Dear John aka I'm not just kissing you, I'm kissing you off.

I started this letter a LOOOOONNNNNGGGGG time ago and thought it was funny because I have been telling the Capt. that I was going to just break it off, and move on. It wasn't until I say a political ad the other day that I had finally had it and thought that I needed to finish it. I found it, and here we have the finished product, a Dear John letter to John, the actor that I warmly said was my boyfriend that my husband said I could have.

I have been been nothing but loyal. I defended him when others put him and his work down. I still cared for him when he was dating that women, who is only referred to as "That Bitch Neve". I understand that with age he became more bitter, but like a fine wine he bettered with age. As I age...I realize my mistakes and KNOW when it is time to move on. Now, is time for me to move on. With no further ado, here is my letter to Dear John.


Dear John,

While I understand in your youth you felt that you needed to do silly things in order to further your budding career,at that point I did support you. As a matter of fact I thought most of it was juts silly antics of a teenager. You were talented, sweet, and endearing. I know that you thought that Better Off Dead was going to be your demise, but as time has wore on, more people see it understand and grow to love you as I had. I have spent many an emotional hour on you, and supported you over and over again financially.(4 Copies of Say Anything on VHS and 1 copy on DVD, SEVERAL times on TV ) I understood that you were needing express yourself, and saw that you were really going to go somewhere,as you could tell with the Grifters. You suddenly disappeared, and I defended you when they said you were a "hasbeen", I could tell that they saw Money For Nothing. I kept telling you that you could do it, you could do a better movie. Just when I thought you lost it, you came back with Gross Point Blank, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, and Being John Malcovich.(You did that Con-Air then too, but I just called that an action packed oops. You were probably looking for a quick buck, and saving it for a "rainy day"). I saw you on the Rosie O'Donnel show one afternoon, talking about this movie you just started filming based on this book. You introduced me to this book that changed my life and I thanked you over and over again when I saw High Fedelity in the movie theaters about 4 times, AT FULL PRICE, WITH POPCORN AND A DRINK. You could do no wrong! The following year I saw what was the biggest PIECE of CRAP I had ever seen , and was SO hurt that you were a part of that. How could you??? Was working with Julia, and Catherine THAT important to you? You almost made me cry. I was so bewildered as how you could repeat those lines, say that stuff and be in this situation. America's Sweethearts came when you were ON TOP of you game. I don't know how you thought you could recover from this. The damage was already done, and I couldn't trust you anymore. I let Serendipity go and waited until I could rent it, I enjoyed Max but purchased it only on VHS used. I was convinced to see Identity in the theatre, but paid a $1.50 and brought in my own candy and drink. I did purchase the movie when it came out, but at a used price. I was excited to hear when you had returned to Utah for Sundance and MAYBE would have thought to come and see you, but being VERY pregnant changed my mind(I think it was the fact that the man tempted me with food of some sort so that "maybe" was short lived...like I thought about it for two seconds and moved on).

I saw you the other night on "The Actors Studio", and have thought about going and seeing your movie Igor. It looks good, it really does, but I think that we should have a clean break. There might be a time that I will return and watch Grace is Gone, and Martian Child, but I am too hurt to think about it. I have already moved on, I have watched endless Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared both who has a very talented actor, writer Seth attached to the credits. I have taken a fancy to him and his silly humor. I'm sorry, I guess at this point it's not you...It's me. I realize that politics makes you passionate, but I don't want to hear it. I wish you could go back to the way you were...Just an actor who had political views that didn't feel the need to talk about them other then his close personal near and dear, someone which I am not. I don't care what you have to say. When you have gone to college in something other then movies, I might listen to you opinion. So I guess this is it. Take care....we will always have Say Anything, and High Fidelity( I was cheating on you in that movie, I was making eyes at Jack, he totally stole the movie)

Maybe a Little love, MAYBE,

Nat


P.S. The Captain says keep up the good work. Anything you do that keeps me all to himslef is better for him.
