RALPH ON RELATIONSHIPS: PREDICTIONS AND SUCH LEAD TO RUIN.

KERMIT ON MY HEAD. JUDGE ME.

KERMIT ON MY HEAD. JUDGE ME.

Recently, I’ve observed some of my friends, those that are single and are growing bored of mingling, going for theirs. With gusto, they’re pulling out all the stops for the ones they want to love – the girl or guy of their proverbial dreams. Those are what their dreams are what their future is made of.  We’ve all seen it before – the formative stages occur and they get to know each other.  Sometimes, their intensity level isn’t evenly matched. Now what?  The one …

RALPH ON RELATIONSHIPS – CONFIDENCE.

 

REMEMBER: YOU ARE NUMBER 1.

REMEMBER: YOU ARE NUMBER 1.

In relationships, especially when it comes to romantic ones, CONFIDENCE is everything.  If you don’t believe in yourself, how can you successfully pitch yourself to be with someone? Think of yourself as a hot commodity – one of internal and external value.  What do you bring to the table?  Only you can decide.

I can’t stress this enough.  There is no reversal to this rule.  Lacking confident is one of the most unattractive traits anyone could have that’s always a deal breaker in starting …

Triage Thursday – When Things Left Unsaid Goes Wrong.

SHAKE MY HAND.

SHAKE MY HAND.

I haven’t heard from her or of her in months. I really didn’t think twice of the passage of time between the last time we spoke and the present day. We’ve been through bouts like this – get close for a few weeks, then drop off for a few months. Repeat. Spin. Cycle. Dry. Repeat. Besides I’ve had my own laundry to tend to.

But nonetheless, I saw someone that knew her, and I knew they’d see her soon. I told him to pass the message. Simply, …

RALPH ON RELATIONSHIPS: THE NECESSITY OF ISOLATION.

 

I LOVE SINGLE RALPH

I LOVE SINGLE RALPH

The basics of a relationship: those that comprise your family, your friends.  When you become intimate, you start throwing words around like your “best friend” or your “boyfriend.” Then there comes being engaged to someone, to be married.  And then there is the ultimate relationship – marriage.

But I’m not even going that far. The relationship question today is, for sanity sake is that is it necessary to be in a romantic relationship?

Just from observation, I notice that people are at their happiest when …

Ralph on Relationships: Leaving Things Unsaid.

SMUDGES. DON'T MAKE IT WORSE.

SMUDGES. DON'T MAKE IT WORSE.

Samantha thought that her boyfriend at the time, Mike, went too far.  At best, their up-and-down relationship of some eight months has steadily been on the decline for the majority of it, and his actions too asinine to mention were finally the straw that broke the camels back.

As far as Sam was concerned, she was back on the market.  Facebook Status: Single – much to the chagrin of Mike, the current ex-boyfriend.

That chagrin lead to pseudo-contempt on Mike’s part – slandering and disparaging …

RALPH ON RELATIONSHIPS – THE POWER OF POWER.

End of the Road.

End of the Road.

In recent days, it’s been all eyes on State College.  Penn State, the home of the Nittney Lions have been embattled with legal woes that reach far beyond their football and athletic program – it’s a matter of people that have been hurt, specifically, children that have a difficult time fending for themselves.

Relationships always encompass power and influence, for without a relationship with another there wouldn’t be any need for power or influence. Evil can lurk or opulence can shine out of any situation, any …

Ralph on Relationships: I’ll Be There.

TO HELL AND BACK.

TO HELL AND BACK.

Napoleon once said, “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” This axiom is true.  Surely, if you are living life on earth with the billions of other people, not every one of these you come across will like you or what you stand for.  Unfortunately, this axiom seems true in respect to people you know and love.  Oftentimes, we watch our loved ones make mistakes, and we let it go, since we don’t want to hurt feelings.

WHY DO WE DO THAT?

Let …
