Of
Friendship and Love
December 1, 1992
The unspoken word of the dating scene. The sacred taboo that
no matter how hard you try you can't break.
"I can't date you...we're friends."
Someone explain that to me. Let's see, a friend is someone
that you like to hang out with, you share interests with, you generally
like. And sometimes you have friends of the opposite sex. Of course
you can't date them.
Why?
Because that would be too easy. Wouldn't it. Actually getting
together with someone you like....that you just aren't into it for sex
and maybe a little money. Someone who'd you feel guilty fucking over.
Oh no, we have to get together with total strangers. Why? Because of
the elusive "magic" bullshit.
Romance. Ah yes, to paraphrase rollins, it's always so
romantic when she cums in your nose or you shoot over her eyes. Yeah.
Is that any romantic Magic?
Oh you have to feel that special spark in your eyes when your
half drunk ass staggers to a stranger at a bar/party/show/rave and then
both of you play mind games with each other.
I mean, you do know it's all a formula right? 2 people who
are strangers, thrown together, them against the world, like a pathetic
copy of blue lagoon. They hook up, make excuses for each other's
faults, and they fuck like minks. And that's magic love. Mystical
magical love from happy land, where people live on gumdrop lane.
At least that's what they tell you it is. That's the idea of "romance" they'd like to package and sell you in 30 second blips on that propaganda machine you've got sitting in your living room. And you take this to be what "love" really is. And yo
u buy into that.
And then unwanted pregnancy, marriage, marital violence,
divorce, and then the cycle continues.
Christ, I have no sympathy for battered/abused people in
relationships, because at one point they've had a chance to change their
life and be with someone they know, but instead chose to find Magical
TV Romance with some psychotic stranger.
