How to beat down the crap.

OK, enough of the depression crap, right? Whose tired of hearing about it? Because I'm tired of it too!

So, here's my tip.

Step 1: pick an up beat song, I like Zorba's dance from Zorba the Greek (Best kick yourself in the ass and live lif to the fullest movie EVER). Fun pop songs are also choice.

Step 2: Press play.

Step 3: Arms up! Not just a little, like crazy over your head, I recommend you not lock your elbows.

Step 4: Start to move your shoulders,let your head and upper body move with your shoulders, once you start moving with the rhythm you are ready for step 5.

Step 5: Close your eyes. Please please make sure all furniture and obstacles are out of the way BEFORE you do this, injuries have been known to occur at this point.

At this point you should also be well past euphoria, If not, look in a mirror, because lets be honest, you probably look pretty silly, and if that doesn't make you laugh, then I don't know what will. Maybe start jumping, and bending funny ways.

That's my fun way of dealing with the Devil. Any other suggestions?

Also, listening to Lady Gaga is pretty hilarious, love her, but seriously, what the hell is she talking about?

The cycle

I am hopeless at this whole relationship stuff. I meet someone I like, and I think, hey, this is a nice eligible guy, why would he not like me as well? I live in an endless cycle of unrequited desire and love.

Last year at this time, I met a nice guy, hit it off, it seemed like it could have really worked and been something great. He was single, I was single, we got along, had everything in common, but nothing ever happened. I guess he liked my friend instead, when she refused him, he threw us both over and began dating someone else.

I met another guy, so sweet, so nice, got along even better with him...he was married.

I met another guy, a co-worker, and again, so right. Laughing, drinking, having a blast together. Someone I could seem myself settling down with, unfortunately, I was a few months too late, he had gotten engaged a month before I met him, and is now settled with someone else.

This is the endless cycle, I am doomed to repeat.

But maybe this time will be different, maybe this time it will all work out! Lets be honest, if I think any differently, or take a less optimistic mindset I may as well just crawl into a hole and stay there, because what would be the point? No being optimistic is my only option, I may keep getting beaten down but I am sticking to it, something is bound to happen if I keep at it, right?

The Romance of the Virgin in Film

I gotta say, I love the movies where the shy yet bold virgin meets the dashing hero who sweeps her off her feet. I especially love if they are of different classes or their is a terrible social taboo separating them. Jane Austen is definitly up there.

But the greatest are the random films from the 60's or 70's. Has anyone else seen 'This Flame is Love' or 'The Virgin and the Gypsy'? Completely cheesy, but so much fun. Light and easy, they make you laugh, but there are those sentimental moments where you find yourself embarrasingly wiping a tear from your cheek.

'The Virgin and the Gypsy' is based on the D.H. Lawrence novel, so I am expecting it to be a good movie, but I have not finished it yet.

For some crazy reason I could watch 'This Flame is Love' over and over and over. The plot line is all over the place, and the acting not the best, but their are sweet sweet moments in it.

Even 'The Prime of Ms. Jean Brody' has great romantic moments.

If you know any more, share, share!!

I'm on a hunt!

Ciao!
