from loch Wednesday, April 13, 2005 - 08:06 (Agree/Disagree?) Just found this. Can't believe I didn't see it before. Amazing expression of unrequited love! I have read stuff on the subject before, but most people are afraid to put themselfs out there like you did, afraid to seem like the "looser" in the situation. so full of emotion, it's freaking great!

From loch Wednesday, April 13, 2005, 11:37 (Agree/Disagree?) you tell me uncle correction!(reply to this comment)

From author of poem Wednesday, April 13, 2005, 08:34 (Agree/Disagree?) Thanks for the compliment! I appreciate it.(reply to this comment)

from Nina Tuesday, April 12, 2005 - 22:52 (Agree/Disagree?) just how I feel. Seems like a lot of ex fam kids also have a deep suspicsion of "love". I guess we know how twisted around a person can get in the persuit of the feelings of "love". I don't know alot of "normal" people that see love as a means to control or be controlled. Scary thing, love me no likee (reply to this comment)

from Anthony Thursday, June 03, 2004 - 11:18 (Agree/Disagree?) Do you hate love and love hate? (reply to this comment)

from heywood jablome Tuesday, May 25, 2004 - 06:32 (Agree/Disagree?) zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......wha who.... Oh.............zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (reply to this comment)

from Dani Tuesday, May 25, 2004 - 05:40 (Agree/Disagree?) Leave the abusive bastard. (reply to this comment)

from Joe H Monday, May 24, 2004 - 11:30 (Agree/Disagree?) What this piece lacks in technique, it makes up for in sheer emotional honesty. So many girl "poets" try to sound clever by using big words that they don't know the meanings of, or they follow lousy abstract metaphors to their bizarre conclusions, dragging you through the muck of their convoluted thought processes with them. Girls, take an example from this piece! (reply to this comment)

From Vicky Wednesday, June 02, 2004, 14:35 (Agree/Disagree?) For what it's worth, Joe, I totally agree with you! -- At least when it comes to my own pitiful attempts at poetry! There are few things I despise more (when it comes to creative expression at least) than my own hugely disappointing contributions to the world of poetry and prose; It doesn't matter what I'm trying to say, if I get the idea to convert it into a poem it inevitably ends up as absolute rubbish! Drives me mad!!! (reply to this comment)

From Dani Wednesday, June 02, 2004, 16:15 (Agree/Disagree?) I'm sure Jo with an E knows the feeling, you should read some of his stuff. (reply to this comment)

From Elle Wednesday, May 26, 2004, 11:45 (Agree/Disagree?) Joe, you've already posted a comment on this poem. What, did it take you two years to come up with something more than "So true"? Seems like a step out of character to me.(reply to this comment)

From Joe H Thursday, June 03, 2004, 10:35 (Agree/Disagree?) There's just no pleasing you bitches, is there? If I'm an asshole, you hate me. If I'm nice, you call it a step out of character. Guess I'm not the only one who's sexually frustrated!(reply to this comment)

From Ty Erdovjo Tuesday, June 08, 2004, 14:19 (Agree/Disagree?) Dear Joe! I can't believe you finally started making progress, son! Admitting your greatest fear is the first step towards improvement and I must say we are all very proud of you here at the GJIT center! Do not worry if you're the only one who's sexually frustrated - it might pass once you reach a state of ordinary decency and don't forget that this is not about them, it's about you. (Don't lose focus Joe or you'll never recover!) The next step for you now is to THINK through your comments before you post them. I know this will be a huge challenge for you, but hang on in there and take little baby steps as you go. One goal and a time Joe and remember, we're all here to help you son! Finally, to all you devoted Gjitters out there, try to set your resentment aside for a while because if the theory of evolution is ever going to be proven, this guy has to advance from the primate stage and in order for him to do that, he needs all the help and encouragement he can get!

From Elle to Macho Man Monday, June 07, 2004, 15:11 (Agree/Disagree?) Can't take being teased, can you? Wouldn't have thought so about you, Joe! For a moment you had be believing you really had some distance to this Joe's-gotta-be-witty-all-the-time thing. So In true Bridget Jones style: Number of Joe's step out of character today: 1 Number of Joe's step out of character this year: 2 Number of nice comments ever posted by Joe: ___ (please feel free to comment) Number of rude or intimidating comments posted by Joe: More than Bridget can count(reply to this comment)

From Anthony Friday, June 04, 2004, 14:19 (Agree/Disagree?) Poor Joe, not getting bitch-silly, are we?(reply to this comment)

