side note to him: "sometimes I don't know where you're coming from..." answer: isn't that the whole (my) point. I'll prove 'em wrong...as I always have.
Ministry?!!? Really Al? You are the KISS of faux-industrial bands/men, outliving your born on, relevant when, and expired by dates . . . not to mention your guitarist and a driving force behind your few recent stabs at relevance. I would prefer Lard, or even an irony-free traipse back though your affected English accent days. "(Every Day is) Halloween," anyone?
Metalboy!, let me know when you start taking reservations for a spot on that bus. It sounds like a grand escape when the music gets cloying. Taste in music being what it is, you can probably do split shifts and still throw a wonderful party.
And, wow, Fletch. Wow. That is a reference to a nearly month old post. You do keep things in the memory hamper (angry things, dark things, set close by the lucid ones). But sometimes, yes sometimes, you do seem to be firing on cylinders only you can buy and of which only you can hear the rhythmic logic. Prove on, Fletch. Prove on.
"Back in my day", as people say, the abuse and assaults were mostly handled differently than they are today. When I was targeted because of a stupid erection in the showers, couple with my poor reaction and ill-handling of the ensuing assaults, the administration, an many levels, believed I was the one at fault and subsequently I was required my to attend three years of weekly therapy in order to remain at that hell hole of a school. And, get this, much of the therapy centered on me "learning to IGNORE the abuse and assaults". No once, did any professional considere alerting law enforcement that I was being victimized: verbally, physically, and sexually. No, a priest was not fucking me in the confessional, but some kids were grabbing my ass, grabbing my dick, shoving their dicks up against my ass, exposing themselves to me asking if I like it, and so forth. These assaults happened almost daily. And each week, I was reporting this abuse to a therapist in order for me to not be expelled from school and learning to "ignore it" or "react better". The lesson was that I was the problem, not them. And this lesson was reinforced over and over again by the administration's actions, rather lack of action.
Currently, in today's headlines, I now get a sense of relief when I see some school districts, like Sayresville High recently, taking hazing much more seriously by contacting law enforcement and cancelling entire sporting seasons. No frickin way would that have happened 30 years ago.
Speaking of 30 years ago (sort of). I was on a facebook chat, recently, with a bunch of kids I went to school with as we were discussing an upcoming reunion. After a while of back and forth facebook chatter another classmate joined the conversation and rage overtook me when I saw him join the discussion. I blasted him in the thread for this treatment of me of many years ago. I was wrong for doing this, but he immediately and humbly offered a very sincere apology and promised me that he would to teach his children better respect for others. I couldn't have asked for more...until moments later a couple people (all female) began attacking me and defending his actions toward me ostensibly saying that I deserved it. Three of 'em even "unfriended" me on facebook afterward, but you wanna talk irony, 5 other people (3 females, 2 males) who were involved in this discussion immediately sent me facebook friend requests.
Anyway, I've bored you long enough. I don't harbor darkness as "him" alleges. Yes, sometimes, on some days, on a few levels, I do believe what happened to me was my fault, but that is not why I share what I share, say what I say, act the way I act. I do these things because I think many of you can relate to my story and hopefully can find comfort in yours. But, more importantly, I know that there are kids in almost every high school who are currently experiencing similar abuse, similar misguided therapists, and similar baggage to handle. Y'know, until a few years ago, I couldn't even admit that the first time I took a community shower, I sported some wood because of the shame I felt, now look at me. Trust me, the sun does shine through the rain...I'm living proof.
inhale, exhale. Count to ten. Ingore it. You're better than them. Let it go. Do it back to them (yeah that worked). And on, and on, and on...
Hey fuckers, I gave you fair warning. Fuck you monica. On, and Chris, I'm so glad about your sobriety, but please stop "speaking for the majority".
Him: hamper time, sorry. Metalboy taught me. She hates when I post that. My bad. Oh, someone just pinched my ass cheek...again.
and a mighty sincere thank you to those who protected me and stood up for me. you know who you are.
Thanks for the reply. You at least clarified some things.
