There are two types of romance, two ways people get together………

Sometimes you start as friends, then you become best friends, and then one day you see each other in the eyes, and at that moment you also become lovers. And it is happy because you are still best friends.

Then sometimes you see someone on the street, you feel weak in the knees, and they see you too, and think you are the greatest person in the world, and just like that you are lovers, passing the time together. And before you know it, you’ve become best friends.

Two different paths, two different methods to the same destination, lover and friend.

Even after all this time
The sun never says to the earth, “You owe me.”
Look what happens with a Love like that!
—It lights the whole Sky. (Hafiz)

Yesterday there was a Boyz II Men concert right next to my house. I didn’t decide to go until the last minute, but really, how could I miss it. I was standing in line, and I saw my old boss walk by, so I invited him to stand next to me. We got to the front, and by that time the concert was already full. But it was on the fairgrounds, so we had to pay to even get to it. So of course we were annoyed that we couldn’t see it.

We walked around the concert hall until we found a glass door. It was so frustrating because I could see the band through the window!! Every time someone came through the door, they closed it really quickly so we couldn’t sneak in.

Finally the door opened and three kids were let in, so we tagged right along behind. A security lady was really upset and put herself right in my way and said, “NO!!” I felt really bad for her because I was making it hard to do her job. But then I looked up, and saw everyone going in, and said, “Sorry Ma’am, I’m with them” and pushed my way on by. She followed me for a bit, then finally gave up. And the concert was awesome. The had the suits, they had the moves, and they had the groove. By the end that concert hall was rockin’

People talk a lot about police brutality lately, which is kind of ironic: tonight there was a fight outside my apartment, and the police came. I knew one of the guys in the fight, so I watched from my window to make sure nothing bad happened to him.

It was actually not bad at all, they settled down the fight, they had the guys sit down on the curb, away from each other, then on at a time, they handcuffed them and put them in the car. There was one old man there, and they talked gently and quietly to him, calming him down. Then they helped him get in the car. They put the ones who were fighting into different cars. They actually treated my friend kindly, I think, and were not brutal or rude.

In Superman Returns, Lois Lane is married, but she is still in love with Superman, but she also loves her husband. I really hated this movie. I think it is something like Superman is the wild guy who will always be in her heart, but husband is the nice supportive stable guy who will always be around no matter what. In fact, husband seems to know she feels this way, and he drives her around to see Superman when he is sick. In addition, Superman is actually the father of their child. Ouch.

I could never be in a relationship like that. I would hate every minute of my life, knowing that my main attraction to the girl is that I’m stable. Yuck. There are other things I like about myself a lot more. Way to make me feel second-rate for the rest of my life. Rather, I want my girl to be with me because every moment, she is happy to be with me. Every moment together will have been worth it, even if it is the last. Because I make her feel good.

I don’t want to be like husband in Superman Returns.
