We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
What a lovely little note.
Reminds me of someone... <3
sniff-sniff (grabbing tissue box).
Too schmaltzy for this late at night.
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeesy.
cheesy, yes...
but still, it might work:-) you never know...
Hmm. The sun rising and the moon setting are remarkable events? Don't know where you're from but that happens pretty much every day around these parts.
I know, I know, the whole point is that it's all poetic and beautiful sounding. I just felt like being a smartass.
I'm with you, "just me"...it's the sort of sentiment that might make a girl swoon at about age 15...but it doesn't do anything for me.
"Love sees not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind." (Shakespeare)
This one doesn't seem to engage the mind much, though...hope the recipient enjoyed it anyway.
Dude, you're trying too hard.
Saying something is 'remarkable' is a self-fulfilling prophecy: It MUST be remarkable because you just remarked.
I think people say 'it goes without saying' way too much. If it really went without saying, you'd never need that phrase. But I digress.
I think it seems creepy, like something a stalker would write. Yeah I don't think that it sounds at all remarkable --- the sun setting and rising --- not original either.
I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see bad times today.
Don't go around tonight,
Well, its bound to take your life,
Theres a bad moon on the rise.
Busy old fool, unruly sun
Why dost thou thus,
through windows and through curtains call on us?
Must to thy motions lovers' season run?
Saucy pedantic wretch...
Saucy pedantic wretch??!
Don't talk about my Maxine that way! *sniff*
I wonder if this is an effective networking tool.
(Going by hand-writing) What he's saying is that she has turned his life upside down - and this is QUITE original. A 15-year old might not know that this hasn't been said before, but the originality of the description makes it heartfelt, and therefore very touching, to me
@Effie, I <3 you, srsly. I <3 anyone who can quote Donne like that. Dear Donne. Yes, he was a bit cracked, but that's ok...all geniuses are a bit tetched. You're allowed to be cracked if you can write like that. (I refer to his prose as well as his poetry.)
Can't you see this dude sitting in his hotel room the night before his convention starts writing a bunch of these cards up in case he sees a hot chick?
There's something much too practiced about this little note.
I would have swooned to have received something like this in my 20's or 30's. Now in my late 40's, nothing. Run girl, run like the wind! Anyone can think up crap like this...it's the actions that show the true heart.
easier to write something sweet than actually treat someone like they're special.
someone was sure looking to get lucky that night!!!
you had me right up until the last word. "remarkable" is the best 'great' word or phrase you could come up with? awe-inspiring? wonderful? transforming? a religious experience? earth-shattering?
"remarkable" makes me go back and realize like 'just me in my house' pointed out, "wait, the sun rises every single day. so you meet someone like me every day? remarkable!"
Most people take it for granted but really it's the most constant in our lives. Now this dude made bad, sloppy, poetry from it.
the full moon sets just as the sun rises. Therefore, the two can never share the same sky when they're at their fullest potential.
remarkable.
@baby basil, I've not read any of his prose, only his poetry, which is, well...remarkable!
What?! Like two ships passing in the night?
witnessing the sun rising while the moon sets can be awe inspiring but I doubt anyone else in the galaxy notices, considering there's another 168 moons in our solar system, and 200 billion stars with trillions of other moons in our galaxy.
i think it's funny... and no body can be this cheesy by accident
I like it... leave the kid alone. I swooned for a moment..
Mona, I am with you on that one. Actions speak louder than words...
Still, if someone left this for me, I may take the bait. It has been a long time since I've been courted this way.
Supertramp..so true.
(p.s. I loved the band Supertramp.)
I could use a lil poetry in my life.
"that transition in the celestial make up of our galaxy..."
what?
there is no transition in the celestial make up of our galaxy just because the earth - a little ball of rock around one of many stars in our particular galaxy - happens to rotate.
not so much remarkable as ridiculous.
Actually the owner has this printed on the back of everyone of his bizness cards - so he passes them out to every chick he meets...
@Night in gale: Go see "Shakespeare in Love."
"I shall have poetry in my life."
Yeah, but don't let anyone put a mouse down your back.
I'd rather see *The Dark Side of the Moon*. Now that would be...remarkable.
I think it's more of this guy finding that somewhere, a quote, and loving it so much that he wrote it down and then remarked upon it.
I think it's sweet.
I work in downtown Fort Worth (where this was found) and I NEVER find anything like this! (or like anything else, for that matter...)But, I'm always on the lookout!
This sounds like the text on one of those "best friends" greeting cards. Like, the first part is on the front and then you open it and it says: "REMARKABLE!!"
Love,
Amy, your BFF.
i love the fact that it's all spaced out so nicely and in capitals, and the 'remarkable' is squeeeeeezed on the end... it's like an afterthought - he maybe wrote the first bit and intended to leave it at that, thinking she'd just 'get' what he meant without further explanation, but then at the 11th hour he lost his bottle and added 'remarkable' just to clarify the point.
bless him :)
Hi tracey, did you get to any of the Found events?
I hadn't noticed that before. Reading it again, I think maybe he (I'm assuming it's a 'he') reckoned the comparison could stand on its own, then realised it might not, so he had to add something to explain it, and 'life-changing' (or 'bloody marvellous') wouldn't fit.
Oh, that's what you just said.
Duh.
sorry, tracy not tracey. Evidently not reading straight tonight :-(
Dude, you are such a fucking loser. You = FAIL.
That is all.
