(i know - you arent supposed to like it)

so for me - the threshold is probably shorter than for most.
and the older i get the shorter it gets .. there just isnt any place in my world for it. i cant even watch the fucking news.

i know that the well travelled viewer likes seeing conventions get kicked in the teeth - i do to a point. to a point.


its just this simple - since having a child - i cant bear to see harm come to children - it hits me at home where i live.

not going to make any excuses for it - i just cant deal with it.

i dont think i need to poke around in the dark recesses of the mind .. the reptillian part where some curiosity needs to be sated .. i know from experience that certain images will haunt me for ever ..i dont want that.

the closest analogy i can come up with is that i've held my hand near a burning hot stove element. I've felt the heat ... and from that i've determined that i dont need the experience of actually grabbing onto it - burning the shit out of my hand in the process and permanently scarring myself - to know its probably not the right thing for me to do. i'm not going to like the sensation.

Another topic where I only have to quote urge.


creepy


cept for the DISCO thing .......I will never get that.
