That first one is a bit sappy, dude. And be more specific about love. You
probably love pizza. Did you not know that until you swapped spit with some
chick?

I felt sappy - and I did want it to be very ambiguous. That way I can use that
statement whenever I want:

I never knew love, until I ate a jelly
doughnut.
I never knew love, until I saw the sun set over El Capitan.
I never knew love, until I drank beer.

See, I can use my nice
sentence and interject any meaning to it. It is highly replaceable.
Specificity has its merits - but so does something that is interchangeable.
Anyway, who cares if I am sappy, dude. Can't I be both sensitive and a full-
blooded man at the same time? Or has the idea of a well-rounded man fallen by
the wayside as much as the "Man of the Ninties."

homo.
