wake up and smell the coffee....... life isn't like the movies!


I am a hopeless romantic..... after watching a movie under the genre romance, i quickly resume my day dreaming activities( nothing dirty i assure you) wishing that i was some damsel in distress waiting for a man of valor (modern of course) to come rescue me... (ladies don't pretend you don't day dream i know you do its in our nature deal with it.)

For example Meg Ryan in "you've got mail" who wouldn't wish they where Meg Ryan writing emails to a stranger who strangely happens to be your rival. along the course of the journey you become friends and you begin to fall for him but at the same time you are hoping to remain true to your pen pal man(who secretly is your rival). you recite phrases like "nothing personal, just business" and then in the end when he (thats is your rival playing pen pal man) finally get to you, he lets you know his secret- it was he who you fell in-love with in the first place. it not the figure tom hanks that i am intimately wishing for, its the character he plays. he had the right(sort of) to disregard her when he found out that his pen pal was Meg Ryan' character but he had come to know her before his prejudices and was willing to hang on and "go the the mattress" to win her love.

How about "jerry Maguire" i am not a big tom Cruise fan but my my did i fall in love with his character. one of his lines in the final moments of the movie is famous for a reason, "you complete me" eyes welling up with emotions that assure you he speaks from his heart. got to give it to you Tom thats was the performance. it is very girls dream to hear that phrase one way or another. to know that success is nothing with you..... or living is nothing without you... but completeness is found in you." you complete me" . however, true completeness only comes from God i have to say.... what profits a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?

Ah how could i forget "a walk to remember" bad boy turns good after meeting his eve.... unfortunately their love was one that was meant to last for a while. but man! the stuff he did for her .... the fulfillment of her wishes and dreams.... kills me. whats more is that he finds himself and gets to experience love in its truest essence which is Love that builds. thats is a love that we truely desire in our deepest of heart. love that makes your aspire to be better. over the fence, over the hills, through the skies, reach for the stars kind a love...... need i say more?

Love in movies seem easy..... they tell you all about the joys hardly about the pains. finding love for one is hard, they never tell you about that. their remedies for heart aches are wack they bring more suffering than healing. the point i am trying to make is that, that kind of Love only happens in movies in reality very few get to experience love in its truest essence. well this is a personal message to me from me ... Wake up and smell the coffee ..... life isn't like the movies. stop hanging on empty hopes and wishful thinking. get a hold of yourself and get a life. busy yourself with what matters now and let love worry itself. when it is time it will happen.... he makes all things beautiful in his time. its easy to say but the hardest thing to do..... well thats about it.....
