Torpedo

Hello! I am Eldon. And I am a Torpedo.

What exactly is a torpedo?

To many people around the world, it is an ammunition launched as a form of defense, normally from a naval vessel of underwater orientation (think submarine). However, that is not what I am.

To some people in our country, torpedo is someone who wants to express something to a special someone but could not. One who wishes to profess love and admiration, but doesn't have the balls to do so. One who would like to get hitched but is afraid to approach the hitchee. It comes from the local word torpe, which means just what I explained a while ago.

I am Eldon, and I am a torpedo.

For many years, I have tried to approach women. Sometimes, I would be able to muster enough courage to do so. But oftentimes, I fail. I never got the chance to tell a lot of these chicks how I truly feel about them, or how much I wanted them to be a part of my life.

I am Eldon. I don't want to be a torpedo anymore. I want to free myself from the bondage of the Lonely Hearts Club. I want to form part of a team to be able to join in the Amazing Race. I want to be a Colin to a Christie or a Brandon to a Nicole, or a Zach to a Flo. I WANT TO GET INTO A FORMAL RELATIONSHIP! AND I WANT IT NOW!

I am Eldon. Anyone free for drinks tonight? Pick you up at 8.
