Of course, I have this great family with whom I have fun every day, but my old friends are all too busy. Whenever that seems the case, they are probably not really great friends any more, right? I need a fresh bunch of friends. I don't know exactly where you can buy them. Can I order them online? Wouldn't that make life a whole lot easier?
If you could buy your friends online, you could just filter through the site. Select their favorite food, their hair color and length, their clothing style, music taste, etc. Time out. Doesn't that already exist? Isn't that what dating sites are for? I was writing this in a cynical way, but now that I think about it, it's kind of pathetic that this actually already exists!
I'm not saying there's no chance you can find some soul mate online by filtering and putting up your best picture, but isn't it way more fun to tell this really romantic story to your kids of how you and daddy met? Those are dreams. In real life, love never comes the way you expect or want it to. Movies make us biased, though, so we are not easily satisfied.
In movies, even a gap year sounds amazing. In real life, however, it's just me, behind my desk, scratching freshly sucked mosquito bites. I go to the movies a lot. I guess that's how movies are a part of me. They fill up the gap, for now. Later, I'll have to find something else to fill up the gap. Or maybe I've found it already... There's one thing that I have always been passionate about. It's something really dorky, I don't know how many people are actually like me.
I invite you all into this new life of mine, starting from day 1. Isn't it amazing how I can just start a life from day 1? I'm already typing and saying all these weird things. I feel great.
