Ted

Recently, I purchased a subscription to Netflix (7.99 all you can eat movie buffet, SCORE!.) The first few weeks were spent watching films with an all-black cast, horrible acting, and cheap wigs. My love for “ratchet” movies is unreal, so this Netflix hookup was perfect! That was until I came across the sitcom “How I Met Your Mother”…… AND I AM OBSESSED. For those of you who have never seen this show go online, get a Netflix account, start watching all 8 seasons, become obsessed, and get nothing done for the next two weeks. Then I won’t be alone. Since I am currently on season 7 and will not wait for you slackers, I will give you a brief overview. The show is based around Ted telling his two children the story of… wait for it…. how he met their mother!! He is currently in the year 2030 and recalls stories back to 2001. Prior to meeting his future wife and mother of his children Ted is on a quest for love. His best friends Lilly and Marshall have been dating since freshmen year of college and are soul mates. I mean, sharing a toothbrush, finishing each other’s sentences, totally made for each other soul mates. Ted is constantly surrounded by their amazing relationship which is hard for him. All Ted has ever wanted is to find his one true love and it is constantly thrown in his face that he has yet to find her. I AM TED. No, my best friend is not in a true love relationship that I long fore but I am in love with love. There is something so amazing to me about being in love. I watch my parents, married 23 years and going strong, and I want what they have. Their relationship is nowhere near perfect but at the end of the day they love each other and it’s that love that fuels each of them to get up in the morning. • I want someone who drives me crazy but I can’t imagine waking up to anyone else. • I want to look at someone the way Miley looked at Laim (Yes, they broke up(eyeroll) but the way she looked at him was beautiful) • I want someone to “Boss Me Up” the way Big Sean does Naya (My new girl on Glee, probably making more money than me) • I want someone to hear me mention an item I’ve been wanting and surprisingly buy it ( Thanks for the standards dad!) • I want to believe in someone’s dreams and potential. ( Michelle believed in Barack y’all ) • I want to support my man at his job (Lala supports Carmello) (Khloe supports Lamar) (No, I am not trying to find an athlete I just love how those two woman happily attend their mans games) • I want to be a power couple (BEY AND JAY, BEY AND JAY, BEYONCE AND JAY-Z!!) Okay, that list was a little obsessive but I really love, love. Like Ted I am so obsessed with it, I can’t seem to find it. Yes, I am only 21 and have many years to live but what if it still never happens. How many woman have said “I am only 21, I have time” then said “I am only 26, I have time” then said “I am only 32, I have time” and so on.. I have to wonder if that will be me one day. The answer to that isn’t something I can Google (unfortunately). So, that brings me to why I started this blog. One day I will show this to my man (Can’t wait till the day that I can call someone mine). He will understand the broken road that led me straight to him (Seriously, I love Rascal Flats for making that song). He will understand why I love him so hard. He will understand why I feel the need to use my inhaler when he’s around. He will understand why my heart skips a beat when I see him. He will understand how every moment of everyday is filled with him somehow. From reading this blog he will understand all that and so much more. I won’t need to fumble my words, I am literally so awkward, because it will all be right here.
