The Allure...

Crazy how attraction can be. Sure,more often than not its merely physical.At first at least. Then its the oddest things that you may have never thought would pull you closer to someone. Physically ,my type varies. I used to be strictly into tall ,big men. Dated a few that werent that tall or that big, and my feelings about that whole thing changed. Ive always liked those with curly hair and chin clefts,AKA 'Superhero Chins'. Just one of those things. Outside of my love for those that look like Philip Michael Thomas, a must is smarts . Never been into the dumb jocks. The artsy types always intrigued me. Brainy guys that could help me  out in class when I know good and damn well I should have studied the night before instead of watching 12 straight hours of reruns of  Different Strokes. Thats what I like. Everybody has their 'something' . Some like glasses. Some like big butts. Whatever it is, make sure it doesnt blind you and prevent you from seeing what's really there.I too have been guilty of allowing the superficial to guide my head and my heart straight to hell.Sure he too raps (yeah I know, which one doesnt),but he was cute, had the chin thingy and used his nouns and verbs properly. Thats what pulled me in, but Lord knows it should have been left alone. Hello is as far as that should have gone.But oh no . Not me. Went in a little deeper and it was all wrong. I watch the news, he watches Jackass. I sip Remy, he sips Lean. Uh uh. I would call to see how his day was going and he gave one word answers. What happened to that awesome wordsmith I fell for? Maybe he got lost  somewhere between the kitchen and the bathroom, because I had no idea who this fella was. Good thing though, before I fell too hard and feelings got too involved it ended. However so many times we dont end the affair and we clearly see that things are not going to work. Somehow led by the idea that"nothing's perfect" ,and while that is true, we already know the situation is doomed. We're human , we live and we learn,but the reality is people are shallow. Shallow in our hearts and shallow in our minds. I know I can be, so Im not pointing fingers or singling anyone out. While it may be tempting to go in head first, just know everything that looks good isnt always good for you. If your mom ever told you that, thank her. She was trying to save yo ass...
