But seriously, I've witness many of my friends 'settle' for a girl whom they aren't happy to be with, and vice versa. I mean, it's just sad to watch two couples be together just because... They sometimes claim that they love each other but most of the time they fight. But yet, they stay with one another because they both are comfortable with the misery. They settle for one another because they feel like they are damned if they do and damned if they don't. They feel trapped. It's really sad to see it happen. And I've seen it a lot.

I know this girl from Florance who's all crazy in love with me and want to bare my children. I know the feeling of wanting to settle. Because I've even had to fight it off. You can easyly get sucked into the trap. I was thinking, well. She is cute, and I wouldn't be lonely at nights anymore. But she's so damn annoying. She is so damn extremly annoying. I know I don't love her, but she says she loves me so that must count for something. But damn, she makes me sick sometimes. Anyhow, had I been like one of my friends (I'm not gonna name any names, but shit, you guys wouldn't know him anyway) then I would have 'settled' with her just because I was lonely at the time. That would not only be cheating her out of being happy, but it would also be cheating myself out of the things that life has to offer.

Paradoxically, that's how love is if it's real; it's hurtful and bipolar. But odd enough, these couples usually are "happy". Like just about everything else in the world, happiness is relative. Everyone has their own different expectation and construct of what happiness is to them. Love is a twisted, cruel, bittersweet abomination. A drug like any other.

Well guys, I'm about to propose to my girlfriend. I've got the "how" and I've got the tenative "when" I just need the "where". I'm thinkin of taking her out of town to florida, or some other beach. I'm not sure where we'll go.

As to paradoxical Love, etc. I'll refer to brando's post "Crazy in Love"

Ahh, love .. biochemically no different than consuming large quantities of chocolate.

But either way, best of luck to ya, man. Hope all goes well. If you're lookin' for a good place then you could always try Botanical Gardens here in Hampton Roads. I was the photographer at a friend's friend's wedding last weekend. It was a humid as hell day but it was a beautiful place for a wedding.

hmmm.... Having lived in LA, the sunsets on the beach are awsome. Just north of LA, along PCH, you have miles of beach on one side with cliffs on the other. So, if you're thinking beach, a west coast (Florida's Gulf Coast included).

Ok... That's my sap content for the next few years. Back to being morbid and obnoxious. Back to being..... me.
Never have I been so insulted as the time someone called me..... normal.

I con't concider myself short....

Love is kinda like hot sauce .. no matter how bad ya got burnt the last time and no matter how much you say you'll swear it off, you always find yourself going back for more.

i wouldn't really say that i am bitter. in breakups i tend to go through different stages. they go "why doesn't he want me?", "i hate the fucker", "I can do so much better", "i kind of miss him", "i don't need anyone"

i usually stay at the "i don't need anyone" stage until i find someone else.

my last breakup totally broke my heart. i am still working through it. i loved the guy to death, blah blah blah, shit didn't work out, we broke up. sad story, song, and dance... either way, yeah i miss him and whatever, but life goes on and i know that i will fall in love again and that person will break my heart, and that's how things go.

life's too short to be bitter all the time.
