Freaking Out

topic posted Mon, January 24, 2005 - 9:59 PM by  Ferrara
"On a personal level, Freaking Out is a process whereby an individual casts off outmoded and restricting standards of thinking, dress, and social etiquette in order to express CREATIVELY his relationship to his immediate environment and the social structure as a whole."

        Actually Kris Kristofferson (not Janis) wrote that song 'Me & Bobby McGee'

        And in those terms, once America has been brought down to the level of an impoverished third world nation, we may indeed know freedom at last!...

            It's almost like people should start preparing, however, not everyone is ready to be unplugged.

              I must apologize for the previous post of mine. I just looked at it today and wasn't satisfied with it. It reads like Jessica Simpson explaining The Marix. In my defense, I was stoned. Again...sorry.

                are you implying that Jessica Simpson is a pot head?... it would explain a lot but I was under the impression she was born that dumb... :p

                  touche! :)

                  But it is helpful to know what level a person's consciousness is at when the person is trying to convey thoughts when we are all limited to words. Not even the inflictions in tone and emotion can be heard. Just words.

                    To clarify: I was not suggesting that YOU were acting like an asshole - There is a big difference between saying something stupid (I do it frequently enough and I don't even take drugs) and acting like an asshole (something I try not to do) - Just so you know what I was trying to convey (Was 'inflictions' a deliberate pun? or not?)...

                                  hey, I too think 'down n dirty' belongs with freaking out and being a vagabond. And certainly it's a proud tradition, tho' historically dangerous, among dissidents. If you mean sex when you write down n dirty, I'm all for it.

                                  And it means more things than that! Myself, I like mud wrestling among women, when it comes to spectator sports.

                                  guess I agree that when it gets personal, it belongs someplace else, I guess? but someday my prince will come in the sunshine, too.

                                  I liked reading "inflictions" too. I like this tribe!
