Fragile Chemistry

so i admittingly have fallen off the train when it comes to watching some of my TV shows.  even some of my tv shows that i watched so much and cared so much about but lately i've been getting back into How I Met Your Mother.  I've put this show off for a while for several reasons one being obvious and other reasons not so much but i've been taking a liking to it again as of late and right now i just started season 7 (yeah i'm THAT far behind) and although certain plot-lines have already been spoiled to me, i do like to watch this show for the few quotable quotes that i catch every now and then.

i've let a few pass by already from season 5/6 but this one in particular on the first episode of season 7 caught my attention



i couldn't find it in youtube and in trying to do so i ended up catching a spoiler that i prolly would have called back in season 5 anyways but it still kinda sux that i saw it....

anyhow the quote comes from an exchange between Ted and Robin out in the balcony during the wedding:

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Ted:  "It's more than that.... i've stopped believing, not in some depressed i'm going to cry during my toast way; not even in a way i noticed until tonight.  it's just.... every day i think I believe a little less.... and a little less... and a little less... and that..... sucks.... what do i do about that?"
Robin:  "you start believing again...."
Ted:  "in what??   destiny?"
Robin:  "..... chemistry.... if you have chemistry you only need one other thing?"
Ted:  "what's that?"
Robin:   "timing....... but timing's a bitch....."
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

yes.... timing truly is a bitch.... you sometimes catch yourself wondering where was this person that i used to know when i was there?   sometimes you can find the perfect person at the absolutely wrong time in your life, or the other person's life and you maybe just miss the train that would take you both to the right spot together.  i do agree with what this conversation says.   i don't believe in destiny all too much.  i refuse to believe that special someone out there was already written for me to be with.  almost feels like you have no control in your life and for whatever mistakes, or faults happens along the way, you can excuse the fault or the blame on yourself or you and the other person as just something that wasn't meant to be; when in reality it really was all of yourself to blame.  

and of course what robin says is absolutely true.... chemistry and timing is everything.... and the last part is equally as true... timing really truly is.... an absolute bitch....


maybe i can get myself to watch through this series again... i'm sorta running out of TV shows to watch and with sports screeching to a crawl these days (june baseball is so hard for me... i can't get back into it until after the all-star break) gonna need something to fill up my time and video games just hasn't grasped me as it once did.... i blame Borderlands 2 for being such an awesome game that it makes all other games seem shitty by comparison....
