I Love Garrett Wang

     Ok world.  I finally confess.  I love Garrett Wang!  I have for years and I'm not ashamed to shout it out to the universe.  Why do I feel this way for Garrett?  Who knows why we fall for someone.  Maybe it's his cuteness.  His personality or character?  His acting abilities?  It might just be his aura!  I don't know......I just know that my heart skips a beat when I see his picture, or even think about him.  Crazy, huh?!


     I remember the first time Garrett came into my life.  It was way back while watching an episode of "All-American Girl".  Remember that sitcom starring Margaret Cho?  (Which, by the way, should have had a longer t.v life than it did).  Anyway, he had me at this point but I didn't see him anywhere after that.  It was a couple of years later that fate intervened and that's when I knew his and my lives were mean't to come together......Star Trek: Voyager.


     Are you kidding me!?  Garrett is Ensign Kim!!!!!  I remember looking forward to the next Star Trek franchise.  (The one with the female captain, the awesome Kate Mulgrew).  Well, to say the least, the next seven years of having the pleasure to see Garrett on a weekly basis was fantastic.  I always liked Star Trek, but now I watched it because HE was there!  Although, there were a couple of lame episodes where he had a girlfriend or something like that.  I eventually forgave him by the next episode.  Besides, Ensign Kim's love interest usually had a tragic end or something similar (thank goodness!).
    
     I lost track of Garrett for a couple of years until I discovered him on "Star Trek: Of God's and Men".  Wow... love the bad boy character (Commander Garan) in addition to that long hair! 


     So there it is.  I've let the world know about my great love for Garrett.  In fact, now that I think of it, my partner of 4 years resembles Garrett a bit.  I guess I figured if I couldn't have the real thing I would settle for a close copy.

    Although, I know in my heart that there's only ONE Garrett Wang.  So, my friend, I'll be watching for you again and hoping that one day soon, just maybe ...... .

I Want To Break Free...

Diary...

I know i'll forget what i came here for..

My head was so full of things to say,
but as i open my lips all my words slip away..

And anyway, i can't believe you want to turn the page,
and move your life onto another stage..
You can change the chapter you can change the book, but the story remains the same if you'd take a look.

For the times we've had I don't want to be - a page in your diary babe,
For the good, the bad I don't want to see - a page in your diary babe,
For the happy, the sad - I don't want to be another page in your diary.

Perhaps if i held you I could win again..
I could take your hands we'd talk and maybe then -
That look in your eyes I always recognise,
would tell me everything is gonna be fine,

you're gonna be mine
for a long time...

How To Break Up With Someone (with my comments of course)

How To Break Up With Someone (with my comments of course)

When the time to end the relationship has come, prepare yourself and plan it. Remember, there is always the possibility of inflicting so much pain to a person you used to (or still) care about.

(I need a plan?)

1. Plan when and where you should tell the person of your intention to break up. Do not just call or email the person that you want to break up. That will be horrible and can show disrespect to the person’s feelings.

(I kinda like the email approach!)

2. Be ready with your reason. If somebody is going to break up with me, I at least would like to know why. There is no need to construct a nice movie-line type of reason. It is better to be honest. You have chosen to leave the person; you owe him/her at least the truth. Because once they find out that you just gave excuses, then you might lose respect for each other.

(The truth? hmmmmm....so saying "You bore the shit out of me!" is OK?

3. Be clear with your intentions. Do not say "I just need some time off" if you really mean permanent goodbye. This will give the person false hopes. If it is absolutely over, then let him/her know. If you don’t, they might try things to win you back, wasting time, effort and emotions.

(Again, email would take care of this.)

4. It is totally unnecessary to make a litany of the things you did not like about your partner, as this may only lead to a heated argument. It is horrible enough that you are calling it quits, but it is even more terrible if you start bringing up mistakes from the past and other unpleasant situations.

(So now what do I do with my lists I've been making for weeks?)

5. Do not make the break up longer than it is supposed to. It might only gear towards more misunderstandings, serious arguing and yes, physical attacks. Consider how hurt the person must be. So, if you feel he/she has to be left alone already then do not linger anymore. It is going to be like torture.

6. And, do not expect your ex-partner to be friends with you immediately. Just because it is okay with you does not mean that it is okay with them. It will take some time before a person, after being broken up with, to be ready for friendship.

(Who wants to be friends? I'm breaking up for christs sake!)

Update 06/08/10:  I posted this awhile ago thinking it was snarky humor.  Recently became the person that got dumped.  This isnt so funny anymore.

They say life is a journey...

....so I just want to know when am I going to get there?!
Lately, most of the time I find myself sprawled out off to the side lying in a ditch.
