A New Idea I Had

In the next few days, I thought it would be fun to sit down and interview the people who are most important in my life. Allow you to see the people,their thoughts and why I love them. It's a little different i know...but i think it could be fun.

First, I have interviewed Mark. This will be a two part interview.

Me: Well Mark...are you nervous?
Mark: No, this is fun in a sense.
Me: Ok....well let's begin
Mark: Well...I do want you to know that I do read your blog. During my lunch hour or after work. Looking back into your archives and comparing them to your present you have progressively matured...........I'm very proud of you.
Me: That's so sweet of you--------but if this is a compliment in hopes of swaying my decision in regards to the Sunday Golf Tournament you can forget it. I love you...but I'm not being your caddy, or whatever you call them people who drag around the golfers stuff all day.
Mark: {laughing} No, No, No----I respect your decision. You know that never have nor would I ever ask you or make you do something that you did not want to do.
Me:Because you know that is just a waste of time {laughing}
But anyway, lets continue. You admit to reading my blog. So, you have seen entries that I have made in regards to you. How much I do love you and how happy I am to be with you.
Mark: {Smiling} Yes. What is so puzzling to me is that since coming to know you and being with you all of the time I have learned that you have no problems revealing your feelings to strangers at all but are extremely hesitant/cautious in doing so with the people who you love
Me: Yeah that's true but I AM doing better with that
Mark: yes sweetheart...yes you are
Me: With the initial start of my journal and up to the present, it has been a journey of sorts. Almost like an awakening. I do not feel like the same man who wrote that first entry. He is almost a stranger to me. In the begining I wasnt sure what direction I wanted this journal to go in
Mark: Thank God it is not entirely based on Stevie Nicks.You know that I enjoy her as much as you do, but no one has ANY idea how much I am subjected to Stevie and her music everyday {Chuckling}
Me: Party of laughing....ONE!! Re' and I are going to kick your ass over that comment. I am revoking a "Kootchie Coupon" from you for that remark Mr..... Back to the questions at hand.
Mark: OK...Ask away
Me: How am I different from the other guys you had in your past?
Mark: Hands down you were and still are a challenge. I knew that you were seeing another guy at the time I asked you out. But, I could see that you weren't entirely happy. When I asked you to dinner---your initial reaction was to say "yes", I could tell instantly. Then you drew back a bit and said "I'm sort of seeing somebody."
Me: Well, you were different than any other guy I had been with. The way you carried yourself. Your charm, you being extremely handsome yet so down to earth and you are very well respected in the community. I honestly didnt think we stood a chance because you and I aren't exactly "cut from the same cloth". We truly do come from different sides of the tracks.
Mark: True, but that 's what makes our union so exciting. We have joined our lives, literally as one,and now we are on this journey of exploring. I am learning new things from you everyday as you are from me. What's the first thing you noticed about me when we first met?
Me: Haven't we talked about this?
Mark: No
Me: Oh...well, I would have to say your smile. Plus, I was wondering what build of chest laid beneath that shirt you were wearing over that lab coat. So.....what about me? What did you initially notice about me?
Mark: Honestly?
Me: Well yeah
Mark: Your ass. You have a great ass. And your eyes. I love your green eyes
Me: Good lord have mercy Mark..my mother may read this. How did you know I was the one?
Mark: On our second date. When I saw you again. I had that same feeling of nervousness and anticipation. In our conversations over dinner, i was amazed at how you look at life and how inconsequential you find the remarks that people said or have said about you. A statement you recently made in a conversation we were having still echos in my mind. You said that "Growth means finding the bigger battle than the one you have between you and yourself. Very profund.
Me: Well, it's true i feel
Mark: Yes...hell yes.....very true. Alot of people have no idea how deeply you do think about things. It does irritate me a bit when you try to "play dumb" when various things are discussed or debated. Because you do not stay true to yourself in that area. It is almost as if you do not want others to see you as someone who possess a great deal of knowledge. I also feel it is your way of not allowing alot of people to get close to you. You are very "picky" in that area. To whom you allow to get close to you.
Me: Well, thanks for that enlightening concept Mark...and to think...all this time I have been paying a therapist.
Mark:{laughing} Correction baby....WE have been paying for a therapist
Me:Ok, Ok, Ok {laughing}
