Rainy Romantic Comedy

It rained tonight, and the strangest thing happened. I was practicing the trombone, and alphabetizing my jazz band music when the rain started, so I had to walk back to my room through the rain. And you know, I just felt like walking in the rain, and I really didn't care about getting wet. The strange thing is, I had this cacophony of memories just surround me. One was being in Floriday, in the rain. The other one was being at Camp Wapo as a kid, in the rain. Basically, all these memories came back to me regarding rain. It was strange. You know, when I thought of Florida, I really thought of Disney World. I am not going to lie, I love Disney World. One of my fantasies is taking a week long vacation to Disney World, staying in a nice Disney hotel, eating with Mickey Mouse, going to all the theme parks, the golf course, the Disney shopping mall thing, just everything. It would be cool if I could go there with my future wife. That would be fun. I really enjoy Disney World. Right now, I'm watching "You've Got Mail" with Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks, and Greg Kinnear. I have to be honest, I love this movie. It is one of my favorite movies. I mean, I am a closet fan of romantic comedy, and for the longest time, really enjoyed "Notting Hill," until I saw the light. Then, I realized just how whimsically awesome "You've Got Mail" is. So, I used to get in heated arguments over which was better. Julia Roberts just can't hold a candle to Meg Ryan, I'm sorry. And really, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan need to get married. Just watch this movie, it's so good. My favorite part; when Tom Hanks goes to visit Meg Ryan when she's sick, after he destroys her business (they're enemies in real life, but best friends on the internet). And he brings her daisies, and says how he wants to be her friend. I don't know, I just love that scene. It's so honest. I also really like "Sleepless in Seattle." I saw a trailer for "The Dukes of Hazzard" tonight. It looks intriguing. Nowhere near as intriguing as Star Wars, naturally. You know, the one thing that I don't like about romantic comedies is how easy they portray everything. That's probably part of the appeal as well though. It would be so easy if relationships came so easily, that the one person destined for you in the whole world just shows up and everything is grand. Life would be nice if it was like that, but I think you'd miss out on the journey. So, there are pros and cons. Man, giving flowers to people is such a great idea. We men need to exploit it more often. I am an advocate of a much more chivalric form of wooage. With a modern tint, of course. I think people need to keep their own personality, but modern ways of wooing, like going to clubs and "grinding," crap like that, it's just so lame. Men need to dress nicely, compliment women, open doors, bring flowers, learn to dance for real, go to nice restaurants, speak French, stuff like that. Of course if you don't have the means, you can improvise on all those ideas, I think. Like taking a tablecloth and candelabra to McDonald's, or something like that. I don't know, my views aren't shared by many. But they should be. People need to stop looking at women as sex objects. I'm not saying I'm free from this, because I fall into it too. It's a shame. I don't know, dealings with the opposite gender equal confusing and puzzling situations. Puzzling, people need to use that word more often. Anyways, time to go write the last Paideia paper.
