Emo-Wreck

It's crazy how you think you're totally in control of your life.
The actual fact is, you're subject to a whole lot more than just personal choice.

Think our education system is fair?
Sadly, it's all a cover-up... a mirage... an illusion.

Ok... back to being in control...
You're also victim to evolution and science.
All those hormones that make you feel like crap?
Yeah...

I've been trying to control those; in fact, I've found a most effective way of keeping all that anger out of your system.
Simple really...
You release it.

Now wait...
Before you start thinking that I'm totally off my rocker, let me explain.

You feel the anger; you get pissed off BIG time...
Right?
You scream and shout and curse and yell...
You punch and fight.
You kick and roar and do anything you want to the idiot who ruined your few perfect minutes...

You do it ALL IN YOUR HEAD.
Seriously.
It helps.
Best part is... you can challenge yourself to maintain a smile in the face of frustration.

I don't know how good for your health this is... but it helps to know that you've maintained another relationship and you've been sane and gracious enough to behave the way you did.
Helps with the game of poker too...

It takes some practice though...

Again... about being emotional...
Was flipping through 'Combat Photographer - The Vietnam Experience' and I just sobbed myself dry...

I kept thinking that in reality, you only usually hear the 'winner's' view of what happened during the war...
All that about losing their precious sons?
Remember that those boys your 'precious sons' are killing...
Are also the precious sons of their country...
They have mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, wives, sons, daughters and a life too...

I need a tissue...
