Square Pegged

No, this blog is not about the wonderful 80's sitcom staring that beautifully awkward Sarah Jessica Parker, my apologies. Rather it is about the feeling of knowing exactly who you are. Recently i have been told by several people to see the move The Holiday (left) because apparently i am exactly like Kate Winslet's character...to a T. Now knowing very little about the movie and feeling slightly underwhelmed because i was hoping to hear i was more like Cameron Diaz...she's a fox, i watched the movie anyways. In the very first scene Winslet is monologuing about love in all its forms and how it reaches each and every one of us.

I've found almost everything ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said "Journeys end in lovers meeting." What an extraordinary thought. Personally, I have not experienced anything remotely close to that, but I am more than willing to believe Shakespeare had. I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should. I am constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said "love is blind". Now that is something I know to be true. For some quite inexplicably, love fades; for others love is simply lost. But then of course love can also be found, even if just for the night. And then, there's another kind of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victims. Its called unrequited love. Of that I am an expert.

When Kate says these words i came short of breathe. I say those words, i believe those things, i feel that way about love and about life. I am undeniably obsessed with love even though i have never really been in it. I constantly wish to be in love with someone so perfect so wonderful that i forget that that person does not love me back, not even at all. As hard as i try to make him as much as i try to forget the bad he has done to me i still found myself in love with him. But no more. Kate's character in the end finds someone new. She realizes that it is much greater to find someone who loves you back and lets you live your life freely as the star, she finds an indescribable love. So, i apologize to those who told me i am this character, because i overreacted. Yes once i was that girl hoping that some day that guy would come to his senses and all the past would be gone, but no i know that's not what love is. That's not how love is supposed to be. So thank you Kate Winslet, Jack Black, Jude Law and Cameron Diaz for opening my eyes and opening my heart.

**if you haven't noticed it's a SERIOUSLY great movie! Go rent it! NOW!

Between Barrack and a Hard Place

There is much controversy circulating around prospective 2008 Presidential candidate, Barrack Obama. Not in my circle. The only debate aroused is over his universal sex appeal. The conversation is as follows:

Muffin: Wow i just love Barrack Obama
Katz: I know right, finally a president with charisma, strong morals, and his handsome too!
Girl: It seems like forever since we have had a good looking president!
Katz: Kennedy? Taft? It really has been awhile
Muffin: Nope it was a mere 8 years ago when we were graced by the stud himself...Bill Clinton.
Girl: Seriously! Bill was the shit! I can't blame Monica, and if Barack wins i guarantee some girl is gonna go all Monica Lewinsky on his ass.
Muffin: Word
Katz: (shakes her head in shame)

So here's hoping! Barrack Obama President 2008. Get ready for total OBAMANATION!

BABEL

Communication is defined as the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs. However often times certain thoughts and expressions can be misinterpreted leaving one party very confused. Apparently, often times the other party cons ques the message as sexual or seductively misleading. I am going to list for you some commonly used phrased, that apparently, insinuate that I am strongly sexually attracted to you.

Hey how was your day today?
Hope you have a safe flight.
Do you know what the biology homework was?
Good luck at your game tonight!
Hope you feel better soon.

So i am sorry to those party's who felt that these simple everyday phrases which i use frequently with teachers and my mother were contemplated as sexual and lusting. Maybe everyone should get a translator to interpret the true nature of what they are saying.
