What does it mean, 'Shoot the moon'? Well, say you find woman you can't get enough of. You want her so bad you can't eat, can't sleep. Now you know this is a woman who's going to keep your bed warm on cold nights, make you sweet pepper soup when you are sick. She's going to believe you even when you are lying. Hell, she is the only person in the world who's going to know what you wanted that you never got, and what you got that you never wanted.
But you know for certain there's going to be times when this woman's going make you miserable. She will certainly complain if you forget your anniversary. She's going to want you to watch some crying movie on TV when there's a football game you want to see. She'll expect you to skip your poker game and keep her company when she's feeling blue. In other words, she's gonna be a pain in the ass some of the time.
So, you have to make a decision. What are you going to do? Walk away from her? Or go for it all. Give her up? Or shoot the moon.
