time capsule


stolen from fuzzybumblebee

say you were going to create a time capsule. A box within a box, in a stasis field so that within the capsule nothing would age. You want whomever will find it to have a decent idea of what kind of person you were. Two restrictions:
1. You cannot leave any written record behind.
2. You may only place twelve objects into the box.
-------------------------------------------------------

1. my cd "spool forka dish"
2. my cd "cake and eat it"
3. my cd "anavoog.com"
4. my cd "introducing sorrow"
5. a packet of japanese incense
6. a cd containing all the photos in ana2
7. a lock of pooka fur
8. a hat i crocheted
9. a painting i made
10. my black engineer boots
11. my stuffed vintage panda bear named japan (yes, i know pandas are from china)
12. my obsidian orb

my response:

rock and roll had always been about sex.
plenty of men have worn next to nothing and pranced around and writhed. men have always been doing this in rock and roll.

what makes ME angry is the double standard i constantly see in rock and roll that it is totally fine for men to do this and still be taken seriously, but as soon as woman does it , then it's all about "oh, she must be doing this to sell records" and "why isn't it enough that she just sing?"

men have been doing all of this all along. look at mick jagger, look at iggy pop or david bowie, look at queen, look at led zeppelin or prince., etc etc etc etc. elvis presley was considered horribly shocking in his day. look at the red hot chili peppers.
look at all the men who simulate sex on stage or act like they are masturbating while they play their guitars.

why do men do this? because #1 it's fun and gets them laid #2 it selld records #3 it's rock and roll! since when is rock and roll not about sex and drugs and MONEY all that good stuff?

women do it for the same reasons. of course they do it for the money and shock and everything else. you think the rolling stones don't or any of the other male rockers?

does anyone sit and bitch about men being sluts and doing it for money or question "who made them do it? the managers?" does anyone think these men are not credible musicians in their own right just because they are sexual? no.

WHY oh WHY oh WHY do people think these women are such puppets that it MUST be then "big smart powerful men" behind them "making" them do these things?
when are MEN ever looked at in this way?

who says " oh, it must be the men BEHIND julio iglesias MAKING him pick up all those underwear thrown at him and grinding his hips".

but with women, well, it's a whole different story.
women should just get by on their singing alone.
or if they CAN'T sing, well, THEN they can be "sluts" because they need to then.
but if you can actually sing or play an instrument then god forbid you should convey yourself in a sexual way. and god FORBID you should do it for MONEY or SHOCK.
because, ya, rock and roll has NEVER been about that.

i'm not sure what i was laughing at so hard in that picture but i think it was the saturday night live sketch where they did a spoof on the sopranos and all the members of the sopranos were having a hard time remembering what had happened last season since so much time had passed between seasons. oh my, i don't think i've seen anything that funny on saturday night in years :)

woke up this morning screaming help, tho, because i was dreaming i was about to be raped.

god, i'm so sick of having nightmares.

i need more comedy in my life. not more nightmares.
