Morning madness (I should have headaches more)

I think something miraculous might happen today (WE MIGHT GET SNOW).

I just took the clothes in, folded them, took out the trash, swept the floor and filled up the hot water flusk (all whilst having a splitting headache that has lasted for - -counts- - 7 hours). I have to say, WOW.

Mommy is gonna come right out of her skin.

Paramount pain: Catharsis in play, or just plain torture?

The number of ways in which you can inflict pain on a person are endless. What almost instinctively comes to mind, whenever we hear about, or think of pain, is the kind derived from physical abuse/infliction.

Perhaps an equally effective method of inflicting pain, isn't by physical means, but emotional. Emotional pain may not hurt the skin, but it hurts in a place that is physically untouchable. It hurts to the extent that we may feel actual pain. It's a feeling that can never quite accurately be described.

In the realm of "emotional and spiritual pain", there is one weapon of destruction - Words.

Words, though just words, are exeedingly destructive if and when used "effectively". Most of us tend to underestimate the power words contain. If words are merely words, then why do they often make such devastating impacts, causing a kind of pain that remains with us, long after physical wounds have healed.

Have you ever been in a state where the insides of your head feel like they're on fire (I call it "brain-fry"), followed by your ears getting blocked. And then, to add to that fairly odd equation (brain-fry = blocked ears), your insides (stomach, intestines, lungs and what have you) feel sort of congested and entagled - At which point, your chest muscles start to feel constrained and your head feels about ready to explode. This complex, dreadful feeling that pervades your entire body until you BECOME 'PAIN' itself. PAIN personified. A walking PAIN of an entity.

I remember being in such a state one time and wondering how people actually survive this extent of pain. I think it's amazing how human beings have been made to withstand such tremendous volumes of pain. I swear. The more I think about it, the more I am marvelled. It's one of the very limited qualities that make human beings so amazing.

So, the next time I slip into one of those 'states' and start feeling sorry for myself, I should try instead, to remind myself of each time I survived very possibly, the greatest pain there is.

Nowhere land

Doesn't have a point of view.
Knows not where he's going to.

He's blind as he can be -
just sees what he wants to see.


Isn't he a bit like you and me?

For you, I will

What would you think if I sang out of tune, would you stand up and walk out on me? Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song - I will try not to sing out of key.

Words from the wise

Bring me champagne when im thirsty
Bring me reefer when i want to get high

Bring me champagne when im thirsty
Bring me reefer when i want to get high

Dont you know when im lonely
Bring my woman,
Set her right down on my side

You know it shouldnt be against the law
If people just wanna smoke a little dope

You know it shouldnt be against the law,
People just wanna smoke a little dope

Cause its good for your head
And it relax the body,
dont you know

Man i wanna get so high
Well so high
i gotta rest my head
In my baby's breasts

Sho'nuff its my very own right
Gotta get so high

Heyyyy sho'nuff
its my very own way

I wanna stick to my reefer

Ain't gonna mess around with no cocaine.

It's a kind of magic

I believe that we are what we wear, eat, and listen to.

Yes. Fashion, food, and music are my biggest obsessions.

They're really quite magical if you think about it.

Great food can make you escape your troubles and for a brief period, even make you love the life you actually hate.

Fabulous clothes can make you feel pretty powerful and confident - it can make a 'nobody' feel like a 'somebody' up to an entire day!

And music can put you in an imaginary mood and completely change the way you feel about something. But only for as long as the music lasts.

Sure, I won't disagree that they're only temporary forms of relief - but we take what we can get, don't we?
