Dear Friends,

You know that movie with that guy and that girl. They don't like each other in the begining. Heck they don't even know each other but, then certain things happen. Some call it luck. Others call it coincidence. Some people actually think that those instances were meant to be. You can always remember this movie because something always goes wrong and it looks like the two aren't gonna make it. Then it happens....Magically...Love fights through the mess and they come together at the end of the movie.....smiling......holding hands. He slides his fingers through her hair and gently leans her head to the side and moves in for the kiss.

Blackness...

Then the credits role.

You know that movie?

Well I am here to tell you what happens if that movie didn't stop there. If the story didn't end there. If the climax didn't occur. Because, well that's what real life is. In real life you can have love stories you just have to remember that the work doesn't ever end. Let's go back to our movie:

The man (Let's call him Boris) probably was a simply guy. Didn't like to have to think very much. But, when he met his co-star (Noris {Bet you thought I was gonna say Natasha}) he noticed something about her that peaked his interest. She was confusing to all Hell! It's ok though because Boris loved challenges and was going to win her heart no matter what. So the entire movie Boris works hard to acheive his goal and in the end he finally does. Noris falls madly in love with him and they kiss.

Now what?

What happens now? Do you stay in that state of floating through the clouds? We are naive if we believe that garbage. Anyone that's been in any relationship knows that it's not all fun and games. It's not the finish line. The gun just went off. Boris didn't win. The only thing that happend at the end of that movie was Noris qualified him for the race. She subsituted him into the game. That game is going to last his entire life. He will be running that race for ever. The only way that out is to quit. Is to stop. Sure there is gonna be potholes along the way. It might rain. It might snow. It might hail. The devil might come up from the pits of hell and unleash terror upon the empty souls that embrace their little lives filled with idolotry and sin.......and I know if that happens two things will always hold true.....

1. Schools in Chicago will still be in session

and more importantly It would be worth the terror because I....I mean..um..Boris....is simply in the race. And he is gonna run his hardest from now on.

Love you guys.
