Forever Love?

Is it even realistic to expect a relationship to last forever? Personally, I don't think so. I just don't get why people constantly enter into relationships thinking "this is the one" then for whatever reason it's over. Then the cycle continues and you get all heartbroken and depressed. I don't think think I've ever entered a relationship thinking that I'd be with that person forever. Even with my most recent ex. Our relationship was GREAT! Even though it was all good, I never thought that he was my future. Even when he would say " I can see us together forever" I just couldn't get on that same level in my head, I most definitely did not agree with his statments. I was just enjoying us at the time and seeing where it took us.

Why can't relationships just "be"? Why do we have to add all that pressure of lasting forever. In my opinion we need to last however long we can make it and if something happens that prevents "us" then oh well we're done and thats life.

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm afraid of commitment, Maybe I'm a bit jaded from my experiences and those I've seen, Maybe I haven't lived long enough to know what I'm talking about, I don't know I guess its something.

It's OLD yo!!!

Man, I swear I was born into a family of Ijustdontgiveawhat folks when it comes to expiration dates. Personally, I check the expire date on everything. Milk, bread, cereal, canned goods, medicine, and everything else.

My family (especially granny) seem not to care as much about stuff like that.

Today I was getting ready to cook some frozen veggies that my granny had. I was so excited about those veggies too lol. It was a veggie mix in a triple cheese sauce so I was like oh yeah I'll eat half of this by myself. So she hands me the bag out of the deep freezer and I got in the kitchen to prep everything so I can get my cook on and whatnot. So as I'm getting ready to put the food in the pot, I realize I didn't check the bag for the date and like I said I always check it. So I look and why did this bag say APRIL 05. It's 2008 and almost 2009 and she had these veggies in the deep freezer for years y'all. I was so mad at her.

But that's not even the worst part. I go in the living room to tell her that her veggies are YEARS out of date and she says "well they've been frozen so they're still good, just eat em' and add some extra seasoning" I said no ma'am. I will not, shall not, and ain't gonna eat no 4 almost 5 year old food. I don't care what it is I just refuse to go out like that. She ain't bout to kill me with that.

In the beggining...

So today is day one of my blogging experience. I'm not really sure what my vision is for this thing . I don't even know why I started it; I guess I was just pretty bored and wanted to do something different. Anyhow I guess we'll see where it goes from here. If nothing else I can stay consistent with it and have this blog to look back on a year from now and see how I've progressed and what it's been like. So with that said I guess this is about it for the first blog. Lets hope there are more interesting and thoughtful blogs to follow.
