The Bad I Love

You ever do some shit you know you ain't have no business doin?
How bout stay around a boy/girl friend or just a friend that was no good for you?

Personally,
I think we've all been in this situation at least once.
But why do we put ourselves in such spots?

For some reason,
girls always tend to go for the bad boy.
They never go for their best male friend,
who's been there waiting patiently on the sideline
for the girl to realize how they love them so.
Instead, the girls lust after the kid who used to bully them in grade school
or who rides the bike, or the one always getting in trouble for silly shit.
They want the excitement.
And they're young, so they figure they need it.

So that's it.
The excitement.
But why are exciting things so frequently associated with bad things?
Why can't a night of board games be more exciting than goin out on a Thursday night?
Why can't a friend that always listens to your problems be more exciting than the friend who orders you around all the time?
Why can't a nice steady office job seem as exciting as trying to make it as an actor?
Because in a sense they just aren't.
They're safe, which usually means you know what's going to happen.
With the latter in those match-ups,
as Kevin Garnett said, and I often quote in situations,
"ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!!!"

But as we grow older,
we learn to appriacate the stablity
from all the times we went chasing excitement and got injured.
It's just a shame we have to what so long for such a good lesson.
