so lately ive been noticing a surge of people trying to essential, trying to drop knowledge. most often than not they just sound like tools or cocky bastards! with my blogs, im not trying to change the world or anyone else. ive decided that people are who they are...my messages are simply for thought, take it as you may. the senseless droning of quotes spat from "someone once said" type shit is gettin tiring. dont live...nore base ur life of one sentence. you are a human, you are more than that! along with this mindless reiteration of great writers, comes action. dont just quote or say...DO! words me nothing without action. also remember that just because someone doesnt do it HOW YOU WOULD DO IT...doesnt mean its totally wrong. what works for them, doesnt necessarily mean it'll work for you, n vice versa...so ur endless quotes n homemade poetry cant always help...ANYONE for that matter...
(except for Abi's writing which is awesome)
so lets move on...
its maybe cuz im runnin on 2 hours of sleep...but last night i saw one of my favorite movies...Cant Hardly Wait. the classic late 90s teen flick about coming of age and coming to grips with the uncertain future. a senior class has a last hoorah at the end of their senior year, people patch up loose ends and the main character tries to tell the girl of his dreams how he feels about her. the movie progresses with comedic situations and often got me nostalgic about my years in high school. as we all kno the end, the boy gets the girl or girl gets the boy...however you want to see it.
its an entertaining movie. BUT! it hit far to hard home...(i know you all are thinking...oh shit CMC is ranting about his relationship life...or lack there of it, just hear me out its good, i maybe sleepy, which is very close to being drunk, but i'll be entertaining n insightful!) i blame these sappy love movies possibly for how i act now. it always ends with the couple together. not to say that these situations are entirely believe able, they are, it all cant truthfully happen. but i saw these movies at such an influential age. i really thought, love can just happen like that...over night, during a party, after rescuing the girl, winning the basketball championship, showing up the the high school musical! life just doesnt work like that. life has real heartbreak...more often than not, the boy doesnt get the girl. like i said, i blame these movies for puttin the notion that it is THAT easy! if i wrote a love story, it would definitely end in tragedy. like how they used to write. just based on my life tho. not to say that i have lost my faith in my own life, no thats not what im saying. im saying to give these stories some true to life content...Romeo must Die...
i got sidetracked. oh yea, soo these movies put the notion that its a happy rainbow at the end. i dont wanna sound bitter and that these movies turned me into a bitter person who hates love n everyone in love. i LOVE..LOVE. i love to see two people happy. im totally not against these movies, im just sayin it might have fucked with me a bit, but i did turn out some good things from these movies:
1. its turned me into a sensitive guy...but im not no bitch! (excuse the language)i know how to listen, i pay attention...im sensitive to the needs of a woman
2. ive learned chivalry.
3. ive learned to speak my mind
4. i think ive learned a clouded watered down version of love...but with my personal experiences i think, i've found my own definition.
i think the biggest lesson that ive learned and that some of my own friends envy is hope. hope that there is never an end all of end alls. that somewhere out there. that not this time...but next time. that theres always next season. all these characters in these movies have hope. hope that things will get better, lucky for them they are in the movie, hope is automatic. i just wish it was that simple n shure in real life.
hope my friend n my enemy.
as i learned from my english teachers in the past, essays have no value unless i have cited works...so heres where i am now. let me tell you about how ive been operating lately. id like to say ive moved from this fairy tale type life where im completely relying on hope. science has taken over. and for the hell of me...science makes more sense in my mind. its a thing of validity...or sureness. i cant or its difficult for me to take that leap, whereas before i'd jump the cliff of any old fight. in a sense its my maturity, but sometime in life u just need to let go and JUMP! for example, in the moive Sarah Marshall, the main charater has a metaphoric type "jump" off a cliff, but it was actually a jump to get over Sarah Marshall and into the arms of his real love interest.
either im TERRIFIED TO MAKE THE JUMP....or science's shureness and facts are holding me back. i think about takin the leap...but then i think of the consequences. back n forth im fighting myself. but now i think im ready. im bout to take the leap. im hoping for a "Cant Hardly Wait" response, but preparing for a "Sweet November" response, ultimately hoping for "The Notebook" ending.

i love it! u ARE rambling lol but i still understood. and please i beg of u, go watch 500 Days of Summer. Oh, and I totally agree about not having to follow advice and doing shit ur own way. I give out good advice sometimes but I never expect to listen because I don't even listen. Life throws u curveballs. Sometimes u just gotta follow ur instincts.
yea if anything, what ive learned from these last few years is that life is unpredictable. theres never a uniform way to take care of a certain situation. i often hope n wish for an easy clear cut solution to anything, as in something like math, the answer is definate! roll with the punches, you do give out excellent advice. word up!
