OK, you are down but you are not down, hopefully hopeless. The crystal ball broken, you cannot read the future. Welcome to the club, Shine.

BTW, you do not want to hear what Dr. Phil says about weight gain.

Since this is poetry day, I found one for you too. I do not want you to think it is only Pam, that gets the erudition. Let's see if Pablo Neruda got it:

Quote:

No te quiero sino porque te quiero
y de quererte a no quererte llego
y de esperarte cuando no te espero
pasa mí corazón del frío al fuego.

Te quiero sólo porque a tí te quiero,
te odio sin fín, y odiándote te ruego,
y la medida de mí amor viajero
es no verte y amarte como un ciego.

Tal vez consumirá la luz de enero,
su rayo cruel, mí corazón entero,
robándome la llave de sosiego.

En esta historia sólo yo me muero
y moriré de amor porque te quiero,
porque te quiero, amor, a sangre y fuego.




I do not love you but because I love you
and loving you to not loving you I arrive
and waiting for you when I do not await you
my heart passes from cold to fire.

I love you only because I love you,
I endlessly hate you, and hating you I beg of you,
and the measure of my fluctuating love
is not to see you and loving you blindly.

Perhaps the light of January will consume,
with its cruel ray, my whole heart,
stealing from me the key of inner peace.

In this story only I will die
and I will die of love because I love you
because I love you, love, with blood and with fire.
