The Essential 'Shot

"These are the contents of my head"

Thursday, February 19, 2009

Odi et amo. Quare id faciam fortasse requiris.
Nescio, sed fieri sentio, et excrucior.

"I don't know but I feel it happening and I am tormented."

poor you

avoid love, dear shot, it only leads to heart ache and heart break. . . and that's pretty painful, sometimes terminal you know

on the other hand (and there are often two, unless one has had an unfortunate encounter with an axe) you might be blessed with better fortune than I. . .

. . .in which case - lucky woman!!

I hate and I love . Perhaps you ask why i do this.
I know not, but i feel that it is happening, and am tormented greatly.

~Gaius Valerius Catullus (ca. 84 BC – ca. 54 BC)


I was not thinking in terms of people but of things or experiences.

well, I did fail Latin 'O'-level (only by two marks)

I'm so so glad it's not love that's tormenting you. . .

so, what's up then?

Nothing is 'up'...I was looking up 'epigram' and came across this one and it struck my fancy (no so hard as to induce pain or bruising).

But really, hasn't everyone thought at one time that things would be better without emotions messing with matters.

In a world without hate and love, things would make much more sense, IMHO.

I'm all for logic and rational thinking....ruling.

HowEVER...it just ain't so.
