That is a great question.

One that requires a little back history, current insight, and whatnot...

I was so overwhelmed that the thought of walking off into oblivion sounded rather reasonable. It was then, with seven days worth of living layered on my body that I found those words. I can speculate that if I had stumbled upon them at any other time I would have completely missed the punchline. (Oh, the drama.) And, here they are again. Their missive as apparent now as it was then...only I have been there, done that.

And I am now, as I was then, required to debate myself long into the night the commitment of my endeavors. Yet, I am unable to get past the immediate burden of now. The constant demands of my time, my mind, are as good a place as any to wait it out. Work. One might assume that it is my fear of failure that has me stalled. That may have been the case then, but not this time. This time it is fear of becoming stale, stuck, tired and ridiculous…and my own overactive scrutiny as evidenced by the aforementioned fears. I can think shit to death, but right now I am not in the mood.

Perhaps, I am lazy. So what? Maybe I need a reprieve from self-deconstruction. Nope. I will just put it off for a little while and take a break. Tomorrow, next week, next month aren't going anywhere and all weigh heavy on my mind. I will give them due course, in time. But this, this moment that is happening right now…I have to deal with that first (even if it is nothing). And I know when I am ready and after proper deliberation, I will be comfortable, not resigned, with my decision.

Then, I am sure to hear the brilliant, overcooked opinions of those looking out for their interests in the guise of caring suggestion. They'll think me an idiot who blundered upon reason. Fuck ‘em if they don’t get it.

All of that back there and the way the author selected his words to sound like what they tell.

“lifts and lets fall. lifts and lets fall.”

“which spurts fragments of anguished glass.”

I see it, the crane in the scrapyard plowing through the wreckage and pulling up piece after piece without inspection. It sounds just like that, the pick and pull, the overflow spilling over the sides, the popping of the windows. That is an amazing talent; to be able to choose words in such a way as to make the reader see what they hear. Or is it, hear what they see?

And it is dark and fateful. It asks me to consider what will tear me apart. How easy it is to devour prey. Hunger, either voracious or timid, is base. And there is always a suitable meal. There it is so beautiful, enticing that we can’t resist the need, the desire, to grasp it tightly holding it steady so that we can get our fill of it. Our free hand may then break it down to its pieces parts. What is consumed will either be used for sustenance or pulled apart and re-pieced for an altogether different machine. One built from recycled guts. Delivered to a showroom near you, or shit on the heads of unsuspecting park patrons. Either way...we are what we eat.

And the contrary always appeals to me, reminds me that I can be full of shit.

Natural versus manufactured destruction...involuntary dismay and the crow and the crane and we are preening. Is it less evident because it is instinctual or because it is easier to sleep at night?


p.s. I will undoubtedly revise as it has re-established its hold of my time and my grooming.

He wasnt out there 2 minutes before he called all the girls in the audience whores


and all of the girls CHEERED


The look on my face was priceless I'm sure.

Now does he really believe that....maybe....but probably not! I'm sure the guy has some woman in his life that he probably worships.....but that doesnt fit in with his public personna...and it sure the hell doesn't sell albums OR HIM.

See what can happen when you feed the trolls?

With summer vacation still in full swing, I still say the best thing you can do is just scroll right on past them. They are bored and looking for reactions, and for you to turn on each other, so that they can have some entertainment in their sad, little lives. The best way to get them to stop is to just simply ignore their rantings. That way they will go elsewhere to find excitement.

Trust me, I've dealt with trolls for years. ^_^

Why texting harms your IQ

Txts n emails mk ppl stupid coz they R worse than smking pot & lead 2 a st8 of 'infomania'
By Michael Horsnell

THE regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana.

That is the claim of psychologists who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking them for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to 10 points off the user’s IQ.

This rate of decline in intelligence compares unfavourably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana, according to British researchers, who have labelled the fleeting phenomenon of enhanced stupidity as “infomania”.

Research on sleep deprivation suggests that the IQ drop caused by electronic obsession is also equivalent to a wakeful night.

Infomania is mainly a problem for adult workers, especially men, the study commissioned by Hewlett Packard, the technology company, has concluded.

