Pigmartyr
Holy Crap! Is there anywhere in the entire North American continent that distributes the new Watts cd Pigmartyr? I've called more than a few music stores that are run by people that maybe are kinda into Pig or KMFDM or whatever and all of them have given me the "I have no fucking idea what you are talking about" response. |

If anyone was fortunate enough to catch it, the moon looked really very cool last night as it ascended through Denver's exteme amount of Winter pollution. I guess there is a sad irony there. /shrug I once took a trip across the USA by car and photographed every oil refinery I came across. They were all beautiful in a perverse way. |

Prompted from a pair of articles in a local Denver paper I had an internal disertation about self esteem. In these two editorials the woman was concerned that her boyfriend had been the victim of racism by a paramedic as he rode along with her on an emegency visit to the hospital. The paramedic apparently asked the boyfriend who was of some Latin origin if he had a knife. Her first editorial had a thrust about how unfair it was that he would have been singled out like that. Her second editorial was an appology to that paramedic after she had done more research and found that it was a common question for paramedics to ask ride-along passengers if they have weapons because it can be a common occurance for those passengers to freak out if they think their loved one is being harmed. So... What I started concidering really had little to do with racism in America or in the world. It had much more to do with how any individual might take words from another person to heart. One of the oldest lessons I can remember being taught in school or by anyone for that matter is the idea that words are just words (you know the deal here..."sticks and stones"). I then factored another recent article that I read about the nature of a "flame" on an online forum (being flamed on a webboard if you will). This article said that to a person who conciders themselves part of an online community, that being flamed is psychologically as traumatic as being physically assaulted (on the receiving end of a beatdown y0!). So, apparently to some people anyway, words can hurt and in a severe fashion depending upon the circustances. But Why? I started to think about my own life and that usually if someone has some unnecessary and unfair criticism of me I usually just immediately think that that person is fucked and not really worth my time. And so I come to my conclussion here that words can only hurt a person if that person lets the words hurt (yeah yeah...this lesson is painfully obvious but lost on soooooo many people). A person that is being verbally abusive is really only putting you in a possition to defeat yourself with your own self-loathing. And so... the end result of my thoughts were the importance of self esteem. There is no reason for you to hate yourself because you fucking rock. Anyone that thinks otherwise is likely fucked. I was reminded of the dopey Christian saying about having the the nuts to accept who you are and the sphincter to change the shit that you can and whatever. This all seems to come down to self esteem. If you like yourself so many other things fall into place. So uh yeah...fuck em. Current Mood: contemplative |

of course all answers are subject to all internal and external stimuli and would change next time around. This is likely true of most people.  Green Dragon Who is your dragon spirit guide? brought to you by Quizilla |
