Rob: You don't call.
Mike: But you said I don't call if I wanted to give up on her.
Rob: Right.
Mike: So I don't call either way?
Rob: Right.
Mike: So what's the difference?
Rob: There is no difference right now. See, Mike, the only difference between giving up and not giving up is if you take her back when she wants to come back. But you can't do anything to make her want to come back. In fact, you can only do stuff to make her not want to come back.
Mike: So the only difference is if I forget about her or just pretend to forget about her?
Rob: Right.
Mike: Well that sucks.
Rob: Yeah, it sucks.
Mike: So it's just like a retroactive decision, then? I mean I could, like, forget about her and then when she comes back make like I just pretended to forget about her?
Rob: Right. Although probably more likely the opposite.
Mike: What do you mean?
Rob: I mean at first you're going to pretend to forget about her, you'll not call her, I don't know, whatever... but then eventually, you really will forget about her.
Mike: Well what if she comes back first?
Rob: Mmmm... see, that's the thing, is somehow they know not to come back until you really forget.
Mike: There's the rub.
Rob: There's the rub.
- Swingers (1996)
That is one of my favorite Swingers scenes. That movie is over 10 years old, wow how time flies. So many life lessons. I haven't been to Vegas in a while, I should probably go soon.
I look at my calendar and the month of August is almost gone. All I see is black lines through the days. It feels like just yesterday it was early May and all I could think about was graduation. Then there was a fog and now almost 4 months have past.
Thursday night Ericka and Karina came over to hang out after work. They got here late and we had a few beers and chatted. The night wasn't what I hoped it would be, but I should stop worrying so much about whether other people are enjoying themselves.
Friday, well my plan was to go to the Valley today and visit my family and friends. I decided to put off the trip for another time since I feel like I have a few events coming up soon. I still have to decide if I am going to attend my high school reunion, which also falls on the same weekend as a wedding I was hoping to go to. So I was planning to go out to drink with Danny and later meet up with Rino in San Marcos. Then for a weird reason I felt really tired and just crashed out and stayed home. I guess I saved some money.
Great work.
