So remember my previous
blog, I Got A Love Jones…Not, all about my experience on seeing one
of my all time favorite movies turned into a stage play. Well
unfortunately, I didn't see it then, but needless to say I saw it on
Saturday, and absolutely loved it. The play was great because it just
reenacted this roller coaster ride called love. What’s even weirder about
it is that I hate roller coasters, but love the idea of being in
love. I think my girl Rihanna said it best I’m drunk on it. Wow…I
see myself really opening up to you guys...I might need to rethink this lol.
Anyway, I liked how it related to the current times by
adding social media. It’s not like the movie is Gone With the
Wind old, but it did come out in 1997, and so much has changed since
then. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc., have their share of drama in people's love life. They just add another
loop or 100 foot drop to the roller coaster. You know back in my
day…lol I had to laugh at that…gossip was the destroyer of the relationship,
and it might have only stayed within the group of possibly 10 to 15 people.
But with the help of FB that all changed…now you can simply Google a
couple and there will be some type of link directed to a social media page.
It’s like living in a small town with a population of a million.

Anyway, I've been in
love...some good, complicated, or I just want, notice present tense now; to
jump out of plane without a parachute. Again remember, I’m a little bit
over the top these are feelings not reality...somewhat. I never give up on it though, because I think I deserve it just like the next. Some might think that
I’m living in a fantasy world because I think my love life should be like a
movie. I don’t mean Menace II Society love
either…which I think is crazy because some people actually relate to that
type of love and respect that more than the Notebook or Ghost.
Duuuuhhhhhh why wouldn't I want to believe that I will be a
happy widow seeing my husband coming back to life through a body of Whoopi. I understand that all
relationships should have ups and downs so it can be appreciated more.
But I don’t believe your downs should be the highlight….is that crazy to
think that way…hmmm…I ponder.

In the play they
mentioned this saying “YOLO” You Only Live Once....which now I believe I'm
quoting Drake...smh. Obviously in my second life I’m coming back as
tree only loving summer and spring seasons, but until that happens this is the
only life I’m concerned about right now. So I’m going to continue
letting love knock on my door, and letting it in. If it works… it
works, but if it doesn't it won’t stop me from living…FACT.
I’m happy I had the chance to see the stage play of Love Jones and shout
out to Margaret Mahdi and The Mahdi Theater Company for putting together an
awesome show. It’s nice to see that other people are drunk on this
thing called LOVE too
Until next time...stay
tuned.
sniff sniff....(wipingtear) this was good baby girl -
