on the things i think about sometimes

I just saw the best movie I have seen in a long time, it is called, “Kicking and Screaming.” No it’s not the Will Farrell movie about soccer, it’s a movie by Noah Baumbach about a group of guys who have just graduated and have no idea what to do with themselves after college. There are several scenes with amazing dialogue in the movie, but the best one is at the very end. In the beginning of the movie there is a couple that breaks up because the girl is going to Prauge for whatever reason, so she leaves the guy she’s with. Well in the end there is a flashback of something like the third meeting between the two. The girl is walking down a sidewalk and the guy comes running up to her. At first there is some small talk, but then the guy states that he wishes they were an old married couple. He says if they were he could kiss her and she would probably be delighted, but as it is if he kissed her it would seem to forward and if it were their first meeting and he kissed her she probably would have slapped him. There’s also a kind of related scene in an airport I’d like to speak about, but I won’t because if anyone else actually watches this movie I don’t want to ruin it for them

I know that seems pretty random, but it kind of mirrors how I feel about things. I can’t wait to be half of an old married couple. I guess it’s because I have an overwhelming fear of being alone for the rest of my life. I mean I’ve liked girls and I even like one now whom I feel likes me back, but until the day you’re married there are no guarantees on anything. I’m not saying I want to rush into getting married or even into a super serious relationship, but I dunno. I guess it’s just a nice thought not to have to worry about girls anymore. I’ve been kind of cloudy in my head about a lot of things lately.

I’m sure everything will be fine though…

btw: this just as a side note. i know a lot of ppl read this page, some of which i might even know irl, so please know that this page is not a venue for me to leave subtle hints or specific messages to certain people. this is a place where i write down the things that i am thinking about or are bothering me. obviously people i know will be referenced, but for the most part i try to refrain from using names. a common misconception about blogs is that the writers write specifically for others to read, but in reality i think the writer gets more from writing it down than from a reader reading it. in my case that is true. although as a reader i hope that over the past four years that i've been doing this site the chronicling constant transformation of who i was to who i am is interesting....
