Good music, lousy knowledge timing

Mar 06, 2008 20:21

Wherein I tell a tale of yesterday's concert experience, via some really awful blank verse.

( Don't say I didn't warn you - it's really bad poetry. )

creativity, gigs!, pure unadulterated fear, depression, craptastic, music, entertainment, the flagstone path, knowledge

"My wrists will not listen to reason.
They won't accept bribes.
They have no mercy. No empathy. No sense of proportion.
They do, however, take prisoners."

Perfect description of Carpal Tunnel! Argh, the pain is different than the FMS/arthritis pain I have had for 14 yrs - it wears me down so fast. Certainly a lesson in humility for me.

Glad the music was good and enjoyable despite the pain stuff.

It's amazing just how much we assume that our bodies will do things when *we* want them to do it... and how helpless we can feel when our bodies decide to not do something.

Hmmm... reminds me of Clive Barker's short story "The Body Politic".

My mind rebelled at an early age; my body waited to see how that worked out before joining the revolution. ;-P

i vaguely remember the barker story, need to see if i find it.
and i had only a few yrs in my mid 30's where the mind and body were both healthy and working well. w/ the carpal tunnel i learned that after 14 yrs of disability i can still be surprised.

38 and bleeding half to death each mth, surgery done while not in good health from severe anemia - add in a 4 yr old and no help from M or his family b/c i had "only" had a vaginal hysterectomy...
yeah, i still feel bitter at times.

Well, at least now you can answer for us that terrible conundrum: what IS the sound of one hand clapping?

I can indeed. But I won't.

I prefer to experiment with new forms of applause: clapping like a seal, stamping (but only if I'm wearing my orthopedic shoes and inserts), or maybe even yelling "clap! clap! clap!"

Hey, maybe I'll get myself a t-shirt that proudly says "now 100% clap free!"
Uhm, perhaps not. People might get the wrong idea.
