Beautiful Girls

It's another lazy work day, not much going on except my struggle for sanity...

Days like today are a good day to remember. To think of the things in your life that matter. A kind of "reset" button in case you have strayed down a path that is wholly unfamiliar.

Today, I have been thinking alot about love. Not just love, but everything that goes with it: lust, trust, respect, admiration, sadness, anger, just to name a few. These emotions often get mixed and jumbled to the point you don't know which way is up. And you certainly don't have the ability to save yourself from getting caught up in "feeling". At least I don't.

But then I re-read a quote from a favorite movie of mine that put a lot of how I was feeling into perspective. From the film "Beautiful Girls"...

A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack and Coke all morning. She can make you feel high with the single greatest commodity known to man--promise. Promise of a better day. Promise of a greater hope. Promise of a new tomorrow. This particular aura can be found in the gaze of a beautiful girl. In her smile, in her soul, how she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay.

Maybe there really isn't hope for us afterall...
