IS my faith in people easily shaken? Yes it is. One minute, a friend of yours is a badass, slightly depressed political and silver-tongued college student, the next he's a dumped, broken-hearted, financially-burdened to-be-father blinded by a quick taste of love after a few years without a girlfriend. One minute preaching the good, democratic word, the next, a shaken once-drunk with no thoughts in his head but a sense of accomplishment at having ACCIDENTALLY made a kid, and wistfulness.

Do not give me your candy-coated bullshit about "love does strange things to people". I am sick to death of seeing good friends of mine made into wallowing, pathetic wastes of space because someone dumped your ass! There are eight billion people on this rock, and because one three years from your last fling left you don't make it WW3 up in here. Quit floundering. Get an abortion, go about your bloody business, grab a shake, and write a book or summat.


.....Good god, ya'll.
