P!nk's Words of Wisdom

i was watching some repeat oprah episode tonight with alecia moore, better known as pink, as the guest.

they were talking about her famous grammy (emmy?) performance with the cirque de soleil bidness & her new(est) album, funhouse. they then moved on to discuss her year-long breakup from her husband. i didn't realize that one of my favorite pink songs, "i don't believe you," is what brought them back together. i love that!

oprah then asked what she learned from that time apart.

pink said that she used to think that she was perfect & in their time apart, she learned to recognize her weaknesses & work on herself. her dad always told her...

"think of 20 things you want in a partner. now make sure you have all of those."

i thought that was so intriguing.

what's on your list??

it got me thinking. here's mine:

intelligent

funny

fun

sexually attractive (good looking, zexy body)

i mean, come on. it's important.

affectionate

generous

adventurous

manly

open-minded

interesting

interested in music & travel

social

tactful

confident & assertive

independent & self-sufficient

easy-going

loyal/committed

humble & level-headed

has manners, values, faith, & a good family

wants to get married & have a family (in the future, not right now!)

short of being manly, i hope i possess most of these qualities. it is a bit of a wake up call though. i can't set my expectations so high for someone else when i have so many things i'd like to improve about myself.

so until i reach my personal level of perfection, it's time to open my mind a little further. and get to the gym.
