Now is the time in my web page when i Perplect.  

Passion Deficiency. Hello there.  Where does one get Passion from?  Do you have a pill.  Can you get me one?  Ship them here in a bottle?  

  So, those of you who have been paying attention to the challenge might be wondering where and when, and why the challenge started.  Those of you who have not been wondering that but are still here right now reading this...well, you can or not, it is not that important for this entry.  This is the story of where it came from.

  One night last month i was sitting in my and Shar's favourite sushi restaurant, just finished our meal and sitting back and enjoying the atmosphere when i choose that it is time to visit the facilities.  And i do this, i go to the washroom.  Not an unusual thing to do.  As i am in the stall making waves, i notice that someone has chosen to write something on the door of the stall facing me.  They have written, 'I mother earth suck now.'  Basically a stupid thing to write upon the door of a men's room stall in a Japanese restaurant one would have to agree.  But right away i was struck by the fact that someone had to care enough about this band to write this down.
  This means that someone once loved I Mother Earth but now don't and they loved them enough to feel passionate enough to write that on the wall of a stall.  I mean, i guess they might have just had nothing else to say, but still.  It was as i read this that i realized that there is nothing in my life that i feel enough passion that i would write it on the wall of a bathroom stall.  I went back to Shar and told her about it.
   She was a little perplexed.  Neither she nor i could say where passion should come from.  I mean we both could see that it is a thing that is not really in my make up. I don't really count that as a part of my being.  Where does passion come from?  Surely i am capable of feeling passion.  But as i said there is none in my life at this time. 
   We talked about this for a while, we were stymied...where could i get passion from?  Then, both of us not knowing any better suggestion, we came up with love.  If i was in love i would surely feel passion.  So then we decided to talk about what it would take to get me in love.  The plan of waiting around for myself to just meet someone randomly was just not cutting it.  Oddly enough, such women are not just falling out of the sky.  Who could say why.
   This theme proceeded through the evening, our discussions of why i was not meeting women and etc continued.  It was easy to see what the problem was, how could i fall in love if i wasn't meeting women.  So we decided that i need to meet more.  But to get there...well it wasn't just being introduced to more women.  i had to take some steps and make some changes.  Apparently things had to go slow.  So we came up with the challenge.

   On Tuesday this week were back there.  It seems like so long ago that i started the challenge because when i came out of the bathroom this time and said reminded her what the door said, our laugh was one of long memories.

   Passion yet? Not yet.  Love yet?  Not yet.  
Perplexed yet?  Sure!
