His name is Craig!...You had me at Kate Winslet....<br /><br />His name is Craig!! Yes, I must know. The more details the better! Would you hide anything from a doctor and expect a proper diagnosis!!!! Unburden yourself, let the details fly freely!!! We must know EVERYTHING about the sleepover. Who was wearing what? What was said and how??????<br /><br />The quiet one is named Yeasl? That's the least attractive name of all-time!<br /><br />I, for the life of me, can not conjure up a memory of who this Anthony person was. Is he the Anthony I know now, a pot-bellied Filipino who I yell at on occasion for being lazy and lacking any sort of forward direction in his life? Oh, I hope it is. It will give us something fun to talk about tomorrow. Many days we have nothing fun to talk about.<br /><br />Anyway, weren't those parties fun? 'Good times' I believe you were fond of saying. Those were the days, back when our young uncorrupted bodies didn't take eight to ten drinks to wipe away the misery of our accumulated mistakes.<br /><br />On to the matter at hand....Oh, but yes, you can fall in love in Korea. What a wasted opportunity not to!!! There is nothing more valuable, more worthwhile, more squandered than love!!!! Please, don't be so pig-headed about something so precious!!!! Consequences be damned!!! I don't care if he lives in South Africa and wants to raise a tribe of pygmies! Korean pygmies! Why NOT wake up everyday with butterflies in your stomach at the thought of seeing him? Why not day dreaming copiously about ways in which you could find yourself alone with him? You say love shouldn't be trampled on or lightly given, but it isn't as though you are on here week after week posting about one ignited fondness or another. I just DO NOT like this self-defeatist attitude. In fact, I detest it!<br /><br />Look, it's true that we shouldn't give in to every single impulse. But to get to the point where you are sharing this stuff here, I've gotta feel like this is more than an impulse. This is something that has been circulating in your heart for quite some time. Something that becomes more real with each and every moment of contemplation. The only thing I can compare it to is myself. Today, I had the biggest pitch meeting of my life. Diarrhea-inducing. I knew going in that the perceived cards were stacked against me. I had all the possible ways I could fail running through my mind. I got to the point where I didn't even want to go through with. But then I realized, what does it matter if I fail? I won't lose anything. Nothing will be taken away from me. I'll be right back where I was, struggling to find a foothold in this god forsaken town. So why not go into that meeting and give it all I've got? I literally have nothing lose. All I can do is gain. All I can do is grow. And that's what you have the opportunity to do. To me, there is nothing worse than inaction. That is why I yell so much at my pot-bellied Filipino friend.<br /><br />Now I have spent quite a long time on this comment. I have probably broken the blogger record. I don't want to give you any false hope about Craig. But I have been around the block a time or two. And I am a man (which I am assuming is an attribute Craig and I share). As a man (and I'm sure the same truth exists within the strange and mysterious female gender), but sometimes a true and honest expression of feelings can open one's eyes to what's been previously overlooked. It just takes a hell of a lot of courage (and sometimes 8 to 10 drinks) to do it.<br /><br />Fuck, now I have to skim over all this and check my third-grade grammar.brucknernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8602217.post-12899570634335026832012-12-20T22:24:27.338-08:002012-12-20T22:24:27.338-08:00I like your love perspective, probably because min...I like your love perspective, probably because mine is similar :) Though I would like to see you fall in love (grow into love?), to see how it's done, of course.almost anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
