...your girlfriend was just like me? No? I figured you wouldn't, seeing as I'm a dude, and if your girlfriend was a dude, you'd be gay.. unless you were a lesbian, in which case... your girlfriend... would.. uhm. It's not important really, as it was just a link to today's post, which is about the old 'let's pretend' game.
Don't you wish real life was like the movies sometimes? I know I do. Imagine, if you'd please, situations where you've thought about doing something they do in the movies. Like be the doc that studies medical journals for days and nights on end, and discover the minimal molecular flaw that caused the pregnancy to go wrong, effectively saving the child and ensuring happiness. Or be the guy that bursts into the church, right when the priest says: "speak now or forever hold your peace!", shouting your undying love for the bride, telling her you know it won't be easy making things work, but you still think she'd be better off with you. Perhaps be the guy that goes through a lot of weird shit in life, before finally one day, in what alcoholics refer to as a moment of clarity, realize what you are supposed to do with your life, and then have the motivation and enthusiasm to just make it happen.
Ever thought about those things? No? Naaaah... me neither. Sigh.
