yeah, it's 12:30, and me and Chris just finished The Scorpion King, I swear, that's one of the worst movies I've seen in a while. It was so cheesy I laughed. Choreography sucked too. The sword fights, acting, graphics, everything about it was so amateur. The only thing good about it would be the soundtrack, which I'm going to have to find.
Met Kristina's family today...basically, just her mom and stepbrother and stepsister. I think Kristina and I are going to go do something next weekend. Don't know what yet though.
Okay, issue to rant about tonight...er, this morning: the subtle message of the Scorpion King, that love is all about sex. Put bluntly, one tends to reflexively disagree. But think about it for a moment. In the movie, the only "love" between The Rock and that sorceress is sex. She wants his dick, and he's happy to give it to her. That's as complex as it gets. And that's what a lot of guys and girls my age practice. They wouldn't say outright that that's what they think, but that's what they DO. All it seems to be today is "how quickly can I get laid". The way this game is played is pretty complex, but the goal, as stated above, is simple. Take our school's varsity quarterback. He's a stereotypical jock. Very self-possessed From a female's perspective, he's a pretty attractive specimen. He's also possesses a brain the size of a mini marshmallow, and getting into his mind is like diving into a shot glass: it's pretty shallow water here, folks. Well, today at the Fall Fest, the hottest girl at the school seeks him out and proceeds to not let go of him the whole time they're there. Okay, I might be exaggerating a bit, but you understand. That might be his girlfriend, I'm not sure. But she ain't the only one who wants him, that's for sure. Everyday, after school, he's surrounded by girls. And I wonder what they see in him. Hmm, I have an idea. Whenever a person, guy or girl, has a crush on someone, they develop a utopian vision of what a relationship with that person would be like. That's more than likely the case here, both with his girlfriend, and the envious girls who try to steal him away. they think he will provide love, comfort, COMMITMENT....when really all he's doing is trying to sweet-talk them into sex. It's not an overt thought (remember, we're dealing with a branch of humanity that has the IQ of banana pudding), but that's how it ultimately turns out. And if she doesn't go along with it, he just dumps her and picks up another girl. His ex will be broken-hearted and eventually gravitate to another sweet-talking stud. Doesn't learn her lesson. But she'll figure it out before the guy does. The guy may have to wait a good fifteen years before he figures out that younger women aren't really interested in him because they know he's just after sex. Then what's he gonna do? All he's done is screw, and doesn't have a clue as to how to form a lasting relationship.
Anyway, to end this, statistically, the more attractive an individual, the more likely that their marriages are going to end in divorces. Why? for the very reasons stated above. My advice to girls: never go for the top dogs. They're all balls and no brains. Best guys to go after are the ones who aren't so popular, you know, the wallflowers, the ones that just blend into the social mix, the ones that are down to earth, and not so full of themselves. They'll give you what the other guys won't: real love and commitment. To everyone in general: when you first get into a relationship, keep your hands and body to yourself. Develop an emotional relationship BEFORE you develop a physical one. That will give the relationship a greater chance for success, because you've established that the person and their feelings are more important than physical gratification.
Okay, I'm through now. Shuttin' up and goin to bed.