From Your funny Thursday, June 03, 2004, 11:30 (Agree/Disagree?) We don't hate you Joe with an H. You should learn how to take a compliment! And it's Bitch-ahhsssss!! (reply to this comment)

From the woman next door Monday, June 07, 2004, 15:34 (Agree/Disagree?) Could you teach him how to GIVE a compliment while you're at it?(reply to this comment)

From Speak for yourself Thursday, June 03, 2004, 16:38 (Agree/Disagree?) You’re right we don’t hate Jo; we would have to have some emotion towards him to hate him. For myself I have never met the guy, but don’t buy the ‘I have a good heart, and am a really not an ass’ line, speaking of lines I think Jo done quite a few lines before he posts things on this site.

From frmrjoyish Thursday, May 27, 2004, 14:13 (Agree/Disagree?) Ouch!! Our little Elle is gettin' punchy!! lol (reply to this comment)

From Dani Tuesday, May 25, 2004, 05:23 (Agree/Disagree?) Joe please be gay It’s better that way Do us girls a favour and stay away Oh Joe please be gay (happy now)(reply to this comment)

From xolox Wednesday, April 13, 2005, 11:15 (Agree/Disagree?) So fucking funny! No offence joe.(reply to this comment)

From nobody Tuesday, May 25, 2004, 03:13 (Agree/Disagree?) Translation of condescending and arrogant remarks made by Jo with an E ‘Please don’t write anymore poems about me, you really hurt my feeling too much me to show any hurt or anger, the last time around’. (reply to this comment)

From banal_commentator Wednesday, May 26, 2004, 10:56 (Agree/Disagree?) Let's all remember to call JoeH "Jow" (reply to this comment)

From Joe H Tuesday, May 25, 2004, 16:41 (Agree/Disagree?) What the devil are you and Dani talking about? God, I can't even compliment someone's writing without all you freaks coming out of the woodwork! (reply to this comment)

From Why Jo with an E never gets a second date Wednesday, May 26, 2004, 02:02 (Agree/Disagree?) A compliment usually refers to a remark (or act) expressing praise and admiration. Not a full blown critique for all the GIRLS. (reply to this comment)

From Joe H Wednesday, May 26, 2004, 12:33 (Agree/Disagree?) Oh ok, I get it now. This reminds me of a friend of mine who once stood in the center of a room at a party and said "The trouble with women is that they take everything too personally" Four women immediately replied "Well I don't!" Also, would someone please explain to me why "Jo with an E" is supposed to be funny? (reply to this comment)

From xolox Wednesday, April 13, 2005, 11:17 (Agree/Disagree?) That's priceless. You sure it was only four?(reply to this comment)

From Jo's friends also can't get a second date Thursday, May 27, 2004, 02:30 (Agree/Disagree?) As in Anne Green Gables, Ann with an E. (reply to this comment)

From sarafina Thursday, May 27, 2004, 13:17 (Agree/Disagree?) Ahhh! Now it all makes scense I was wondering also. That IS pretty funny.Hahahahaha!(reply to this comment)

from Baxter Sunday, May 23, 2004 - 14:41 (Agree/Disagree?) The problem with love is not whether it can be defined, but that we associate so many delusions and pointless fantastic assertions to it. Love is merely a misinterpreted combination of less romantic aspects. Man has developed and propagated a myth that love will conquer all, and he has maintained it for generations. Those of us left to live with the legacy of this myth now live with the disappointment. (reply to this comment)

From love is a mental dependancy Wednesday, April 13, 2005, 11:24 (Agree/Disagree?) And like the ultimate drug addiction that it is, it can cause severe lack of judgement. Love should come with a warning printed on the wrapper: "Do not operate mental machinery, or otherwise drive your life while under the influence of Love. Do not take Love if your pregnant or expect to be soon. Love should never be taken with alchohol. In case of accidental ingestion, shoot yourself in the head."(reply to this comment)

from Wiggles Wednesday, December 11, 2002 - 12:00 (Agree/Disagree?) ?:¬\ ....ouch! (reply to this comment)

from Someone Wednesday, December 11, 2002 - 10:51 (Agree/Disagree?) If we didn't have love, live would be a lot better for me right now. But in the end, thats really what we live for. Love has good and bad times. Although there is a time to stop ands say enough. It's just not worth the pain with you... (reply to this comment)

from JoeH Tuesday, December 10, 2002 - 19:11 (Agree/Disagree?) so true! (reply to this comment)
