i got nuthin

So i been going through this 'thing'. I wouldn't call it a funk because Blue is only one facet of it.

I'm not what you'd call an emotional person, not all fiery and raging - I'm pretty subdued. Not chill, but subdued - keeping everything inside most of the time.

Not a raconteur either. Don't usually find myself spouting anecdotes, filling all the empty spaces with words and putting folks at ease. Yeah, the babbling and "conversation": not my thing.

In fact my normal low amount of talking has been reduced lately to near nothing.

I've cut even e-mail and phone traffic down to nothing. It's weird without voices blaring and text spewing out of this magical little device called a "cell phone". What is this called? Oh yeah: here-and-now.

Add to that: somehow flowed into an atypical hyper-emotional mode. From the outside I don't think anyone has noticed, but I been living on a continuous hairy edge of breaking down for like 3 weeks. Anytime, anywhere triggered by the smallest of things: someone or something I see, a thought, the wind... fuckin' anything.

Things have been hitting me right in the heart - not sure what happened to the protective layers. Something made about three-and-a-half decades worth of armor fall away. Go figure.

These deep emotions come flowing through, both joy and sadness. This is a place I've been to but have never stayed. Something is keeping me here.

For as little as I've been talking, somehow I still make people mad .

I got yelled at the other night for saying "food is good" three times. Getting vented on is always a shock to the system, but never surprising. Seems to happen a lot with me.

I bet if I was totally mute, people could still get angry with me. I'm able to tell the tiniest little happy stories and have everyone get all bent; the darkest motives assumed about my intentions.

I'm hungry.

saying nothing is saying something...in the paradigm where everyone takes everyone elses personal process personally to themselves...ie, this world. As for being vented on...I dont think it matters what is being said (though you found a good trigger on that one) anything said three times in a row could be considered "poke-ing".
but, being on the edge and nobody noticing. ain't that just everyhing: everyone else seeing only the degree to which they are on the edge, too much so to see anyone else, or to pull them back if need be. "Dear god, help us to pull our heads out of our asses".
I
want to learn to listen.
I
have noticed how much I am too mired in my own pain to be with others.
I
am failing on yet another cleanse.
"food is good"
as I feed my mind the same bullshit it savors
as I reject this incarnation yet want to try to work with it.
this incarnation
this world
what sustains
what feeds progress
what feeds regress
?
what ever its feeding,
(at lest when you are playing "the perfect game"
it is good.
