The most wonderful time of the year

Sammy Hancock — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 21:40:48 +0000

This post has been sitting in the queue for 2 years, and maybe it was time I actually finished it… So I rewrote everything, but the core stays the same.

From the time the cold hits the ground to celebrating another year of hopes and dreams coming true, I watch Love Actually a few times, but that ritual has gone from a viewing a week 6 years ago to maybe one single viewing. It became my holiday movie years ago, due to numerous viewings and along with A Christmas Story, will always be watched, even if Love Actually is far more depressing as a whole.

It took me a couple of years to finally replace a copy that was taken from me and I’ve barely watched it. I ripped a copy for my XBMC machine and a copy for my iPhone.

Soon I’ll pass the first day in the trifecta of loneliness, and quickly the 2nd will pass. The third day takes over a month to finish, but once that’s over I’ll be in my new place. I’ll have started new and one of these days I’ll get back into the game but for now I’m just casually sitting on the sidelines. [I wrote while in the process of buying a new house, which I'm currently living in now.]

So what’s this post talking about? Nothing really, just that I get depressed this time of the year, and I watch a movie that makes me depressed. Oh well.

We are our parents

I had someone I know tell me that they wanted nothing more than to not be like their parents. I believe we all choose our own paths and to not be like your parents is a choice. She told me she didn’t want a relationship that was going to end up in marriage and her partner was more her friend than a lover. Yet this person did nothing to fix those issues and everything fell apart.

It is quite funny that she didn’t want to end up like her parents and said so many times, yet she ended up pregnant, with someone she didn’t love, that was more a friendship than a relationship. I wouldn’t be surprised if she got married and lived her life like her parents, the ones she was so desperately trying to avoid becoming.

No matter how hard we try to avoid becoming the things we hate, we always regress back to what we know best.

HIMYM: The Wedding (S01E12)

I recently went to the wedding of a close friend of mine. It was a wonderful wedding, but it always remind me of how truly lonely I currently am. You really do need a self evaluation on where you see yourself in 3 months when you receive the invitation. If you are in a relationship, you have to ask yourself if this will last until the wedding or if you’re single, that you will be in a relationship. I was kind of hoping for the latter, but things always change.

I really had wished I could have had someone to take to the wedding. As depressing as the last year of my life had been, I was hoping to turn a few things around, but in the end I had decided to stop trying. I was actually offered he opportunity to dance twice while at the super secret after party. Once by my best friends wife and another from a girl we went to high school with. Now, everyone that knows me knows I hate dancing, because I suck so much at it. So I politely declined with the friends wife and said no to the other girl. Now, the other girl, is indeed quite hot. Honestly, I didn’t want to dance just to dance, I wanted that feeling Ted wanted going to a wedding. Have a romantic setting and hope something sparks up and starts. That wasn’t going to happen with this girl, so I just didn’t bother with it.

“The best way to get over a failed relationship is to celebrate someone’s successful one.”

Oh Ted, sometimes you’re so right, but it helps to have a date.
