for the love of the game

"for the love of the game"

You know, I always thought
that men and women...

 
should just
carry around signs.

 
If you're poor and you can't
afford it, you would make yours
out of cardboard and string.

 
And if you're rich,
you could have it lettered
in gold leaf...

 
or pounded out of tin
by Mexican craftsmen.
[ Chuckling ]

 
It doesn't matter.
But you wear them
around your neck, see?

 
And they say things,
like ''shallow'' or ''horny.''

 
It just--
It just would be
a hell of a lot easier.

 
What would yours say?
Inwhich she writes the word "yes"


I love movies where it shows a smart, beautiful woman who isn't all together, who seems vulnerable and apologizes for it, but not really.  It teaches me that it is okay to not be everything to everyone and to fall apart occasionally.  The world isn't a horrible place where the vultures are waiting to pick you apart at the first sign of weakness.   Most importantly it is okay to be weak, smart, beautiful, sexy, and vulnerable. 

Here are a few things that i have learned about relationships....

• pick your battles
• be with someone who has enduring friendships, most of the time if their family has turned their back on them, there is probably a reason why....unless they were raised by wolves and sometimes that might be preferable
• pay attention how he or she talks about exes and past relationships (women, you aren't going to change him....please stop trying), because one day that will be you
• we have all done things we aren't proud of, if he glamorizes it then he isn't sorry and will repeat it
• guys, always open the door and cut the cord from your mother, it isn't sexy
