Love is in the air...

It seems that each time I enter NHL:1, there is talk of another blossoming relationship in the works. Just last night I heard that hoffa75 and costergirl are now an item, and have actually met outside of the chat world.

There truly is someone for everyone in this world, and the above proves it.

I thought I would take a few minutes and share some of what I was reading last night. This goes out to those of you that have found love in recent months, weeks, and days.

I know some of you have found love for the first time, and some of you... well hell, I've lost count to be honest with you. Regardless of whether it is your first or fourteenth, take some time to read on, and good luck!

What is love?

Love itself is a universal experience. Yet, every individual occurrence... while perhaps bound by a common thread... seems absolutely unique. Love is what love is! To everyone it expresses itself differently.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

True love has a foundation of integrity, respect, faith and trust. Love is the force that brings about unity and harmony.

Love is expressed when you are being someone who loves someone for who they are, not who you think they should be.

Love is the ability and willingness to allow those you care for to be what they choose for themselves, without any insistence that they satisfy you.

Love is a bond or connection between two people that results in trust, intimacy, and an interdependence that enhances both partners.

If you want Love, you must first Love. Love begets Love. You cannot deliver from an empty wagon. You must first learn to Love yourself before you can give Love.

Love is comforting someone in need of Love and having them know that somebody cares.

Love is looking past imperfections in your partner and seeing the beautiful person inside. True love seeks the happiness and well being of your partner. Love expresses itself in the mutual respect you demonstrate to your partner.

Love must be experienced. Its meaning is infinite and can never be totally defined. .

Love is loving someone without expecting anything in return; no judgments, no restrictions; no limitations; no expectations!

To demonstrate Love. . . say, "I Love you" ... out loud... at least once each day to someone you love. There is magic in these three little words. Saying "I love you" is the most beautiful gift you can give to your partner. These words are the most treasured a person can hear. To be different, say, "I Love you" in a foreign language.

Some people deny the idea they want or need love so they should not be surprised if it does not find them... right dakilangmanok1, thornton_19_ca, newname, boltsgirlvl4, butter_cup0, and so many others?

The sincerest love is the love of food, right pixie?

I recently read that love is entirely a matter of chemistry. That must be why your wife treats you like toxic waste, right oz?

Marriage is the process of finding out what kind of person your spouse would have really preferred, right flyereddie48?

Whatever you may look like, marry a man your own age... as your beauty fades, so will his eyesight, right berrybusygirl?

All tragedies are finished by a death, all comedies by a marriage, right northerncutie08?

My wife has a slight impediment in her speech. Every now and then she stops to breathe... what jerzzzey will be saying of mary_christine21, a day after he says "I do", right paul?

Marriage is a three ring circus... engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering... what not2nice_31 will be saying of talker_a_talker a week after the ceremony, right tasha?

In my house I'm the boss, my wife is just the decision maker... what hoffa75 will be telling nhl:1 the day after their marriage, right trisha?

Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who'll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you're in sherry_berry27's house, or citygirl0117's house, or harlemz_nocturne's house, or aka_rockin_canadian_girl's house, that's what it means, right buff_lincoln90210? Sorry, Allie, aka sharks1419.

Love is in the air... YEAH!

Known worldwide to all...

There is an individual named Verian_My_Spider_Daemon and Verian -- well -- he knows EVERYONE in the whole world... FACT!!!


Many of you reading this THINK you know who this individual is... and I'm betting you just said to yourselves "yeah, he knows everyone alright... everyone in NHL:1... and the other chat forums he visits." "How can he not know everyone, he's been a Yahoo! Messenger member since March 9, 1998.


Verian is truly the Wilt Chamberlain, Peter North, and Giacomo Casanova of Yahoo! chat rooms, FACT!!! Verian has 'spermed' a woman from 185 out of the 192 countries that The United Nations recognizes. (I'm thinking Internet access is not available in those other 7 countries) See, some people collect stamps, others collect coins... Verian collects women... and is a bona-fide pick-up artist who is extremely confident and respectful. But it just isn't the chat women that he knows. I must say, that after spending time with Verian, I am a believer now in him knowing EVERYONE in the whole world. Allow me to share part of our time together...


After coordinating our busy schedules we agreed to start our journey in Las Vegas. I arrived at LAS as scheduled and was promptly greeted by Verian's hired chauffeur. "Verian and Kerkor are waiting, Sir... dinner at six, let us not keep them waiting" he said. Kerkor "Kirk" Kerkorian (not to be confused with Jack Kevorkian... 'Doctor of Death') is the majority shareholder of MGM MIRAGE, Inc. and owns about 51.65% through his private investment firm, Tracinda Corp. His net worth in 2007, according to Forbes Magazine, is $18.0 billion, and at 90 years of age, now relies on Verian for most of his business related decisions.


Our stay in the 9,000-square-foot, three-bedroom Two Story Sky Villa was unbelievable. Verian and I received the royal treatment, including access to a cantilevered Jacuzzi with clear views of the Strip, a butler, poker table, private gym and media room. It was a good thing Verian had connections, because at a princely per-night price of $25,000 for our Sky Villa, I may not have been able to join the likes of Doyle Brunson, Jennifer Harman, or Johnny Chan at the poker table. I would have instead been in my suite playing online poker with kingvspades, willc_49er, hotshotschamp or briereyote eating 7/11 nachos and drinking B&J Wine Coolers.