The noticeable drop in IQ is attributed to the constant distraction of “always on” technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do. Infomania means that they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost permanent state of readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the task in hand.

Workers lose productivity by interrupting a business meeting and disrupt social gatherings because of their infirmity, the report said.

The brain also finds it hard to cope with juggling lots of tasks at once, reducing its overall effectiveness, it added. And while modern technology can have huge benefits, excessive use can be damaging not only to a person’s mind, but to their social life.

Eighty volunteers took part in clinical trials on IQ deterioration and 1,100 adults were interviewed.

More than six in ten (62 per cent) of people polled admit that they were addicted to checking their e-mail and text messages so assiduously that they scrutinised work-related ones even when at home or on holiday. Half said that they always responded immediately to an email and one in five (21 per cent) will interrupt a meeting to do so.

Furthermore, infomania is having a negative effect on work colleagues, increasing stress and dissenting feelings. Nine out of ten polled thought that colleagues who answered e-mails or messages during a face-to-face meeting were extremely rude. Yet one in three Britons believes that it is not only acceptable, but actually diligent and efficient to do so.

The effects on IQ were studied by Dr Glenn Wilson, a University of London psychologist, as part of the research project.

“This is a very real and widespread phenomenon,” he said. “We have found that infomania, if unchecked, will damage a worker’s performance by reducing their mental sharpness.

“Companies should encourage a more balanced and appropriate way of working.”

The report suggests that firms who give employees gadgets and devices to help them keep in touch from wherever they might be should also produce guidelines on use.

These “best practice tips” including using “dead time”, such as travelling time, to read messages and check e-mails and turning devices off in meetings. David Smith, commercial manager of Hewlett Packard, said: “The research suggests that we are in danger of being caught up in a 24-hour ‘always on’ society.

“This is more worrying when you consider the potential impairment on performance and concentration for workers, and the consequent impact on businesses.”

He said that although the company produced such technology, it was similar to a motor manufacturer making a 150mph sports car and telling drivers to stick within speed limits.

He added: “Similarly, ‘always on’ technology has proven productivity benefits but people need to use it responsibly. We know that technology makes us more effective, but we also know that misuse of technology can be counter-productive.”

There seems to me that there's a difference in sharing opinions and sounding like you're wishing some one ill.

And when I came in, there was a lot of wishing someone else ill, that I didn't think was very nice.

Oh, and the dig about being nasty? Won't work. I've never presented myself as The Sweetheart around here, but I have learned some lessons from being here. It's a shame that not everyone else can.

Once again, your opinion is like your asshole. Once you've shared it, is there really a reason to keep sharing it, over and over? Lots of people get angry when anons share the opinion that Kapunua isn't a great person. Lots of Anons get angry when someone here shares an opinion that they don't agree with.

We'll never agree, we'll only disagree. Maybe we need to start disagreeing once, and leaving it at that.

Triston, I'm just dandy. :D Have you been keeping busy musically, i.e., latest gigs, etc?

Miranth, L's started taking vitamins and supplements that are recommended for people with CMP/FM. Ginger root, CoQ-10, magnesium maltrate (? I think), B-12, couple other things I can't remember. Her dr had had her on gabapentin, which is used frequently in treatment of nerve disorders, but it seemed to make her worse, so she's been weaning herself off it slowly. He had her on 1800 mg a day--the max dose! She was in agony. But thanks to Ergo, Amy, and a few others who I've unfortunately forgotten but am grateful for, L's doing her own care and feeling a lot better.

Amy, no, she hasn't gone for a massage yet. She's found another therapist who specializes in CMP/FM, and is trying to decide which one to go to. She's also going to try t'ai chi, that's supposed to be good for the knots.

Triston, I wish we COULD come see a live (pardon the expression) band this weekend, it would be cool to do that again. L and I used to know some guys in a band when we lived in Chattanooga, and we'd go see them when they played. They were a cover band, did all kinds of '80s stuff. I worked with the bassist, and his best friend was the guitarist. They had 2 different drummers when we knew them, one was another co-worker, the other was a friend of the guitarist's.

