Length of Shower: 12min.--I often think in the shower about the movie Ocean’s Eleven. Not Ocean’s twelve or thirteen, because I never saw those, but Ocean’s Eleven. I don’t know why, but it just happens across my brain while I’m showering. Maybe it’s because of all the cameras in that casino and I feel like there might be a camera watching me shower. I don’t know. Anyway, sometimes I think about how relaxed and fun the actor’s all were on that film, or about how truly complex the scam was to get all that money. But today I thought about the climax of the movie and how Danny Ocean offers $182 million dollars to the casino head Terry Benedict (played brilliantly by Andy Garcia) in exchange for the woman Tess. Of course Tess sees all this happen and so she leaves Terry for Danny. But what gets me is that for $182 million I’m pretty sure I could live happily and find someone else. No offense to my girlfriend, or to any future wives who may read this, but if someone offers any of you $182 million dollars to let ME go I am telling you right now to take the money! I don’t think this makes me shallow, or even greedy. Think about it; that would cover probably 10 generations of extravagant living! So, really you are exchanging ME for the happiness of an entire family tree full of relatives. So really, it is a self-LESS decision. See my point?
Of course men will see my point and women will think I’m shallow and greedy and don’t understand love (which is totally not true). Well, I guess that’s another one of the differences between men and women. Not that men don’t understand love, but that men will understand what I’m getting at and women just won’t. And I guess that’s ok.
