i've seen this movie before

the one where the protagonist does his best to mend a failing relationship between his best friend and his girlfriend, speaking for his friend to the girl, consoling her whenever things weren't going well... drawing closer to her in the process, such that they discover a spark between them after that earlier relationship ends. they hit it off and end up together happily ever after. typical. so movie-like. yet it happened to me.

this movie of mine's got a twist, though. the protagonist's female companion discovers she's not mature enough to handle a relationship and balance it out with her studies at this stage. she discovers she's not able to commit to a relationship with the protagonist at this stage.

she discovers that she went further then she wanted to with the protagonist. just like she did with another earlier boyfriend.

the protagonist remembers the time she told him about how she didn't think her earlier relationship was God-centered. he remembers her telling him she thought it wasn't... right. it was too physical. the protagonist remembers promising to himself he wouldn't go down the same road... he wouldn't make the same mistake. he'd give her something she didn't get with her earlier relationship. he'd give her a real, guiltless, God-centered relationship. one where she wouldn't be confronted with questions about her maturity... questions as to whether she was mature enough to say 'No' and stop where they were. one where she could rest assured that this was what God wanted for her... one where she could rest assured that they were doing what was right in her Lord's eyes. one where she could rest assured that she'd be... happy. contented. for life.

i wanted to give Denise that. i wanted to make her happy. i wanted to give her something different from what Josh offered her. I wanted to make sure we didn't get too physical as she and Joshua did. I wanted to make sure we'd have a good relationship some time. a good relationship worthy of being called an adult one. not like one of those teenage romances with high school sweethearts that always happen to everyone. not something as.. meaningless and superficial as that. not something as unproductive as that. i wanted a good relationship. i wanted a long-term, fruitful relationship. i wanted to give her that.

but i failed. we didn't know where to stop, did we? we should've just stuck with watching episode V. i didn't want her to be confronted with questions of her maturity... or if she were to be confronted with them, i would've wanted her to have overcome those issues. not settling with having shortcomings in those areas, but rising to overcome those shortcomings. overcoming them together. but that didn't happen.

i've seen another movie.. this one where a guy and a girl who are in love with each other realize they can't be together for a while because of some problem. they work things out in the end, though, after a long wait. but the end result is worth it. they live happily ever after. typical. so movie-like. will it happen to me?

i love Denise. not in some sappy, teenage romance-like, puppy love, "she makes me feel sooo good" way.... but in the way I have come to understand what love really is. where we both genuinely feel care and concern for each other. where we both are there for each other whenever we need each other. where we both would do anything for each other. where we both had a connection that allowed that. a connection that could only grow with time.

I want to wait for her. I want to wait... for us to be able to be together again some time. for the opportunity to at least see how things go with the two of us.

I'm scared, though. because waits only have happy endings in movies. do waits ever yield successful relationships in real life? especially in JC?

especially since... I'm not sure if something like what happened this time around won't repeat itself. I'm not sure if a relationship between us was really meant to work out... if it will work out in spite of a wait.

am i going to wait? what does it mean to wait anyway? suffice to say, it's not as if i'm going to make myself available on the dating scene again. the thought never crossed my mind... i guess i'll be passively on the look-out, but that's no different from what i've been doing all along anyway. that's what everyone does all along anyway. passive observation.. for someone like Denise. for someone as special as Denise, if not more so. yeah, right, like i'm gonna be successful in that area. i've been on the look-out for a while. people like Denise don't come around very often, if ever more than once. i'll continue to be a friend to her, as best as I can be. not just because I still have hope for us, but because i will still consider her a friend, even if nothing happens in the end. I'll... hold out, i guess. focus on my studies too. focus on debate. focus on church. church.... and God.

but waiting is more than just holding out. it's waiting for something. holding out for something. is there something to wait for? is there hope for me and Denise? I want there to be hope, of course. I want it... badly. but I don't know if there is hope. I don't know if that's the way things work.


this is one movie i hope has a happy ending.


day one.

===============
"BREAKING NEWS"
===============

-Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY) owns a global license to market
the genetically enhanced Global Cedar growth trees, with plans to
REVOLUTIONIZE the forest-timber industry.

These newly enhanced Global Cedar trees require only 9-12 years of growth before they can
be harvested for lumber, whereas worldwide growth time for lumber is 30-50 years.

Other than growing at an astonishing rate, the Global Cedar has a number of other benefits.
Its natural elements make it resistant to termites, and the lack of oils and sap found in the wood
make it resistant to forest fire, ensuring higher returns on investments.

The wood is very lightweight and strong, lighter than Poplar and over twice
as strong as Balsa, which makes it great for construction. It also has
the unique ability to regrow itself from the stump, minimizing the land and
time to replant and develop new root systems.

Based on current resources and agreements, EGTY projects revenues of $140 Million
with an approximate profit margin of 40% for each 9-year cycle. With anticipated
growth, EGTY is expected to challenge Deltic Timber Corp. during its initial 9-year cycle.

Deltic Timber Corp. currently trades at over $38.00 a share with about $153 Million in revenues.
As the reputation and demand for the Global Cedar tree continues to grow around the world
EGTY believes additional multi-million dollar agreements will be forthcoming. The Global Cedar nursery has produced
about 100,000 infant plants and is developing a production growth target of 250,000 infant plants per month.

Energy and Asset Technology is currently in negotiations with land and business owners in New Zealand,
Greece and Malaysia regarding the purchase of their popular and profitable fast growing infant tree plants.
Inquiries from the governments of Brazil and Ecuador are also being evaluated.

Conclusion:

The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little
known Companies That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens.