Mercy, the memories of that guitarist. We almost had a thing, but couldn't seem to work things out. Ah well, now he's bald and alone. :( AWWWWWWWWW!

OP - J That is great news that she found alternative therapies that worked for her. I am amazed that the doctor prescribed such a high dosage. They should monitor reactions and up the dosage accordingly... Or change the medication altogether. But its better for her if the vitamins and alternative supplements work well. T'ai chi has been lauded by everyone I know who took classes. It also helps people de-stress, which is also good. I think the fact that she now has the correct diagnosis is a good part of the solution... Tell her I am sending her positive wishes and I am proud of her tenacity! and *hugs* too.

OP - J - I am going to see my friend Cuddy's band this week! Can't wait! Then he gets to open at Warped (local acts play too) I am so excited for him!

Original Punk J said...

Amy, L got a DVD on t'ai chi today, and I'm thinking about joining her for the exercises. Can't hurt, might help. Who knows? I'm always up for things to help the arthritis.

And about Wendy...she's recovering still, but has some big-time antibiotics which are helping. Plus some pain pills. She and I email frequently. She said she's not quite ready to come back full-time yet, but DOES miss us a whole bunch! Do you have her email address? If not, I can send it to you if you like.

Yes J...its a terrible thing...we do get old....and Bald....and fat....some of us end up in wedding bands...and some of us end up in the Quarter playing for 25.00 a set plus tips......its a sad sad state of affairs....but whats a guitar player to do.

The thing is if you stay in the public eye....you watch your weight...you do whatever it is you have to do for your hair...and when something breaks you fix it...because 8 out of 10 people that are watching you are....very superficial...its all about "the Look"

Amyranth said...

I'm done with you Amyranth. You are a hypocrite and you just don't get it. You think that you are allowed to shit on real people and try to turn others against them, but they are not allowed to have an opinion of a rock star that you happen to like. You don't even make sense.

Wow, speaking of not making sense. I'll explain this one last time.

I said shitty things about Kapunua. I realized it was a bad idea and never brought it up again.

Now, I come on here tonight and see a bunch of people taking the piss on Teej because she was frustrated, upset, and stressed and got angry because of the constant Gerard bashing.

Let's make this clear.

You are pissed off at me because you believe that I thought it was alright to bitch about Jules. You do not realize that I know now that it wasn't, but it's too late to make amends now, isn't it?

I am pissed off because you are HARASSING someone who could possibly be SERIOUSLY ILL. That is the biggest pile of shit you could dig yourself into on this blog right now.

Then, you start ripping out old arguments, beating old dead horses, all because I think you need to LAY THE FUCK OFF OF MY FRIEND.

If you're just here to antagonize someone for the fun of it, go to hell. If you wanna share your opinion, fine, but don't be surprised if you don't find that everyone shares it, or even a few who outright disagree with you. If you can't deal with it, pick up your toys and go home.

Well fuck. Didn’t my comment earlier tonight really start something? Thing were going just fine until I brought down the wrath of the anons. Suddenly there they were and yes, they are still going and going. They just move from one topic to another. Yep, Elena made an off color joke and the shit hit the fan. Well la-de-fuckin’-da. Know what? While I’m sorry this went on for hours I’m not sorry for what I said. No, wait. The only person I will apologize to is you Mayo. If my comment offended you, then I am sorry. Other than that – nope not sorry at all. I truly believed that I was with a group of mostly grown women who would see it for what it was – a joke. I was obviously wrong.

But here’s the thing, Mayo. I really don’t give a fuck what they say to me. Or about me and my “poorly written” porn I wrote for you. I can take that with a grain of salt. What I do not understand is why so many anons here chose to say such hurtful things. Yeah, I sound like a broken record, don’t I? Guess, I’ll just never understand. Okay, and what I think is worse is saying hurtful things under the anon tag. What the fuck? Shit, if you have something to say to someone then have the guts to say it using a name. Yeah, I get it really. It’s so fucking easy to trash someone when you know that your identity is safe. Spew shit and you don’t have to worry cause your anon. That is being a coward.

