Pointless
Temper lost, peace lost, compassion lost, reason lost.
Loss of self, consumed in icy anger, fury, ire and loathing.
I thought I'd killed this me
The me consumed by rage
where reason has no hold.
Imprisoned only, beneath a thin veneer.
Then worse, the me that frightens me more than the rage
Even, unfeeling, compelled by reason, unruled by passion or emotion.
Uncaring, hurtful by calculation, not by passion.
Not willing to accept anything but its own logic driven reality.
Heart turned off, soul smothered, intellect in full control.
Separate, disconnected, passionless and cold.
Analyzing risk versus reward, effort against return
Solitary and unfeeling
Unhuman
So much progress, thought to be made
Gemini nature, at the forefront
the ugly twin.
Janus Gemini each twin
with two faces
Back to square one

Nice. Rings very true in our field.
so, it seems we've all had a strange and rough weekend... what with hw angry at the cosmos, me being me and being angry at myself, you being angry at your twin self.
huh. must be a full moon. that or like a cheerleading squad we're all getting our menses at the same time.
will you let us know when you're feeling better?
or should i ship you some godiva chocolate?
Even if he doesn't tell you, feel free to ship the Godiva chocolates to me!!! :)
yea, he probably doesn't deserve them.
I don't eat chocolate, so they'd probably be wasted on me. =)
Feeling better today, thanks Wendy. =)
Good to hear you're doing better Vag. Seriously though, that was some great writing. I only wish the people I see could express themselves that well. Would make my work alot easier.
At any rate, when are you heading back home? Would like to catch up with you before you do if you've got a free evening. Can fire up the BBQ for you and the Mrs if you're interested. Drop me an e-mail and let me know what you're schedule is like. Take care!

Sounds good Shawn, I'll drop you a line.
fine no chocolates for you then. see if i care. *sniffle*
Wendy... I didn't mean to be hurtful.... tell you what. I'll continue to do your thinking, and you can have my share of chocolate.
Is that better? =)
hmmmm... i suppose. i'd say i would think about it, but well that's a bit circular isn't it?
There are times when I think I've come a long way, when I've made progress with my true self only to find I'm still right back where I was three years, five years or more, ago. It frustrates me sometime and then I realize that my reasoned and rational response is so much better than I would have done three years, five years or more, ago. Sometimes it just reaches up and surprises you. Very nice writing.
