THE WYRM . No 5. Todays episode - why do fools fall in love. Come closer my children. I'd like to take a break from spouting shit for a change, but i cant. We all have our unrequited loves, people who made us feel so low we almost considered becoming politicions. We all fall in love, we all fall out of love, todays wyrm is an effort to increase understanfing of the crazy little thing called love. Back in the days of our cro-magnon ancestors things were very differant. Caveman love was simple, find the nearest cavewomen - crack her over the head with a rock and drag her back to your cave for the honeymoon. The biggest problem in those times was surive the preditors long enough to breed the sprogs. Things have defianlty changed since Ug and Ugette rubbed abdomens in the jungle primeveil. Love has become the rubix cube in our emotional toybox - It's complex, frustrating and if you manage to solve the puzzle then it becomes boring and the intrest in it quickly disapears. Why do we bother? I hear someone ask, good question. I dont have any answers, Im just a hopeless romantic who stumbles blindly through life hoping to find the special lady that will let me play with her breasts anytime I want. What is it that attracts us to people? - they way the look?, their posisition or possesions? Their personaily? Attrazction is indefinable and although we can do things to increase our physical beauty, its a hell of a lot harder to change who we are on the inside but you shouldent have to. Being yourself can be a very attractive quality. Fortuantly for hideously malformed creatures such as myself and Anton there are people who appreciate us for our ability to talk bollocks on demand. It Doesent mean we get the woman we want though... 1st year Brunetes with south-african accents who do leisure studies for example. (yes you know who you are) mmmmmmmmmm tasty. the amusing thing is although we all want to be loved and valued many of us pursue people we know will hurt us. Like some drunken hillbiilly we're allways shooting ourselves in the foot. Do we find people attractive because they are dangerous? Because they might hurt us? Is it exicitng? I think so. (I call this, Fonzi syndrome) James dean and the fonz have a lot to answer for, the whole 'rebel without a cause' thing has allways been very usefull for attracting women. Leather jackets and oily quiffs may not istantly make you cool anymore, but you get the idea. Modern myth seem to be that guys dont have feelings, or that our feelings are harder to hurt who talks this bolocks, even fonzi cried (once), guys arent blocks of stone, we get hurt, we cry ourselves to sleep at night, we're just really good at hiding it. Unrequited love is a bitch, its like that cd of hungarian polka favoirtes your nana gave you for xmas, nobody wants it but you have to give it to someone cause you just can stand to listen to it yourself. The problem with love is it needs to be a two way thing, if the person you love does'ent love you or vice versa its not going to work, getting a long term relationship that doesent get boring and stale is bloody hard, Ive never managed it. Being Lonley is the emotional equivalient of S club 7.. it grates away at you untill you turn into a useless pile of whimpering goo. unfortauntly It's been many moons since the wyrm went swimming in mother ocean and it doesent look like the catch of the day is anywhere nearby, but like all us indivudaly wrapped portions the wyrm will continue fishing - if only i had better bait perhaps i wouldent be telling tales of the one that got away. Im no 'love expert' but who is? Those of you in love, be honest - are you really in love or are you in lust? Those of you who aren't shouldent you oughta be in love? (dave dobbyn has all the answers). Those of you who refuse to fall in love,whats wrong with you? - its the greatest strength (and weakness) humans posess. Todays Words of wisdom: I Can't make you love me, if you dont. -Wyrm
