"I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle, but if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." Marilyn Monroe
Watching Charlie Brown fall on his ass every time he tries to kick the football makes people laugh. Kids especially, but parents too. Rightfully so, I guess, because it is comical. I used to laugh too because I hadn't really thought about how easily I could relate to Charlie Brown. Once my good friend pointed it out to me, I realized that really, it's not funny. S now, instead of laughing, I feel bad for Charlie Brown. Maybe other people do too, but mask the fact that they can relate to him with laughter. Because when it comes to the football, Charlie Brown can't help but get fucked over. Lucy plays him every time. Without fail, every time, he falls for her trick.
I am Charlie Brown and I desperately want to finally kick the football. Kicking the football, in this analogy, is love and Lucy is usually Phil... on days I'm lucky, she's just some guy who reminds me of him but doesn't mean nearly as much. And Lucy is a bitch, because every time, I believe her. Every time, I hope that this time will be different. And every time I'm wrong. Like Charlie Brown, I fall on my ass every time and usually, people are laughing. I'm not sure why, but it's comical, to see some one try and try again without success.
I do admire Charlie Brown for hoping that the next time Lucy will be nice and let him kick the football, but I also want to pick him up and shake him, telling him she'll never change and he will always fall. If only he could see that then maybe he would find another passion, or at least another football to kick. Yet, no matter how many times he runs towards to football with the hope of finally making contact, no matter how many times Lucy pretends like she'll let him reach his goal and then snatches it away at the last minute, Charlie Brown never seems to learn his lesson. He always tries again and hopes for change. I admire him for his persistent effort and hope. Lucy sees it too, though and uses it against him for her entertainment. The cycle seems like it will never change. Maybe it's time for Charlie Brown to finally say Fuck you, Lucy.
Confucius says that if Charlie Brown does not want to fall on ass he should stop trying to kick the ball when Lucy is holding.
Maybe Charlie should just accept defeat and move on.
Lucy's a bitch.
Haha, I laugh because it is funny, but in a pitiable sort of way. People love to pick on me--in a loving way usually--but most of the time, I feel like Charlie Brown.
I am not kidding you: one time I actually got a rock for Halloween. Talk about mean.
I was a Barbie cheerleader, too! How cruel! It's not like I was some messed-up ghost. Who could resist a six-year old Barbie cheerleader? I guess they have always been more of a fan of G.I. Joe's. (Communist. )
