The Daily Dose x “The L-Word”

This blog post is about love. Fellas, you can either sit there and take notes quietly or just as quietly fuck off. You think I wanna be sitting here typing about this, knowing full well that we’re in the middle of a Global Man-mergency ? No. But it can’t and shan’t be helped, I write what the gods send me. And today they sent thoughts of love n’shit.

I’ll start by saying this much, I don’t believe that as humans we even posses the capacity to deal with emotion. At least not for sustained periods of time. Its just not fathomable. Maybe its just me though and maybe its cos’ I spend a good portion of my day denying my own humanity. In any case, I just think its too hard for us.

Anger, only in doses or we’ll spontaneously combust. Sadness, only in private or the world may cry with us. Happiness, only when we feel worthy and we never do cos’ of our other favourite emotion . . . fear. Everything in easy to manage portions and doses, like them fancy fancy restaurants with the stupid food that’s finished just as you start to enjoy it. Sorta like them emotions, just enough to whet your appetite and then *poof* gone or gone wild.

I for one, I hate emotion. I hate the loss of control. The intensity of being. The fact that people now know what you’re thinking. This shameless display of my very own inner workings, out here for you all to see. Yuck!

But then, I also love it. The blood rushing, the fists clenching, the heart racing, the lungs breathing for their damn lives . . . the emotional high. I just hate that you noticed.

However, there’s no feeling or emotion on this planet more humanizing than LOVE. Its well and truly the worst of the lot, and the best I guess. That shit can bind you to a person, through and through. Then just like that nothing else matters. Work doesn’t get to get done cos’ your silly ass is in love and from now until that passes shit like work doesn’t really matter much anymore. After all you’ve got all you need. All of a sudden, some next being becomes your air . . . your food . . . your life . . . when in all honesty . . . air is still air . . . food is still food . . . and life is still life. What’s happened here ? Oh yea, LOVE.

See, cos’ once love finds you . . . and not the other way around for the teens listening . . . anyway . . . and love will find you . . . and once that thing does find you, she’ll change you. She’ll take your whole world and flip it. In fact I lie, she won’t do any of that . . . YOU’LL do that . . . you’ll do it all willingly . . . enthusiastically even.

Why ?

Cos, love is the law. Love is the law your soul abides by. It runs shit out here. You will bow before her might or wither away. She doesn’t need you, you need her. You and I . . . all of us . . . from day one . . . we’re all love’s bitch.

And you know what ?

That’s just fine.

Bye.
