Forever seems like a fairly intangible thing.
I mean, what exactly is forever? I can't be fucked dictionarying, so I'll just speculate wildly.
When the girl writes "Together Forever Baby" as her name on msn, what is she getting at? Who the fuck does she think she's kidding? At the ripe old age of 18, she's willing to commit her eternal soul and body to an electrician?
What's with that? How can she be so sure the relationship will last? Not to say that it won't, and I wish them the best of luck. But come on. What about when one of them dies?
"Together" might be a bit hard then, won't it? And those sentimentalists who would say "but they'll meet again in heaven, and be together for all eternity..."
Oh will they now? What happens if one of them sinned a little too much? Hmm? When one gets poo-shooted straight to the fiery pits of hell and the other's stuck fucking around with a harp and half a broken soul up in heaven? And if they do get to heaven together, they'd want to be pretty confident that they can stand each other "forever", because I reckon it'd be a fucking long time by then.
This is all speculation, because personally I reckon that once you die you're dead and that's it, really, end of story. Callous though that may sound, it's what I think and I'd be delighted to be proved wrong right or otherwise, but sadly I can't see that happening unless Jesus himself comes back to earth to straighten some shit out.
Forever. Tsh.
Forever could be til the end of next week.
It'd be ironic.
I'd look like an idiot, mind you, because then her prophecy would have been fulfilled. Although seeing as she's added "I'm so sorry baby I love you" as a postscript, it would seem that all is not rosy there.
Call me Bitter.
I shall blog a happier entry some other time. For now, though, some food for thought.
