hello? you're breaking up

after a long and complicated pseudo-relationship, a friend of mine decided to call it quits. part of his email went like this...
❝ it was not a pretty sight. it was not easy. the last quote of the 30 minute phone call was her saying "i was nice to you, and now you're dumping me! you're an asshole!" (click) (hangs up the phone). ❞

damn.

breaking up sucks. doesn't matter which side you're on... breaker or breakee. at one point, both (or one) feel a certain way and then, at some other point... one person (or both), don't.

fuck! we've all been there.

some people say that it gets easier every time, like you build up some sort of tolerance or immunity. some people say there's a formula for getting over it... something like one week for every three months you've been dating. i think it's different every time and it's never easy, unless you are a heartless demon bastard.

there's one thing good about every break up. you learn a little more about yourself, about what you're looking for, and what you definitely don't want. and you're that much closer to finding the last person you'll ever fall in love with...

...until the next one.

giving thanks

last year, erin and i spent thanksgiving at cammie's place in the city. it was an intimate gathering of cam's close friends. i made some baked mac and cheese that i was very proud of... it was delicious. but betsy broke my casserole dish on purpose, because she had her own mac and cheese she wanted everyone to eat. just kidding, but i dish really did break, and it really was betsy's doing... accidentally, on purpose. heh. anyways, this is the first thanksgiving in 5 years, that i haven't spent with erin. very strange, and sad too. i've found myself reflecting on the friendships that i've made over the past couple of years... thinking about the people who come into and out of our lives so quickly. as you may be able to tell, i'm a nostalgic little fuck. i live every day like it's a big event. i try to treat those i've just met, like they're my best friend (unless they're a complete douche bag). i get sad at the end of the night when i have...

who sings that?

so i saw this jcpenny commercial today and i noticed two things... number one, jcpenny's marketing department or the ad agency that's helping them, has been doing a great job trying to improve their image. kudos to them. number two, they've been using some great background music in their commercials. i know that regina spektor sang one of the older ones, but in the one i saw, they used the song " all that i want ", by the weepies . and by the way, i don't know if you pronounce it weep-ies, like freebies or wee-pies, like levi's . anyways, i think that if you don't watch tv a lot, you pay more attention to the commercials, and in this particular case, the soundtrack was delicious.
