Batteries and Remotes

You know….

I like to think that there is someone out there for everybody, but lately, I am really beginning to wonder if that’s true. Maybe some of us aren’t meant to be in exclusive, long term relationships. Maybe we’re not all marriage material. Maybe that’s why things that [on paper] should work, never do.

It’s like a remote control (that’s you LOL). Different remote controls require different sizes of batteries – sometimes different TYPES of batteries altogether. Let’s say batteries represent the people you involve yourself with. Only the right size/type batteries will fit in any given remote, right? So let’s say you require AA batteries and all your life you keep running across these C batteries and 9 volts, and oooooh, these are small….. these could work…… oh wait….. damn, those AAA’s!!! And your little remote friends be like “why you keep tryna use batteries that you know aint the right size? You know they never gonna work.” LOL But see…. every now and again, you’ve been lucky enough to find yourself some AA’s that fit just right, send that little charge up your shaft like nobody’s business and Lord have mercy…. but dammit, that TV still won’t turn on. So naturally, you’ve gone and questioned your manufacturer like “GE, I thought you said I needed AA batteries? I’ve had AA batteries. They fit, they feel great, but they don’t work. I still can’t turn that TV on.” I imagine GE’s response to be something like, “well maybe that’s because you’re for the stereo. You’re not supposed to be able to turn on the TV.” LOL

So maybe people are like remotes. Maybe some of us can have such a good time with them batteries….. *pause*…….. (LOL) but we’ll never be able to turn on that TV (long term/marriage). We might be able to turn on a stereo (casual dating) or a DVD player (booty call), but maybe the TV is just not what some of us are wired for…..

Is it possible that not all of us are meant to become wives and husbands? Maybe it would upset the balance of nature if there weren’t some of us designated for the hard job (or easy job, depending on who you are LOL) of sorting out who’s who among the masses – or as some of us like to call it, pimpin LOL. No, seriously though…. maybe there is a reason that some of us feel so much more comfortable exercising our options than being exclusive with one person or another. Maybe it’s why, even when some of us really give a scout’s try at the relationship thing, it just doesn’t work. I mean, with me, it’s always the most RANDOM shit. Nothing you would see coming, nothing that makes any sense, but it’s enough to make me be like…. Eh, LOL. And I told yall, it only takes 6 weeks. Every time LOL. I wonder sometimes if I went up into “the cockpit” and looked in that great big book all our names are jotted down in, if it would say “non-matriculated, 6 weeks” next to my name, LMAO!

Don’t get me wrong – I love the idea of being with one person forever. I just don’t know that it’s in the cards for ME. I’d do it in a heartbeat if it became an option, but so many things that really should work…. I’m talking about there is absolutely, positively no reason why this should not work…. Goes up in smoke every time. Makes me wonder if I’m just not supposed be that lady. Maybe it’s the reason I’m cool being single, whereas my homie over there is gonna be ready to plunge to her death if she don’t find herself a man soon. A lotta people aint built for the single life. But it’s not just about endless dating. Terminally single people make different choices than marriage minded folks. Imagine how quickly the human species would die off if everybody went that route LMAO!

Anyway, just something I was thinking about today. Just popped in some new AA’s and as long as I can get my channel 843 on XM, maybe TV's overrated....
