A Truth About Relationships

The other day my good friend Amanda told me a pathetic story about her friend Cindy. It seems Cindy got involved with a married man. Scratch that – a married man whose wife was pregnant with their first child. One month after the baby was born, this guy left his wife and newborn for Cindy’s carefree arms.

Of course, not long after shacking up together, Cindy found herself pregnant by this guy. “Oh, things will be wonderful between us,” Cindy likely thought as she rubbed her belly. Nine months later, Cindy popped out an adorable baby girl. A month later, the guy left her, too.

This story goes to illustrate one of the great truisms of human relationships: NEVER get involved romantically/sexually with someone who is currently in a relationship. Why would anyone want to be involved with a person that was willing to cheat on a relationship? If they did it to someone else, they’re willing to do it to you, too. You cannot change someone’s diseased mentality with your  desperate genitalia.

The saddest aspect of this entire episode is that poor little girl, who will now live in shame and doubt for the rest of her life because Cindy failed to understand this basic fact of life.

Amazing Grace

One of the big hits of the recent Sundance Film Festival was a little horror film called Grace. Shown at a midnight screening, the film elicited screams and fainting spells. It was quickly picked up by Anchor Bay, and many fanboys have been following Devin Faraci’s lead in begging for a theatrical run.

Curiously, the trailer for this film has barely been seen in public, which is a shame. It’s a very effective trailer for an obviously effective film. Hopefully Anchor Bay listens to Faraci and others and releases this film wide. Horror fans deserve something great after years of MTV-slick garbage horror.
