(Actually it's "a portion of thyself"... - Ralph Waldo Emerson)I am a very simple creature.
The male Bowerbirds have a curious method of attracting mates; the male Bowerbird will construct a nest out of sticks and litter the nest with brightly coloured objects - usually blue. They collect bits of plastic, feathers, berries, coins, nails, glass and even rifle shells. The male Bowerbird will spend hours rearranging his treasures, trying to make it just right for his potential mate.
I love this. I love how this little guy will collect meagre artifacts of crap and spend hours rearranging them to make it look good. I am like this. I'll find, make or buy pitiful symbols of my love and scatter them around the people important to me (I think this is also a dog thing as per previous blog entry). I have found that this gets me into trouble also. I was once told that the recipient felt like I had a hidden agenda.

No. :-) I am just a stupid dog/Bowerbird. I give these stupid things as a simple gesture of my love. Nothing more. Nothing less. Just smile and be thankful. (Yes, like a dog) I am happy when I see that I have made you happy. That's probably the most important thing to me.
Thanks for the little piece of sprite bottle Ethan.. :-)
