Have you been inspired?

A few weeks ago I was talking to a friend of mine who told me that he was feeling pressured to modify is behavior. In particular, his use of profanity was called into question. He went on to tell me that his superiors consider particular words and phrases to be offensive.

So, he was asked, and then ordered, to suppress his usage of the following words: fuck, motherfucker, cocksucker, cunt, prick, bastard, jackass, asshole, shit, damn, fuck-head, and ass-fuck, and phrases such as: shut the fuck up fuck-wit, fuck you, motherfucking ass licking jerk off, ass wipe fuck puppet, shit for brains, no good motherfucking son-of-a-bitch cocksucker.

He tried to plead his case to his superiors. My friend expressed his concern to them that without such words and phrases his intentions would be misinterpreted. He explained that he would be hard pressed to find alternative ways to express himself. The integrity of his emotions and his true feelings could not be completely or properly expressed without such words and phrases.

He refused restraint.

His superiors told him “Tough shit.” And that is why he called me. So I gave him this piece of advice, I told him “Why the fuck do you care what they fucking think? If they find what you say to be offensive tell them to fucking ignore you.”

My friend quietly contemplated my advice and then said “Fuck yeah, that’s what I’m gonna do.”

He has since lost his job, but he sure is a happy little motherfucker!



p.s. I agree repetition may be in order.

Mayo,

Dude, my day at work sucked ass shit! How's that for changing things up a bit? I totally fooled you with that opening. Uh huh, I know. Now, I'll ask you how your day went. I hope yours didn't suck ass or ass shit or just suck.

The last couple of days have been so draining. Do you ever feel that way? I swear they try their hardest to drain me of my blood, guts, love, goodness, compassion...just everything. They are like little vampire vulture leeches...except without the living forever, keeping the earth clean, and healing powers part. They are feeding off me and bleeding me dry. Oh well, oh well, oh well......that's what sleep, good friends, family, music, food, and hot baths are for, right? To replenish and recharge so that I can start over again tomorrow.

I think you know exactly where I am coming from.......in case you don't it's a little place called crazytown and you can only get there by going off the beaten path and taking the crazy train.

See you at the next stop!

Yeah, I'm talking out of my sleepy head voice.

Love to YOU Always,
S

p.s. All Aboard!

Mayonaise;

How are you my dear friend? Me? I'm tired. Life is pretty great right now, I'm trying my hardest not to jinx myself. For once in my entire life, I can't think of anything to say. Hmm..

As I was sitting in my room earlier, strumming my guitar (I've gotten skilled enough to do that without sounding like a dying animal) I kept thinking of how what everyone says is right. If you just stay positive, and stay in control, your life with steadily go back on track. My marks are improving, because I'm trying my hardest, I'm more happy, because I'm blocking out the bad in my life. I'm not worrying about anything; I've decided to take life as it comes.

It's such a sigh of relief to feel this way. To feel in control, to feel like everything is good. Obviously, it won't be this way forever, but I'm just enjoying what I have right now.

Basically, I'm just babbling about stuff that doesn't matter, just so that I have something to say. ^_^

That felt great. Sometimes, I like just talking. People say I only talk to hear my own voice. Haha. But I personally like talking to feel a connection with the world. =]

Anyways, I'm ouuuut.
Bye Mayonaise. Stay happy. Stay healthy.

SS, I miss youu! Same goes to you, my dear.

Love, with all my heart;

Before I go to bed, I wanted to post a bunch of purty, funny, or otherwise cool pics that I took last weekend.

The album of sixteen photographs is here but there are some specific ones I want to share.

For instance, this is about half of what came out of my friend's dog during surgery last week. We had some time to go through it before lunch and we found: socks, pieces of plastic, a wrapper, about a quart of grass, and a bird's nest. CRAZY.

Here is a cute spider that was in my sunroom. It's a little blurry 'cause he was scurrying.

PEENFLOWER. I don't know what it's called, but doesn't it look like a little yellow penis with a cape? SUPERPEEEEEN!

This is where three trees meet and tangle in the field behind the hospital where I work.

This is my Boychild on his birthday, with a binky in his little face. AWW.

There are tons of photos of icicles in the sun, because I'm a little obsessed with that sort of thing. You know, that moment when the light breaks through. I'm like a magpie, like my Mom too: sparklies do it for me.

Mayo, I always have a photograph for you too, you know this. I don't know if you liked the eclipse one I gave you or not or if you'll like this one, but it is for you. Mayo, I picked this one for you this time. Hope you like it.

