Good Boy, Bad Boy, Good Girl, Bad Girl...the saga ends!




Being bad is easy, being good is hard. Show me a bad person, and I show you a lazy person. Being bad is so easy cause you only think about yourself, which is very easy, if you decided to be good you will have to think beyond your nose, which is hard.

Once upon in Bobby's life there were three girls, one was bad, one was normal, and the other was a good girl. Now let me tell you how our paths crossed.

"stupid woman"

She slapped the girl right there in public because she wore her dress without telling her. Why do women share clothes? That's besides the point, but I noticed her. She is such a bad girl. She gets talked about.

In the midst of all the public humiliation an angel appeared. She was in jeans and a black top. She went to the girl that was slapped who was crying alone and hugged her.

There were other people in the room, staring at the drama. 


So, the next day my friends and I were seated having Pizza on Tuesday, the day when you buy a pizza and have it twice. Buy one get one free. So soda, pizza, and no girls on the table. What did we talk about? Politics? Cars? Machines? Yes all those plus...

"Do you remember that girl in first year?"

"yeah... The one slapping people all over?"

"yeah... Everyone knows her."

"she's fly?"

And there we were, we knew she was beautiful buy it doesn't hurt to inquire from your boys to find out whether they are of the same opinion.

"by the way, that girl who went to hug that girl that got slapped, was she her friend?"

"...I don't know"

"...but I heard she is new, that was her first day in campus."

"so she didn't even know what was going on?"

"yeah..."

"ai, what's her deal, that's not even normal..."

And we started complaining the cheese on the pizza doesn't strath enough when you bite it. But in all our minds two girls existed. The bad one, and the good one.

You can't love what you don't notice, and to get noticed you need to be dramatic. You can either be dramatic with bad gestures like arrogance, pride, cruelty or you could be with kindness, goodness and selflessness.

Generally, everyone is good. If someone steps on your toes they apologize, so being good will not differentiate you from the crowd. Being simply bad will, you don't even have to be very bad. But if you choose to be good, and for being good to be attractive, it has to be dramatic.

What is dramatic?

Bobby all of a sudden finds himself with a magazine that professes Bad Boys win. He pushes the pizza away from the seat, climbs on the chair, then finds himself on the table, everyone is now watching.

"You've seen that guy on the motorbike, he will break your heart, I will not."

And the security guards threaten to push me out but I seat down before they get to where I am. And I can see the campus girls on the next table giggling and staring at me, and the motorbike guy.

I know, they will be talking about the motorbike guy and I for the next thirty minutes, in the same way we talked about the guy who slapped the girl on second floor, and the hot stranger who wiped her tears.

"Good, is normal therefore boring, being bad and being exceptionally good is dramatic. So at the end of the day it's a race between the good boy and the exceptionally good one... The ones noticed."

Question is, which of the two will destroy themselves in the quest for the finer things in life?
