for those who are bitter call it commercialism but for me im just glad i can eat sweets with a reason behind it. i just came back from the movie "valentine's day" just another movie packed with countless characters that get tangled up with each other and somehow all find their partners at the end. but i do have to say, i take pleasure in these kinds of stories, because this is when my cynicism rests despite their implicit attempts to send so many messages i would love to rack up.
actually, i really loved this movie, (and i say this after at least 5 minutes of rerunning the whole plot in my head after typing the last statement) because it challenged so many stereotypical views of couples molded to fit the movie screen. i witnessed my own intolerance against some of these couples, especially when the cute little white boy got paired up with an indian girl... my eyes were so accustomed to cute little white boy and cute little white girl that when i saw this pair, i felt something missing. wow, and now i'm wanting to put the industry at fault, for showing me postcards of little white couples kissing holding roses, for always pairing up barbie and ken, mulan and shane, fiona and shrek... noits me though. i've always paired me with a korean man. korean, then a god-fearing man. nahh. korean, goodlookin, maybe THEN a god-fearing man. yeah i need to do some rethinking, but happy valentines day to you all. you can learn so much from discomfort.
i like your new layout. I'm not bitter but i still think it's a commercial holiday. I can't believe the movie was good.
