so, relationships. I thought that since i think about relationships ever day of my life i would start actually writing about them. i could be the next Josh Harris.
I was wondering today, what my life would be like if i saw every girl (or, young woman, whatever is prefered... i'm too guy-ish to know), as a sister instead of a potential date.
Since i grew up hanging out with my mom i have a preference of hanging out with girls, and watching movies that are created for the female demographic, to the point of feeling like i am pretty much a girl... but i just happen to be a guy.
anyway, in true guy fasion i'm getting off topic- there are girls that i know that i value strongly, for the great relationship i share with them. what if i felt a strong connection to them, but it wasn't a romantic connection... it was just a brother sister connection? if you've never had a brother or sister, or if you're brother or sister turned weird and got married, you might feel the same pull for this kind of relationship that i feel.
i feel like a weirdo for getting this awkward subject out in the open. i hope you haven't stopped liking me. heres an interesting fact about guys, that i will share from my years of wisdom as a guy- when we are boys we chase after candy... when we reach our teen years, and early twenties, all we want is girls. then some of us, when we get older, stop caring about girls and go after cars.
that said, i'm want to take a radical approach, that will probably get me made fun of by everyone (more than usual) - trying to be a brother, that women can relate to, and share conversation with... completely removed from the fear that we have to be "something more".
maybe i'm just dreaming... i don't know. maybe someone else could say it better.

hope you'll look back on this without feeling embarrassed ;)
dear shaina,
you and i are an example of this brother, sister thing. unless you're harboring secret romance plans for the two of us.
love jamison.
ps - roper, the whole "boys=candy and older boys=girls/chauches=cars" is a beautiful analogy. when you are a youth leader, and you tell your kids that, their minds will be blown.
dear jamison,
i was thinking the exact same thing as i read this! and i was like "i'm going to leave a comment citing our exemplary relationship, with a witty clause in case jamison is secretly in love with me." we are definitely the definition of this blog.
love shaina.
ps - adam, i thought that was funny too, you have only further affirmed my suspicion that boys are relatively simple creatures. oh yeah, and you have my permission to call us "girls."
oh yeah, and also, i think this was a good thing to "put out there"...not embarrassment-worthy at all. several of my most treasured relationships are these rich brother-sister ones and i admire/appreciate a guy who can love a girl enough to support and nurture her as family and not just a potential date. gold!
a completely random thought- something i miss from nanaimo (besides the ocean)is hanging out with a group of girls from my church. i always made fun of them because they were girls, and they made fun of me because i talked to them like "girls".
now, its a dude-fest around here. my hang-out time with the prettier-sex is at a weird low. oh well. school will start again soon.
(jamison will be looking for prospects).
count on it man.
i still want you or i to wear a shirt that says "prospect" on it. furlz.
"i think i feel a project coming on!" <--(said in the spirit that produced karl's "Liar" shirt)
should auntie shaina look into hooking you studs up with some back-to-school fashions or what? mahah.

uh-oh... i think that our key-words are being carefully observed by companies trying to sell us stuff.
be careful not to talk about... stuff that goes boom, if lit with match.
or kraft foods. companies are always conspiring to sell cheap food.
bahaha yeah and DEFinitely don't mention anything involving "p-h-y-s-i-c-a-l e-n-h-a-n-c-e-m-e-n-t" !! (this means you, jamison!)
