moving targets

there is a profound thought in the lifestyle embodied in the two word title above, but that is not what i have come here to write about so perhaps we will explore the thought another time in another place... for now, i add another letter to a stranger to this blog where i think these sort of letters might belong (if i recall the purpose of this blog correctly, which is often in doubt)... a letter of introduction to an individual person (as opposed to a personal add to anyone and everyone in my never ending search for the one which i record elsewhere, if you really want to know)...

noticing that i didn't start out with a salutation (so much for social etiquette, or business, for that matter... so perhaps i will remedy that here (if remedy will help convey the message)... or perhaps i am just weakly attempting to be clever or cute or appealing and exposing the attention whore i might be... in any case, feel free to let me know what you think if you happen to find yourself here and thinking...

Dear Nat,

Of course you claim to have no friends in real life, that fits with your online persona so well and makes you adorably vulnerable (and saveable for all the knights in shining armor out there) and pathetically relate-able to the majority of your internet audience... but did the internet create you or are you simply brilliant?

i thought of writing to your shop address and simply typing "i want to buy you" but that idea was rejected by my deeper desire to know you and not just attempt to inspire your laughter... and then i thought about writing to your community channel address, but i rejected that idea because i could ramble on forever and get infinitely distracted thinking about your videos because your mind amuses me so much... you don't have a friends@babyiknow address, so i chose this one... business proposal, aye?...

if you wander through orlando florida, i will pay for dinner at the restaurant of your choice... that's it, just an offer of dinner because i don't dance... i don't date either and this isn't any sort of attempt to create a romantic evening (if you are disappointed, i am strangely flattered)... rather, this is an attempt to be a friend...

friends in real life take time in the same space... rarely does it happen in a few moments, but hey, anything is possible... we might even want to keep in touch if we amuse each other enough... or you can continue being a moving target cuz there is safety in that choice...

it is only fair that you get to spy on me before you decide if you want to know me (cuz you give me a great advantage by sharing so much on the net), so you can, should you find yourself curious (or just bored one night), find me at the following web addresses (sometimes occasionally, sometimes only rarely... on twitter @candoor ... my facebook it off at the moment, but it is bwebbot ... i can be found at any one of these hundred or so blogs linked here: http://rhetroric.blogspot.com/2011/06/blogs-and-other-strangers.html

but mostly here: http://e-the-real.blogspot.com

you are sometimes linked there after i visit your channel, which i do every now and then because i too am a moving target, at least in my mind, and my focus seldom pauses for more than a few hours in any one spot...

see?... http://ric-candor.blogspot.com/2015/03/really-know-me-friends.html

yeah, so anyway, this is all business... the business of friendship... of really getting to know someone because you want to care about them because they somehow give you the feeling like you may relate and understand and care...

hope you find more smile than frown on your face now :)

share, care, be well, be aware... till tomorrow,
honest love, ric
