hitch with me here.

ah, thank you for your one-liners for the previous blog entry - i assumed that even if they're so minimalist and conservative, there's a lot of feeling under the skin.

anyway. i hope God blesses you with the gall to read this post.

yesterday, we had the usual gimmick to celebrate the beginning of summer. (although i couldn't claim for summer to have begun yet. in a few days' time, it will.) the activity in town that took up 70% of our time was the movie hitch. yea, it was enlightening, but it covered stuff i already knew about. but for those who weren't able to watch (let me say as a side note that my brother and his, um, friends, vicky you get the point, were watching with us in the other side of the theatre), let me get the point across for now.

first off, alex hitchens is what his clients call a "date doctor". (quite a profession for those in desperation.) oh, by the way, that's will smith, mind you, but you already knew that. anyway, i won't spoil any plot for you, but i will tell you the reason why he has a... this job.

there are some guys who are players, and there are some guys who are losers. now most players are jerks, most often looking for a one-night stand. (basic principle #2: don't imagine what she looks like naked.) now, those are the idiots who probably in the current metagame (read: the present) will not be able to score a lot because of their agenda, and those are the idiots mr. hitchens blatantly refuses to work with. why? because they're idiots.

as for the losers' side of the game, these people need hitch the most. (like me, but that's a different story already...) you see, unless you're a total thick-faced dumbass, you cannot just go up to a pretty girl you like and say,

"hi, my name is jan vitaliano mamawal, and i like you a lot. would you like to go out with me?"

no.

just no.

so you require a game plan, but not every person is capable enough of concocting a strategy so impressive and with flair to win, at least, the attention of the girl in your mind. (objective: shock and awe.) that's where will smi-- i mean, hitch, comes in. yeah, he'll help you do all those things and be your coach, as long as you keep one thing in mind: it's going to be long-term. no one-night stands. (sorry, giselle.)

now that i've mentioned that not every guy knows how to walk up to a girl and talk, here's where the other part comes in. there is a great fear among men that, when they ask a girl to [try and] commit to them, they will be rejected. this is the sole reason why boys are torpe. i know, i know, you girls will probably go, "how will you know if you don't try?" why? because we have this thing in us that annoys most people around guys, called the ego. (aka pride, reputation, etc.) now if you're rejected, your pride has been wounded, and that's not half as good. going back, this is where hitch helps you (the guy who is standing there feeling miserable of himself -- you know who you are, mr. ******. yes, i know you.) because you need help.

hitch: "i'm doing this so that the 'losers' have a fighting chance."

so please think about that whenever you're depressed and thinking that nobody loves you - you just need to know someone who actually does.
