But trying to describe how I felt watching her dance around and sing would be like trying to build a skyscraper with my bare hands. It made me want to marry her. Made me want to buy her a magic airplane and fly her away to a place where nothing bad could ever happen. Made me want to pour rubber cement all over my chest and then lay down on top of her so that we’d be stuck together, and so it would hurt like hell if we ever tried to tear ourselves apart.","author":"Tiffanie DeBartolo","tags":["chest","hell","hurt","love","tear"],"id":113045,"author_id":"Tiffanie+DeBartolo"},{"text":"Some men’s chests are more buttlike than some women’s butts.","author":"Mokokoma Mokhonoana","tags":["aphorism","aphorisms","aphorist","aphorists","arse","arses","ass","asses","bench-press","bum","bums","butt","buttock","buttocks","butts","calf","calves","cheat-day","chest","chests","cut","diet","diet-plan","diet-plans","exercise","fit","fitness","funny","gym","hilarious","humor","humorous","humour","joke","jokes","leg","leg-day","legs","legs-day","lift","muscle","muscles","rear-end","satire","shut-up-and-squat","squat","squats","tone","toned","weight","weights","workout"],"id":114185,"author_id":"Mokokoma+Mokhonoana"},{"text":"This is an ode to life.The anthem of the world.For as there are billionsof different stars thatmake up the skyso, too, are there billions of different humans thatmake up the Earth.Some shine brighter but all are made ofthe same cosmic dust.O the joy of beingin life with all these people!I speak of differencesbecause they are there.Like the different organsthat make up our bodies.Earth, itself, is one large body.Listen to how it howlswhen one human isin misery.When one kills another, the Earth feels the pang in itschest. When one orgasms, the Earth craves a cigarette.Look carefully,these animals are beauty spots that make the Earth’s face lovelier and more loveable.These oceans are the Earth’s limpid eyes. These trees, its hair.This is an ode to life.The anthem of the world.I will no longer speak of differences, for the similaritiesare larger. Look even closer. There may bedistances between our limbs butthere are no spaces betweenour hearts. We long to be one.We long to be in nature andto run wild with its wildlife.Let us celebrate life and living, for it is sacrilegious to be ungrateful.Let us play and be playful, for it is sacrilegiousto be serious.Let us celebrate imperfectionsand make existenceproud of us, for tomorrow isdeath, and this is an ode to life.
