Astro-Twins: The Soldier and The Salesman - Mars Saturn in Aspect - Part Four

apocolypse nowBack at the gym today, I ran into Salesman again. He told me he loved me the other day which was… I don’t know. It surprised me but not. How do you love someone who has done nothing but reject you for months?

Not sure what he was talking about I did not respond and he did not elaborate. But anyway, he came in and again there was a gal working out on the machine next to me and the machine on the other side of my broken. And again when he emerged from the locker room, she was gone so he hopped on the machine next to me and asked me if I really had a man.

“Some women just tell you that,” he said.

Well I don’t have a man at the moment, but I sure as hell did back when I said I did. Back when I jumped down his throat, I mean.

“Do I look like a liar?” I asked. “So you think I may be a liar? Well, you’re wrong about that,” I said.

He nodded and I saw no reason to update my situation. I am not looking for a man. Absolutely not. And it’s really none of his business.

“I was going to ask you if you wanted to see that movie… Apocalypto.”

I laughed. There’s the Mars Saturn violence, right? But it’s bigger than that. I saw one of my favorite movies of all time, Apocalypse Now, with the soldier, back in the day. I just shook my head. Astrology is something else.

“That’s a freakishly violent movie,” I said. “Yuck.”

“It’s supposed to be good.”

“Yeah, right.”

I quit talking. He did not. He told me which day he was leaving his job, to move states. I happen to know the soldier is leaving his job as well… on the exact same day. I smiled.

“See how fast the time goes when I’m talking to you,” he said, indicating the timer on the crosstrainer.

“Yep,” I said. I vividly recall working out with the soldier, 30 years ago. We used to do our sit-ups together.

“That’s because we’re soulmates,” he said.

“Soulmates?”

“Yeah. Soulmates.”

“Well that’s funny. You think we’re soulmates? You’re leaving town.”

“It’s only 1000 miles away.”

I laughed. “I think you’re crazy.”

    now you got me laughing Elsa ! is’nt this every woman’s dream ? a guy who falls instantly in love with her and surrenders his power and will immediately and completely ? soulmates even !

    glad to see you “back” and playing with things a bit…

    This guy sounds a little creepy, Elsa.

    Don, I’m confused. How is confessing your love for someone the same as surrendering your power and will? I’m not trying to be contentious, I’m honestly curious.

    Marly, Elsa tells this salesman ” i think you’re crazy” and you say he sounds “a little creepy”. it sounds like this guys confessions of love have not rang true with either of you.

    Jamie, you are so funny!! This salesman sounds like the worst closer, I almost feel sorry for him…! Talk about the cliche hard-sell…reminds me of the guy who sells stolen stuff in Tomkins Square…real old-school in-your-face-fast talker…obvious and pitiful. Don, this is not a woman’s dream…women like intrigue, women like to pursue…women like the hunt…am I wrong, ladies? When a guy comes on like this, he’s just flexing his whatever…he’s just in it for the thrill of the chase…if he were really serious,(and smart!), he’d be more crafty about his seduction…I’ve had this exact experience myself…in the gym, while on the stairmaster…a number of times…trying to be polite while some guy lays his trip on me…I call it SWEATING TO THE OLDIES!!!!!!!

    Sorry about your loss. {v}

    It’s a woman’s dream if the guy saying it is George Clooney

  8. Marly says on 12/27/06 at 7:10 am:

    Don: It’s not that I don’t believe that this guy might be in love with Elsa. I just think he’s not listening to her; all he seems concerned with is whether he can have her or not. She’s saying: I have a man and/or I’m not interested, please stop. And he refuses to listen to her.

  9. Don says on 12/27/06 at 7:47 am:

    absolutely Marly ! - he seems so obsessed with his projections that he finds it impossible to extend the basic consideration to Elsa of respecting her boundries.
