04. 1.09 How to Speak Byron

The other day Josh is trying to explain a moral concept to me. I wasn't picking it up as quickly as I could have been.

"I'm going to put in "Byron" for you, OK? So, you know when Zack Morris[from Saved By The Bell] wouldn't go on a date with a girl in a wheelchair because he didn't know he could do it? It's like that."

A few nights ago, my friend Alison was trying to explain her love life situation while at a concert with me. I wasn't getting it.

"OK. You'll understand this. So, um, you know when Carrie Bradshaw[from Sex and the City] was digging through this guy's closet because there was something she just didn't trust even though there was no reason not to trust him? It was like that."

And just yesterday my friend Sarah was trying to explain this problem she was having with her boyfriend.

"Um, hmmm... OK, you know that Alanis song on her second album that one that goes like [sings some of the lyrics here]... that's what I feel like."

You know how, at the end of every Sex & The City episode, Carrie would be writing, and her writing flowed and captured her thoughts so well?

Your writing is like that.

Don't you love how media in its various forms carries a little part of us in it. Or is that they other way round. I usually get to explain myself through Eeyore, sometimes Stitch, and dare I mention Paris (although who else could you use to explain your shopping addiction?)

That is all...

So your life revolves around pop culture references. Interesting. Someday, somewhere, there is going to be a young kid explaining his life to a friend of his saying: "You know how, in Byron's latest book, the main character..." It will be then that his friend gets the concept he's been trying to convey for the last twenty minutes.
