Romantic Comedy

Hmm. See, one of the most interesting things to me is love. The whole concept. The whole idea of love. I'm not sure why. But nothing fascinates me more, nor do I want anything more. Everybody talks about it, to some extent, everybody thinks about, and everyone wants it. That is a fact. Everybody wants love, l
ove like in a romance novel, or in a romantic movie with Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts. Hey, you can even follow the basic formula for love. Here it is.

Step 1: Witty Putdowns Against Eachother After Random Meeting.
Step 2: Shyness As Both Realize They Like Eachother, But Still Witty Putdowns.
Step 3: Hesitant Kiss, But Then Some Awkward Putdowns.
Step 4: Relationship.
Step 5: The Guy Does Something Stupid, And Girl Walks Off, Probably In To The Rain.
Step 6: The Guy Does Something Really Sweet, And Guy and Girl Fall In Love.
Step 7: End Movie With Witty Putdowns.

That is your formula for love. Now just go find your Hugh Grant, or your Julia Roberts, and engineer that. Voila. Proven by a ridiculous amount of movies. But then, you've also got so many conflicting opinions on what love is. You've got the "Do Anything For You" love. You've got the "I Love You But Hate You" love. You've got the "We're Seperate But One." Love. You've got the "Inseperable." love. Shit. You got 7 billion types of loves, one for each person. But the funny thing about it is, with such differing opinions, how can you love someone if your versions of love are different? I mean, that's a pretty damn big deal breaker.

Oh, I forgot something. You've also got the version of love, well the opinion of love, that says that love doesn't exist. It's just glandular, or chemical. Maybe a cynical view, but one to consider nonetheless.

Then while we're on the topic of love, because we are, you have to consider the amount of people. Is there that one right person for you, that has been so abundant? That someone out there is waiting for YOU, not anybody else, just YOU, and you them. The appeal there is obvious. Or maybe there's 100s, maybe even 1000s of people that you COULD love. And all it depends upon are circumstances. Random, out of your control circumstances. Or maybe some are in your control, too. But I bet some aren't.

And then you've got the question, is Love age limited? Does the big L confine itself to 20 and above, or maybe 20 to 50. Or is it an emotional age thing we're going on. Sure, you want to say emotional age, but come on, so many people are going to stay at the emotional age of a 12 year old, that claim to be in love, that you have to wonder. That many people can't be lying. Well, they can. In fact, they probably are. Delusional fuckers. Moving on.

How about love at first sight? Or does it have to develop? Is it a combination? Is there a limit to love? Can you say "I love you...50% of what I could." And be honest? Not that you'd ever say that, because then you'd be so socially inept so as to be stuck in a cave. But you get my meaning. Ever heard that line from Wedding Crashers "People say we only use 10% of our brains, but I believe we only use 10% of our hearts." Maybe it's true. Maybe we could love SO much more. Are we confining ourselves, perhaps, in our love? But back to love at first sight. Can you look at someone and think, truthfully, that you'll love them? You just know that you will? Or does love come about as you spend time with someone, gradually? Or is it like a chemical reaction, where at the meeting of the two people, they instantly know, and are changed? I don't know. If I did, this blog would be pretty useless.

Can love come and go? Can you ever stop loving someone, if you truly loved them at one point? I mean, if you're so deeply connected in love, then how could that ever really go away? Hell. If you're in love, is that something you can give up, really? Can you walk away from love? "Well sure, for my own good, for the other person's good, etc." Think about it. My two points. One, how could you love someone, if both of your goods were not in sync, if it was bad for either? Well, Ryan, things change. Nah, I don't think so. Not like that. Second point, walking away from love would be painful as hell. Well, Ryan, sometimes you have to accept pain for the greater good. Thanks, I think I knew that. But if you walk away from love, isn't that like leaving a big part of yourself behind? Can you live with that, with a hole? Maybe you could've changed something in the relationship, and saved all this. Maybe, maybe, maybe. Who knows? I don't.

You may notice that this blog has alot more questions than my other two. There's a reason. It's because I don't understand the topic in this as well as I do in the other two. It's something that I think about. But I don't understand it. Heh, maybe it's just something you're not supposed to understand, just do, and go through. Maybe that's why it can never get explained. Maybe, maybe, maybe, I guess. Here's to the night, folks.
