WANNA HAVE SOME FUN?

[Donovan]

I forgive and forgive and forgive.

I'd like to be able to be a little more like that.

Yea but you get hurt. Every hurt chips away at whatever feelings I have for that person until there's nothing left. And there's no getting it back.

This. I know me. And once I put my back to somebody it's done. So I generally try to exhaust every effort before that point. I know you ladies tease me about some of the shit I say about myself as if it's bragging but emotional shutdown is a handicap I'd probably like to live without. I spend way too much time feeling like Steve Martin in the Jerk, shuffling down the road with my pants around my ankles shouting that all I need is this ashtray, this chair and this fucking paddle ball game.