Well, goodnight, BlogBelieve! See you on the flipside, where I will be posting and double posting like a moron. ^_^

Anonymous said...

Gosh, one more thing.

I talk a lot about my cousin and god(dess)daughter whom I call Jo-chan. This is one of my favorite pics of her from last year. I took that while she was peeking through a broken window in a florist we visit a lot. Anyway, she's fifteen and this fantastic, snarky, cynical, totally punk rock awesome writer of a girl. She can't relate to most people her age, because she's at once both too old for them and far too young. She's a young fifteen, but smarter than most.

Her brother, SB, is this outlandishly amazing boy. Just smart and beautiful and beloved by everyone who meets him. he pulled straight A's all his life and he's in college now doing the same thing.

It was weird, I accidentally summed them both up the other week while shopping for gifts for Boychild. I said, "Even as a little kid, SB was always way ahead of the game. Jo-chan never wanted to be a part of the game in the first place."

Sorry for rambling. These are the greatest kids I've ever met. ^_^

Anima, the first show is on April 17th and the second one is April 18th, which is a Friday. Tickets won't go on sale until this Saturday.

anima said...

I think the show in KC is the middle of April. I should check that out!

I could probably hit the Chicago shows, but I think I'm pushing it a bit, going to two already. I've never been so this is really exciting for me. I feel like strange. Not sure why!

What part of Chicago do you live in? That is a silly question. Sorry. I mean are you outside the city or in the mix?

elena said...

Mayo,

Something strange happened today. Well for me something strange happening isn’t really out of the norm. Weird shit happens to me a lot. I guess what I should have said was something VERY strange happened today. So did the adverb really help? That was an adverb, right? I dunno. Anyway, I was driving home from work. I’ve made this trip thousands of times. Pretty sure I could drive it with my eyes closed. Well, half way home I suddenly get this memory. I flashed back to when I was about seven or eight years old. You see there was an older couple that lived across the street. They were both very sweet people and I spent many hours with them during the summer. Even though they were both in their 70’s at the time they still tended beautiful gardens. His garden of choice was vegetables while hers was flowers. I loved to help them garden during the summer. Behind their huge old farmhouse was a potting shed. Here is where they kept all their gardening tools. Often I walked inside this long stone building in search of a hoe or shovel. To be honest when the summertime temperatures hit the 90’s I would think of an excuse to go there just because it was much cooler and I could escape the blistering heat. The shed was always dark even on the sunniest of days. It has an earthen floor and only one small window. I would slip off my shoes to feel the cool, soft earth beneath my feet. Spiders spun intricate webs across the doorway and in corners. Inevitably I would walk through their artwork. Of course then you get that whole creepy feeling that there are spiders crawling on you. Still I didn’t mind. I found something about this old building very welcoming.

Okay to the point. I’m driving home and suddenly I was there in that potting shed. The memory came out of nowhere. I didn’t see anything that should have reminded me of it, I didn’t smell anything that would have cause it. But still in my mind I could see it as clearly as if I had been there yesterday. So no, not gonna mention how many years that’s been but you get my drift. I’m confused, well more confused than normal. Why did this memory suddenly appear? Should I be concerned? Do I spend too much time worrying about this shit? Okay I know the answer to that one. Hell yeah I do. Probably the most important question is why did I just tell you this? Okay I got that one too. Cause Mayo I really didn’t have anyone else to share it with who would listen. Leap of faith here. You are listening, right? It’s okay even if you’re not. I’ll just pretend you listened and pondered if just for a moment. And for a moment someone else shared that memory with me.

Night Mayo

Goodnight Elena. Sweet dreams. Anima,
with two shows I'm going to, this will be my 7th time seeing them, but to answer your question, I live outside of the city.

I absolutely love it though. I'm hoping to go to school in downtown soon.

anima said...

BC, I love the city. I hope you make it there. Your 7th show?!

The only towns outside of Chicago I know of are Elgin and Homewood.

I wish I had one to my credit...but it just hasn't worked out that way.

I must retire now.

Goodnight everyone. Night Mayo. I hope you are feeling happy. That is all I want for you. To be happy and content.

