Pistachio and Anchovy

When I was young I was picked on quite a bit. The usual set of circumstances, I was an easy target (smart, quiet, odd, insecure) and once the kids found my buttons they didn’t relent. For a long time I tried to ignore them. I spent a lot of time reading because I thought that with a book in front of my face I would blend into the background. And, for a while I did. From behind those first books I developed my love of the written word. Beginning with the marvels I found in the library and then later the stories I found in my own head. My need to escape elementary school torment helped foster my imagination, I suppose. I need to thank those kids for that.

So anyway, a few times the kids pretended that they wanted to be my friend. A kid would ask if I wanted to hang out on the playground either at recess or after school. The first couple of times I bought it. It was a pathetic display of desperation that, looking back now, makes me laugh. You can see that kid, right?...very awkward, over-filled book bag, disheveled clothes, greasy hair, hopeful smile. I would wait for my friend to show up and of course they wouldn’t and I would eventually trudge home. Sometimes they would gather somewhere along my route and give me a hard time shouting “Who were you waiting for back there?” and “Did you really think we’d be friends with you.” It was worse when they would wait until the next day bringing my humiliation to school to share with the rest of the class.

Why am I telling you this? Well…insight I suppose and also to offer some context that you may draw from for those times when I seem a bit vague (yes, really). I have had to overcome and still battle with some pretty substantial trust issues. Always present in the back of my mind is the voice telling me to watch out for anyone who gets too close because they probably have an ulterior motive that will leave me in a rut. It has taken me a long time and years of therapy to be able to ignore that voice and share even my more simple weaknesses with friends (without the guise of fiction). And, so I share this piece of myself, my past with you.


p.s. I am not sure what you will glean from my palate but my gut holds plenty.






(Not at present: soon and I'll let you know when.)

Um, okay.

There was a child abduction alert issued on a channel here, for the state of Georgia, but it;s only in effect until 10:34 pm.

Does that make sense to anyone?

Amyranth said...

Smoke, that's what I was thinking!

"Well sir, if the little abductee ain't home by 10:30, then we're gonna get REAL worried, is all. We just wanted everyone to know"

I mean, it COULD Have been an Amber Alert, but it didn't give any information.

Mr. Mayo,

Some friends from here have asked me in the past to post here but I felt no need to stir up trouble. But this post (as if you'll notice amongst the hundreds of comments) brought to my mind some things I'd like you to consider.

(i.e. rambling time! Sure you've missed them....)

The children that tormented you did so because cruelty is power and power feels good. Though this may seem like a blanket statement, all forms of cruelty have themselves rooted in power, even actions that are unintentionally cruel.

So much of what we do, I do everyday is rooted in attempting to gain power/control over our lives, our surroundings, other people, ourselves.

A friend I made here in Rochester a few months ago insisted I send Gerard Way a letter through Warner Bros Records after revealing the funny sort of ordeal I had gone through prior to meeting him. I guffawed, explaining it was a part of my past I didn't want to revisit, but in May, I acceded. Holding the letter in my hand, paying a couple dollars for something I didn't care about anymore, I took the time to reflect on the hidden forces behind that incident. Why it took so long to get over.

In shame, I realized my frustration had been due to the fact I had no control over the situation. No one to wave a wand and say, "here's why!" or "there he is! Go shake his hand and get this out of your system." In coming over to your blog, I did so in the hopes of finally gaining some power over the situation. As we know, not getting any answers only frustrated and hurt me further.

I digress. I only wish for you to consider that holding back and keeping secrets is but another way to retain control and power as well. Not as much difference between what you do here and what those children were going for as you may think.

Fare well and good night.
And to anyone else here as well!.

And it was for my state? Georgia? Awww, well that says it all right there.

sdock10 said...

Mayo,

Hi, how are you tonight? I hope you're having a pretty great night. I think I am. I don't seem to be weighed down by heavy thoughts or some stupid shit that is out of my control. I guess there's not much pondering and dwelling going on in my head tonight.

I do want to touch on one more thing going back to your post. Something that Fimble brought up last night in her comment...how in our twisted minds there is nobody out there in the world who can possibly be as lonely as we are. Not realizing. Not taking the time to look around and see that everyone probably feels that way from time to time. How much of our "loneliness" is actually real? I ask that because I don't know. I feel lonely most of the time, but I know that I'm not. Is it because of my childhood? Is it in spite of my great family? Is it laziness on my part? Fear? Trust issues? All of the above?

Fuck, I guess there's more pondering going on in my head than I realized. I should have known better than to expect a quiet night in the mind of Solly.

Time for bed, Mayo. Sweet dreams and restful sleep.

Love to YOU Always,
S

p.s. Loneliness or self imposed isolation?

Anonymous said...

A mixture of both.



Goodnight, Smoke, Sdock, MissT, and hello and goodbye to GV!

Well, he's going to have to be hot for sure. He's gonna have to be somehow ridiculously old--perhaps not just immortal, but eternal--yet still bishonen.

And he wears red and has retardedly long yet manageable shiny black hair.

Hmm. Tried looking up the mythology surrounding cherries and didn't find too much. Apparently the Chinese considered it a symbol of immortality so you're on the right track.

The Japanese supposedly associate it with modesty and courtesy. So perhaps he would be polite while kicking ass.

Anon,

I have a mind that never rests. And to be perfectly honest, I am interested in everyone and everything's secrets.

(sometimes I loathe the decision I made years ago to be as honest as possible)

Obviously, as you all are too aware, it began with the question of, who has the gall to pretend to be some rockstar? Which then transformed into, OMG I am nuts, this might be Gerard. And then once I understood the workings of Mayo's mind, I lost interest. Being the bigoted egoist I am, I think I have a pretty good handle on what kind of secrets he's hiding now.

For instance, my mind is now wondering why you keep your identity a secret. Curiosity will truly end up killing this Kat.

Good move, TJ. That way no one will mistake it for a live fish on this guy's head.

not well

Original Punk J said...

Inexpensive AND pretty, two bargains in one! That's great, A.

BC, L and I both left comments at your place. Did you see them?

Fish Details are the best details, TJ.

Original Punk J said...

What's wrong, Anon?

Amyranth said...

Actually Ergo, the storm smashed up my Tigers pretty good. I have one bud left to bloom though, and I'll take a shot of that one to show you.

The stargazers are more sheltered, so they didn't get beat up badly. The grocery store here is selling potted Lilies for $5, so I plan to go and buy a few plants in a couple of days.

ergoproxy said...

poor anon!

Original Punk J said...

Lilies are my favorite flower, A, Ergo. Any kind. They're such graceful flowers.

ergoproxy said...

TJ is it a "mexico fish"?

Amyranth said...

Ergo, most definitely not. I have a neighbour that uses Tigers as her dividing line between houses. Until the hailstorm that is.
