Gotta keep moving forward.... Down with the Gilmore Girls

First of all let me start off by saying this, I don't want to hear anybody's shit because I don't care. I know it is pretty homo, but this is me and I don't apologize for the things that I do I just do them because I like them. If there is anyone that has something to say by all means I'm all ears, but I'm going to continue doing the things that I do because hey I'm pretty happy and I am in fact pretty awesome. So with that said let me jump right into it.

So I was watching the Gilmore Girls tonight. (I don't want to hear it) I was watching the last few episodes of the series. Now why did I ever begin to watch this show I really have no idea. Well for the most part it was because of my sister. Which for some reason beyond me she just absolutely loves this show. And when she and my mom were first watching it I was all like good for you guys. A show for moms and daughters, that's just really cute. Then my sister was like you should watch it you'd like it. That was just the biggest mistake. For all of those out there that know me, or think that you know me, know this.... Do not tell me that I will like a show or a movie unless you are one hundred percent certain that I will. Because the thing with me is this, I watch a lot of movies and a lot of shows. This besides baseball is the thing that i am most passionate about and believe me I am just that. And if you do tell me that there is something that i will like, and I go out and watch it and don't, I will make sure to tell you all about it and exactly why I didn't like it.

So the more I started to watch this show the more annoyed I got with the entire set up of the show. To me it is just complete ridiculous on just about every level that there is and I think that it is just self indulgent crap to say the least. And believe me I could get into all the shit about the show that is completely ridiculous but really that is an entirely different blog all together. But the part I want to talk about is right at the end of the series. The part that I'm talking about for those of you who don't watch is the the Logan and Rory relationship. Rory is of course the main character and the show does it's best to put her in this relationship with this complete jack ass Logan, who comes from a very affluent family much like Rory, and the show does its best to make him into the man that all the viewers wanted him to be, and the show did a very good job of it. But right before the show was about to end they threw a little curve ball. Logan gets a job in San Francisco and ask Rory to marry him and move there with him, but she wants to be on the east coast, and she thinks she's too young so she turns him down, and their relationship ends just like that.

This to me was just ridiculous, and the only thing that was even remotely believable was his response to the whole thing by saying that he doesn't want to go backwards and ending the whole thing right then and there. And the thing about that whole situation is the fact that it happens all the time. People don't realize it when it's going on or even when it's over for that matter but it does. Relationships are always moving and evolving, and there is no point in just standing still. I feel that too often people are in a relationship and they believe that they are the only one that has a say so in it. They forget the fact that there is someone else that has put a lot of time and energy into things also and it's not okay to just say something and that be the end of it. I mean what exactly is the point in dating someone for three years if you aren't planning on taking that step. How can you be so close to someone, have even gone so far as to live with someone and then say this is too fast, we are too young, lets see if long distance can work. That's not how life works.

And then to make things worse the mom gives the good old convincing I think you did the right thing. Some day someone will ask you that question and you won't hesitate because it will be right. That is the biggest crock of bullshit I have ever heard. Some day may never come. People always want to think there is something better around the corner because it helps them not think about the fact that they just royally fucked up. But let me tell you there may not be anything better around the corner. That might just be as good as it gets. So what then? I have come to believe that there is in fact no day like today. Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring. And don't tell me that there is something better when a guy has changed everything that he was to make this girl happy, because believe guys don't generally do that. Sometimes you only get one shot at things and the choice you make just might be a bad one. So you just have to deal with it.

I guess the main reason that I have spent way too much time talking about this show is the fact that I think that people think they have all the time in the world to make all the mistakes in the world but you don't. You know, you get this one life and what you do and say to people it matters. It matters a lot. You don't get to restart and you damn sure don't get any take backs. You don't get to be thick as thieves with somebody one day, then tone it back and just be chill so to speak. You don't get to live with somebody and then go to maybe we can work out the long distance thing. You don't get to tell someone you love them and then act like nothing happened and that you can just be friends. People have to atone for the things that they do and say. It's just not cool. Because in the end you can't go backwards. I mean people try to do it all the time, but it never really works. Someone will always get there feeling hurt in the end. You have to keep moving forward, otherwise what was this time you spent building something really worth. Just think about it, and get back to me. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't really think so.
