So, I'm giving her another chance.
I really don't know if it's because I subconsciously/deeply like this girl or just because nothing better has come. I used to think it was the latter, but it has been quite a few months already and she's still here and standing. I promised myself that for ONCE in my life, I'm not going to apply (and bring) up most of the criterias that I have used in the past; to whether or not to go for a woman.
Man, it used to be alot easier than this. It used to be:
"Hey, she smiled at me. I like her!"
"She got some titties!"
"She's cute and her pump is pretty high."
"She's hella fine!"
"She's hella fine with some titties and bootie!"
"She got BACK!"
Then it turned to:
"She's cute and gives it up"
Fast-forward a bit and it evolved to:
"She's f*** fine and smart. Damn, I want her!"
"She's pretty, smart, and atheletic. Nice!"
"She's pretty, smart, atheletic, and hella funny. She's the girl for me!"
(This by the way in my opinion was the pinnacle. I should have stayed with the best one at this time and married her. NO JOKE).
Now, it's:
"She's cool"
"She's alright, but has a good job"
"She's cool, with a good job, and only one kid."
"She's cool, with a job, and baby daddy is out of the picture"
"She's cool."
So, this is what experience and maturing gives us? Being a consumate critic. Are all of the good girls really married? I know there's still really fantastic women out there, but how do you meet these mystical beings?
Oh wait.....I'm supposed to give her another chance.
--Holla back ladies with how your criterias have evolved as well

::legacy and love
I just finished dumping some depressing shit on my personal blog; about how none of us can really leave a lasting legacy. So of course this got me thinking about whether loving someone for an extended period of time can be considered a legacy.
I hear about these couples who have been together for 20+ number of years and they state that they are still in love. 20+ years! How come the longest I've ever been in that state is one and a half years max? Is it biological? I know it's not a male-thing because I know folks who are still in that love mode for over 5 years.
We have gyms and fads that help us get in better physical shape and hopefully lead us to a lifestyle of healthy living that we can enjoy. Where are the love gyms? I haven't seen a yoga mat of love at Walgreens. What about cardio-intimacy?
What I really want to know is after the intimacy, passion, and ecstacy of "being in love" subsides (or does it), is the love transformed into "best friend love". Or if one gets married does it become "family love"; where it goes unsaid but is tacit.
