Mr. and Mrs. Smith

This movie is actually very important. It's an action adventrure movie to anyone under the age of say 25, but to folks who are a little older, and maybe just a hair more aware of ..well I donno..stuff.. The movie is really about relationships, love, and being together.....
You haven't seen it? You probibly should... It's one of my favorite movies nowadays....
Basically, there's a ton of love there, but they've lost touch with each other... they've sorta drifted apart, and are no longer 'partners'...

Sound familiar to anyone?

Its a movie folks, it doesnt solve the problem, or even offer any real solutions (unless both you and your SO happen to be assassins, and you're both being hunted/being put into a life/death situation where you are kinda forced to depend on each other..), however I think it speaks volumes about our culture, and about how a lot of folks feel, or maybe SHOULD be feeling? How many of us out there are in relationships, and don't even REALIZE that they've stopped working WITH their partner, and are in some cases, at best, simply shareing a livng space....?

At one point, it was different. Folks had more in common.. someone ran the farm, someone kept house...both had the same set of kids... some guy made iron works, his wife did the selling maybe, I donno....

You want solutions? What do I look like, a social psychologist?

*shrugs* my best guess? Make an effort. Look at your partners life, see their interests.. try to be involved. Let Them Know. Try.
Hope for success...It takes both of you, and honestly you can do all the trying in the world.. If your partner can't/doesn't want to/whatever to work with you and try to share some of YOUR stuff, I guess you're doomed to either become someone you're not or move on or something... It doesn't work with effort and understanding on only one side.

I Love Jen. I'm crazy about her. I want us to work out.
I just don't know if its going to happen.....
Would an episode of Justice League kill her?
Going to antique places didn't kill me...

Birthdays....

Ok I gotta say, today is 8/10. Usually I'm really down around my b-day, and this year round I've made it all the way to today basically before I'd felt depressed... the whole 'older getting closer to death' thing is ever present, and my birthday simply brings this more to my awareness....All the things I did do, and will never do again...All the things I Should have done when I was younger.... Spring break stuff probibly is a blast really....
I'm just down. I'm even considering leaving work early, I was really tempted to eat like a little piggy this am..... b/c I'm really feeling like I don't care.
At least I'm enjoying City of Heros... Its lots of fun, and is pretty uncomplicated, etc... In some ways I'd probibly be really happy just playing CoH all the time....I've decided that I'm pretty much gonna play all weekend for my b-day.... the price is right, doesn't require anything special to set up or anything, It's all good, you know?
Once school starts again I'll probibly be too busy to get too down eh?
