Team Jacob

This weekend was a big one for Twilight fans because 'New Moon' was released. I had to post about it because 'New Moon' was my favorite book of the twilight series. Want to know why? Because I like Jacob Black way better than Edward. In fact, I don't care for Edward Cullen very much at all. In the movies, I like Edward, but I don't like his personality in the books. I actually wasn't a huge fan of the first twilight book but I kept reading because of the cliff-hanger ending. I continued to read the rest of the series with hopes that Bella would eventually end up with Jacob, only to be disappointed.

I feel that I have a responsibility to explain to all of you hopeless romantics, who have been foolishly smitten by Edward, that Bella should have ended up with Jacob Black.

We all know that long-lasting, loving, and happy relationships are based on strong bonds of friendship, mutual interests, and trust. Not only do Bella and Jacob have a strong friendship, they have common interests, they have interesting conversations, they laugh together, AND they are attracted to each another. Jacob is funny, attractive, down-to-earth, young at heart, trustworthy, and caring.

Edward on the other hand is boring. He is a smooth-talking, serious, stick-in-the-mud. Their conversations never have any substance and they don't have common interests. When it comes right down to it their relationship is based off of passion and lust. I don't know about you but I wouldn't want to spend my life with a cold-skinned, sparkly, 100 year-old, ill-tempered, boring, vampire. Didn't his temper bug you in the book? Didn't you ever get the feeling that he was an insincere, quick-to-anger vampire trying to pull the wool over Bella's eyes? Most of all, if he truly loved and cared for Bella then he wouldn't have left her unprotected and heart-broken in such a cruel way. No excuses.

This is why once again Bella shows she is a poor decision maker. Jacob was always there for Bella-he never let her down, and he knew the true Bella Swan. Not to mention, she could have stayed human if she married Jacob. Why Bella chose Edward and his cheesy, empty, poetic, phrases is still a mystery to me when she could have been with Jacob. Jacob was the one she could trust, the one who would make her laugh, and the one who was her best friend.

PHEW. Now that I got that out of my system and talked some sense into you all, let's talk about a few key points from the movie...

-Edward should not have been allowed to take off his shirt in this movie. GROSS.
-I laughed so hard when Jacob took his shirt off to wipe the blood off of Bella's face when she fell.

Alright, that's all I've got. Overall it was a pretty good/entertaining movie. I enjoyed Jacob's performance. What did you think about it? Which team are you on?