The Mayo Gothic continues

The Direful Secret of Castle Mayo
by
Elena and Toujours


chapter 24:

He shook his head sadly, “And for that Arabella I am truly sorry.”

for a very long moment, arabella sat silently in lord mayo's dark chamber. his heavy apology rang in her ears, but she ignored it, for she was wholly focussed within.
there, in her own heart, she could feel the truth of his regret for his actions, making his unnecessary apology redundant as well.

behind his regret she could sense also the fear he carried, that the lives of all his lovelies might be made forfeit because of his need. she was astonished to realize this need shamed him.

and behind it all, the grounding note to all the new emotions she now felt on his behalf, was a terrible longing to be free. not just free of the castle, but truly free. arabella reached in order to understand this longing, and gasped.

she looked into the darkness of the room, in the direction where she knew mayo sat. she could barely discern the outline of his form. the room was utterly silent, and arabella suddenly understood why.

though she held her own, and sat as still as possible, her straining ears could not hear him breathing.

"you cannot die..." she whispered.

"nor can i live."

tears welled in her eyes, and her hands clenched on the book in her lap.

"lord mayo..."

"you should go, arabella."

startled into aquiesence, she stood and moved to the cabinet, but paused with her hand on the door.

"lord mayo," she said, facing him and trying to pour all her assurance into the newly-forged link between them. "we will free you. we will open the cage in which you have trapped. i swear it."

she stood there for a single heartbeat longer, then turned and re-entered the wardrobe, closing the door securely behind her, with the bitter knowledge that only she could open it again.

though arabella was still very weak from all the night's activities, she crossed the cellar and made her way to the main hall with determination. it was time to share with her sisters the story of lord mayo's dreadful past, and the wrong that only they could make right.

i should say, instead, that i almost never know who he's talking to. sometimes it's very clear, of course.

He does seem a very complex being, not that there's anything wrong with that.

toujours said...

mayo,

do i really have the place to myself? wow. that hasn't happened for a long time. of course, in the time it will take me to write this comment, the morning crew will probably roll in. but right now, it's just me sitting here on the couch like old days, talking to your portrait over the fireplace. :)

you know, my one undeniable skill is the ability to really tie myself up in knots. i know just what to say to myself to twist that knife most effectively, and for maximum damage.

i know enough about myself to know that it will pass. i always think of the dark times as being stuck out in the middle of a hellish storm, no shelter in sight. but storms always blow over, you know?

and the circumstances of my life right now mean that storms are blowing in pretty damn frequently. still, i know, somehow, i'll get through it.

and even when i'm feeling good and strong, i can readily admit i'm a pretty silly woman. i let myself get carried away by my imagination all the time, and if i can idealize a situation, oh, you know i will. life just doesn't seem like it's fun until i can fit it all into my personal mythology.

i guess all this is to say, while i'm sitting here on your couch still dripping wet from the last drencher, somehow, throughout all the drama and anonslaughts and alleged watchers, this blog remains a safe space for me. when i'm in the midst of my weakness, i'm embarrassed by how much i lean on you and everyone here, and when i'm standing more solidly, i'm grateful.

thanks for making a place where i can be so messy. i wish i was more together, more my best self, but, well...

this is who i am.

i hope you have a place in your life beyond this blog where you can be your own messy self, too, mayo.

good night to you. best of dreams.

and everyone else take care and have a great day/night


Mayo

well I had a nice day, some good shopping and such.
I am really fortunate to have some great kids to tutor I have had much worse before.
They are really nice to help adn I can feel they really appreciate it. And we share the same taste in music (which seeing as we are decades apart is quite interesting!)
I hoep you have people in your life who may not be the same age range or lifestyle but none the less enrich it.
So a good day, not much to talk about but that's good I suppose. And if you;re wondering, or anyone, my leg is healing well, still not able to wear any of my great collection of cute mules but at least I can walk normally. So you gotta be thankful for that!

wishing faith hope love and interest, to you and yours
much love EP xx

and SS
hope you are well
lotsa love
EP xx

goodnight everyone, be good to your self and each other! (ooh a bit Jerry Springer there!)take care

Mayo,

Good Morning, how are you feeling today? I hope you are happy and well and ready to kick Thursday's ass all the way into Friday. Me? I'm okay. Just sleepy and beat down. I wish Georgia would pick a fucking season and stick with it. No wonder I cough all the time. Wintertime today....summertime tomorrow. WTF? Even the trees and flowers are confused.

I should be getting ready for work right now. Isn't that my purpose for getting up earlier than I have to? Why can't I stay motivated and on task? Ummmm, maybe because I'm not that excited to get there. I really am going to make an better effort to not let people get to me today. I think I need to change my tactics up a bit so this is what I am going to do. Every time I feel the tension in my neck and my teeth clench and I make a fist....I am going to close my eyes, breathe, and take myself on a happy little mind trip. I should probably be able to do that for about 5 seconds until the phone rings again or someone is in my face trying to ask me something. Maybe if I just sit there with my eyes closed today they will think that I am just pondering something really hard. Or.......

