![]() Nobody wishes to end up dashed on the rocks below unless they’ve been hanging out with Thelma and Louise too long and been assured of the benefits of death wishes. You see, it’s generally advisable to look before you leap, and I’ve heard all manner of horror stories of folk plummeting to their death after slipping through that catcher’s mitt. What do you reckon, shall I take a leap of faith or am I headed for a fall here? Īlas this is where things start to get a little sticky. I will say this however, he genuinely seemed to mean those three little words and I’d be lying if I said that there wasn’t a vague warm fuzzy feeling in my tummy right about now. How can this man I barely know from Adam tell me he loves me and do so with a straight face to boot? Is he demented? Am I about to get hacked up into iddy-biddy little pieces? He can’t say that with any degree of sincerity when he was a complete stranger merely five minutes ago can he? Check down his pants, is he a eunuch? What do you mean “he may as well be”? Give him a few seconds to slap it around some, I figure we owe him at least that. Often this can lead to confusion with the other party as they have no idea how to process such a gesture. If I meet someone for the first time and dig their vibe, then I’m more than happy to serve them up a slice while it’s hot. While the numbers may not suggest a good square meal for love, sometimes it’s the quality that matters most, and I know a thing or two about seasoning my dish. You guessed it, I’m something of a short-order chef and can knock up one love casserole in the time it takes to prepare around seventeen like hotpots. Thus I choose love as my entry point and, if I also like you, then that’s just a bonus in my book. Well it just so happens that I like hugging trees man, even if the sap tends to stain my denims. Tree-hugging hippies aside, most of us start out at like and see where that takes us. ![]() And if Waterworld can find love then there’s hope for every last one of us the way I see it. I actually rather liked that film by the way, didn’t love it, but I reckon repeat views could throw it the life raft it needs. The rest is up to him as love don’t come easy and another Waterworld at this point could prove too catastrophic to come back from. “I will always like you” may not quite have the same ring to it as its more fashionable counterpart but it’s still more than enough reason for Kevin Costner to try and get his dick wet. That’s pretty much how it works and I think we should take a moment to celebrate like as I don’t feel it receives anything like the credit it deserves. If we like the way it feels to have our dangly bits fondled by a randy groper then, chances are, we may well grow to love it over time. You see, like is essentially an entry-level love. Perhaps love is too strong a word to describe my affiliation with mucus but there’s definitely a degree of like going on there. ![]() It’s more pity than anything else and I hope it finds a modicum of happiness on the paving slab to my right. I’m indifferent to mucus but I don’t hate it. Speaking of which, please excuse me while I cough up some mucus. The moment this feeling eludes me is the very same one that my lungs expel their final gases. ![]() I know which way my bread is buttered and it’s love or bust for me. ![]() Love on the other hand is far more tender, approachable, and ultimately rewarding. Fuck hate in its grubby little asshole, all hate is good for is sticking its oar in where it’s not wanted, and generally causing a ruckus. Whether it be exchanging glances or the greatest love of all matters not as it sure as shit beats hate and has far less nefarious intentions. Granted, it can be battlefield, and leave us with one helluva hangover if we lose that loving feeling but I’d do anything for love as I reckon it has rather a lot to do with it, this second-hand emotion of ours. I hear you can’t hurry it but also that it don’t cost a thing. Love is all we need right? Love lifts us up where we belong.
