Marriage or Mirage?
I'm reading The Commitment, Dan Savage's memoir about getting married to his boyfriend Terry. In chapter two, they each describe the reasons why they don't want to get married. Terry says he doesn't want to "act like straight people," an argument that perhaps does have some merit but is not something I feel wise enough to address.
The reason Dan doesn't want to get married is one I haven't thought of. He says making a big, public stink about your relationship is the best way to curse it. And he cites numerous examples starting with Bob Paris and Rod Jackson, the gay bodybuilders who got married in the early 90's, even hyphenated their names, and eventually got divorced. The list continues:
And who can forget Ellen DeGeneres and Anne Heche on Oprah, blathering on about being each other's "wives" after they'd been together for, what, four days?
Or Melissa Etheridge and Julie Cypher on Larry King talking up their eternal love (and David Crosby's fast-acting spunk) shortly before they split?
More recent casualties: gay actor B. D. Wong wrote a book about having a child with his partner, Richie Jackson, and then promptly broke up with Jackson after the book tour.
Gay comic Bob Smith closed his memoir, Openly Bob, with the uplifting story of how he finally met Mr. Right. His next book was about breaking up with Mr. Right.
Chip and Dale, the impossibly good-looking gay couple on one season of The Amazing Race, insisted that they be identified as a married couple. They broke up eleven seconds after they cashed their check.
Thanks for bumming me out, Dan. Though I'm only in chapter two, I'm fairly confident going through with commitment and are still together today. So hopefully there's nothing to that curse.

Principles of Wanting
The essay is a follow-up from previous essay on Happiness- can be accurately identified as whatever gets you ecstatic.
I Want! I want
1. Most people don't know what they want. (that's my sister, luv u sis)
Give some consideration and take your time to write THREE (3) reasons why do you need this or that! Damn you never border to do this!
Remember jotting down the reasons might help you looking up the priority in your life, except you have no worries over your bank balance.
2. Even if they know what they want (and that's doubtful) most people are afraid to ask for what they rightly deserve. (it’s me, hahaha)
Here! Here! Asked your partner opinion or second or third opinion. We are living in a society, fogodsake.
Remember, if one brain is good enuff, few more brain will be intelligent.
3. People want what they can never have.
Work your imagination to reality. Remember this is a modern world we are living, your dream that you wish might come through.
4. People have contradictory wants.
Too many wants can lead to catastrophic lifestyle. Set the target one after another. Compare with your ability or strength with the checklist.
If you find any weaknesses and threat, you should plan how to overcome it. Give an ample time line, so you may put your feet up in between.
5. Most people don't question why they want the things they want, they just know they want them. (weirdo!)
Are you divas? If yes, please waste off and have no worries over your bank balance. But, what if you are not or divas-wannabe, make sure you have very rich bf/hubby, or else refer to point No 4.
6. People want things for the wrong reasons. (most of us! you believe me)
Are you skew over short term vision mission or long term vision mission?
There are pros and cons for being either one of these. The tendency for short term vision mission is more towards negativity compare to long term vision mission.
Find out a short term vision mission which led to a long term vision mission instead. Example a few partner in bed can be short term vision and “chose the best one to be your bf” can be the long term vision mission.
7. There is a distinct difference from wanting something and needing something. (i need something ?)
Ask yourself?
Some people spend more effort trying to get what they want, rather than trying to get what they need. (Salesmen, i think!)
8. Some people once they get what they want they don't want it anymore. (sluthead!!)
9. Even when people get what they want, they always want more. (that's bitch!)
