this is someone's fb bio: "I am an artist in all I see and all I do, every single day. I feel so blessed for the family [Jim] and I have created. He is my best friend and my other half. He completes me. Our babies are my favorite little spirits, and our dog is an amazing companion. Together we are trying to weed our way through this fallen world." what do you think particularly about the underlined part?
Nice words though i don't see much meaning in them, i don't know in which context i should be looking at it. What got your curiosity going porkstock ?
eh as a writer i see that for what it is. empty words... someone is trying too hard to sound artsy and hip. lame with a capital E
As a writer, it's crap. But if it's your friend, is really happy with her life, and shes trying to express that joy to her friends with her limited poetic prowess... It's not so bad.
"Cup your hands so I can spew in them...." thats what my daughter would say, and I'd have to agree...totally wanky
haha yea it is. though the thing that caught my eye the second time i read it was the fact that the first underlined part is nearly incomprehensible. i mean how are you an artist in all that you see? unless you have superpowers that turn everything you see into mona lisa's or hipster sculptures i dont get it. and im sorry but if you are an artist in everything you do you are a really contrived person, i guess she orders a filet o fish in some hipster way, or starbucks has a custom drink for you, or you pay for your groceries with bills you folded origami out of; and anyone like that sounds like a really annoying. naturally i know [she] is just overstating it and doesnt mean it literally (i hope) that makes [her] just as much a horrendously annoying individual
my opinion is "oh look at me, im so happy and perfect, but its all a facade, because inside i am dead, and have no creativity, and all i know is that i am supposed to be happy and perfect, and love my husband, and my perfect little babies, so that is what i tell people so that i fit into the expected mold." i dont think people like that can see the happiness past the end of their noses. they are always dissatisfied by reality. contentedness is the key to everyday happiness. you have the orgasm, you smoke the cigarette, you eat the fucking cookie. if you are otherwise content, the moments of true happiness last longer. when you are depressed/ dissatisfied/ disenchanted those moments of happiness cannot sustain you as long, and you are right back in the hole.

well these are pretty much the responses i expected. except some got a little deeper than i thought. it was my bio.... nah, it is my buddy's wife's. she is just very pretentious and thinks she's better than everyone, but she doesn't really DO anything to "weed her way through this fallen earth." she is part of the problem kinda by having two kids too early to fully support them, so while they aren't on welfare, they get plenty of government assistance. and yeah, she is very artistic, but C'MON! "ALL you see and ALL you do, EVERY SINGLE DAY?! can you not realize you sound like a bitch? it's my friend's wife, so i can't be too "mean" to her, but sometimes i call her out on things. she is also the one i gave LSD to for her only trip other than salvia...and she kinda freaked out thinking we were gonna get in trouble, in the middle of the woods, because we happened to see a family on a trail. no amount of reassurance would help, and she just kept saying "i feel weird." "do you feel weird?!" "i still feel weird" no shit, you took ACID! there are probably a few other things i could say, but i don't wanna talk TOO much shit
