The Cynic in Me

I'm not sure when it happened, but somehow real life has made me jaded. I can no longer simply watch a movie without thinking, "She's totally scratching the non-stick coating on that waffle iron by pulling them out with that butcher knife." or "Aw, that's sweet that arrogant jock ended up falling for the sweet nerd and defied all his friends to date her, but how long will it last before she realizes he's dumb as a rock (I'm not stereotyping, the character is actually portrayed that way) and can't have a real conversation with him?" Honestly, how many chick-flick couples would actually survive in the real world? That swoon-worthy kiss at the end only gets you so far.

When did I become so cynical?
