I’m Going to Spend The Time With You

I watched Moulin Rouge a few weeks ago. I was sick one Sunday and decided to watch it since I was the only one home at the apartment. It was somewhat entertaining and I had forgotten a lot. I really like music and the storyline is actually kind of lame. I am not into the whole idea that this guy falls in love with the Diamond so quickly. It was still entertaining though. I have been the kind of person who has to get to know someone before I fall for them. That is probably why I am not dating a lot like others are.
          Anyways I was also thinking about the Katy Perry music video The One That Got Away. And if you have not seen the video, please watch it before going on. (There is a link to the video at the bottom of this post.) Now I am not saying the lyrics are the best, or that the song is my favorite. Katy Perry looks really great as an old person though. Anyway, it really has got me thinking lately. Mostly about life and how unfair it is.

          I may not have had anything similar happen to me like what happens in both those films. I never thought about how much you could love someone. Life and death have always been interesting to me. I am sad at funerals because of the obvious, but I don’t get overly upset because I know I will see that person again. One thing that I cannot fathom is losing someone to the point of never being able to see them again. I hold my relationships pretty high on my importance list. I have friends that I made in California that might not even remember my name; I hold our relationship very high also. Then I think about a relationship where I would love someone so much that is it is bothersome to be away from that person. What would happen to me if that person were to go away? What if they were to die or vanish from my life entirely? I do not believe I could function properly. Some things in this life are far more important than the small things before us. Something I want my friends, family, lovers, acquaintances or whoever you are out there to know is how much I love and appreciate all of you. You do not realize what you have until you do not have it anymore. I do not want to think about that with anyone in my life. My relationships are far too important to me.

Dirty Dancing in the Moonlight

          I would like to send a shout out and a Happy Birthday to my good friend Jordan Metcalf. She is my twin sister; we have different parents; we were born in different hospitals on opposite sides of the country and we look nothing alike. She and I have had an ongoing romance like that since I can remember because we were born on the same day. When we were younger it was the best thing ever to have someone share your birthday. Even in high school we would see each other in the halls and she would remind me how long we had till our birthday. Sometimes she had it down to the hour. I thought about this when last week I realized my birthday was less than a week away… oops, I guess they are not that important anymore. That is beside the point; I just want to say that Jordan is one of the greatest people I know. There are many reasons why; and I will only name a few:

She is married and has been for a little over a year now. There is something I really like about her and her husband; that is the fact that you could be the painfully obvious third wheel when you’re with them, but they do not make it feel awkward. They don’t let you feel like a third wheel at all. In fact when you hang out with just the two of them it is like hanging out with a couple of friends. I have to remind myself that they are married because it is so normal with them. I ran into them at a restaurant about a week after their wedding, I was eating alone and the two of them came over and sat with me at my table. We ate together and laughed and had fun. I will not forget that because I would have thought they wanted to be alone together. But what they told me was they had seen enough of each other lately and they will see each other a lot more so they wanted to sit with me. I love how great they are, I want my lasting relationship to be like that. I really enjoyed the idea that they wanted to eat with me.

Something else I really like about Jordan is how she makes sure everyone around her is comfortable. But she does not do it to the extent that a lot of people do; you know like when it is annoying. She makes everyone feel at home, and if they are not comfortable it is their fault. She is very personable and actually is genuine when she wants to help someone. I don’t really know how else to explain it. Oh, and she finds words that are normal in everyday life and makes them interesting. She took the word “Nugget” and used it as a word to describe her mood, things, and people. You name it. That is one of the many funny things she does.

The reason I gave this post the title of “Dirty Dancing in the Moonlight” was because I am sure that if anyone would do this it would be Jordan. That sounds bad… let me clarify. If Jordan would dirty dance or has dirty danced in the moonlight it was in a joking matter. She would probably listen to this song, pick out this line and dance like a dingy in the moonlight. Jo Jo McFly you are one of the greatest people I know. Thank you for having a positive influence in my life. Happy 23^rd Birthday!
