There is a country band out now called Lady A and they have a song out entitled, "I need you now". One line in the song says, "I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all".
That line has me thinking. How many people feel that way now. I went on a tirade this week after walking behind a young woman at SIU-E (a local university) wearing stilettos--clomping along, bent knees, leaning weird. I could only imagine it was because her feet hurt. I have seen the pose before by a lot of women that choose the style. Then, a few minutes later, I saw a girl with a skirt so short that you saw shadows in the nether region! She was standing there pulling the garment down over and over again.
It seems that women are again to the point were it is better to be uncomfortable for fashion. Sad.
But, I think it has to do with the current trend of public angst that is happening with all the reality TV and current economic problems.
I have had a lot of issues in my life and sometimes I myself find myself on those particularly down days wishing I had a t-shirt that said, "so you think you are having a bad life, well let me tell you..." and then I would list all my woes. (perhaps the shirt would have to be very big some days)
What to do, what to do? I think we need to get someone to listen to our problems so we can dump them and move on. Some are good dumpers, some are not. Some want to dump and never be the listener.
My mission for the day--and week--identify when and who to dump to and then move away on on with my life. Can you do it?
