Love is a Many Splendored Thing? Not Really

Man, love stinks and I’m not just talking about any ole’ caca either. I’m talking about a porta-potty situated in a construction site in the peak of Summer where all the workers have had several helpings from the local vending truck. 

That’s just how funky this thing called love can be at times. 

I was at the bank the other day taking care of some business and I had some tellers that were very stellar by the way because I didn’t have any of my info on me that day but they still helped me immensely.

As I was leaving the bank, a lady came in talking very loudly at the bank tellers. 

I could hear her say, 

“YEAH?! MY EX AND I GOT DIVORCED AND HIS NAME’S STILL ON MY ACCOUNT” with the bitchiest attitude I’ve ever seen and she wonders why he left her ass. 

I think that man would gladly give up half of his earnings for 100 percent solitude away from her stank behind.

That woman was so bent that she makes Alan Harper’s wife look like a trip to Miami Beach.

What is it about love that makes us do the stupidest things?! And I just don’t pose that question to the ladies but the fellas as well.

A few weeks ago, I was sitting outside in the car when I noticed a white car pull up in the neighborhood. A few seconds later, a black truck pulled up right behind it. 

I’m thinking they must be together or something and didn’t think much of it until about 10 minutes later when I noticed a commotion coming from where the black truck was parked.

At first, I thought it was some kids with some horseplay which I thought was rather odd considering it was around 3:30 in the morning. 

I paid a little more attention to it and saw that it was 2 young men. 

One was holding the other back from doing something stupid. 

That man had quite the workout because the hothead was persistent as a motherfucker. 

He had to be pulled away from going back into that house at least 18 times. 

I imagined I would’ve given up after the first 9 times and left his ass there. 

During all of that, the man was highly, belligerent saying all kinds of nonsense.

His friend, who was doing his damndest to protect the dude from himself, was trying to talk some sense into him.

The man mentioned to the knucklehead about how somebody might call the police. 

The knucklehead’s reply was something to the effect of, 

“I don’t give a fuck about these people! Fuck these people! I’ll go to jail!” 

He also mentioned how he’s worried about his children. 

Now, I understand that the young man’s upset but how in the hell are you going to take care of your kids if you’re in the slammer?!

You will be entirely too busy fighting off Big Bubba’s advances and trying to stop Big Henry from taking your meatloaf to be worried about your children.

Also, if you’re so worried about the kids then you should realize that they’re probably terrified right now from all of your antics my friend. 

On top of that, calling their mother out of her name is not a good look either. 

I didn’t think that mess would ever end. 

Interesting enough, no one called the police. Come to think of it, I don’t think anyone came outside. 

Eventually, the man was able to talk the young knucklehead down after he hit his truck door about 9 times and demanded to drive the truck. 

If they’re was a friendship hall of fame, I would nominate that young man who was with him because that situation could’ve went horribly wrong to say the very least.

The reason why I thought about this incident was because the cops were called the other day on another domestic situation and a man was jailed because of it. 

I’m just hoping that it wasn’t the fella from the other night. 

I hope he didn’t speak that stuff about jail into existence.

People have to be careful with what they speak because words DO have power and once you put it out there, you can’t control what’s going to happen next. 

If I could offer that young man and that boisterous woman some advice then I would share with them what my grandmother shared with me a few years ago. 

She told me to never love hard; Always love easy, grandson. 

Take heed to those wise words from a wise woman and be safe out there my friends.
