if you are taking a graduate exam and you have to frantically flag me to your testing station to ask me if you are required to take a section titled “optional research”…. if you have to ask what that means, i should be allowed to burst into laughter.

everyone is yelling at me today. every single thing i have done is a mess. i just want to give up and wait for tomorrow. of course i can’t do this. i never really get to do what i want anyway. i was happy 2 days ago. giggling over completely ridiculous crushes, there isn’t much of a chance for that to work out. by today i am almost depressed about it. maybe i’m too old for these things. i know better. i have no idea what i was thinking letting myself giggle over adorable things.
oh well. back to the empty heart happy hour life i was living

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]one of my all time favorite songs.
went to see them with a good friend (brunkasaurs) in Athens. the guitar strings broke so the whole crowd just clapped the beat and he sang this song. i fell in love right then….
The Mountain Goats - This Year
Odd, I noticed that The Mountain Goats performed on The Colbert Report promoting their newest album. Apparently each track is named after a bible verse.
I was a big fan of The Mountain Goats a few years ago; I recall seeing them one night at the Doug Fir and claiming the show “changed my life”.
I listen to them every so often now and to this song especially when I feel like I’m getting overwhelmed with life.

For Jerry’s birthday: Ryan Adams and The Cardinals, Peaceful Valley, Columbus OH 10/25/07
Phil said that he loves Ryan because he feels the spirit of Jerry whenever he plays with him.
This version of PV is a good example of that energy, I think.
(I have to post the lofi version because the vbr mp3 runs to 12 MB. But you can go get the better version - and the whole show - here).

I want to share my experience so that other women in the same situation know that there is hope and there is help available to anyone who has been abused emotionally physically, verbally and any other form of abuse.
It is never ok to be abused in any situation, whether you grew up with it or you find yourself in an unhealthy relationship. You should NEVER make excuses for anyone who abuses you because it doesn’t matter what there reason is. I have been there, I was abused for many years and I understand the pyschology of it.
I can sympathize with the fear and dispair regardless or not if you have children with this person. If this person abuses you and you have children and you allow them to witness these events you are allowing permanent emotional damage to affect your child. If they abuse you it is only a matter of time before they start abusing your children.
Sometimes you are so emotionally battered than it is easier to allow physical abuse to happen because it destroys your self esteem and sense of preservation. It is a vicious cycle that needs to be broken, and only you can be the one to break it. It will not be easy, but it is necessary.
These people see you as an object to use and abuse and not as a person who has feelings. By allowing them to abuse you, you are giving them the power to continue to abuse. They feed off of power and control because they most likely did not have it in their own personal lives. I am on the other side now, I am safe from my ex’s abuse.
It is still not easy, now I have to deal with the consequences of the abuse because now that I am no longer in that harmful situation I have to deal with the emotional scars left on my child and myself.
The physical scars are gone but the emotional ones will not fade so easily. I grew up thinking abuse from my spouse was ok because i grew up in a household where I witnessed alot of domestic violence.
I know now that it was not ok, and I am a better person for it. I now have the strength to protect myself and my child from any form of abuse that may come our way, and no longer will I stand for it.
I will be posting more of my thoughts and experiences in greater detail in the future. I will also post links and information about help for those victims of abuse. I know how it feels, I know how embarrassing it feels to ask for help, but I also know that you will benefit greatly from it. Don’t become a statistic, and don’t let anyone take control from you.
