I put in XIU XIU's "fabulous muscles" to eviscerate the frustration of the election results. The album goes through so much trauma,humility, bitterness,tenderness, silliness, adoration, vulnerability, and spite its hard to go through it all at once. I want to sing "bunny gamer" to some ones. Such a humiliating song. "It sounds retarded, I wanted ( Read more... )

I agree with this whole humbling through humiliation point.
Touche.

I find myself angry after humiliation and try to justify my anger. Sometimes,after a while, I realise i had grossly presummed too much in the first place or was ill informed. It scares me how Bush is SO unable to do this.

*avoids rant about Texans, but you all know it's true...I've yet to meet one with humility...prove me wrong?

Exactly. It's all about flexibility.
I really don't like how people, from whatever party, tend to think that a leader HAS to be unflinchingly stuck to their ideals.. it's not a bad thing of course, but in a country like this you HAVE to be flexible and be able to compromise so that everyone can at least live with it. Bush is not the most flexible guy, as the past 4 years has proven. This is what scares me about him.

The most humbling experience in your life isn't always the most humiliating

Losing my car and ability to drive definitely pales in comparison to a few other things I've dealt with.

I love how we grew up thinking "hmm, this bad things happened, we're bad, what did we do wrong?" then when you're an adult, the veil is lifted, so to speak, and we're supposed to now follow the idea that "we learn from our trials". But the two get so fucking mixed up, ergo shame, guilt, feelings of self-hatred.

I aint never gonna win that ten-speed.

i don't really think bad events are the same as humbling events. i think when we do things with such conviction believing we're right and then get proved wrong ....thats more what I'm talking about... I'm thinking about Bush as an example of what mainstream christianity is becoming. much like the Lds church where all these financial models of success get played out as modern parables of spiritual "progress"="profit". Bush only admits his success and never owns up to his failures. anyway thats really the history of christianity...new cultures twist it to fit their designs. Humility is such a chrisitian emotion. based on christian narrative.
