Now it's my turn to apologize for the lack of posting. Except I don't have a good excuse. So sorry, I'll just have to give you an all-Conor post today.
Broken Hearts and Burgers
by Conor Levis
What's going on with couples lately? My brother and one of my good friends recently ended long relationships right before Valentines Day. Not only that but many other couples I know have been having problems as of late. This will most likely be the sappiest, most sentimental thing I ever write on this blog and it was supposed to be for Valentine's Day but I never got around to finishing it. It is still very relevant to me so that's why you have to read it. I guess you're probably wondering about the title of this post...that's right, I'm eating a hamburger as I write this. I don't really care for burgers to be honest. They just don't appeal to me all that much. I never go out of my way to have one and I never crave one if I don't have it. The thing is...they're delicious and the minute I bite into one, all of those great feelings come back to me. I may not always be happy with a burger but at least I know how I really feel about it. Oh yeah, relationships...
I'm no Dr. Phil but I've played this game long enough to give my opinion. It sucks to have your heart broken, it really does. But with all the heartbreak that's been happening around me, I can only ask one thing...is it really worth it? The problem always seems to be people failing to differentiate real emotion from a fake one. I've seen relationships end that never should have from being hooked on a feeling and I've seen relationships go on far too long because of false feelings and the fear of being alone. You're going to feel great when things are going well and you're gonna feel awful when they aren't. That's just how the game works. The key is to find that one true, consistent emotion. I have a friend who just got out of a long relationship that consisted of cheating and constant fighting among other things. It got to the point where he didn't even like her anymore. Actually he legitimately hated her, yet he stayed with her. I used to tell him over and over that one day he would look back and regret it because he was holding on to something that wasn't there anymore. Needless to say, that day finally came and all I could say was I told you so.
I also know of another relationship that just ended because of how somebody felt in a certain moment and not how they truly feel about the person. After working through the initial kinks of being a new couple, things had been really good with these two for a while until they butted heads again and she ultimately wanted a break. The sad part is that he is falling for this girl and really cares about her and I know deep down that she does too. But I guess that's the funny thing about relationships. One day you think you might be in love with someone, the next day they're gone. But the memories and the lessons learned stay with you forever. So if this hits home with any of you, don't dwell on the past. There's always someone better out there for everyone. Sometimes everything you could ever want is right in front of you and you just never realized : ) And then sometimes things are worth fighting for. It's up to you to figure out how you truly feel. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna continue to indulge in my one true love....FOOD!
My Video Picks:
I found the latest "I Am Not" Dancing with the Stars commercial unintentionally hilarious. It reminds of something they would do before a big game in sports to get the juices flowing. What was the point of this? To get us fired up to watch a bunch of celebrities attempt to dance? I particularly like the Denise Richards "I am not Drew Lachey" at the end. I wonder if she even knows who he is.
I found this incredible video of Audioslave frontman, Chris Cornell, formerly of Soundgarden, performing an acoustic version of his monster hit "Black Hole Sun" at an Audioslave concert a few years back. I love the reaction of the crowd when they realized what he was playing. It gives me chills and not just because the original is one of my 5 favorite songs of all-time.

No Hot Bitch of the Day, go look elsewhere you pervs.
