You Can't Always Get What You Want

 

           

I have recently started to watch the show Californication (showtime) and have done some life reflection if you will. It's funny how you can see parts of your life reflected in bits of fiction. Some how living on this roller coaster of life seems to work itself out at times. Yet everything has a way of turning to shit once in a while. Are we constantly fixing our mistakes and rebuilding the broken? Or are we soaring in our triumphs with speed bums to run over. I'll take the latter. The only way to be a good optimist is to know the pessimists point of view. Don't get me wrong, we've all been in that place where life is utterly broken into the tiniest of pieces. But even then most all recover somehow. 

I think I've learned a lot these past couple years. Through tragedy and heartbreak I've found a part of myself, an important part at that. After it all I always find myself in the same place, just a little more grown up. 

Californication is a show about this roller coaster. Where happy endings are questionable and life turns to shit. Yet through that, life works itself out to some peaceful place. Everything in between is pushed in as well. And love? "what if love isn't enough?" well i know a lot of people have an opinion on that subject.  Do we let life lead or do we fight?

     

You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need...
