Love or Something Like It~

All you need is love... Yeah, ya know, I like the Beatles version~ I, for the most part prefer the cookie cutter, hippy dippy answer to everything; love. Makes me wonder though, is there some merit of truth to it? Or maybe too many tokes of the peace pipe where taken, thus inspiring this theory that love is the answer to everything…. Love is the Almighty.

Really?

If I have love I’ll have a roof over my head? My car will get paid off, my dog will stop barking in the wee hours of the morning, and those size 5 jeans will magically surpass my knees.. Sign me up, pass the pipe, beam me up Scotty…or better how about a lil case of reality; getting so close to another being…sharing secrets, triumphs, failures, accomplishments, fears…sharing laughter, hand holding, lovemaking… AND THEN WHAAAAAM SMACK the inevitable…drama, water works, heart wrenching bullshit … end scene…

What is love? What is this alternate state of mind…more psychedelic than LSD, more addicting than my habitual coffee/smoke routine, and more nauseating/nerve wracking than having too many martinis & 6 jello shots resulting in a down word facing dog to the toilet goddess. (not based on experience or anything) Is it an overwhelming sense of comfortability with someone? Or is it simply complete acceptance of your object of affection-free from judgment ..Which brings up another point "Unconditional Love" does it exist? *thought to ponder*

Or is it the fact that you have at least past enough hands that you finally end up breaking even OR Is it this insane fragrance of Desperation #5, the need to be with a warm body..anybody…better than succumbing to seeing yourself middle aged with 20 cats, (In my case dogs) eating lean cuisine dinners.

OR is it an insane animal instinct that is used to lure the prey…biologically predisposed…ode to chemicals…OR Is it one of the 7 deadly sins; good ol lust? Hmmmm ideas to ponder….

What happens when this glorious universe; LOVE’s forecast is overcast with chance of rain?! Then thunderstorms, monsoons, tornadoes, and lastly hurricanes… then what?! In the end, you’ve lost it all… but,hey! Guess what, your sense of humour and pride still intact! Break out the bottle of champagne!! I know I would be alright with that, along with a 5th of vodka and an IV of xanax….
