who likes who likes who & how

Over the ages, it tickles me that straight men and women are still deliberating over tactics and strategies on dealing with the center of their romantic attention (Well, not that I know that gay individuals don't either, I don't.) Oh, the mind games that we are driven to play. It's like marketing. Encode (arguably ENCRYPT) the message, transmit it, then let the poor sucka the other end decode it- and if you did such a good job encoding (e.g. pulling obscure spiritual quotes from the ancients) that you leave the other party clueless - well then the other end's just another idiot.

Over here, its been an onslaught of he-likes-her-likes-him. Colleagues are busy analyzing newfound puppy love, friends are un-requiting it (if there is even such a word), yet other buddies are are trying to eat it only to find out someone else ate their cheese. Its funny, and I get to feel a little bit involved in all of it since people inevitably enjoy sharing the juice, and I am as kaypoh as my next door neighbour.

Admittedly, I simply cannot keep up with the sign reading game. I think at this stage, I've come to recognize that I'll read into the last batter of her eyelids any way that I want to, and that it'll come to nothing but self-inflicted heart ache.

SO. I'm committed to saying it like it is. From here on. I like, I tell, I kena reject/bochup, caaaan heart-ache short while. Don't like, orrrso tell, kena label hao lian - well... nothing new there.

My name is paul & I'm still tryin to keep it real.
