in which I whine a lot

nigeltdeThe guy who first played me Bob Dylan's brilliant "It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" said it was Dylan's scattershot attack on all the repellent figures and institutions of his day. What's sick is that it's just as relevant forty years on. How much has changed? Things have really only become worse, especially in regards to the ever-increasing influence/stranglehold corporations have on us and the constant toadying of governments to them. My favourite verse:
Old lady judges watch people in pairs
Limited in sex, they dare
To push fake morals, insult and stare
While money doesn't talk, it swears
Obscenity, who really cares
Propaganda, all is phony.
First three lines remind you of any recent news events heralding from Lafayette?
Anyway, the moon is full tonight and there are a few of just the right sort of clouds to have a silver lining, and it's nice to be reminded that as ugly as people get the natural world will always be stunning (until we ruin it).
1. Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it.
2. Am I loveable?
3. How long have you known me?
4. When and how did we first meet?
5. What was your first impression?
6. Do you still think that way about me now?
7. What do you think my weakness is?
8. Do you think I'll get married?
9. What makes me happy?
10. What makes me sad?
11. What reminds you of me?
12. If you could give me anything what would it be?
13. How well do you know me?
14. When's the last time you saw me?
15. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?
16. Do you think I could kill someone?
17. Describe me in one word.
18. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger/weaker/or staying the same?
19. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?
20. Are you going to put this on your livejournal and see what I say about you?
