fundamentally flawed

yes, fundamentally, even... humanity has them and i wonder if we, as a species, will survive long enough to overcome them... when a core is rotten, it doesn't matter how strong or beautiful the skin, the apple is dying... especially when we deny the core is rotten... and then worse, we choose to eat that apple and rot our own core and die ourselves... when we should be living... feel free to read religious stories into that analogy, but it is human history so far... no one can reach truth when standing on a lie... hear that... you don't reach truth standing on a lie... depressing, unless you have enough hope and maintain enough awareness in your conscious mind to overcome the lies and fears that formed them and believe others might as well...

i want to believe...

get that one?... yes, i play with words, metaphors, analogies, even similes... i especially sprinkle my babblings with pop cultures references, lyrics, movies, stories... so returning to the first parahraph and title, even my favorite film (referenced here... hopefully you recall it by now) has a thing or two i really do not like in it... the helplessness of buttercup is appaulling... she should have grabbed the sword and killed the rous but the storytellers retained the model of patriarchal fairy tales and left her as a helpless damsel in distress... that is a sad flaw that stains an otherwise favorite film... if i was female, i wonder, would it even be a favorite?... in spite of the subtle wit, the clever writing, the poignant mockery, the brilliant casting, the epic story...

probably not...

who dares understand?... who dares remain along without compromise?...

i wait for you...

too dramatic?...

narf :)

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
