Buyer's Remorse

hello all,

So I’m sure most of you have heard the news that Al gore has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Congratulations Mr. Gore.

I wonder if America looks back to 2001 and wonders if she should have given the quiet, intellectual guy with the long term potential more consideration. Instead she chose the loud-mouth frat boy with the rich daddy, the guy who could get her into parties and get her drunk. Over time she realizes that there is no real relationship, he’s really only using her to get what he wants before he moves on to something else. Six years later, she is left to wonder why she fell for this Connecticut born and raised guy with the Texas accent in the first place? Intelligence, leadership abilities, decision making skills, compassion, oratory abilities, and vision were all things she looked for in a guy and this guy had none. Did she fall for the image of him in a flight suit in front of a “Mission Accomplished” banner or was it when he would pose for the cameras on his Texas ranch as he cleared brush? Whatever the reason, she realizes that she has to move on. She has given up so much of herself in this relationship that she doesn’t know who she is anymore. Time for a fresh start, ’08 is the year she gets her life back on track. She wonders what that quiet, intellectual guy from 6 years ago will be doing then and would he be available?
