"All in all, he was a fairly attractive young adult. Unfortunately the same could not be said about his partner even though Tom was sure he was in love with her. It would be unfair to lovers to say Tom was in love, it would unfair to Tom for lovers to say he was not in love. There has never been a universal agreement on the definition of love which creates a lot of wiggle room for lust and desperation. Much like UFOs, The Loch Ness Monster, and the sober novelist, even the existance of love remains debatable despite numerous testimonials. While countless long haired singers of rock ballads garrunttee us of the deeper affections in life, Tom had not yet experienced much of life and so while for some it may be more than a feeling, love was exactly that for Tom. Specifically, the feeling of an erection. Like many other men he could measure how in love he was with lengthes and inches. "
"Some of us may want to go back to the sex scene referenced earlier. You may feel that it was too fast and fleeting, surely I missed something, it was over before it began, that you barely experienced anything at all,you felt almost nothing, and you may want to ask me, “Was that it?” If so, consider how his partner felt. If you do feel such a lack of fullfillment you have gained a level of empathy with his counterpart rarely seen in fiction and too often seen in reality. The form of my description matches the flaw of Tom's performance. Namely, in its brevity. "
"Tom respected the man like an american republican respects ideals: he didn't allow his incomprehension interfere with his obediance."
"St. Peter could be found crucified upside down, all manner of gore dripping. Saint Valentine was in a roman colaseum was being eternally ripped a part to feed hungry lions. After centuries Saint Lucy was still being stabbed in the throat; Joan of Arc was portrayed in flames; Saint Flourian, severly flogged eternally fell into the river with the rock tied to his thorat, and Saint Laurence remained lashed to a grideon being forever roasted alive. Overall, the impression one was left with was that Jesus got off easy in comparison."
