Forks, WA is real ... Twilight is not.

Hello and thank you for stopping by to read my first post!  Let me explain a little bit about this post (and blog) and how it all came to fruition.  I was sound asleep one night when I awoke from a dream about a certain personal situation that had recently left me a little puzzled.  When I started thinking about the dream and how it related to my situation (and the other person involved) it made me have silly, fleeting, half-awake thoughts of what was possibly going through the other person's mind.  Knowing the other person involved, it really isn't that far-fetched to believe that they would compare their life to a tween girl's favorite fantasy, although they will never admit to that -- since they are supposedly "grown."  Since I couldn't go back to sleep because I couldn't stop thinking about it, I decided to rant my silly thoughts on Facebook as a way of release in hopes that I might get back to sleep.  The next day, here we are!  

Now, I'm not trying to be mean or spiteful.  Being cruel is not something I ever intend to do.  I do not want to harm anyone's emotional well-being or defame their character in any way.
 
That said: The thoughts and opinions that I shall express from here on out are not necessarily intended for just one person and should not be taken personally. The purpose of this blog is for entertainment and perspective only.  Feel free to disagree with me (and discuss with me), but please be respectful of me and my readers in your comments.

Below is the Facebook rant that inspired the idea to start this blog:

Here's a thought: if you feel it necessary to compare your life and/or relationships with friends and significant others to "Twilight," then you need to grow up and get a reality check. Read some Anne Rice or Bram Stoker while you're at it. Watch "True Blood." (Mmmm... Eric Northman... Jason Stackhouse... Alcede the werewolf guy... ) Better yet, watch the History Channel's documentary about how the legend of vampires began. They were not living dead, or sparkly in the sunshine, and they weren't any stronger or faster than you and me. They were just uneducated cult followers in Romania who were starving themselves on a diet strictly consisting of animal blood and they eventually went nuts enough to start killing people for it in the night. Don't ask where that came from... My main point is: DUDE! Stop living like a 14 year old girl (unless you are one) and find a more worthwhile comparison to relate to. By the way, in case you haven't seen or read the whole series, Bella chose Edward, not Jacob. Maybe you think she should have chosen Jacob, but that would change the story which would then defeat the purpose of the story because as it is written, Bella gets everything she wants by choosing Edward. If she chose Jacob, she'd end up unfulfilled, always home alone with their litter of pups, getting old and facing certain death (her two biggest fears.) Bella wasn't as stupid as we have previously believed. No, no, she was an entrepreneurial opportunist who was really good at faking indecisiveness. You know from the very beginning that she would choose Edward... Why wouldn't she? He's handsome, he sparkles in the sunlight and he can give her immortal life and eternal youth. Not to mention that anyone who messed with her could easily go missing without a trace as long as Edward is by her side and without Edward, there would be no Reneesme for Jacob to imprint on. Meanwhile, Jacob is always off running with the pack, smells like a dog, has no game with his shirt on, and can only attempt to protect her from vampires... And he likes little girls. *sigh* This is the life of an insomniac...it's sad, I know. I don't really know how to explain where this all came from. Maybe one of you out there understands? Lol Good night. Tomorrow, maybe I will share my thoughts on "Peter Pan."

For the record, I have only read all of the books.  I've seen the first 3 movies, but that's as far as my Twilight fascination went before I lost interest.  Also, I'd like to apologize for my disgusting use (and non-use) of proper punctuation and non-intelligent vocabulary.  It's hard to be articulate when you're not entirely awake and you're ranting.  If you made it this far, thanks again for reading!  Until next time...
