Throughout the day, today, I pondered what I should write about...so many things...so much to talk about! Ok, first,I feel as if I owe it to cult members, I mean loyal followers, to explain as to why I haven't been composing for their entertainment these past several months. First of all, I haven't had internet at home for quite some time. And, let's face it, I refuse to blog on my phone because I would definately suffer from some sort of finger/joint damage if I were to do that. Plus, I have got to be the world's worst texter/phone keyboard typist. Second, (even though the first explaination could certainly suffice) I feel like I'm more creative when I'm kinda down in the dumps and, there for a few months, I had kinda found a little niche in my new little self-sufficient, miss independent, settled-into- their-own world. So, I know you're probably asking, "But, JoJo, why are you down in the dumps?" Maybe "down in the dumps" is a strong phrase to use, but the ol' wheels in the noggin' have definately been turning lately. What can I say, I've been on break for two weeks and if I'm not working, I'm over analyzing the crap out of all kinds of situations, rather they're real or completely theoretical.
Ok. Now, a Sex and the City induced analyzation. Let's talk about life's greatest joy. Love. A certain quote caught my ear while I was potatoed-out on Big Red (yeah, I named my couch..so?). Carrie said, "how many great loves do you think you get in a lifetime?" I don't know why, but I thought this was a great question and was kinda mad at myself for a hot second for not asking someone wise and intuitive the same question. I mean, what qualifies as a "great love"? Does it just have to be romantic love? I mean, I don't think so. I've heard people complain before that people just throw around the "L" word, making it useless. Ok, ok, I can see where saying things like "I love carpet...I love lamp..." could diminish the meaning a little...Anyway, back on track..Ok, here are a few examples of what I think are Great Love moments: when you realize there HAS to be a higher power, holding hands with your college sweetheart in a public movie theater, trying to sneak a "first kiss", holding your newborn baby for the first time, or simply accepting someone for exactly who they are.
I know this may seem completely random, but I promise that what I’m about to bring up has a point. I cut my finger on a piece of tin foil the other day. One. Hundred. Times. Worse. Than. A. Paper. Cut…That seems like a pretty good metaphor for love, don’t you think. Tin foil, that is. Think about it. When you find it, it just encircles you. Sometimes, it’s the really good kind that’s strong and lasts a while. Sometimes, it’s the cheap food lion brand that crumbles up really easily. And sometimes it provides you with the worse pain you’ve ever experienced in the form of a tin foil style paper cut.
As I wrap this nonsense up, I’ll leave a few thoughts. 1)I’m not quite sure how people blogged before the internet (oh, wait, I think they actually wrote with pens and paper) 2)Sex and the City is a fairly good representation of the plethora of questions that people have about relationships with other members of the human race 3)You should have many Great Loves, whether they be spiritual, family oriented, friendly, romantic, or all the above!
