Insanity is a broad term that used to be used by psychologists to deem anyone who wasn't in their full mental capacity as unfit to be in public. As the profession became more accepted, a simple diagnosis saying someone was insane wasn't enough. More specific categories needed to be created, exact mental diseases named, but the word insane still ( Read more... )

Women can be truely insane more often than not. I think we can both agree on that one. As for the rest. Of course you're crazy but there is always someone more insane than you are. She's out there. Lurking in the shadows and waiting to pounce. Like me with my snowballs full of ice waiting for you.

Here, here and especially around the holiday's it seems. Thank God that is over with for another year. I think we just tend to look at everyone and think they have some level of insanity about them and we're just trying to find the person that is complimentary to our own.

See this is why I will not have a snowball fight with Alexa. When she wants to know why I am a grouch and a spoil sport about it, I want you to tell her how you made me too paranoid to play.

This comment is probably all over the place, because I'm reading. I like it, it's like looking at a scrapbook. For a feud with Brandon Flowers you should have worn a red leather suit. Although I almost typed a Freud with Brandon Flowers. Analyse that, Vassar Maul.

What is it that's so appealing about craziness? I've only known crazy men, but then we both knew I was going to stick up for the double-xes. I've known mental women, but genuinely crazy men. After a while though I do believe that crazy wears everything too thin to maintain.

I think the video for Time Won't Let Me Go is brilliant. In fact you've just reminded me how much I like that song so you're not allowed to complain when it features on my New York mix, nor will I skip it.

Sanity's subjective, everyone's crazy, etc.etc.etc. all of those lines. I'm very glad you're still around. This is the end of my essay. Love, Alexa xx

I would have been pretty dashing in a red leather jumpsuit but instead I just chose to ignore him to the best of my ability since arguing with him was like picking on the mentally handicapped.

We are creatures of stress. Before we created modern day conveniences, our stress was derived from simply trying to survive. Soon it turned into competition with one another and it's developed to a point in society today where even wealth isn't that much of a statement. Instead we find ways to amuse one another through seemingly insane methods that are really just social actions meant to gain attention and compete.

I do love that video and how it came out. I didn't know when our card builder entered the shoot that we'd make him the main character but his look was absolutely perfect. Don't skip it, it's one of my favorites as well.

Sanity is subjective, unless you are Britney Spears, then you are just bi-polar. Thank you for reading and writing, Xio. A+ Professor Vassar Maul.

I THINK YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN. You and Mick Jagger. Oh yes. And I'm storing that for my next comeback. I like your mean side, Endicott.

Then there are the people who are just nuts. Who can't help it. And in an odd way that lack of self-awareness is so attractive too.

Good, then I won't. I just have a thing for cards.

Wow, A+ Professor? There I was hoping I'd have to have extra tuition.

Well if I am going to get compared to someone I guess Mick is alright. Maybe not the most handsome man but a hell of an entertainer. What mean side?

The weather has warmed up. We should take a little stroll around Brooklyn. I'll give you extra credit.

hm. i think i'm speaking on behalf of the nice girls society, for which i'm the honorary president. we're sort of the anti-crazy girls.

i don't think things work on a balance of crazy, and if you spend all your time working out who's crazier, who's less crazy, you're only going to drive yourself mental.

No I don't really mean it so literally. I guess I am just saying that sanity is over rated and saying someone is insane or not is useless, we're all a little crazy but some more than other's and eventually you'll find your complimentary mate.

I believe we all have a level of insanity in us and yet we're all looking for a sane rock to hold on to sometimes even when that rock appears to be more insane than we are. But have you met an interesting sane person yet?

I hope you'll be around for another couple of years as I always enjoy your updates. Crazy or not.

Some of the dullest people I have ever met were people that weren't sane but acting it out of fear of public retribution. Somehow, instead of displaying personality, their personality was shit.

Thanks man, I appreciate that. I am sure I will be due for another quirky view on life that 2% of the population agrees with shortly, hah.

I don't really believe anyone is fit to be in public. Let alone mentally sound enough to enter or influence someone else's world. At least we got some good tunes out of her.

More often than not that is absolutely true but here, here for Victorian principles of what is right and wrong. Sometimes I think I date for the music's sake.

I can't agree more. More often than not, I do everything for the Music's sake. That includes breathing.
