Guilty pleasure...

I throw myself on the mercy of the Blog community... I have been neglecting my readers, and I'm sorry. It's not because I've been so distracted and dedicated to my book. I wish it was that. But the reason I haven't written anything, is because I've been preoccupied. I made the mistake of borrowing my sister's Sex and the City DVD's...The whole collection!!! And I've been watching that on the majority of my nights, when I should be writing. I don't know what it is about that show, but I think it has me in a trance. I can watch 6 full episodes and feel like its only been an hour. But little do I know it's 3 in the morning. Granted its full of graphic sex scenes, vulgar language (thanks to Samantha), and more drinking than these stank rappers yacht parties. But there are elements of the show that I find appealing. Besides all of the HILARIOUS embarrassing sexual experiences they all have had, and the random WEIRD men that haunt women in NYC, It's their friendship that makes me slightly jealous.

They all live in close enough proximity that they can have breakfast as often as possible. They sit and talk about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING over breakfast. They are so open with each other, because they know that what is said at the table stays at the table. They tell each other about their problems, and inquire for friendly advice. They fight, and make up all in the same episode. And they aren't afraid to tell each other when they are MESSING UP! Point blank they are there for each other in EVERY sense of the word. I hope I can be a friend like that, and have friends like that in my life.

But for someone like myself who is single, just like the ladies on Sex and the City, it helps me to evaluate what type of man I'm really looking for, and who to steer clear of. Of Course the show isn't my guideline for love, but some of those questions Carrie Bradshaw conjures, really make me think. What are we fighting for after we break up with someone? and what are all of the male and female insecurities in a relationships. I love it all.

I'm pretty sure the only way I can balance my guilty pleasure and my writing, Is if I write about my guilty pleasure. I've decided my next few blog will be my own views to some of my favorite relationship questions that Carrie researches about in here column. Should be interesting. Well I think it's about time to go change discs. Season 4 here I come...

Sincerely,
No sex in the burbs
