The Slings & Arrows Of Outrageous Fortune

And whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer them, or either shoot the shit right back at people, or just stand up & say "I'm mad as hell & I'm not going to take it any more!!"

Tonight I stand accused of being overly controlling of my emotions & not volunteering personal feelings & opinions until asked for them. The latter is a charge I plead guilty to, but the first..??

If being overly controlling equates to repression, then 'Not Guilty!' say I. But through the strange twists & turns of personality & circumstance, my practise of the first leads quite often to the second.

Koyaanisqatsi... life out of balance...

I think you repress your emotions quite a bit, my lad, in that you don't stand there screaming and foaming at the mouth when you're angry - you quietly sit there and fume and bitch. But both are acceptable.

Mind you, I need to see you with someone you love dearly and passionately and swearing to spend the rest of your life with them to make a true judgement. No, wait, I've seen your guitars.

The relationship I have with my guitars is as honest as you can get. You truly get back what you put in...

In fact... on second thought, I reject the charge of fuming AND bitching. The former - yes, the latter - only when in trusted company who's asked what the problem is.
