Freudian slips of the fingers....
Since this is a mostly literary crowd, I am asking if anyone else ever notices that as you proof what you typed before hitting "send", that you find that what you wrote is not what you intended; and that what you wrote actually expresses a feeling or idea that you don't particularly think is politic to express, but may indeed express some feeling that is buried inside, perhaps without you being aware of it beforehand. I sometimes learn a lot about myself that way. It is also a good reason to proof what you write very carefully, lest you end up standing naked before others. (I mean that in the bad way.)
Filth!
Recently I learned that my favorite underground cartoonist, R. Crumb, had released an illustrated version of the Book of Genesis, that is, the first book of the Bible. Remembering all those cool stories from Sunday school, I got right on Amazon and bought a copy that came to my door instanter. Having read through about 33 of the 50 chapters, I became appalled at what I was exposed to an such an impressionable age. Even a degenerate roue like myself blushed at the non-stop fest of orgies, incest, rape, murder and I think I even detected a bit of besitality in there. And all this by the so called good guys. Don't even get me started on the Sodomites! What were people thinking when they decided that this is the basis for our society's ethical principles? I honestly don't get it, not even as metaphor. Maybe I ought to check out the Quran.
Who needs terrorists when we have airport security officials?
If anyone tried to make this up, they'd be hooted off the stage, yet here it is. Read it and weep. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34724851/ns/world_news-europe//
Sexual Healing
This week brings the penultimate visit of my periodontist to that money pit that my mouth has become in the last year. It's at times like this that I take solace in the wonderful tune by the late great Marvin Gaye who first tuned me in to the wonder healing properites of sex. I'm so grateful that I have so many sexual therapist to help me through the pain and discomfort. Has anyone else used sex theraputically this way? My only regret is that I can't take a healthcare tax deduction for their services.
