Four prisoners framed by a dirty judge
I thought the whole world read my livejournal, but apparently somebody missed this post: http://www.livejournal.com/users/doahleigh/1300.html
Today somebody asked me if I lost weight because “it looks like it in your face”. God, did I have a huge balloon face before? I guess I shouldn’t be so annoyed, they mean it as a compliment. Hopefully.

I don’t recall any huge balloon faces in our apartment. I think you were okay.
People? Well, they’re idiots. It’s something you should learn to accept.

too bad this annoys you so. it was probably just meant that there was something that sparkled about you that day and maybe the person just couldn’t put their finger on it and that was the first thing that came to mind. one would think to take a compliment as just that, a compliment. i highly doubt that people watch your weight as closely as you do. no one notices when you gain 3 pounds or lose 3 pounds. i am sure they have better things to do than to stare at you to figure out exactly how many pounds you have lost or gained today. obviously it is you who is the true weight watcher or you wouldn’t be so sensitive to this matter.

Okay fucker, whoever you are. It was just a joke. Lighten up. And stay away from my livejournal if you’re gonna post anonymously.

“I thought the whole world read my livejournal”
That part was a joke too moron. Either go away or reveal yourself. And stop being an ass because nobody’s entertained.

Yeah shut up you stupid butthead

Thanks Brad.

i will go away. there is better reading elsewhere. i just want to pose the question, what would you do if the person who said that to you read what you wrote?
May 25th, 2005 at 8:58 am
We’d probably have a good laugh over it because she’d get that it was a joke. Nice try though.
Why does this bother you so much anyway? Who are you and why are you commenting anonymously? That’s lame.

I’m nuts about your livejournal entry naming scheme. Just wanted to let you know.

Does that mean you know what it is?

THE GULF OF ARABY - NATALIE MERCHANT

Good job, great song. But who is this? epathamerkerson?
May 26th, 2005 at 6:24 am
Well, not really. I just like the linguistic pattern (# of something doing something, etc). Also, each subject tells a little story!
May 26th, 2005 at 6:28 am
Swing and a miss!
Please tell me you don’t think the Dixie Chicks wrote “Landslide” too…

Wait what? It is Natalie Merchant. Maybe not originally, but it’s her version that I love.
May 26th, 2005 at 7:14 am
Katell Keineg wrote it.
May 26th, 2005 at 7:22 am
I knew it wasn’t hers originally, she does a lot of covers. But I love her version best and that’s the one I have in my head when I write my titles.

The writer did a nifty job of writing about what would occur when a people achieve freedom (remember, this is written by an Irish woman) but totally drops the ball when she goes back to a tyrannical environemnt. “One man of seventy whispers free at last” vs “One man of seventy whispers not free yet” — she managed to capture a -BIT- of the frustration when society goes from free to enslavement, but just can’t keep it going, so she makes up gibberish in the final verses. Pity, because she was doing so well with the first count-up but it grates me nonetheless.
It grates me as mankind can see freedom, but we do not as a whole often recognize tyranny until the aftermath. While I adore this specific work of art, it frustrates that me that is is lacking in the very area that is most pertinent to the vast majority of people in this world. Tyranny is often invisible, or unexplainable, by the majority of the population because they know nothing but that. It is akin to trying to identify why you drank water today: you always have. We’ve always been at was with Eurasia.

Um… wow.

….I agree. Wow.

I should have put this in the original post but the lyrics are written by Claire Wolfe. It was later put to music by a couple groups and the title of the song is “Justice Day”.
I realize that it is odd that I took such a docile comment and turned it into a reflection on the human condition of tyranny vs. freedom, but that’s how I look at the world. Hence, I grab onto a docile comment and lash out when it ignores what I feel is the underlying issue. Assuredly it is not at the commentor, but at the ignorance of the general issue, that I take issue with.
The past few weeks have been -very- bad for anybody that desires freedom and that post, and the posting of the pre-written lyrics, sort of bubbled out of that.
It wasn’t meant to anger the orignal poster. It is, however, the truth. I wish it wasn’t, but it is. Sad.
