Down with Love

I hate life.

I’m talking about love. You know it probably started out as this great idea in someone’s garage. You know God was outsourcing that shit in the beginning. The little angel/architect/whatever put it out there and people couldn’t get enough of it.

At first it was this underground thing that the cool people knew about. Then there was the backlash and someone came up with hate. Then God’s little bureaucracy came along and unleashed a committee on love. Only a committee could fuck it up and add jealousy, longing, a watered-down version called like, unrequited love and all the other little baroque accoutrements that have come with love ever since.

And I hate love.
