Love Withdrawl
Do you ever come across a stranger that reminds you of a past love and it makes you feel like you know them? Do you ever approach them and notice that their acquiring your past loves qualities? Or is it your heart playing tricks on you? Early today while I was in my art appreciation evening class, my past love (or at least for a minute I believed him to be so) stood in front of the class to give a presentation. As I watched him hold out a cultural figure that represented his families past history, the sounds from his mouth began to fade out and I began to focus in on how his body moved. The way he stood, smiled, and how he kind of stuttered when he wasn’t aware of what to say next. I noticed the way he dressed wearing a pair of basketball shorts to class with high socks up to his knee caps and tennis shoes. I use to hate that look but seeing it again on an all too familiar face after years that has passed by intoxicated me with the way I use to feel, when I was in love. I noticed how he smelled, and the way his facial features mirrored my former loves appearance. As I began to feel my past memories emerge with my present reminiscence of a love I knew not too long ago, I had to ask myself “was this possible, could I really be witnessing an evolutionary moment”. The emotions and experiences that I once felt I began to feel all over again. I was imported back to a time where I felt overwhelmed with happiness, solitude and lust. I suddenly had an extreme urge to meet the guy that brought this upon me. After his speech was done and when we got back from our ten minute break I moved two seats closer to where he was sitting. I thought to myself “maybe I could just talk to him for a little bit, get to know him in a more personal way”. I observed him for the last hour we had left of lecturing. It was more than just watching a complete stranger write down a couple notes for the next exam; it was about giving my mind and body something that I had not got in a long time…a taste of what I had, and how it felt. But after the minutes passed by I began to realize, this stranger who resembled my love was not my love. I let myself get wrapped up in a feeling that had come and left many years ago. Although this stranger gave me the same feelings I once had in the past, I began to understand just what it was…a memory. I had to move on, not from meeting this guy in art class but I had to move on from what I once had because it was over. I did have a love, a great love but the truth is no one not even a replica of a person who I was so passionately in love with could give me what I once had in the future what I attained in the past. Was it a trick of the heart? I came to the conclusion that the heart does not play tricks on you it only reminds you that the feelings you once had can be felt again giving the right circumstances and it is your job to keep it open so that it can do so.

Sex and the City
I honestly can watch Sex and the City repeadetly and never get bored even after seven years since the last episode was taped. There has yet to be another successful single ladies series that could even have the potential to be as successful as Sex and the City. Women still adore this show and who can blame them, theres countless interest throughout the series: fashion, sex (ofcourse), traveling, jobs, finacial drouts and love. If your single and a women (hey even a man) and have never saw at least one Sex and the city episode, I suggest you go jump off a cliff. Or pick up the re-runs on HBO :) It is an addicting series and once you see one your going to be obligated to see them all. The good thing is since the series is over theres no waiting around next week for the next show, you can see them all back to back in marathons on cable or on demand.
Overdrive!
It's amazing how technology has taken over our lives. I was in class last night and on our ten minute break pretty much half the class either looked at their phones to text when out side to talk on the phone or was on their labtops. And even when class was in progress three students in front of me was on facebook. One has to ask, is this really what Leonard Kleinrock, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, or Sergey Brin had intended. Before people were excited about meeting a person face to face, now all that excitment has drifted to how many friend request we have on our facebook pages or how many followers are on our twitter accounts. There has been countless claims about how technology is ruining future generations social skills, or technolgy has made it easier for people to access information. We can argue for decades about the benefits and downfalls of living online but the fact is, technology is here and from the looks of it theres no going back to the stone age.

My So Called Life
The epitimy of teen life in the 90s, this television series is currently running on the Sundance channel and I'm falling in love with it all over again. Although I have been out of high school for going on the third years now, this show is again bringing back those oh so familiar feelings of my first high school crush, best friends, heartbreaks and make-ups. This is a huge suggestion to anybody whos going, currently in, or have been to high school. Unlike any other teenage show or movie, Winnie Holzman did an epicable job catching what goes threw the minds of any and every teenager from the wild child to the prom queen and ofcourse the girl who just doesn't know who she is or her place in the world. Being a young adolescense is some of the hardest years in everyones life. But just like everything else it comes to an end and sometimes its just nice to have something to remind us of how hard it was and that we made it threw.
Too bad the show only made it one season :(
Heres a monologue from Brian writing a letter for Jordan to give to the main character Angela.
"Dear Angela,
I know in the past I've caused you pain and I'm sorry
And I'll always be sorry, until the day I die
And I hate this pen I'm holding because I should be holding you
I hate this paper under my hand because it isn’t you
I even hate this letter because its not the hold truth
Because the whole truth is so much more than a letter can even say
If you want to hate me go head
If you want to burn this letter...do it
You could burn the whole world down
You can tell me to go to hell
I'd go
..If you wanted me too
And I'll send you a letter from there
Sincerly,
Jordan Catalano"
