I'm stuck somewhere in between,
of denying it all, and completely and utterly agreeing with you,
I could go either way...
I can neither deny or confirm anything.
just keep reading.
But don't blame me for what you think.
I am wondering, wandering,
happy, ideaologically struggling.
Watching Stephen Colbert, after watching Jon Stewart,
happily enough I feel enlightened.
There is a world where you can speak anything freely,
if you only word it properly.
Satire is beautiful, especially as the world gets more ugly.
Saying what everyone knows is such a simple way to get them to identify with you.
Or hate you completely.
Most people never ever choose their sides,
A real intelligence, with practical stupidity,
responding to the truth and speaking it out are different...
confusingly.
So you talk to people sometimes and you think they're just utter idiots,
until you have digested their words.
Although you will almost certainly misunderstand what they say,
they are painting a message to you in connotations.
Working from your internal web of internal associations,
until you see,
we are the same...
in the end.
Connotative creatures,
taking the pieces of our own life,
and integrating them incessently into meaning.
We're beautiful...yeah.
But we're stupid.

I read an article recently concerning praise. The gist was that when you praise kids for reaching an objective then the praise becomes the goal of the activity, often overriding the self satisfaction the child feels. When the praise is removed the child becomes disinterested. It suggests instead acknowledgement.
I'm not sure of the soundness and validity of this idea. I can see the point. Having a 2 year old little girl, I do hope to see her grow into a considerably less fucked up individual than myself. It's a tightrope walk. I think lots of love, a moderate amount of affection (she knows she can always have a hug if she needs one.) and interaction are the keys. It's difficult not to impose in some way your own issues. -
Here I thought I had a bullseye on my forehead
I rather enjoy drunken rambling through thoughtstrings
we all want to have meaning, yeah?
seems that way
searching for it in obscure bullshit..
that car stopped
this is my day
the bus was on time
I'm in today - life loves me
my words.. my words will go on and on
but we all know
we are not all yeats
we are not all frost or shakespeare
we are not all Buk (god how I wish I could have his gift for not giving a shit)
we are all putzes struggling through
and maybe 1 in a million of us will make it through the web of eternity
most of us will get caught in it
and be forgotten when our predecessors leave
or their minds do
whichever comes first
i'm still not the target
but I like where you took me
and I love Steven Colbert and Jon Stewart
did you see Steven Colbert at the press conference..giving it to Bush ..to his face
he is my hero

I didn't realize who you were until I looked at your profile and subsequently your blog...a familiar voice. I didn't want to mention Colbert and Stewart because it's sort of borrowing their cred. But I'd been watching episodes all night, and that sort of satire which is sometimes so good at hitting the mark was at the forefront of my mind...so...there they are.

Well aren't you the troubled philosopherpoet struggling to be utterly misunderstood so as to be the slightest bit unique if only just the slightest bit.
I do however kinda like your writing.
-

I am troubled. I am a philosopher poet, but I'm not struggling to be misunderstood. It comes naturally. It might be nice to be considered unique though. Difficult if everyone else is doing it, ironically.

Was just biting at your ancles a bit along with the slight analysis of well, you.
I do like the writing.

No malice taken. I enjoy sarcasm, sardonicism, and all things ironic and well spoken. A perfectly feasible joke can be honest...and hopefully offer another aspect to the truth of a thing. What were we talking about? Sorry long stressful day, and I seem to have lost all ability to focus.

Focus is overrated if you ask me, so much can be accomplished without it.

I have a friend who raised deer, elk, and such. A bottle fed elk cow got used to being indoors, watching TV. when as large as a bovine, it became a problem. When refused, she walked around and undid the cable TV connection. He repaired it twice, before wiping her presented hooves for toweling, to sit and quietly watch. Once he bought firewood, and bending in the bed of truck, raked off pieces between his legs onto the ground. She climbed up, and raked pieces with her front hoof. When backing, she lost purchase with a back hoof, and slipped out, ending on her back with feet flailing air. She righted herself, looked away and walked away to slowly graze.
