You know, I have always felt a little disdain for Charlie Brown because, seriously, how could one person be duped that often by the same trick? How does he not know that Lucy is going to pull the football away at the last second? Why does he continue to fall for it? Does he, somehow, enjoy the pain or does he want Lucy to feel guilty for hurting him? Perhaps my disdain stems from the fact that I relate to Charlie Brown in many ways. My own blindness has caused me to fall for the same football trick over and over again! I simply refuse to believe that people can hurt me until (wait for it) I get hurt and then I am terribly confused and, well, hurt. So, here I am, going through another "Charlie Brown Football Moment" and wondering how it is that I ended up on my arse and how it is that I fell for it again! And with that, I leave you with this:
PS. Please have some compassion for Charlie Brown as he hopes against hope that this time it will be different. There are a lot of us out there like him and we just wish that the Lucys of the world would hold the damn football!

I personally think that if, on occasion, Charlie Brown would have told Lucy to cram the damn football up her arse and then walked away for good....he would have been a much better man for it.
*and Lucy would have learned a good lesson. Let's be honest...Lucy could be a bit of a bitch...I'm just sayin'.
With that said, we still tuned in to see what would happen to Charlie next...we were ALL hopeful. It is not wrong to be hopeful...I think it is the only thing to be, otherwise we stop living.
Love you!
