Ugh, Get Your Love Off Of Me!

I was recently quoted as saying this to a friend when talking about a relationship of his, “Ugh, Get Your Love Off Of Me!” It sums up how I generally feel right now about , marriage, and any kind of other long term “forever” hallucination people operate under.

Not being completely ready to join the priesthood – besides that I am Jewish – I am thinking of the things that important to me in the next go’round of this crazy game of love.

I maintained that it was fundamentally un-American to allow your neighbors to loose their jobs so that you could have the perception of [...]

Nasrallah Wins The War

So says this week’s The Economist cover story. A quote from the opening paragraph:
