The old guy at the bar

Apr 17, 2008 22:58

One of my favorite parts of the movie "Unbreakable" is the adaptability of it. The premise was that, comics and superheros, were a dolled up version of legends. In order to sell a product and in the American fashion, sell a hell of a lot of something.

The movie made Bruce Willis, the Everyman, into a Hero. With powers that he didn't even understand, but present none the less.

If I had a super Power, i'd bet my red money that it would be the same one that Dane Cook had in "Good Luck Chuck".

I haven't quite decided if its a safety measure, or if I just have re'cock'ulously bad luck. but I have an amazing ability to Fall for girls that are either taken, or on the thresh hold of being taken.

I'll meet Extraordinary women. Smart, funny, witty, Feisty, borderline alcohol. Everything an Irishman could want in a girl. but when the dice are thrown, the results come back for the house. She's always taken.

I can't even count how many girls i've been Into that are either Engaged, or have gotten proposed to soon after i've considered Dating them. Thats what drives me crazy about this whole Military Job. I'll never for one second Regret a day of service i've given to My country. But the longer i'm alive and the more and more my friends tell me how happy they are in their relationships.......Man, I don't know.

Its like an intense catch 22.

Serve your country, and fore'go any chances of you falling for your dream girl.

Alot of you are thinking, "Well, I'm sure you haven't met your Dream girl, yet"

well, I have. and I've met her a few times

"well that means you haven't found, "the one" yet ""

I can't begin to agree or disagree. I just know there are alot of women I have met that are incredible in every sense of the word. Due to the fact i'm always in a different country, they always get swooped up by someone more local.

not that I can blame them. I would've jumped at the chance, had I been in the neighborhood.

I'm not one to thrive on Relationships. I've loved being single for the past 4 years. Its virtually impossible to have a stable relationship in this job, and i've really enjoyed the times i've spent partying and doing the random bar scene thing.

but....The closer I get to getting out, the more I want a girlfriend.

All the good ones I keep meeting, are already snatched up.

Maybe thats how the old guy at the bar came to be. He's chalked full of stories and always alone.Probably because while he was away getting all these stories, his chances of settling down were taken away from him by guys who were still in the area.

Totally not a win/win situation
