Why is it so easy to make fun of oneself? - 09-01-02

I could spend hours putting myself down . . . . . and then I put myself down for my lack of self esteem. And that makes me feel worse and it doesn't get much better . . . . .

I need to go to sleep and stop thinking.

Thine thought that putting yourself down is easy betrays that thou still knows not the full extent of thyself.


Smack dab flat on my back,
The solid ground begins to crack,
I pulled her down and down and down,
I lost my breath I thought I'd drown.
Fistfuls of you, fistfuls of you,
You pulled me through with white knuckles,
White knuckles. White knuckles.)
Her leg, my hand, a smoldering brand,
Sticking to her wet body like sand,
Her place, distaste, we fell from grace,
Red smears across her face.

It's easy to put yourself down. You know all the stinging remarks and their is no force of concience to stop you from using the really cutting stuff you would never want to use on someone else. Like calling a paraplegic 'wheels' for example

The more it hurts the funnier it is as a rule.

That wishing and the crime were one
And heaven punishes desires
As much as if the deed were done.

If wishing damns us, you and I
Are damned to all our hearts content.
Come then we may at least enjoy
Some pleasure for our punishment..."

Eh, being comfortable with your flaws is healthy, I suppose. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try to better ourselves, though. I rip on myself a lot, mostly because nobody else does. Everyone's gotta get insulted every once in a while. For instance: I suck.

Aaaaah. Feels good.

You know yourself better than anyone else. You know all the faults and short-comings. There are things you do that you wouldn't tell a soul, but you know them and may think they are wrong. If someone isn't there to put you down for it, maybe you feel you have to justify everything in your head and make yourself feel worse than before.

Because you know you cant say "Well I only put myself down because I`m a asshole" its kinda self defeating.


Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so.

I think it's because it makes you look like less of an ass, For instance you bring up a topic like "I wonder if I can smoke any of those plants" it's just your friends jobs to tell you if any of them are toxic and maybe administer CPR later. At least you're not known for being an easily manipulated.

well Duchess, i could spend hours making fun of you as well. you just seem to attract it.


You can look at it as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of human life, or just chalk it up to my being a sick, bloodthirsty monster. Either way, it's all the same.

"You might as well laugh at your problems, everybody else does."

It is true.


There will be a next time.
In my heart.
In my mind.


How does it feel to be you?
How does it feel to feel the way you do?
You're so decisive,
And I don't care if you like or you hate me,
But I know you motherfuckers 'bout to under rate me.

That was an excellent post. That's probably the conclusion I was trying to come up with . . . . . .

But tonight, everything is roses and lollipops and good times

I've discovered that things always happen in the correct time frame, whether it seems like it or not.

If you're lonely, now, there's a reason for it. When you're fated to meet your One, you'll meet Them.
