Allow Me To Ruin Your Movie Experience.

I ask myself a question every single night, do I go to bed early and regret what I may miss out on that night, or stay up late and regret it in the morning? I usually choose to regret it in the morning, and tell myself that I wont be making that mistake again. Then I make it again. And again. And again. Tonight is one of those nights. I should be in bed. So, the other day I was browsing someones music library, and came across the Taylor Swift song, "If this was a movie" In reality, I kinda like this song, and most of her songs. Mostly because 90% of Taylor Swift's songs will match my melancholy mood swings at some point in the day. As painful as that is to admit. I feel like if there is anyone in the world who is, or will shortly be as lonely as me, it's her. She can't hold a boyfriend for longer than my attention span. More often than not, I feel like I can watch her new music video start and end in the same time period as her relationship. But, that's what you get when you date faggots. And I don't mean that in the homosexual slur that you might take it to be. They're just faggots. So she should know what she is getting herself into before she kisses the little trout. If you date douche B's, you shouldn't expect eternal love. (That's a principle that I feel alot of people could stand to learn.) Anyway, I seem to refer alot to Taylor because I may or may not have a giant crush on her. Something about her vampire like complexion, and sour outlook on love and life is attractive to me. However, I think that she also puts the falsities that most women (and some men) believe about life and relationships into song form for everyone to believe. Referring back to "If This Was A Movie" and the fact that this song is ridiculous.The line; "Come back, come back, come back to me like you would, you would if this was a movie." is particularly of note. Even if it was a movie, how do you know that he would come back to you? What if it was a war movie and he died? There is always so much emphasis placed on movies, it's revolting. I realize that that is precisely the reason we watch movies. To enter an alternate reality that puts on the facade that things are better than where we are. Regardless, when the movie ends and you return to life, you are still in the same place you were when the movie started. Sitting on the couch stuffing your face with chocolate and crying. The notion that things will ever be like a movie, is ludicrous. I spent my childhood wishing that my life was more like Space Jam. I always hoped to touch a basketball one day, and turn into a giant green monster. I went around and touched every basketball my eye could see. I would dig through the ball bin at Walmart. You would just be walking past, and there I was. Throwing all the basketballs I had already touched out, and was violently digging through them. A little later, there I was sitting in the bottom, crying. Hell, I would go through all the basketballs at school and touch them all before anyone else could, just in case. Ultimately, these hopeful thoughts were eventually shattered. I realized that I will never be a cartoon, or a monster that is good at basketball sent to overtake earth. The thing I am trying to portray is, everyone else should come to this realization. Ryan Gosling is probably a dick in real life. Hugh Jackman probably has to shave his back. And Channing Tatum is married. So, maybe we should drop the idea that these bodacious hunks exist anywhere but the big screen. We all have dreams. But we all wake up too. So, the next time I hear someone talk about how they wish they could have a love like Ryan and Rachael in The Notebook, I'm going to have a panic attack. They're movies for a reason. If it was achievable, it wouldn't be a movie. It would be a reality series. Just like being a cartoon.
