I'll cry now and be happy later ...
Teli
Telimena 02-06-2003, 06:49 PM Veil off, night well spent..(no, babe, I was sleeping soundly..lol).
:(
Life is quiet today, no extraordinary heartbits.. maybe later..
Promise me that you'd gossip sometimes... isn't it girls' stuff to share.. don't we do that all the time -also here- telling it all about our exes and present ones ect...
Hope, BB won't kill me for being overprotective.. again... won't reach me from that distance now.. :D
Teli
Princessdy 02-15-2003, 07:53 PM I'm curious enough to ask Brandon ...
Where have you been for this last little bit? You know we all want to know :). Whatcha been up to lately? Has your new job been taking all your time? How are your parents? We hope all is going well there. May we have an update?
Princessdy ...
And, btw, I'm sure you weren't talking badly about the REAL Peter Pan ... right? I'm sure you have a bit of him in you as well
:D :D :D
Telimena 02-17-2003, 09:47 PM As soon as I was able to free my head from under the snow I took a pick at the new posts here.. and I noticed that Brandon stopped watering the orange tree and scribed few lines here a day or two ago..
Good to see you back.. even with so FEW lines..
The only white horse(s) I actually have are these of my black Honda covered with a snow to the half of its hight.. But see, BB, how it works sometimes in life.... Joe Millionaire didn't have millions and as soon as he admitted that, he was rewarded with a handsome check.. One never knows..
So, since I am freezing here and cannot count on anybody warming me up (or sending some sun from Texas..lol..) I decided to go to Miami and so be it.. unless we will have another blizard - I am off on Saturday. Please do not ask me anybody for a date that evening..
Warm regards from
Teli
Telimena 02-21-2003, 07:01 PM Brandon, I am sorry that you are going through the difficult time with your parents not feeling well.
I hope that situation will improve soon.. they are definitely happy to have you there and that helps!
Hugs,
Teli

I wonder meself Gen reading the stuff about his parents, I've been through that and know how hard it can be.
Maybe he comes on by, sees this has been bumped up and lets people here know he and his folks are ok.
Let's hope so.
