weBLOG for October 16th, 2004

The movie I quoted yesterday was "Parenthood" with Steve Martin. It's hilarious, which is one of the reasons that I like it. But, being raised by my mother since I was 7 years old, a quote I'll always remember is the one uttered by Keanu Reaves that I included yesterday. I'll pose the question to you all; Is it worse to have a bad father, or no father at all?

I wanted to bring up two things today.

Three, maybe.

All right, four if I'm not careful.

1.
I gotta stop whining. Chicks are a dime a dozen, and I could get more than my fair share, but I really choose not to. I could get a lot more play if I were just a little bit more forceful, assertive; but that's not who I am. I'm not the type of guy to quote Tim Robbins from "Bull Durham;" "So, is someone gonna go to bed with someone else, or what?" I know there are a lot of girls out there who like what I'm offering, but I'm not gonna order a plate without knowing what's in it first.

2.
Since my niece is a blanket hog, I never got to see where my dream was going last night. I woke up in the dark, shivering, to find my niece with the entire blanket wrapped around her little body. And I had just started to kiss Hilda. Oh well.

3.
I'm good-looking. I started working out recently, and while I may not look any different, and results haven't started showing up yet, I feel WONDERFUL. And I came to the conclusion that I am good-looking and charming and sweet; and everything a woman could want. If someone isn't interested in me, that's because there's a problem with her. Either she could not be ready for a relationship, chooses not to be ready for a relationship, is not sure whether or not she wants to be ready for a relationship, doesn't want a relationship with me; etc. But now I know it isn't a problem with me.

4.
And now, to a topic I bring up CONSTANTLY.
Monica's my friend. I love her to pieces. She's decided not to be with me, and I can live with that. But, being with family yesterday, and recalling times of the past; I wish she could have been there. I wish she could have been there to listen, and to smile, and laugh, and share; and not for the reason that you all, and she, think. I wanted her to be there because if she can't be a part of me and my future, I want her to be part of a large, loving, dysfunctional family, whose roots extended all across this country, and would bend over backwards for anything she might ever need. A bond that would never break, no matter what might happen between she and I.

So, those are my four points for the night. Yeah, I'm mentioning names now. I don't give a shit. These are my thoughts. You all are invading my brain. Share it with the world, if you like.

One last thing: If you hold a rose in your hand, you'll notice it's inherent beauty, but you might never be tempted to look deeper, and see the imperfections it has; imprefections that might cause you to think the rose is actually defective. I'm looking deeper. Might I find an imperfection?
