Post-it

Okay... first off, let me explain that I am not at all a "Sex and the City" fan. I'm also not saying I dislike the show - I was just never THAT GIRL (here's your Ah-ha moment) who would have "SATC" parties where I would sit around watching it w/my girlfriends or sorority sisters (in our pajamas after a big ol' pillow fight) nor was I THAT GIRL that would get excited when one of the seasons came out on DVD... etc etc. In fact, I don't think I had ever seen one episode before it went into syndication on TBS.

But now, on the occasion there is nothing else on or I'm hanging out w/Becky and Rachel on a Tuesday night - I'll catch a couple of episodes.

And last night... last night was the episode where Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker's character) was dumped by her dude "Berger" w/a Post-it note.

Well, for some reason this moment in television history made me intensely and seriously MAD!

I was pissed!

My initial reaction was "OH MY GOD! WHAT A PUSSY!"

And immediately I started thinking about how men can be real assholes! Now, don't get me wrong, this is not going to turn into some man-hating, bitter, diatribe ... I just can't stand cowardly men. I mean come on guys! Get it together.

Of course this particular scene was the last scene in the episode, and not 2 scenes before, one of the other ladies on the show (I forget her name) had been proposed to in a very sweet way... so suffice it to say there are men out there who have it together. Who are risk takers - who don't shut down - who don't get scared off. And I'm glad to say that this was portrayed.

And yet, I still spent far too long last night, analyzing past and current relationships (or whatever you want to call them) and realizing that I have clearly yet to find that guy for me who takes risks, who doesn't shut himself out, and who doesn't run off the moment things get scary.