While in Vegas, we were able to catch a few shows, one of my favourites being David Copperfield. After his show, Verian took me back stage to meet David Kotkin (Verian convinced him to change his last name to Copperfield for professional reasons) and get an autographed photo. I asked David if he could show me some magic and he said "sure, what would you like me to show you?" I asked that he show me how to make chat scrap disappear, and I would be forever grateful. Neither Verian nor David laughed, though I know Verian was holding back. I thought it was funny, myself... oh well. Too soon had our 4 night/3 day trip come to an end in Vegas.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania here we come.


Verian was to meet with Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney and head coach Mike Tomlin for two days to discuss the poor 2nd half performance of the 2007 season. It appeared that Tomlin was 'shaking in his boots' upon Verian entering the meeting room. Verian was able to persuade Rooney into hiring Tomlin and now Tomlin I'm sure was thinking he was on his way out. As the meeting was about to begin, I was asked to leave. Here, Verian is assisting with the re-building process of the Steelers while I'm outdoors, running around trying to stay warm, and seeking an autograph of Steely McBeam, the teams mascot, to go with my David Copperfield autograph. WTF?!? When I finally caught up to Verian eight hours later for dinner, he says he, Rooney, and Tomlin spoke of:


- Expanding the offense... Problem is, the offense is mired in stale predictability and rampant grab-bagism.
- Restoring depth... Every team has injuries and the ones that actually possess some depth are far better able to handle the challenge.
-The need for speed... The lack of speed is rampant all over the roster. At WR, Nate and Holmes provide good speed, but the plate is bare after that.
- Fix the Blitzing... The blitz packages of the ’07 Steelers were about as senseless and futile as any ever presented in the modern-day NFL, with no coherent approach to timing and spacing. Overall a boring trip for me, especially since I am not a big fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

New York City, here we come.


Verian and I were welcomed by Ty Warner himself at the airport. Ty Warner you ask... is the owner of the Four Seasons Hotel in New York, but better known for launching the Beanie Babies back in 1993. Ty became a billionaire when the niche collectible became a nationwide fad. Verian met with Ty on this trip to share his thoughts on yet another idea, as he did with the Beanie Babies years ago. As they discussed their plans, I spent my day in the Four Seasons Ty Warner Penthouse, which occupies the entire 52nd floor of the Four Seasons Hotel.


The Ty Warner Penthouse offered a breathtaking 360-degree view of all Manhattan. With TVs programmed for every channel worldwide, unlimited global telephone calling (no, not unlimited phone sex), the services of both a personal butler and a personal trainer/therapist, and a private chauffeur for unlimited travel during my stay (with a choice of a Rolls Royce Phantom or a Mercedes Maybach), I was thinking Verian could take all the time in the world he needed. I didn't leave the Penthouse for 3 days. When I needed air, I went to the outdoor Zen garden with a green Bowenite waterfall that overlooked downtown Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. Yeah, I had just a little bit more fun in New York, than I had in Pittsburgh.

When I finally caught up with Verian, I asked where our next stop was going to be. "You tell me, anywhere you want to go is fine with me" he said. I asked that maybe we can spend a few days out with the ladies, maybe a little romance (aka one-night stands), have a few drinks, wild sex... anything but hanging out with your business partners. Quite frankly, Verian, I'm tired of you showing off... LOL!!!


So off to Rome we went.


We stayed at the Villa La Cupola Hotel Westin Excelsior... home of of Europe’s largest hotel suite. Compared to the Ty Warner Penthouse, it was nothing but a Motel 6 to me. So as I'm kicking back watching a movie from a private cinema with Dolby surround sound in my suite, Verian calls down from the floor above (the fitness area and Jacuzzi) and says that the Pope is giving Mass in front of thousands of people tomorrow and that we should go. At least Verian won't bail on me here, so I figured why not. When we arrived at the Vatican City, Verian and I start working our way through the crowd towards the front. As we get to the front row, Verian says to me "be right back"... and I'm thinking what the heck, why didn't he take care of business at the Hotel?


So 15 minutes go by with Verian nowhere in sight. I'm thinking, this is his idea, and now he's not here. The Pope then comes out onto the balcony and right there beside him is Verian! I'm scratching my head as the Pope and Verian wave to the crowd, and remember saying to myself, don't tell me he knows the Pope also?


Shortly afterwards, I passed out. Verian later came back and found me on a stretcher and was yelling "Wake up! Wake up!" When I came to, Verian asked, "what happened?" I looked at him and said, "okay, I can see "Kirk" Kerkorian, I can see Pittsburg Steelers owner Dan Rooney and head coach Mike Tomlin... I can see Ty Warner... hell, I can even take you knowing the Pope... but when two young ladies in Not2Visible_31 and aka_rockin_canadian_girl standing next to me asked 'who's that up there standing next to Verian'... that was a little more than I could handle! "Just take me home, Verian."


"America, make our FOUNDING FATHERS proud! Vote Ron Paul for President."


Let me guess, Verian... you met Ron Paul originally while living in the Pittsburgh suburb of Green Tree, Pennsylvania? That would be better than hearing that the two of you were on the debate team at Gettysburg College.
