I love you

"I love you. I love you. I'm not even embarrassed to say it - I just, I love you."

"I'm not embarrassed."

"I love you."

"I love you. Why don't we say that every day? Why can't we say it more often?"

"I just love you. I just wanna go to the rooftops and scream 'I love my best friend Evan.'"

"We should…go up on my roof."

-Seth and Evan, Superbad


So...the dialogue here in this movie is for comedic purposes. However, I was thinking about it recently, and I feel that this is actually appropriate. Most of my best friends, I really love them. We should make it clear to the people we care about that they are important to us. Though it's funny in the movie, it makes sense to me. It is a great thing to have close friends that we really care about, and we should never take them for granted.

However, being a huge fan of Fight Club and the hyper masculinity advocated in that movie, where do we (males) find a balance between these two? Just a thought...because parts of me buy into both mentalities. Something to ponder, I suppose.

I really have nothing more for this post...merely my ramblings for the day. Something that gets my mind a-churning about stereotyping and cultural norms...
