Post 12. Crazy sexy wild cool slammin beat.

I thought about the contrasts that someone had mentioned, how I've recently been treated unfairly, how recovering from such a thing is not a huge undertaking. Really I am happy with my life and I am grateful for all of my experiences. I love my scars. This is the only thing I can teach. In that thought process I wrote this, as a recognition. I am certain I'm not the first one to feel this way.

Of course this situation seems a little crazy. Thinking about it I would be upset if it didn't. All of the different cultural sensitivities must be employed to recognize violence and the victimization of others is totally wrong. Reciprocal altruism will always be a stronger skill than exploitation.

That said, why would such a non-violent statement be a position that I must labor so much to produce? Should it really be so easy to dismiss antics like this as strange or odd, and simply forget about the passions involved in, the recognition of modern culture within the contexts of the USA? People say, it is okay to have enemies, at least you stand for something.

I can't think of a way to be more so targeted, more so victimized, and more so stigmatized than to act according to a code that is not present in our cultural texts and society. It is not classifiable, there is no stereotype, it cannot be understood easily through social constructions. What I have to offer, is that I can explain in vivid detail, all of the aspects of being targeted in such a way; and all of the emotional responses involved in being bullied. In terms of intergroup differentiation as a function of social identity, the best way to establish a group prototype, is to be controversial. Not everyone will agree, most likely people will agree and disagree, but people noticed. The goal of such an achievement is to establish a new code.

I tend to agree with all of the foregoing research, and I think it would be really nice, if there was a way to re-introduce sensitivity to violence. The goal here is to do so without causing a stir, and without anyone being harmed in the process, and just maybe other people can do the same thing. It's generally a beautiful ideal.

I understand it is a salient message. I would tend to, probably neglect mentioning this work as well. But, if there's something to be said, it is that if there were something to stand up for it is this.

A young woman told me in my 20's "Always be there for someone cause you don't know how much it can mean.". Truly, life is really easy if we're there while it is happening. The trick is, making it a shared experience.

Yeah, I'm a little off, always have been; I was a killer and a queen. But, you know, life is nothing if not an adventure from which to learn.
