Of&#8212; Dawsons Creek.  I never really watched that show until my first girlfriend convinced me to do so.<\/p>\n<p>I would sit on the phone each night with her watching the show.  At first I wasn&#8217;t too impressed, but after a while I got to know the characters and liked it.  In fact.. after we broke up some while later, I continued watching it&#8211; off and on until the show ended.  I did make a point to watch the last episode.<\/p>\n<p>Pacey, Joey, Dawson &#8211; three main characters.  Pacey and Dawson were always in a competition for Joey.  I always always wanted Pacey and Joey to end up.  The final episode, Joey left Dawson&#8212; and went to her one.. True love.  Pacey.  It was a great ending to the show.  I loved it so much I recall getting goosebumps, or some call them goosepimples? haha.  It ended the way I wanted it to, in my mind.<\/p>\n<p>In the Notebook, the main character leaves a perfect life, for a deep passionate love.<\/p>\n<p>In City of Angels Seth gives up eternity with God for a chance to live with Maggie.<\/p>\n<p>I want the same type of drama to happen in my life.  I want the &#8220;love of my life&#8221; to realize something, and come running to me so we can live our lives, Happily ever after.  Don&#8217;t try to tell me those stories weren&#8217;t with a happy ending, I know they weren&#8217;t.  In City of Angels, Maggie dies.  But you see, he would do it all over again just for 15 seconds with her.<\/p>\n<p>Love.<\/p>\n<p>It is said, a rose cant live without the rain so a heart can&#8217;t love without the risk of pain.<\/p>\n<p>But go to another movie I like- &#8220;You&#8217;ve got Mail&#8221; fantastic movie, and it has a happy ending.<\/p>\n<p>So, what does this tell us?  Well, nothing really except that I&#8217;m a sucker for love stories.<\/p>\n<p>They had a story on Yahoo, about if you are too picky for picking that person.  You know, someone you want to spend your life with.  I agree that some people are way too picky, only looking for the fairly tale ending.  My biggest downfall in being with people&#8211; that I tend to settle.  Not that it is a bad thing, it only really becomes a bad thing after you start thinking you could do better.<\/p>\n<p>Which typically happens with me.. at least with the last two girls I dated.  That is why, for the past 2 going on 3 years I haven&#8217;t dated anyone.  I know for a fact I could have dated a few girls.. but I&#8217;ve held off.  I don&#8217;t regret it, but in some cases this has caused the friendship to sour, for others it was something that didn&#8217;t change things.<\/p>\n<p>It really is hard to find someone who will be there for you, as much as you will be there for them.  To find that connection&#8230; the one that causes a spark.  I&#8217;ve found a lot of sparks.. haha well.. I&#8217;ve been changing my interaction patterns.  Ever since college I&#8217;ve been told that I&#8217;m a flirt.  So, I&#8217;ve been working on that.  I think I&#8217;ve been that way because in Highschool I was one among thousands.  At Cascade I was wanted.  I liked that feeling&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Why is it a priority in my life to have someone that I can spend my life with?  Or better yet, have a girl in my life who I can love for who she is- and she can look past my brokenness and love me for me.  It isn&#8217;t such a bad thing right?<\/p>\n<p>It is hard to find that&#8211; but add to the mix that she needs to be Christian and the chances are less.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m tired of not finding anyone, of looking and finding games, of looking and finding people who will lead you on.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm, I wanted to vent all of this for the pure and simple fact that I haven&#8217;t blogged anything real in a while.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The purpose of relationship is not to have another who might complete you, but to have another with whom you might share your completeness.&#8221;  &#8211; Neale Donald Walsch<\/p>\n<p>Other than that.. I&#8217;ve gotten nothing for prospects of jobs.  I&#8217;ll blog more about that- next time.<\/p>\n<p>just Pray<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey I don&#8217;t want to wait, by Paula Cole &#8211; that song brings back a lot of memories.
