It’s only a Paper Moon

If there is one expression I really can’t stand, it’s when people say, “I love you to the moon and back.” I apologize if that’s something that you say to your loved ones. I don’t mean to offend. It just bothers me. “Cry me a river” is another expression I can’t stand and I hated that Justin Timberlake song that says it over and over again. Great. Now that song is stuck in my head. Just great. 

I don’t know why but certain expressions just bother me. They actually bother me. It’s like when you have a tag on your shirt and it keeps poking you in the neck. Or if your hands are full but something, somewhere is making noise as you walk (probably your keys) but you can’t do anything about it because you have stuff in your hands but it just keeps making the noise and you feel like you’re going insane. That’s how the expression, “I love you to the moon and back” makes me feel.

I don’t know why. It just does. Every time I hear it, I think to myself, “That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.” And it is. 

It just seems to me that If you’re going to involve the whole galaxy then the moon is a pretty short distance. You know what I’m saying? I would be like, “Thats all that you love me? To the fucking moon and back? You can’t even love me to the Sun, one way trip? You don’t love me all the way to Mars? Do I even mean anything to you?”

Where did that expression even come from? I never heard it before and now it’s something people say all the time. Is this some Harry Potter bullshit? Cause I decided not to pay any attention to those movies and it has really left me out-of-the-know  way too often. Which is another thing that makes me sad for the fate of the world. 

(It makes me sad to the gas station and back, if you were wondering how sad it made me.)

Also people think they are so cute when they say that. The way a child can be cute. Guess what, everyone? It’s cute when kids say dumb shit because they are supposed to be dumb. There is a good chance that they will eventually get smarter. As an adult, you should quit intentionally saying dumb things. It isn’t cute. You’re not cute. Shit like that is why you got passed up for that promotion last year. Apparently your boss doesn’t “love to the moon and back,” people who talk like children but are not, in fact, children. 

Thats all. I’m cranky today. I probably need some chocolate or something. Sorry. 

 Bye.
