Just saw Happy Feet with the little one. Little one behaved well considering. Definitely a movie for kids 10 and up. Great movie. Great message. Great music. Great dancing. Great jabs and uppercuts to the religious zealots who abandon God-given reason for Man's-version of faith. Great inspiration from this guy who I have been in love with since Sesame Street and the red ball cap. You know I love the light skin boy! Speaking of light skin boys. Tried to reconnect with one from the past. Didn't work out as planned. He's a really nice guy and sweet as pie. Just not interested in me. Of course, I did pop up out of no where on him. So maybe there is hope that he will come to his senses and see what a fantastic, wonderful, and fabulous girl I am. Couldn't get this one off my mind, so I had to retrace my steps. In doing so I broke one of my cardinal rules: don't go back to revisit old relationships. Things didn't work out for a reason. Let it live and die in the past where it belongs. Another thing that I can't get out of my mind is a conversation I had with a friend a couple of weeks ago. What is the fine line between prostitution, dating, whore and just plain ol' stupid slut. We like to say that while we are dating someone the sex is apart of the pending romance. The potential potential we are testing out. But it seems most of the time it's really just a hedonistic cries to guard against alienation and loneliness. If you are trying to get something, anything from sex are you a prostitute? Of course many try to get emotional fulfillment, love, free meals and gifts from sex. Why do we look down on those who receive money? (Besides it being illegal.) At least they can take their money and do something else with it. All us daters have is our bruised egos, tearful tales of woe, and well-plotted revenge schemes. The money can be traded for goods and services. And don't give me that nonsense about prostitution chipping away at your soul and all that. The revolving door of boyfriends/girlfriends who constantly disappoint don't chip away at the soul as well??? The sex shared and then disregarded like yesterday's trash doesn't leave lacerations on the soul? What of the whore? Is this a person that just manipulates sex for things material AND emotional? Should we really feel the sorriest for the stupid ol' slut who gives it away to whoever will take it in search of love? Just searching and searching all the while being tricked literally and figuratively. From a kids movie to prostitution. Not such a far stretch. Not really.
Only heard this one song (look at the video on the far top right), but I like it.
