My cousin Jonathan and his wife of (Is it 5 years, bro?)
They are so sweet together.
----- My Long Short Story -----
When we were young, Jonathan and I were inseparable. We've always been the closest thing to brothers the world has ever known. We built Lego starships for hours. Sleepovers under dining room
tables. We bought Razor scooters (when they were new and novel...and expensive) and cruised the San Francisco Piers. We saw the worst Star Wars episode in theater ten, yes, TEN times. We beat the video games on their hardest curse-worthy modes in Los Angeles attics at 2 in the morning. We once planned on buying twin streetbikes and winding up the California coast. That last one never came to fruition.
Then there was Bridget.
When Jonathan and Bridget started dating, I had my doubts at first - as most 'bros' would and should. My fears were quickly unfounded, and I stopped making 'Whtshh!' whip sounds in conversation. Bridget is a unique and special individual, just for Jonathan. A match made not in heaven, but in hearts. She makes him what every wife should make any husband: Complete.
Bridget never broke up the family. She became a part of it - and is to me a sister as much as my cousin is my brother. I could ask for no better friend.
I love the idea of 'them.' The way they live and love. Jonathan is almost certainly always followed by Bridget... in a sentence, in a thought, or on Twitter. (Ooo, a Web 2.0 joke. ^O^)
Me? Well, I'm happy with life as it is now. Content as can be.
But traveling with a couple as a single guy can take a toll now and then.
Like when the Japanese sun is setting on the golden horizon - and we're driving to who-knows-where next... Jonathan and Bridget drift to sleep in perfectly (calculated?) unison. Wordlessly falling into perfect slumbering statues of exquisite comfort.
And I'm sitting in the seat beside them with my camera, reviewing all my lonely self-portraits.
It makes me happy to see them this way.
Yet breaks my heart because I don't have a love of my own.
Bridget knows I'm a hopeless romantic. Absolutely bent in a sentimental direction, clinging to the sure hope that there's someone out there just for me.
Jonathan knows I just need a thick steak.
I know they're both right: If I can find a steak-cooking, god-fearing, knockout of a girl... Sold. We'll be sipping green tea, discussing rent and diapers before you can say the word "tofu".
(Laugh... Sigh...)
Sorry for the book of a description. But now you know my thoughts behind the viewfinder weren't just, "Oh that's sweet."
There's a world behind every pixel.
That said, imma go get a steak now.
