these are the roles we choose to play




Like any honest person, I enjoy a good love triangle. However, today as I was watching Dawson's Creek, I realized something. First off, everyone has their own opinions as to who should end up with who. My question is: what is this based on? How are we CONVINCED of who belongs with whom?

In my (very flawed) opinion, Joey belonged with Pacey all along. Leia was always going to be with Han even before she found out Luke was her brother. Kate and Sawyer are meant to be, even though I love Juliet. Hermione should have been with Harry because both Ron and Ginny are absolutely ridiculous. Buffy and Angel are just supposed to be together regardless of the whole vampire/slayer deal and that whole Spike thing. Bella was always going to choose Edward even though Jacob was the easier and better choice. (Personally, she can have whiny/sexy/delicious Edward, I will take fine-as-hell Jacob off her hands) McDreamy belongs with Meredith despite having been married when first they met in that wonderful bar. Peyton and Lucas should be together even though I love Brooke more than the both of them combined. Logan and Veronica should have ended up together even though Piz was totally hot, Logan was just it despite his many flaws. Kelly most definately should have been with good-boy Brandon over the playa Dylan, I guess that whole thing just goes to show that even the best of us can't resist the bad boys...even when they're dating our pseudo-best friend Brenda.

In some cases I was absolutely right. Han and Leia got married and had lots of Jedi babies, Edward and Bella got jiggy with it and had Rosemary's baby, McDreamy and Meredith might just tie that knot pretty soon...

Other times I have been horribly mistaken. Kelly wound up preggers with ass-face Dylan's kid, and Ron married Hermione. Can anyone explain this to me? I'm not sure if I will ever get over the fact that the best character in Harry Potter married the worst. I mean, wtf?

Sometimes, I'm left hanging. I still don't know who Veronica chose because somebody had to go and cancel Veronica Mars. Buffy/Angel/Spike was pretty much left wide open. I will probably never know if Kate and Sawyer end up together. That would be too easy. And Peyton might die in childbirth so I'm leaving the possibility of a Lucas/Brooke reunion open.

Anyways, I couldn't tell you exactly why I feel that these people should be together. I can give proof both to prove my point and to the contrary. I can argue both cases. I'm not completely blind to the evidence there is that Dawson should be with Joey, I just disagree. Why, I don't know. I just do. Maybe it's some deep insight into my inner-psyche. Maybe the couples that I root for say something about myself. All I know is that in my mind, The Epilogue of Deathly Hallows does not exist and Harry and Hermione are happily married and in the process of making babies. And as long as it exists in my mind, I can disregard what anybody else says.

eternity was in our lips and eyes


At present, I am watching Slumdog Millionaire. This movie always has two huge affects on me:

1. I am very glad that I do not live like the slumdogs in India. Those people deserve so much more than sleeping in cardboard huts and washing their clothes in the sewer. The fact that there are people in this world who are still forced to live in such horrible conditions is disgusting. It's 2009. Why are there still people who live off of other people's trash?

2. Everyone should have something to live for. And personally, I think that there is still good in this world. And one day, I hope someone will love me as much as Jamal loves Latika. It is beautiful.

These thoughts lead me to the conclusion that people are stupid. Everyone is constantly complaining about meaningless nuisances when there is so many other things they could be doing. I mean shut up already. Stop complaining about the same crap all the time. Does it really matter? Will you really care in a few years? The answer is no. You won't care and it doesn't matter. The stupid little problems and the boring little complaints that everyone whines about every day don't matter. I bet that if everyone tried to find a REAL problem, they'd come up empty handed. Because for the most part, no one has anything to complain about and nothing is really that bad.

Nothing is ever as good or as bad as it seems.
