Whoever it was that came up with that whole 'better to have loved and lost' crap needs to be shot.

[DarkTirade]

Out of a cannon.


That is all.

[crim son]

1. I think, okay, maybe ONCE it's better to have loved and lost...

but that's it. Once is enough to learn the lesson and after that, it just shrivels the soul.

[DarkTirade]

6. Heh... well, maybe more than once for some of us denser ones... :P

[rug]

2. In all fairness, they cut his head off right after he said it.

[DarkTirade]

7. But was he shot out of a cannon?

:P

[rug]

17. No, just a guillotine.

[Canuckistanian]

3. Love's history is written by the victors

There are no cutesy phrases for deep, dark resentment and depression.

[DarkTirade]

8. Yes there are.

They're just hidden away in diaries and blogs. :)

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. I hate stupid platitudes, too. And that's one of 'em.

[DarkTirade]

9. Exactly.

Yet another reason why he should be shot out of a cannon.

[Chovexani]

5. It's a bullshit cliche

I've always hated it.

I hope things get better for you. :hug:

[DarkTirade]

10. I'm okay, really.

I don't think I can really call it 'love' quite yet... but what's gonna bug me is just wondering if it COULD have been. Wrong time, wrong place. Or maybe wrong time right place. I can't tell.

Either way, I'm gonna be wondering for a while.

[Chovexani]

11. I know the feeling.

I hate the wondering.

[DarkTirade]

14. I think I can rightfully say that this

was a one-in-a-million kind of girl.

And I don't know how many people live in this city, but I'm not likin' them odds.

[lost-in-nj]

12. I agree

but it has to be AFTER they pull thier fingernails off



one
BY
one






lost

[DarkTirade]

13. Why not both at the same time?

All it'll take is some clamps attached to the cannon. :evilgrin:

[Cabcere]

15. I'm inclined to agree with you.

:hug: :pals:

[DarkTirade]

30. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. :)

:hug:

[Sugar Smack]

16. Out of a cannon and into

an abyssmal toxic swamp full of hungry gators who have a taste for cannon fodder.

Then maybe set on fire.

[DarkTirade]

19. ... I like your style. :P

[Sugar Smack]

22. Thanks. My style is an "acquired taste".

:rofl:

[Dangerously Amused]

18. No.

Dude, I seen people get shot out of cannons all the time in the circus; they get paid to do it, AND and they live to tell about it.

No. A cannon is too good for that fncker.

[Redstone]

20. Well-said indeed, m'dear.

Redstone

[Dangerously Amused]

28. Wayyat Redstone. Good to see you.

Hope you are well. Me, I am unreasonably happy for no apparent reason tonight.


:7

[DarkTirade]

29. Hmm... good point.

Trebuchet then? :)

[Dangerously Amused]

34. I was going to say no... but then I saw what it did to the dead cow.

So, yeah. Trebuchet it is then. Good call.


:hi:

[Fleshdancer]

21. The only time I think that statement is true....

is when your love passes away.

My mother fell madly in love with my father and they were married for almost 25 years when we lost him to cancer. Their love was intense...so much so that I felt in the way sometimes growing up. True soulmates. She endured a world of pain throughout his sickness, his death, and her mourning, but it was worth it for her.

Any other way of "having loved and lost" is sheer crap. In fact it can work against you sometimes if you're carrying the baggage from the old relationship while attempting a new one.

[DarkTirade]

24. That is a good point.

There are exceptions to every rule, I suppose. :)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

23. Love isn't something to be won or lost...

It's just something we feel. When we want more than the feeling...that's when the trouble starts.

[DarkTirade]

31. It might be easier if it was just a feeling

but I think it's a bit more than that. If all it was was feelings, then I would have just asked her to stay.

But since I do honestly care about her, and I know she can't thrive here, I can't ask her to stay. :(

[GoddessOfGuinness]

41. Then you still have love...

You don't have the relationship that you hoped to maintain, but you still have love. If you didn't, you would have wanted her to stay, as if she were some thing to be kept...That's not love.

But now your relationship is in a transitional phase. Your love will help your relationship become whatever is best for both of you.

I'm sorry that things didn't work out as you wished...I do know how painful that can be. I hope that you come to find that the relationship you do have is a precious gift. :hug:

[DarkTirade]

42. Yes, but there will still be that 'what if' nagging at the back of my mind.

Probably for quite a while.

C'est la vie. :hug:

[SPKrazy]

38. more than a feeling

true

its nice to be loved back

and its nice to love and give love

more that that expectation is truly where trouble starts, you are right

[SPKrazy]

25. totally

what was he thinking

loved and lost

well to have loved is to have memories of love.

I have my memories.

shoot the bastard out of a fucking cannon please

[DarkTirade]

32. The greatest thing

we'll ever learn
is just to love
and be loved in return.

Okay, now prime the cannon. :evilgrin:

[SPKrazy]

35. fucking right tirade

prime the muther fucker

:nuke:

[CBHagman]

26. Don't forget "You'll find someone when you're not looking."

HUGE lie. Big one. Oft-repeated. Total horse manure.

On edit: Didn't mean to depress you further. But since it's open season on platitudes, I thought I'd join in.

[DarkTirade]

27. I found this one when I was looking to just meet new people since I just moved here. :P

So that one's kinda hit and miss.

[SPKrazy]

36. I have had that happen

only in my life, it always ends someday

so maybe it is just a series of beginnings

but at the point i'm at right now

i'm not looking

[Danger Mouse]

33. No, no. I have a better idea.

Cover him in barbecue sauce. Then release some bullet ants on him. After hours of unimaginable pain, pull out his battered, ruined flesh and dunk his mangled body in salt water. Enjoy the screams of agony.
Once that's lost his fun, you can set to the task of breaking every single bone in his body. Get creative! Challenge yourself to come up with more painful ways to do it!
After that, feed him to a bunch of hungry pigs so that they may eat of his remaining flesh.
I know that this solution doesn't quite go far enough, and you may be seeking ways to inflict further pain. I leave it to you to use your imagination in order to prolong his unimaginable suffering.
Perhaps see if a nutcracker really CAN be put to good use on someone's nuts. What say?

In case you couldn't tell, that phrase is the most retarded I've ever heard.
To love and lose is to be filled with regret over the foolish mistakes you've made.

[DarkTirade]

37. Wow... and I thought I was feeling a bit bitter... :P

I think you've got me beat by a long shot.

Maybe I'll just stick with morose, you can have the bitterness... :)

[Danger Mouse]

39. Ain't nobody that can out-bitter me

:P
in all seriousness, i have a wonderful girlfriend that has made me very happy.
it doesn't kill the memory of my bad relationships.

[SPKrazy]

40. a double shot of morose

and a twist of bitter

:rofl:

[NashVegas]

43. If I'd Never Experienced That Short Period of Bliss

I'd never have had the resolve to make it through all the excruciating shit I'd been putting off.
