Love--Ain't it a punch in the gut?

[jane_pippin]

Just checking.

1. I thought it was a 'hole in the boat'.

No?

[jane_pippin]

2. That too.

[Magrittes Pipe]

3. You gotta learn to take the crunchy with the smooth, I suppose.

Being in love hurts like hell. It's also the best feeling I've ever had. As much as I hate it sometimes, it's worth it.

[jane_pippin]

4. Yep. That's just how it is.

It's maddening unlike anything else. But, what can you do?

[bbernardini]

5. Actually, it's a punch in the THROAT, according to Stuart Davis:

From his first album, "Idiot Express", I present:

Love Is A Punch In The Throat

There's other ways to quench my carnal lust
than skinny women with their heaving busts
I'll buy a ferret I'll live alone
forgetting all the chicks that I've ever known
Become a recluse and a misanthrope
live a life completely void of hope
I'll let my ferret be my means to deal
with all the bullshit women make me feel
Someday I may become a Panjandrum
or perhaps remain an eccentric bum
I'll cut my ear off and I'll get your address
to represent for you what I can't express

Chorus:
All I could give, so much I'd devote
Love's not a union, it's a punch in the throat

Am I in love, or is my head in a vice?
Are those your freckles, or do you have lice?
For each emotion that you antiquate,
I've got a ferret back home who waits
I'm nescient and I'm love's neophyte
I'm truly bibulous, I'm bald and I'm white
So what's so lacking in my self esteem?
Love's quite pellucid in a bottle of Beam
I've got my complex and you've got your breasts
they're both related by my therapists' guess
You make me dizzy and you're hurting my head
I think I'd rather love my ferret instead

Chorus

Who shut the lights off? Oh, ferret that's you
as long as you're up, could you get me one too
We'll crank our Leo Kottke and get drunk in the dark
and cover up with palaver where chicks left their mark
A ferret's not a weasel, but a female may be
the two are intertwined when you live like me
I'd visit myself, but I wouldn't wanna stay
without a ferret there's no other way

Chorus

There's other ways to quench my carnal lust
than skinny women with their heaving busts
I'll buy a ferret I'll live alone
forgetting all the chicks that I've ever known

Chorus

6. I recall a song from my younger days...

Love is like oxygen,
you get too much - you get too high
you don't get enough, you die...

or something like that.

[ZombieNixon]

7. Yes, and then some.

But once you get over the internal hemorrhaging, the sleepless nights and nearly constant vomiting, you're stronger.

[jane_pippin]

11. lol. That about sums it up doesn't it.

:thumbsup:

10. A swift kick in the balls.

[SarahB]

12. Not anymore.

[jane_pippin]

14. How so? Congratulations to you?

Help me out here. I'm missing something.

[SarahB]

17. It has something to do with this goofball.

(And I mean that in the most endearing way possible. :loveya:)

Since late last Spring. We spend 1-3 days together every week (we're almost 200 miles away though :(, but he bears the brunt of the commuting), talk for hours when we're not working or together, met each other's families, and are moving into more serious directions in the months to come.

[jane_pippin]

21. Aw, good for you!

Good luck, best wishes, have fun--all that good stuff to both of you. Long distance--even if it's a relatively short long distance--can be tough. (I've been there myself.) But, it has it's own unique rewards too.

:toast: to you both.

13. Kicked in the Butt by Love

[wildhorses]

15. Love hurts

by: Nazareth??? I think they did a cover version...:shrug:

[Graf Orlok]

16. It's a kick in the nuts.

:(

[BikeWriter]

19. Love hurts.

[AtomicKitten]

20. I've retired from the field.

Third marriage was NOT a charm. My friends keep wanting to fix me up, but I tell them I can pick my own assholes, thank you very much.

[Dastard Stepchild]

22. I find it to be more of a continual kick to the shins....

Which is not as debilitating, but a bit more annoying.

I'm not bitter, though. Really. I have tough ankles. :)
