Life, Love and L Word

I was bored Saturday...had plenty to do, no kid for the weekend, and my wife was working, however, I felt compelled to watch the 1st season of the L Word. The beautiful couple, Bette and Tina as we met them. Bette, wearing the pants in the relationship vs. mousy Tina. Still, they had passion, they had a beautiful chemistry, they were so in love. As the season progresses, the ups and downs, the affair that tore them apart, it was all so real and so powerful.

It amazes me how these 2 actresses can make something ficticious SO real! The kissing, the love making, the love between them....so much passion.....beautiful acting! My stomach gets butterflies when I think of them together. I've watched every season to see Bette & Tina come closer and then apart and closer and apart...it's so frustrating. I had this hope after last week's episode that they were coming back together. Then I'm left hanging after last night's episode. Damn you I.C. for making us wait. Keeping us wondering!

I started to think about my own life and my own relationship with my beautiful wife. We've come along way in 3 years. She's my first and only relationship with a woman and despite the nerves I had to overcome with all the firsts, it's been so comfortable. Being with a woman truly is a beautiful thing. One of my greatest accomplishments in life is being true to myself and accepting my life for what it is...extraordinary!

Watching The L Word was refreshing. I wanted what these actresses were simply "acting" out because it was so real to me. I made a promise to myself that every kiss from now on would be passionate, every touch would be from the heart, and every chance I had, I would make love to my wife. A fire was burning inside me. I wanted a life full of love and joy and passion.

Jen is the best thing that has happened to me. She's challenged me, loved me, brought me joy, made me think, showed me how to love and be loved. I love her so much!
