Love means never having to say you're sorry.

You may know that I hate chick flicks.

I have written about it

on more than one occasion.

They pretty much all go like this:

Relationship

Tension

Happiness

Conflict

10 minutes of agony

Resolution

End

If only it were my job to write them.

1. In the resolution, they'd always say

I'm sorry

and

I love you.

I don't care what they meant by this.
It's a huge lie.

No, you can't just kiss.

I mean, you can kiss.

Sure.

But not until after you say

I'm sorry

and I love you.

Words are important.

2. The resolution would not immediately be followed

by the end.

Life is hard.

And it's still gonna be hard,

even though you're in love.

And I'd like to see a little of that.

3. Please, can we get a little less

dancing in the street

and kissing in the rain?

Life isn't like that.

But honestly,

sometimes life is like that.

And then,

especially then,

you shouldn't talk about it too much.

It's only special

because it's yours.

Telling someone about it

makes it a little less special--

not to mention how unspecial it becomes

when you watch two people

act it out in a movie.

...

Okay.

Rant over.
