In my last blog, I mentioned that my dream "date" would be between Jesus Christ or Sting, former lead singer for The Police. Don't get me wrong, like many people, I would want to meet 
Jesus, but I think His dance card would be millions of miles long! Why would I want to meet Jesus face to face? Well, think of the answers to many questions that most of us have. What was he thinking when he created flowers? On my best days, I'm only marginally creative. I don't have it in me to have thought of even a fraction of the colors displayed in orchids alone. And the color combinations...breathtaking! My husband is a graphic designer and he's got a PMS color fan on him at all times (you know, the color thing you get from Sherwin Williams or at Home Depot's paing department). I never knew how many different shades of pink there could be. And I don't even LIKE pink!

Good medical science, reformed nutrition and my strength of will will, hopefull, delay that date. In the meantime, Sting is my #2. Why Sting, you may ask? Even if you didn't ask, I'll happily tell you. Sting (born Gordon Matthew Sumner) is one of the all-time greatest story tellers in history. Not just an opionion, his consistent presence on the top of music charts and his profitability confirm this. I once saw him on a show called, oddly enough, "Storytellers," and he commented on his unique style of lyricism. Nearly 90% of rock songs have to do with love--either falling in love, being in love, or losing love. Not very varying in depth, I would say. Sting has addressed world politics, economics, antiquities and a whole realm of issues, some hard hitting and some quite silly. Sometimes, the songs can even masquerade as silly, take "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da" for example. At first hearing, one might consider this a bizarre little tune. Why would a trio of grown men make baby noises? In fact, this song blasts the hypocrisy found in political figures when they speak down to the electorate. That's a timeless sentiment in my book!
Anyway, please shoot me your choice for best date. I'd love to hear it!
