After 50 Shades

I'm done with 50 Shades, and I really mean DONE. I wouldn't bother warning you guys all the spoilers that I'm going to spill here, because you know why? There is just nothing that you couldn't think of from a romance novel, except the kinky erotic part of course. The cheesy elements aside, the storyline just gets more and more typical. Half way through book number 2, I begin to skip all of the sex scene, which is getting more and more boring for me. For those scene, I'll just wait for the movie.

Yes, there's a happy ending to this erotic trilogy. And just like Edward and Bella, they have kids too, well, they have 2 (1 was on the way) so technically they win. I was disappointed, because I was not shocked. I was not expected to be shocked but still I'm disappointed. It was like one of those silly love novels I used to read when I was in primary school. Rich guy, normal girl, two worlds collide, differences rises, some villains appear and someone saved the day and they all live happily ever after. 

The main problem I have with 50 is that the ending is too perfect. Hell, the Greys are perfect, like the Cullen family, but even better, because they don't suck mountain lion's blood and don't glitter under the sunlight. I just don't like perfection, I'm not a perfectionist. All in all, this trilogy should be categorized as light reading, something you can read will waiting for the bus or just goddamn bored. So, I'm done. And I am not sure now that it is a good idea to turn it into a movie, a porn maybe, but not a movie.

Going Out

Despite Jennifer Lopez's latest attempt to keep going in, which seems to be the latest trend of life style which people are getting quite comfortable with, I'm actually going in opposite direction by going out, out, as in outdoor to be exact.

Going out was actually the best advice my mom gave me this year, when I was still in a zero-distant, super-glue-tight relationship with my laptop and Internet. As it turns out, the less static I stayed, the more weight I lose. As it turns out, I kinda enjoy outdoor activities, such as swimming, cycling, hiking and other stuff that involved sweat and dirt.

But on the down side, I find it hard to find myself some companies to do those outside stuff with me. Like when it's super sunny, I can hardly find anyone who would be interested to take a dip at the sea or at the river with me. Part of the reason is my limited social circle, but the main reason, in my opinion, is that going out is just not as cool and fun as it used to be.

So, maybe next time when I ask you to go out with me, you'll know what I mean.
