"...looking for love in too many faces" Remember that song? That movie? Lately I have been sucked into "love stories" on cable. Not just "TNT." Oh no...HBO, Cinemax, Showtime and 253 other channels I never knew existed.
I've seen "Urban Cowboy" too many times to count. Even though I have the vhs tape, I was sucked into it on cable tonight. I know better...I had Spanish to study. But for some reason the movie took me back to a time when I believed in "romance." I can't say that I don't believe in romance, I just don't think I believe anymore that it happens the way it does in the movies. It kind of pisses me off. If we can't believe in "happily ever after," "love at first sight" and "love conquers all" then what do we believe in? It's like all of those phrases are instilled into us from film, books and even stories handed down from previous generations.
Then we have relationships that don't live up to the fantasies we have come to believe as truth in matters of the heart. TBC....
