The girl, the girlfriend, the wife

A journal entry dug up from the graves of Bentley...

How this all got started is that one fine day, my roommate Gusto had received this sensual female on his wall on facebook and distributed it to the ones he felt could most benefit from the need for a girl in their life. Thanks Gusto! However, as time would tell, months later, an angel you might call her, answered my wishes. Gusto tells me the secrets to dating?

She connects with me like you connect with the movie Serendipity - you find common characteristics like the number 23 to illustrate Michael Jordan, who wore the number 23, or in other words to illustrate your love for basketball. What about the book? You also liked that book! Isn't is strange how when you aren't looking for love they come looking for you, but when you go out searching for love and are committed to finding that perfect relationship, you nevertheless come back empty handed?

The difference between wanting a girlfriend, needing a girlfriend, and then wishing they were your girlfriend is quite different. Wanting a girlfriend is seeing your friends with girls and feeling inferior or lonely. Needing a girlfriend is wanting to fulfill a desire or pleasure. Wishing they were your girlfriend is not being able to get them out of your mind, what are they doing today, are they safe, or what was the last thing I said to her.

When I was talking to Gusto, who has just come off a tough breakup with his ex-girlfriend, he had ultimately decided to ride it low for a while. Yet one thing was for certain - he claimed and stated that Pistol Pete had indeed lost his way, that he had fallen head over heels for this angel.

For those who haven't seen Tomcats, a hilarious comedy, will just have to picture the following situation. Gusto and I were talking about the 6 bachelors that use to live in Copley North 101 at Bentley College. Isn't it also ironic how he and I had both agreed around the same order in which each bachelor would hang up his finest apparel and say goodbye to the fishes in the sea to be with not just another woman, but a woman whom he loved, and saw himself growing old with for better or for worse as long as they both shall live. I am also not referring to a trophy wife either, I am talking about the tears and pains that are often dimished by the years of happiness and love for one another.

First to say goodbye to bachelorhood: Leo or myself
Murphy
Abubakr
John
Last to say goodbye to bachelorhood: Gusto

Then we talked about how he actually could picture me getting married, and now that I knew what Puertorican Rum was, that I'd better have plenty of it. I said don't worry, but let's talk about that day when it is actually well within my reach and not just an idea or desire that I may have.

So with that said, I looked at all of the movies that made up my DVD library and came up with the following sub-phrases.