Mayo, sometimes with all the shit going on in my life it’s so fucking hard to come here. This used to be my safe haven. A place where I could come and talk with friends. Not so much anymore. Yeah, I have some really close friends who I trust with all my heart. It hurts to see them trashed. It hurts to see ANYONE trashed. And still I keep coming back to the same question – Why do they do it? It is one thing to have an opinion about someone but quite another to say vile things about that person.

I’m tired Mayo. Tired mentally and physically. I feel like I’m being worn down. But even so I will remain. I made a promise, and I will keep it. I can’t change anyone else. I get that. I really get that.

Night Mayo

Elena (and to think I really thought I was going to win a Noble prize for that story)

Rasputins Revenge said...

Thank you J...I believe I have one of them. What Wendy wants me to have...she will give it to me. :D

Amyranth said...

Triston and J, thank you for the update. J I think I have Wendy's email around somewhere in the depths of my inbox.

Mira, is your friend's band only playing local Warped? If they're on tour with them, I'd like to check them out.

-A

Original Punk J said...

BTW, that face was supposed to be a frowny. :(

Miranth, how cool for your friend! That's exciting. I'm sure he and his band will be fantastic. And I'll definitely tell L what you said. :)

First 3.04 Anon: amen and hallelujah!

So...anybody reading anything good right now?

Amyranth said...

Cheers Elena, in more ways than one.

Rasputins Revenge said...

And if shes reading this " Get well real soon Beautiful"



Ya think she'll like that. { looks around}

Hmmm...maybe I should send flowers. ;)

Rasputins Revenge said...

J...I stayed in Chattanooga for two weeks during and after the hurricanne...It was beautiful and I had a great time...I almost hated to come back to the swamps.

Anonymous said...

Goodnight Elena, sweet dreams *hugs* Amy, just because I feel like it *hugs*

Rasputins Revenge said...

Well my sweet ladies...including the anons!!...I like you all as well, just lighten up a little, everyone has an opinion.

I must be off...6 AM comes early and I have many bids to give tomorrow!!! I am rolling right now...money money money money!!...thats good I was starting to get a little concerned about a month ago...thought I might have to go out and get a real job....yikes!



Have a great ...whatever it is wherever you are at!

miranth said...

Amy - They have an agenda in saying the shitty things that they do. You don't need to justify anything to them. I do understand your feelings. I didn't wish to come here, as I had nothing to say, but I came to check up anyway and felt that anger. I also felt strength though, to defend this community and add to the camaraderie that exists even as we tread through bullshit. That's what matters :)

You've been here longer than I have, so perhaps you know this too..

Though I am perfectly certain of the fact that some would like us to leave. So please don't let them get to you.

for the most outstanding work of an ideal tendency in blog porn.

Original Punk J said...

Elena: YES. *applauds madly* I agree with everything you said. Excellent!

Amy: YES. *applauds madly* Your comment at 3.21 was also excellent! I agree with you as well.

Triston: Chattanooga IS beautiful. I really liked living there, it's a good size, not too crowded. But, they ran out of jobs for me, so...it was off to ATL. Bad move, but hey.

Rasputins Revenge said...

and don't anyone leave.....coexhist!


nite all

Original Punk J said...

Goodnight Triston, good to see you again! Good luck tomorrow.

And I'm sorry, KD, I totally missed speaking to you! Hi KD! Bye KD!

elena said...

Thank you Nobel Prize...

Thank you my friends.

Goodnight

Original Punk J said...

Goodnight Elena, we'll talk to you tomorrow, ok? Sleep well. Love you.

Amyranth said...

*hugs BC back*

Goodnight Triston!

Thanks Mira. It means a lot to have you say that.

J, thank you as well.

Hey Elena, can I touch your Nobel Prize?

What would a Nobel for Porn look like anyway?

I should probably go to bed. I'm going in to work tomorrow to quit. Hooray for me!

Goodnight Lovelies, Mayo, SS (checks behind the curtains) and anyone else who wishes to have a goodnight sent their way.

miranth said...

Thanks J :) and *hugs* for you, too :)

Goodnight Triston. Congrats on the nobel prize Elena :D

Aw miranth, you make me proud :)

Original Punk J said...