Maybe they will think I have lost my mind and leave me the fuck alone.

One can always hope, right?

Mayo, If today gets extra fucked up for you today, close your eyes and take a mind trip with me. Who knows we might just meet up at the same place........


Love to YOU Always,
S

p.s. Anywhere but here.

Hi Sdock! Guess it's just us, toodling off to work.

Hey Jules,

I hope we both have a good one today.

Close your eyes and meet me and Mayo on our mind trip today. It'll be so much fun!!

Hello all, just blasting through quickly this morning.

*yells hello back to Ergo across the ditch*

Lucy, I hope SS sees your note at 6:44pm and your follow up at 7:27pm. They were beautifully stated.

Elune, hi ya!

Elena, you could have been describing my grandparents with your recollection. It made me smile.

PJ and MP, good to read you around again.

*PP likes 616 very much but puts on a face mask to communicate with the ill one*

616, you're sick with a temperature and you still sound sunny!?!? Hope both you and Amy shake your bugs off soon.

FASC, Glad your day today is better than yesterday. In answer to your question, 3. I'll write later ^_^

Kapunua, eewww yuck at the dog's stomach contents. A bird's nest?What is the bet he will be back again with more of the same inside him.

Socky, we all saw your teetahs!

*snigger*

*lifts shirt and flashes back*

Night all

*runs off giggling*

Smoke said...

Good morning BlogBelieve! Hope you all have a lovely day! Smile!

Mayo,

You smile, too. And mean it. Not one of those fake smiles that I do a thousand times a day that really mean "Eat shit and die". No, a for real one. You never know who might be looking for that smile and you will make their day. Sounds good, right? ^_~

SS,

Dude, I don't have to tell you to smile, do I? Nope. You smile and you light up the place. You smile even when you don't feel like it. We miss you. Now, here's my smile for you. ^_^

Love you all! Mwah!

XOXO,
S&V20

Good Morning one and all

elune thank you for your kind words about the Gothic. I'm sorry I was not around to speak to you. Hope you stop in again.

TJ - wonderful chapter. Come on admit it - speaking for Lord Mayo is fun. You did an excellent job. I can't wait to work on my next chapter.

Ergo - thanks for thinking about my family. I hope they all get better soon too. Of course when they do then I'll get sick!

FASC - I'm glad you shared my memory too. Anything I share with Mayo I share with all of you.

BC - glad you liked TJ's chapter. She's very talented isn't she?

Wendy - hope you feel better soon! Take care of yourself.

Possum - glad my memory made you think of your grandparents. Hey, maybe the whole purpose of the memory was so I could tell it and give other people memory jolts!

Mayo - Hope your day is full of things what will someday be good memories.

SS - Thinking about you as always. Take care. By the way you have given me some wonderful memories I will always keep in my heart.

Well I will be out for the day. Heading to bookstores to hunt for treasures. I really do miss this place when I'm gone. See you all this evening.

Much love

Elena

I doubt you will be around to read this but just in case you are around (or come across this if you ever get round to back reading) I just want you to know that a lot of us miss you round these parts.

You once told us that even when you can't be here, you are always with us in spirit and although we do feel you, we miss your visits.

You have helped shape BlogBelieve whether you realise it or not. Your words have touched many of us. Faith, love and hope are more than just words to me now.

Your personality shines through whenever you are here, you are always recognised. You are kind, caring, thoughtful, hilariously funny and have shown us such wisdom and generosity with your gifts and your time. I love the way you turn up with your underwear on the outside and join in and goof around with us. Mustard's thong, Star Wars 'in your pants' and your FF2007 message springs to mind.

I know you've witnessed some ugly things here lately. Please try to ignore it and remember why you decided to stick around. You are the light that illuminates even the darkest corners of BlogBelieve. It's awfully dark without you but we love this place and we aren't going anywhere, we just miss your light. Most of all we miss your laughter, yes, we miss hearing your giggle echoing through these halls.

You said you think of us often, well, a lot of us think of you often as well. I miss you dude. I hope you are safe and surrounded by love.

Thank you will never be enough.

elena said...

Couple more things...

Anon who reposted Lucy's words - Thank you. You are so right, that needed to be posted again.

FASC - LKNA (hope you aren't mad at me)

Ergo - Got my shippment of UA so I will be sending your package soon. You'll love the last three issues!

Okay I really need to get going.

Have a great day or night people.

