Got a girlfriend?

So I'm driving someone to watch a romantic drama, one about a soldier back home from his tour of duty and he meets the love of his life. You probably know what movie she watched.

I am cruising down the 87 south towards Santa Teresa Ave, trying to get to Oakridge Mall, she she remarks, "got a girlfriend yet? I just have to get to the chase." Regretably I'm aback by that statement, I form up some excuse of a rebuttal and it comes out to "don't have the time..."

It's funny, someone even remarked that due to my poor organization skills, I needed someone to keep me on time and at the right place, like a mom who yells get up like a pre determined alarm clock. MY mom's like that. She's wakes up early.

Well, it made me think about my own understanding of relationships, particularly of the opposite gender. As Harry and Sally talked about, can men and women be friends? Well, I suppose I have friends who are women and also those who are men. But what I find trouble with is going deeper beyond the friendliness and into that place where you search for companionship.

Adam had Eve, Han had Leia, but what about J$?

It seems to me that this is a question that I ask myself everyday. I'm getting older as a twenty something, I still haven't found my sweetheart after getting out of college and I still live at home.

Another ramble brought to you by yours truly
