Joey-isms

Phoebe : Joey, what would you do if you were omnipotent?
Joey : I'd probably kill myself, hey, if little Joey's dead, big Joey ain't got not reason to live.

Hahahahaha......

Thats funny for at least 3 different reasons.


Friends can always turn a bad day into a good day! =)


Unless you watch the last episodes, because then you think about when it ended, and then you want to cry.
There are some other episodes that make you want to cry. Like when Ross and Rachel break up/get back together/break up/nearly get together/get together/nearly break up/break up etc.
Or when Joey falls in love with Rachel, and he can't tell her. But you realise that this is the first time Joey has loved someone that much, and you realise that he's actually got a huge capacity for love even though he is normally just shallow. You realise that he and rachel could actually be amazing together but they could never really try it properly because Ross would be too upset. And you realise that there's no way it can work out without someone getting hurt.

And you realise that that's how love is in real life. Sometimes when you love someone, it's impossible for nobody to get hurt by it, because we're not machines. We are people who were designed to interact with each other, and that our lives are, in fact, intrinsically linked with loads of other peoples lives, whether we want it or not. We don't even have much of a say in whose lives become linked with ours, because it happens subconsciously, and all of a sudden, you realise that there's yet another person who you can't even imagine living without.

Hmmm.

I think I sometimes might get a little bit too attached to fictional characters.


I haven't watched Neighbours for years, because I cried for 3 days when Flick and Joel broke up. (And that was, like, in the late 90s or something. I would have been less than 10 years old).
Reality can be cruel enough. Why do they have to take all our escapisms and make them cruel like real life?
Where are we meant to escape to now?
They will have to start putting escapisms into our escapisms.



Oh well.
At least there are really funny bits in friends, to make up for the really sad bits. =)

Joey: If the Homo Sapiens were, in fact, Homo Sapiens... is that why they're extinct?
Ross: Joey. Homo Sapiens are people.
Joey: Hey, I'm not judging.