No One:

I question myself a lot. Not in the normal sense, but to mostly make sure. Do you really want to do this? Are you sure this is what you're supposed to do?

I was lost in my head one night. All of these thoughts came to me. What the hell are you doing? Seriously. This isn't you. Look at yourself. Is that happy I see on your face, or is that disgust?

It was disgust.

I wasn't happy, and I knew if I carried on the same way and continued down the same path because it would have been "beneficial and in my best interests," I was going to lose it.

It all changed in the blink of an eye. Everything turned around when I made the promise to myself that I would do what I wanted to do. I knew I could do it, and I would fight everyone tooth and nail to get there.

So, now I sit back and I look at the world around me. I wonder if this is what I'm supposed to be doing. I get uncertain at times, but small things happen, little words are said, and my spirit about all of this is renewed.

I'm always just one hook away from making this everything I want it to be. And to know that I will eventually be happier than every other soul that's out there doing what I used to want to do.

Or maybe not, but it sure feels like it.


Mayo:

Follow your dreams.

SS:

See Lucy.

So Mayo,

Now that you've driven away your ghost, do you miss her? Do you feel any regret at all in that heart buried beneath a few decades of hurt and lies?

I only sigh if your answer would be in the negative.

Magic Pie said...

Thank you Picked Possum. Nice to be back....even if only for a short while. I'll be in Windsor for the next few days and I don't know if I'll have the internet around.

Hi everyone *waves*

Thank you to the nice anon who reposted my note to SS.

To the anon at 12:08, I really don't see how my note expressing my gratitude to SS could be perceived as a guilt trip to make him come back. Think about it, he would have to be back already in order to read it.

Smoke said...

Hey Lucy Lu!

Just poppin' in for a sec. I loved your note to SS. ^_^

Mayo,

Come liven up my day. I dare you to talk to me. I promise I won't be all speedy like and ask a thousand questions in one breath. I don't even want to ask you anything. I'd rather you ask me something. Like how'd I get so fantabulous?

DUH!

I didn't just get this way. I was born fantabulous!

Just messin' with ya, Mayo-naze!!

See you all later!

Upcoming Alumni Events

GERARD WAY Q&A (BFA Cartooning, 1999)
Moderated by Joey Cavalieri
Thursday, March 6th, 7pm
The Amphitheater, 209 East 23rd Street, 3rd Floor
“Once, the Umbrella Academy was unstoppable. Under the tutelage of their guardian and mentor, Dr. Reginald Hargreeves, its members spent their childhoods fighting evil and honing their extraordinary gifts. Until something went terribly wrong. Now, nine years later, the estranged members of the Umbrella Academy are reunited by the death of the only parent they’ve ever known and the rise of a new and terrible threat. Will they be able to overcome their history for long enough to save the world- one more time?”


Conceived and written by Gerard Way, Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite 1 is the first issue of a 6-issue mini series released by Dark Horse Comics. The issues spanned publication from Sept. 19, 2007 to Feb. 20, 2008 and featured interior art by artist Gabriel Ba, colors by Dave Stewart, and cover art by James Jean (BFA Illustration, 2001).

Gerard Way is currently on tour as the lead singer of the band, My Chemical Romance.

Anonymous said...

I really hope that the Q&A is not open to the public. I would hate for Gerard to have to deal with his music spectacle in such a formal, academic setting.

He will be there to answer questions from aspiring artists, who may or may not be fans of his music.

It could become a rather embarrassing situation if it gets out of control.

I can just imagine it now..."So, like Gerard are you gonna kiss Frankie again anytime soon?"

Anonymous said...

It is my understanding that you need a student ID to attend the SVA alumni lecture series.

Anonymous said...

Anon 2:43

Let's hope that doesn't happen. He'll probably only answer questions regarding the comic book. It's pretty much the whole point of why he's doing the lecture, right?

And if someone is going to ask him stupid "Are you and Frank gonna kiss anytime soon?" questions, it's likely he won't answer them.

Anonymous said...

i would feel so bad for gerard if there were "teenies" outside of SVA screaming at him. i really hope that doesn't happen. it would be so embarrassing

It would, wouldn't it? As much as I hate his recent behavior, I can't bring myself to hate him.

Oh my god, I know!

The other day, I swear to you, I tripped and was falling. It was sooooo slow-motion. I even did that weird bear sound in my head so I could make it cool and shit. So, I fell, but it was such a perfect fall. I went down to one knee, my knee barely hitting the pavement, and stood right back up and kept going.

It was the most graceful fall ever. I even scored myself.
