here comes the.....

i am standing in the dvd store and on play is another free to be you modern take on the couple movie.

sex in the city is out and singledom everywhere is applauding loudly only to conclude with one day if you are really lucky you too will find the dream soul and sashay down an isle.

its mantage after another of single guys and gals doing it for themselves and striving to break the stereotype of life after 20 and yet in the end they run straight on blissfully into it.

there are heaps of 'i have broken the norm saga's' she says 'i am living free', he says 'i wanna be free' there are hookups and breakups and mishaps and in the end they find each other and everyone ends up happy that they did.

its an odd twist on a very 1920's message. its a really long way round of getting across the very old tale and in the end a happy duo tapp out the generic tune they began opposing...

some come and go

today i met a pretty entertaining, relatively wealthy. now bachelor. when we met there was a mrs and nuptials had been exchanged but 2 hours, irreconcilable differences and lack of communication later he was single again.

this was no laughing matter, it is his third time to the divorce court and his opinion of relationships is slightly jaded. he is hysterical recalling the first two and now this one and then taking to pieces every sorry sap that was to stand up before him and denounce their wedding vows.

today is a celebratory day much like the day that they walked down the isle or into the court and tied the knot. just like everyone was standing around oooing and ahhhing today i got the feeling he was bouncing off the wall thinking woohooo free at last....

i have been to a few weddings usually against my better judgment and they are long, some make you go through the entire day whilst they swear this is it, the one, gonna last forever and what not, on the flip side the ending is brief.... a simple there aint no way this is gonna work out and presto it is as if it never was.... strange to think in the past this wasn't tollerated or you actually had to go and prove that it wasn't meant to be, or you could be sent back and be made to try and work it out...

no more, just a simple no yes no thanks and its over.... swiftly!
