Life Lessons on the WB

Or the former WB anyway, seeing as it no longer exists and has been replaced by The CW.  Either way, my roommate and I spent this Saturday night in, drinking a bottle of a white wine we can’t pronounce (some sort of “veltliner”?) and watching the first 6 episodes of the first season of Felicity.  So much wisdom.  SUCH a great show.

The quoteable line this time -

“If equal affection can not be, let the more loving one be me.”

As I let that settle, I kept thinking… what a wonderful way to approach people.  To spend your energy.  If, when faced with a circumstance where the feelings, the affection can’t be equal, what a great feeling to know that the one caring the most, the one with the affection, the feeling, maybe the love… is you.

You may interpret that to be a little sad, perhaps obsessive (ok, maybe just obsessive if you watch Felicity and realize she’s kind of a nut job sometimes), but I see it as comforting.  If that’s my goal, then I don’t see how I can ever fail.  And to go through the world, trying to out-love people (again, in a healthy, non-obsessive manner) – well, you just can’t beat that.

Ok, I’m a cheeseball.  I know this.  Good night

I heart Jon Stewart.

“Obviously, the Iraq war is very complicated. It’s another reason why Barack Obama’s foreign policy inexperience is going to be an important issue in this campaign. You can’t have a newbie overthrowing the delicate balance that we have engineered and maintained in this complex region.” (August 22, 2007)
