except this is my take on blogs, so I guess this makes me hypocritical...do people actually give a shit about what I have to say about something? I feel like everyone has an opinion on stuff ranging from types of rompers to the latest news on cnn to how bad the office has become to the various things giada made on food network yesterday. so really, everyone in the world should have a blog, right? besides, my ridiculous add makes it difficult for anyone to actually understand what I'm talking about. hmm maybe I'll just have something to talk about the thing that annoyed me the most each day. no idea. especially because everything and anything annoys me. including my own thoughts.

yesterday I saw a movie with my lovely better half. it was called "she's out of my league" and it wasn't the best movie. it only just made me realize that every person is insecure. the movie is about this dorky guy who works at the airport who somehow meets a "hot" girl. the "hot" girl thinks he's cute and she's "into" him and hangs out with him and they date. the entire time, the dorky guy (kirk) hears from his friends and family that she is out of his league, so his insecurity drove him into an unfortunate break up...but then the friends realize they were wrong and they end up together all the while giving him a shit load of self esteem.
that got me wondering, how do we decide whether somebody is good enough for another person? I have a friend who is extremely beautiful and hilarious...she is also really smart, but she goes for guys who people deem as "fuck ups" or "useless" because they just happen to be high school drop outs and smoke all day. so maybe on paper, they don't match up..but are we looking at paper? then in that case, does that make everything reverse, and that maybe she could be a bitch..and they could be sweet people, so she's not good enough for any of them? it just amazes me how quickly we can judge that somebody is out of our league.
I really want to know the underlying factors which determine who is better out of a couple, or what makes someone good enough. take me for instance..I'm dating somebody who has won an award for being the most well-rounded person in my class. I'm the farthest thing from well-rounded. I am lazy, not very smart, far too social, and immature a lot of the time. he and I are completely opposite. is that why we're good enough for each other? I know we're great for each other because we are a perfect balance, but does that mean I am up to his caliber as a person? it would just be nice to know what decides those things. otherwise, I find it somewhat ignorant for people to judge relationships. you know someone in a totally different way when you date them. people think I'm a nice, easy going person...when in reality I am a monster. I just hope people know the best time to take risks is with somebody they find out of their own league. I know I'm not a shy person, and some people excuse my insanity as outgoing, but I find that being risky with people is the best way to learn your limits. besides, what do you have to lose? they're just people. who cares if she's the hottest girl in school? maybe you're the funniest boy in school. maybe you have the smallest ego, and that's what she needs. maybe you're rude, and she needs that even more.
I could go on forever about this, couldn't I? hmm. I wish people had less pride sometimes. it's the people without pride who learn the most material not found in text books thus finding out their own caliber as a person. maybe when people say "you could do better" they should really say "you could do differently".
