Pre-programming

In the last episode of this blog ---

I mentioned about NLP or neurolinguistic programming, which a fortune-teller taught me years ago.  I admit I tried doing it, but it somehow became a pain.  In a way, it felt impossible that the "guy I want" exists out there.  I mean, at that time I wanted a piano-playing lawyer who is above six feet tall.  It's not like I had impossible standards (though some of my friends would say otherwise), but those preferences do not have to be literal. Though I did ask my dates in the past if they could play the piano (hahaha).

What I meant by a piano-playing lawyer is, well, I want someone who has an amazing talent, someone who can intellectually stimulate me (and in other areas as well), and someone who is bigger than me --- not big, but someone I look up to, admire, etc.  But of course, over time those standards changed.

I guess --- and this is a pretty recent, uh, awareness --- Jason Segel is the closest thing to a piano-playing lawyer who is above six feet.  Well, fine, he's not a lawyer but he plays one, alright?  And I can tell he's a smart guy.  He may not know where on earth Timbuktu is --- but maybe he can give an elaborate explanation as to how the Mayan calendar works!

At the end of the day, I just want to be with a great guy who makes me laugh, someone I can talk with --- you know, the male-female dynamics is not that complicated, really.  You meet someone, you hit it off, you fall in-love.  And then you get to WORK.  Yes, it is work.  You make sacrifices.  You make time.  You patch things up.  You try not to piss each other off.  You ask for forgiveness.  You forgive.  You say what you mean. You mean what you say.

Keeping things alive is not easy, but it is something you choose to make.  Otherwise you will lose it.  And don't complain if you do.

Alright! Now that the ranting is out of the way ---

I think it is going to be tricky putting together the First Column because I do not know Jason Segel.  I mean, I know bits and pieces via Wikipedia, but that 's it.  I can just assume.  Hence, based on certain assumptions (i.e. he writes all these lovely soundtracks hence he must have an appreciation for theater and musicals) I can make intelligent assumptions for the Second Column.  And then the analysis is going to show up in the third.

I think the Third Column is going to be so much fun!

Mind you --- the Third Column is not about not being myself.  It's more of about having an open mind.  So I get to learn new things.  For instance, in I Love You, Man he's a Rush fan; I'd assume that Jason Segel at least likes Rush.  I have heard of Rush, but my rock n'roll appreciation is mostly concentrated on the 90s and not so much on the 70s/80s.  So this will open up new worlds for me!

Exciting, innit?

Well. I hope I'll get to work on the columns in a day or two.  It's just that at the moment I am a bit busy, and can only spare less than an hour on this blog today.

Alrighty then!