I guess I'll head out, too, it's very late.

Goodnight Amy, BC, Miranth, Nice Anon that Posted Song Lyrics (again, EC is the Man)! See (most of) you tomorrow.

Morning Mayo!

Morning Guys!

Just passing through on my way to the kettle.

"Be excellent to each other"

Oh, and FYI - Posting on VV's isn't just for "haters"; some of us just see a total numpty who set about ruining a good thing and like to poke fun because it's human nature and we're bored!

I never said I was a nice person...

Kass xx

Original Punk J said...

Oh Kass, you say the nicest things about yourself...how're you feeling?

Anonymous said...

Night night amy, sweet dreams

miranth said...

Goodnight Amy *hugs* :)

Thank you BC :) It means a lot to have you say that! I did realize their agenda recently... though I have truly had little time to visit.

Speaking of which, I must go to get a few hours of sleep!

miranth said...

Hi Kass!

Goodnight J and BC :)

*big hugs* :)

Anonymous said...

Goodnight J, sweet dreams. Hi there Kass, good to see you at the same time while I am awake. Woo! :)

Original Punk J said...

Hey Mayo,

Short but simple tonight.

If you're thinking what I'm thinking, then you're thinking the "anon" feature should be deactivated. This isn't the first time folks have come on the night following a person's surgery and run riot over them. Where's the compassion?

Now please don't think I'm telling you what to do. By no means do I presume to do that. I just think that some like to jump on others when they're down and out, so to speak. They take advantage of another person's weakness/illness/blues/etc, not giving any quarter to the victim.

Quite the childish behavior. And the relentlessness is like a dog with a dead rat. Let the damn thing go already!

Ok, that's my rant for you tonight. Thanks for letting me say my piece.

Goodnight Mayo, enjoy your Wednesday.

Love to you, my friend.

Anonymous said...

Goodnight miranth, sweet dreams! *hugs*

Original Punk J said...

Dear SS,

You probably read my goodnight to Mayo, and thought, Wha? Turn off anonymous comments? But how will I comment?

Again, just a suggestion: you could come up with a "black" name to use when you visit. Each time you come back, you could use a different alias, thereby avoiding identity theft and/or constant hounding by nasty anons.

Yais? Good idea? Or complete lunacy? You be the judge.

*wonders what nasty anons would do if you signed in as Precious one day*

*laughs to self*

Ah, good times. :D

Just kidding. Or maybe not...;)

I'm too tired, I'm making no sense.

Goodnight, baby. I love you.

My heart to yours, always.

Kassiopeia said...

Hi/Bye OPJ, Miranth & BC!

I am well and hope you all are too. I've just been reading back so I was a little distracted and now I have to go do the stuff I'm paid to.

Have a great Wednesday!

Kass xx

miranth said...

Goodnight or Good-day as the case may be!

I did not catch up, so I have no clue what is going on, but I do wish any who are facing difficulties now the best of luck and strength to deal with what they must. ♥

TJ - I am wishing you positive news on Friday and I hope the mean anons don't get to you. As I have said, some want us to leave, but we should not oblige them. And I think our host would be offended! :)

Nice Anons - Please come back!!!

MAYO - I have had remarkably little to say here, for some reason, and no time to say it in anyway. I do still thank you for this place in which to gather, though the room smells musty, at best, :) just now...

I have realized that some wish us to leave and shan't oblige them, as I am stubborn. :) But I do wish you to be careful whom you trust. I know I repeat myself, but as I can't communicate more clearly and it weighs on my mind when I am here, I'll repeat it just hoping you've figured it out. But perhaps you just see things very differently. *sighs* Take care of yourself in any case.

PS - And I don't think you are GW, to repeat that thought again, as I have no new words. :(

Perhaps I should borrow someone else's.


Have a great day, lovelies. And nice anons :)

miranth said...

PPS - Perhaps you are right J... Few nice anons seem to be commenting anyway, so they wouldn't suffer from a Time Out for all of the mean anons.

Plus it would be making an unequivocal statement, as much here is subject to interpretation...

yep, sure is...
