A movie that got me thinking…

I had the pleasure of watching a great chick flick, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, with my mother this afternoon. The movie stars Mathew McConaughey playing the role of Conner Mead, a womanizer, who is visited by ghosts of girlfriends from the past, present, and future to save him from a life filled with emptiness and casual sex.
