Mr. Big or Aidan?

We all have them, those two men our lives that fall into one category or another...

First, there's Mr. Big: the unattainable, mysterious, aloof, sexy only-in-you-eyes kinda guy that we all desperately want, but cannot have. Can it really ever work out with a Big? In real life, most likely not, you know this, but that doesn't stop you from wanting him all the more: you have several break-ups, and lots of great sex, but ultimately a Big's commitment-phobia and refusal to grow-up results in either a) termination of a relationship or b) an unhappy relationship. Very rarely do people actually change! They try, it lasts for a few months, and then it goes back to the same way it was before, all drama and problems included. Preserve what you have, while you still can.

And then there's Aidan: the cute, scruffy, does EVERYTHING right guy. The "I won't stop til I get you" type of guy. He's artistic, emotionally available, willing to make it work, appreciates you for yourself. And yet you still look back to see what's going on with Mr. Big...

Will we never learn?

Two Birds with One Stone

...So Barack Oboma pretty much has locked in the Democratic Presidential Nomination, who would of thought, there's a Black man being considered for the Presidential nomination, let a alone a Black man with the last name of Obama. Maybe the state of this country is not in such disarray after all considering he is the first minority in over 200 years to get this far. Not to mention, there are now talks of bring Hilary Clinton as his running mate. The souls of Southern conservatives are probably turning in there graves as I type. A black man and a white woman?!? Thats one hellova one-two punch, if I may say so myself.

Change is welcomed. Change is encouraged. Change is needed, in order to progress, to raise up and further more, move on. As attributed to Aesop, "United we stand, divided we fall." How more united can we be with these two birds? Only the coming months can tell, they better not screw it up.

New York Times Sunday Crossword Puzzle

"Men in their twenties are like the New York City Sunday crossword puzzle: tricky, complicated and you never know if you have the right answer."

When did relationships become so complicated? What ever happened to "I like you, you like me..circle one." Seemingly that no longer applies in your twenties. Girls want to get married and men don't want to make the mistake of choosing the wrong women. What a double edged sword!!! No one is winning, as a matter of fact, a lot of us are sitting in this primordial state of existence that perfection will just fall onto our laps with a big red bow.

As attractive as that may sound, that's not what I'm looking for. There is nothing wrong with taking a chance, investing your heart and possible learning a harsh lesson in teamwork in the process.

Everything has become so complicated, and I definitely missed the memo. I'd prefer a warning next time. Wouldn't you?
