I found this article

(“TV’s Best and Worst Boyfriends” http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4193247/)

Here’s an excerpt cappin’ on Ted Danson’s character on Cheers, who’s an anti-commitment freak:

Romance has its ups and downs, but it is a rare young girl who lolls about her bedroom, listening to music and dreaming of the day that someone will come along who will grudgingly tolerate her.

This reminds me….

I once had a guy tell me (among other really selfish, self-absorbed things):

I don’t ever want to get married. But I know that I’ll have to some day because that wouldn’t be fair to my kids.

Okay, buddy. But you’ve got to find someone with low enough self-esteem to marry you first.

Oh my God! I still giggle sometimes when I think about the absurdity of that statement. I mean, doesn’t every girl dream of having a guy who will put down the remote long enough to take his hand off his balls and out of his sweatpants, look her lovingly in the breasts and profess his delusional self-centeredness? I thought it only happened in fairy tales!

Okay, first of all, Mr. I’m-Every-Naive-Girl’s-Dream-Guy-In-My-Tiny-Delusional-Head, you’re not all that. You’re a sad, little, transparent boy who missed the bus to Manhood. You’re not developed enough to think outside of your own skin. And when scientists finally discover the center of the universe, don’t be shocked when you find out that you aren’t it. You ARE all that to those girls who are so fucked up they’ll do anything to find someone who will keep fucking them up because they can’t value themselves otherwise, but in Grown Up Reality, you’re nothing. You don’t even register on the radar of people who have real thoughts and direction when they pass you on the street. And the day you get your head out of your own asshole, you’ll realize that 1. You’re a profoundly selfish coward who has no sense of reality or of how to interact with people like a normal human being; 2. You are going to have a long, productive life self-inducing your own misery and happily going out of your way to destroy anyone who tries to get close to you; and 3. You may be able to fake being something you’re not for a while, but you have my word…no sophisticated, self-respecting girl will ever have anything to do with you.

So you were right…I was completely wrong about you. But you managed to pull the wool over my eyes for a while, and for that, I applaud you and say, “Good game.”

Good luck finding the mother of your children.

Creepy… http://www.tinyplace.net/almas/photos.htm

Click on “Ghost Girl Video”

What do you think? Real or not? I can’t decide. Regardless, I missed her the first time I watched it and then saw her the second and I just about peed my pants (I was never known for my bravery in the face of the supernatural). Scary filmmaking if you aren’t paying attention.

Another crazy site. I’ve been listening to their audio recordings and watching their videos. Pretty freaky.

Writing this horror script has whacked up my head. All I do is research haunted places, locations of grisly murders and parapsychology. Stay tuned for my theory on ghosts.

Sometimes, a stone is just a stone.

I think we expect too much out of people sometimes. And it creates a horrible situation for those people, because they want so badly to be as smart, as amazing, as kind as you think they are, but it may not be something they’re inherently capable of being. People who expect too much of themselves (perhaps due to an overly critical environment during the developmental years), will in turn expect too much of the people around them. And sometimes that expectation is a set-up, because inevitably, the people can not fulfill such lofty expectations. But it creates a really tragic event, what happens when these two people have to part because the cycle of their interactions has become so detrimental to their well-being. Perhaps the responsibility of each human being is to not project rigid expectations onto others, particularly expectations to those around us who are emotionally vulnerable to us. Because this forces them to try to be something that they are not capable of being, causing a lose-lose situation. We should also be very honest in saying whether or not each person can fulfill what we would want from him/her. If the answer is no, we must either decide that we can be content with who this person realistically is, or we must have the discipline and strength to walk away rather than go forth into a situation where both parties will end up worse for the wear. This is a very hard lesson to learn. But remember, the driving, internal need to affect those around us and to make them fit the projection of what we want them to be is really psychologically harmful, and creates heartbreaking, painful results. So as unpalatable and pointless as it may seem, it would be quite beneficial to our own psychological health and to the quality of our relationships with others to be very aware of our expectations of others and make sure that these expectations are realistic and can be fulfilled.
