Nas vs. Your High School Girlfriend

Inspired by soul-sides.com:

"I don't understand why we keep expecting anything good from Nas. The same shit just keeps happening over and over again. Nas is like a high schoool girlfriend that you associate all these good times with:




Then you go off to college and shit is still ok, but kind of weird:




Then you run into her during the holidays and it's great to see her:



So you decide to hang out and you're like "i don't even know this person"...





It keeps happening. Every few years you run into each other and you think there could still be some sparks there:




Because there was that one time you ran into each other at that bar had pretty good sex - even though it didn't quite have the same magic it once did, it was still good:




So you hang out again,



but it will just never be the same. At some point you just have to move on, and i think this is that point for me and Nasir."

So I thought that was a pretty dope assessment. BUT, it is missing a few moments with that ex-girlfriend. Such as:

When you had to hang out with the revolving door of her lame ass friends:



When you had to sit through the REALLY pretentious play she was in, and didn't have the heart to tell her what you really thought of it:



The time she did a song with Ginuwine:




These moments aside, if enough people whose word I trust told me my ex-girlfriend finally got all of the bullshit out of her system, and I had nothing else taking my money at the time, I'd probably give her another chance. Until then, I look back fondly when the world was mine, and not return to that solar system's rotation.
