Girls, Guys, and Everything Else That's Fucked Up In Life
ponder this...

destinys child captures what im trying to prove in their song "emotion":

in the words of a broken heart
its just emotions taking me over
caught up in sorrow lost in the song
but if you dont come back
come home to me darling
dont you know theres nobody left in this world to hold me tight
dont you know theres nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight

the song obviously tells the tale of a poor girl (poor meaning unfortunate, but she could be financially unsuccessful too) who is so overcome with emotions over this one equally unfortuante man that she has to make up a hit song about the whole situation.  its a catchy tune, its lovey dovey, but have you ever just sat down and looked at the lyrics.  "in the words of a broken heart, its just emotions..."  dude, the chick is saying right here that her irrational feelings towards this one guy is driving her nuts.

THIS IS WHY...

*...i dont believe in love.  love is an illusion, an irrational feeling that makes you do stupid shit (i.e. make up songs, spend money, change image, et cetera)

*...i dont buy it when girls say "all boys suck" or guys say "all girls suck."  by your interpretation we all suck so we are all made for each other.

*...i argue with people who say "all (boys/girls) suck."  well dude, of course theyre going to suck if thats your presumption.

hasnt your mommy ever told you?  if you think positive, it will happen.  so if you think negative what happens?  thats right boys and girls.  if you think negative about the opposite sex they will all be categorized in your desired presumption.  you will inevitably find a flaw and base a whole characterization on that single flaw.  so instead of seeing a person by who he or she really is, you will be so blinded by your past, your irrational feelings for this person, et cetera, that perfection is less than acceptable.

so let me put what i just said in laymens terms:

you strive to find whats wrong in a person before striving to find whats right

ponder this oh weary hopeless romantic, and i do mean hopeless: if the opposite sex sucks so much, why dont you just turn gay?  it will be a lot less stressful on us, the innocent victim, and you wont ever again have to say that "boys/girls suck."  instead, you will find yourself saying "people suck."

a word to those with presumptions by my friends and yours, matt and ben -

"i know what im doing.  shes different from all the other girls i met.  we have a really good time.  shes smart, beautiful, fun..."

"so christ, call her up."

"why?  so i can realize shes not so smart?  that shes boring.  you dont get it.  right now shes perfect.  i dont want to ruin that."

"and right now youre perfect too.  maybe you dont want to ruin that.  well i think thats a super philosophy, will, that way you can go through your entire life without having to really know anybody... youre not perfect.  and let me save you the suspense, this girl you met isnt either.  the question is, whether or not youre perfect for each other."
