tune in

Never stay with anyone who after you have enjoyed each other horizontally reaches over grabs your left breast and says:

"I wish you had bigger breasts."

but at least, if I wanted, I could change that with a surgical procedure, but there is no surgical procedure
to
stop you
from being
an
asshole.

B.O.Y. B.A.D.

Beware of the guy who says: "All men are assholes”

You may find this statement endearing at first, like he is sympathetic to the female situation. He is not in fact sympathetic, he is using a literary device called foreshadowing and its sub component called the "red herring"

So when he ultimately does something really shitty to you should have known it was coming. It was his disclaimer, his fine print. He laid it out on the table He basically said, “Well, I’m kind of an asshole”, just like the Heart on the Sleeve guy is telling you “Well, I’m kind of a mess”


He told you, you just forgot to listen.

music accompaniment: B.O.Y. B.A.D.-Tulip sweet

but since I can't find this song online you will have to settle for my personal favorite: "Tattoo My Name on Your Ass"

More love/hate songs

Most of my favorite love songs are by Daft Punk. I feel like I need some kind of extra serious punctuation after that sentence. Like the opposite of an exclamation point. To drive home the idea that I am not making a joke. Or maybe a question mark would work: Most of my favorite love songs are by Daft Punk? As if I can't even believe it. In any case, here they are:

Daft Punk - Digital Love

Daft Punk - Something About Us

Daft Punk - Make Love

Oh, Daft Punk--you make love cool. I find most love songs sort of sickening: I mean the ones about the presence of love. Almost 100% of music is about the presence of love or lack thereof and usually I only like the latter... because love is kinda gross and embarrassing and private. But Daft Punk somehow gets away with it and comes off less wimpy than everyone else to me.

So what are some of my favorite anti-love songs? Here are a few I can think of with sweet videos:

Bat For Lashes - What's A Girl To Do

White Lion - Wait

James Pants - We're Through
