Not So Free Fall



We've all been there - disaster. You see it coming and you find yourself the deer in the headlights, caught with no escape. Sometimes it's a car crashing towards you; other times, it's the one person you know you shouldn't fall for. With all our prefrontal cortex advancements, you'd think humans would have more reasoning skills. You'd think we'd be able to, as we see our mistakes unfold, say "i should stop while i'm ahead!" But alas, we know we're making the wrong choice, and we know we'll pay for it tomorrow, but there's no way to change it. It's like those dreams where you feel like you can't move. Your muscles lock and you find yourself frozen in time - except time keeps moving. It's paralysis of the mind: something up there just freezes up, the signals stop, and you fall. You fall so deep and so fast that all it takes is a second of hesitation and the mistake has been made; and then you're in it for good with little chance of climbing out. So like Alice, as she fell down the rabbit hole, all you can do is wait - and hope there's something at the bottom to break your fall.

Like a Bad Porno

Now, I know we're always complaining that chivalry is dead, but really, no one wants a man who says "Please" and "Thank you" during sex and wants to cuddle afterward. God, save it for your mom. And, y'know, sometimes a two minute jerk-off after dinner on Wednesday night isn't enough! Sure, an opened door and a tipped hat are pretty nice, but you've got to respect our other needs too. This is not even about a toe-curling, top-of-the-lungs, bang-me-against-the-headboard fuck -- maybe all we're looking for is a little passion. Or maybe we're just tired of faking our orgasms.

To be honest, I'm looking for a toe-curling, top-of-the-lungs, bang-me-against-the-headboard fuck.

Just Fuck Off


And so ends your first week of rationing. Did you survive? Did it help you understand the mentality of Americans during the world wars? Do you suddenly have the urge to BUY BONDS? Unfortunately, from here on out, your strength shall be tested further. Updates will now only be on Fridays: another reason to love that glorious day. Maybe what we lose in frequency, we'll make up for in quality. Or maybe you'll just wait a whole week to get some shit. Whatever.

New Posting Schedule

Alas! The time has come for us to cut you off from your daily escape from intimacy! No, not really... you'll just have fewer escapes. For this week, we shall update Monday, Wednesday, and Friday as a sort of transitional period for you. Afterwards, updates will only be once a week :o i know, it's devastating, but think how much you'll look forward to that one day, whenever it might be. If you have any concerns about your mental health during this weaning-off period, find something else to fill the void: i like to drink my way out of emptiness.

She Looked Beautiful


Unrequited love is familiar territory - we can look to the great Masters like Shakespeare, Eliot, and Cervantes to understand it and move on. But what happens when we need to move on from the reciprocated? While seemingly simple, the complications of mutual love are magnified by their infrequency: we have no one to tell us how to deal when this idyllic situation goes awry. Because usually, things work out; A + B, provided mutual attraction, yield C: a carefree couple that's madly in love. But when they don't? Then we're on our own. We can't continue with the naive belief that emotions alone drive our love lives; we can't assume that if something is meant to be, it actually will be. Life just gets in the way sometimes. We feel the chemistry, the proverbial sparks, but no amount of passion can overcome the boundaries of circumstance. Love does not always conquer all. So how can you change your emotions, when logically, if two people love one another, they live happily ever after? How do you live knowing you grasped perfection, but life took it away?
