The greatest stories of all time...

You know what the greatest stories of all time have? What is their key factor that makes them so great?
What stories does everyone know?
Well, there's always Romeo and Juliet... Hamlet's a favorite of mine...
But what stories do you often just know, you remember throughout your life. Those stories you read and it just so good you wished it had not ended. Those stories that society remembers and continues to remake constantly... the one's deemed good enough to be movies...
I don't know about the rest of the world, but I think it's stories of friendships.
For example, some popular shows now include Merlin and Arthur (Arthurian legend is really fair game in any fiction), the Doctor and his friend (it changes, he is 903 yrs old), Holmes and Watson, and thats just a few.
Then you have House, which really has to be about his relationships with people constantly, particularly Cuddy and Wilson.
There's NCIS, the whole team is practically a dysfunctional family.
There's Psych with Shawn and Gus. And you know you love that show, don't even lie.
Don't forget the Star Trek's classic Bones, Spock, and Kirk.
Most shows that you watch are about friendships, sometimes colleagues, sometimes schoolmates, sometimes those friends you've had since childhood.
I seem to like friendship stories most of all becuase you can always relate. There are love stories, but then you have the whole complicated "they're not good enough for XYZ" and "I don't like him/her" and then there's always this chance that they will break up or cheat...
But friendship is different, becuase friends are friends and you love them no matter what they do.
If you're thinking that sounds like love, well it is. Then there's that romantic love and you say, it sounds like that too. But somehow in modern society it has gotten lost and you lover is never really you friend but rather a temporary person in your life that you may marry.
To say that this is only in the media and Hollywood would be a lie, and that's potentially one of the saddest things that is happening in our generation.
OH and you know you watch shows and every time someone is good friends with someone else, they are automatically in love, according to the viewers. It's true, no one is safe. It doesn't matter if they're both boys, and both of them are straight... it's all fair game, even though it's not true.....

So you ask yourself, "self, what is the point of this rambling blog?"
Well I the writer will do you the favor of telling you the exact reason for this blog.
It has something to do with I haven't written a blog in a bit and I felt guilty.
There's a bit of stalling on homework happening, but it's too late now to actually do anything productive as I can't do anything school-wise after 8 or 9.... yeah I cannot pull all nighters... its pointless.
There's a whole lot of I signed up for NaNoWriMo and I have no idea what else is going to happen in my novel and I'm a couple thousand words behind.....

YAY!

Oh and I felt bad for watching so many Merlin episodes back to back, so I guess this is an intermission to make me feel better about a potential addiction that I may or may not have.
