Sensory Deception

I don’t know what it is lately but I keep having situations happen that remind me of a pleasurable experience in the past.  Examples:

•I happened to see Tina Fey on 30 Rock last week.  I have never seen her or the show before but I had heard of her.  When I looked at her I was taken aback because she looks like someone that I dated in the past.  More accurately her eyes are an almost exact match…they could be sisters.  This is itself is not a big deal but this connection caused me to “feel” a pang for a brief moment.  A sudden and intense rush of pleasant memories ran through my head and my heart?  Strange.

•I had a female sales rep stop in the other day and she was wearing perfume.  One whiff of this scent and I made another surreal connection with someone that I had dated in the past.  Once more vivid and intense memories of a person, long ago and triggered by a scent.

•I was talking to a customer service representative yesterday and her voice sent me on a quick trip to a pleasant time in my life long, long ago.  Her voice sounded the same as a past flame, I almost thought of asking her if in fact she WAS that person.

•I went to get coffee today and the woman that was serving was wearing clothing and jewellery that was typical of a certain culture and immediately reminded me of yet another person from the past.

•I read some specific words in a post the other day that made me “feel” an intimate connection with the author.  I had seen those words before, different author and different time yet the result was the same.

I mentioned this sudden onslaught of “triggers” that reminded me of the past to my brother.  Leave it up to a man, especially a brother to make sense of it all by telling me, “You are just horny”.  Oh…that’s all?  Thanks for helping me out!

These triggers and the subsequent reminiscing are not sexually based, there is no sexual tension involved, just warm feelings.  The warm feelings are like a reincarnation of “infatuation” from that previous relationship.  It is not the “love” or sex but the innocent crush from those days that comes back to me.  The overall vision of the person revived from my memory is vague and blurry and there is no specific activity recollected…just an uncanny, yet comforting feeling.

In a way I like it…yet in another it makes me wonder…why are these “triggers” happening so frequently these days?

Ask and you shall receive

If any of you are just happening by and may have not had the chance to read a bit more about the male author of this site, I am 44 years old, living common-law and have 2-5 kids depending on the day of the week.  I don’t go to clubs often and spend my weekends around the house.  For a real thrill I will go antique browsing with my wife.  In my personal spare time I write in this blog.  Exciting isn’t it?  Well, as of today…things have changed!!

Like many people, I have a “free” email address; mine is with Hotmail.  You have the option of setting up a profile with your account and put in pertinent details about your person.  Mine is very basic.  It has my name (not my real one) and says 44 year old married man living in GTA (Greater Toronto Area)  That’s it!  So imagine my surprise when fate was able to match me (based on the most basic of info) to the girl of my dreams!  Now I don’ t mean one of those computer generated spam “come-ons” like “Hi big Fella, I saw your profile and I like you.  Why don’t you say hello.  You can talk to me at www.getalifeyouloser.com.  Please have your credit card ready!”  No, this is REAL!!

I have mentioned in some of my posts that I DO beleive in fate.  I do beleive that some people on this planet are “destined” to cross paths…or at least I hold that ideal close to heart.  So yesterday my ship came in, my prayers were answered and soon Lady Luck shall be by my side.  I know, I know…I am married and all but I am sure that my honey will understand when I explain that the girl I have been waiting for my entire life just happened to show up later in my life than I expected.  No hard feelings, don’t worry I’m sure your “Pierce Brosnan” is coming to your inbox soon.  Good luck and have a nice life!!
I know that I should keep this to myself because relationships are supposed to be personal BUT I wanted all of the other guys out there to share in my renewed faith in fate. This CAN and WILL happen to you someday as well.  Never give up hope!  I also secretly wanted to show off the girl that I will “hugging from behind” next week.

PLEASE!  No jealousy…you all have fate working for you…it just may not be using free web-based email software like mine does.  Your fate may be slower or have trust issues…it just may be using the postal service instead.

Without further delay, I present to you the letter from the “chosen” love of my life…my fate.
