“All you need is love, doo doo doo doo doo”

Hey there!

So, seeing as Josh is away and he’s asked us admins to post I thought I’d try my hand at somthing different. This has been bothering me for a while now, and though it’s not somthing that most people would generally think about (I think…well I don’t really know – my mind works in strange ways, trust me.) I thought I’d bring it up. Yep, the topic is love.

I’m not talking about marriage, boyfriend/girlfriend love, because I’m no expert in that area, I’m talking about how people use the word love these days. Now that I think about it, when I listen to my friends talking about whatever at school, they mention the word ‘love’ a lot. “Yeah, I love your shirt!”, “I love this song!”, “I love that tv show, did you watch it last night?”, “He is the best celebrity ever, I love him! I love him soooo much”.

So, thats pretty much the extent of their use of the word love. And I wanted everyone to think about how they use the word. Is it being overused now days? Has it lost its meaning? How many times have you used it today, when you really didn’t mean it?

Another thing I was thinking about is how in books, movies and on tv, love is made out to be easy and so un-complicated. Or the exact opposite, very complicated. How common are these misconceptions of love? It’s not easy, well it doesn’t seem it in my life, so if I’m missing somthing then let me know. What do you think about how love is portrayed on tv, in the movies, in books and wherever else?

…

Right, well I’m all deeped and meaningfulled out. How about you? Now that thats over, how’s everyone’s week going? I’m on holidays, so I’m not doing much at the moment, just hanging around home, bumming around. Watching TV. I cleaned some of my room today – I’m attempting to make it uber clean, as I plan to buy a gaming computer at the end of the year, and that’s going to take up a bit of space on my desk, so everything needs to be cleaned. Plus I’m thinking of investing in a small tv and a new ipod clock radio (When I have enough money….I only get $9 an hour at Big W, so it’s going to take a while to recuperate my funds after the computer splurge).

Well, have a great day!

I’ll leave you with my favourite quote, which coincidentally has to do with love:

“Maybe we can’t choose the people we fall for. Maybe that’s why they call it falling.”
