But he's become narrow minded since he found her.
Once a strong-minded chap, he instantly melts into a soft paste upon answer her call. His evenings are either spent on his own terms or hers- one being the social option, and the other being locked in his room on Skype. Not to indicate that there's much difference between the two, just one involves the door being open and the Skype window being replaced with iTunes.
His backbone has vanished, replaced with what I presume is a small electrical chip that replaces all logic. Upon powering up, the chip decides that no single thing is more important than this very moment- and that all future hopes and dreams must be thrown asunder in order to please the only woman that ever could possibly matter.
It's a saddening sight to see him pining for a phone call, or feeling that he has to mark his territory for her approaching visit. I find it hard to watch people lose control of their mind's shaded ape-like figure, in which they slowly become driven entirely by their subconscious' need to be the best damn male (/female) reproductive machine that they can be.
This point loosely links to the plight of over-sensitive people, but I'll offend too many people if I say what I want to say about how they should grow the fuck up (everyone dies, everybody poops and everything is wrong- the only right decision is that you can do nothing about it. However, there is a large world out there- and your troubles can only follow you so far. Mine only took me 3 hours on a bus via Wincanton.)
I'm a romantic person, but my love for this industry, and for music, is equally as important to me as my wonderful other half. I would never say that I love it more, as there are times that I hate music far more than I ever could my girlfriend. In fact, in a straight fist fight, love would (probably) ultimately prevail and I'd get a 9-5. But it's now a large piece of me, and I'd always require the room for myself where I could feel part of the sound again. I realise that I've been blessed with the single girl on the Earth who can accept me for this terribly selfish, dangerous and reckless way of life, and I'm completely thankful for her.
Ladies, gents.
Love does not need to conquer all. It turns out, many spouses and partners actually enjoy the idea of you having a life and being happy away from the relationship. And as long as you bring home the bacon/ love juice and behave yourself- I don't see a downside of trying to be happy. If you consider that a selfish thought, then also consider how selfish your thoughts have been while reading this.
And thus, I'll end with the single cheesiest line I can think up on the spot.
Be all you can be.
