Why can't we not think about the things we feel and say?

The sad truth about the idiocy of human beings

Every now and then, a person just needs to scream
To let their words pour out of them without restraint

We are taught not to do this

We are taught to think before we act

To think before we speak

To bottle up the true thoughts and words that flow endlessly thorough our mind, but may never come out ( Read more... )

oh... and this, consider the alternative...what if we did just exactly what it is we most wanted to do, fuck the consequences......

in my opinion what if is more painfull that to try and not succeed, in the long run anyway.

pm_trombley April 16 2006, 05:44:38 UTC

still better to know. Pain is better than regret, and the realistic posibility that you may have thrown away the best thing to potentially happen to you

This is why you have best friends, friends till the end, friends who see you as a person and realize that to have emotions, to have fear is to be incredibly human. They are the rarest of best friends and the hardest to find.

One of my favorite quotes is from some silly TV movie I watched in high school but it holds true - "The things I regret most in life are the things I never did". Even if you fail or things go wonky, you know you tried, you know that you were there for it. Some of the most miraculous events have come out of defeat and failure.

Perfection is myth. Enjoy the ride.

Would you rather arrive in the afterlife in a nicely preserved body, with little to show for it or would you rather arriving sliding in by a hair yelling "WHOOOOOOOO!" at the top of your lungs knowing you enjoyed every second of life? In the end, your life is yours - no one else's to judge and your happiness is key.

Enough philosophy - it's St. Patty's Day! DRINK! :)

Sometimes I wonder what happened to you to cause you to make posts like this one. This one seemed a bit angry. Did something set you off?

a little late on the response... pm_trombley April 16 2006, 05:43:09 UTC

but it would be a combination of work/boss, dumb girls, and that fucking game (or the people who "run" it)

It's all stuff there, but yeah, there's usually a trigger. Sometimes I just decide to be creative in a loud way. This would be a catalyzed post

Part of this touches on something that I have thought for quite some time: We need a masculinst movement in our culture. I mean, we've got feminism and that's great and women have a lot in the of opportunity to do something or act in both typically feminine or masculine ways but men, largely, are still supposed to be "manly". I mean, I just spent 16 hours at a postpartum doula workshop and in the section that was supposed to cover supporting the father (believe me, the whole THING was about supporting the mother) I thought was simply a preface to the section until I realized it was already over. A doula is suppossed to support the FAMILY and we hardly even spoke about the emotional needs of a man after the birth of a child. I think we talked more about the emotional needs of the grandma! Fucked up if you ask me.
I personally think that men are stronger when they show their emotions that when they hide them.
