Kill 4 Connection
My inability to access my email and vmail over the last few days had me wondering if the two were conspiring against me. This got me thinking about animism. I let the thought go until a day later, when I punched and cursed a door after slamming my finger. Call me crazy, but I felt very strongly about the doors intent to harm me. After beating myself up for abusing the inanimate, I began to think about children and their seemingly natural belief in animism. Shintoism and the nature of matter found it's way into this inner convo. Maybe children have it right, maybe that door did have ill will towards me, and maybe we are taught to rationalize away the true nature of things.

Speaking of "Kill for Connection," I had a similar moment of reflection late last night as I cried myself to sleep. Although it's been over a week since I was merciFULLY dumped by my boyfriend, I still experience sporadic painful episodes. I can't help but wonder what I'm supposed to get out of getting my feelings hurt. Sounds like it has absolutely nothing to do with your plight with the door and cable company- but don't you just wonder WHY stuff like that happens? It enrages you because it seems pointless and you can't do anything about it. On the other hand, maybe there is a reason...
