Circus! Circus! — You can see a lot of Essential Life Scripts as Vaudeville routines - Other players appear from out of the blue like wind-up toys trying to punish you  - You just wind them up and they do whatever they're doing - It's the Squeeze Play: You're no good, they're good! - They're just pretending to see you, from some sneaky, cruel, inwardly amused narcissistic dream.

 

NOTES TO MYSELF

PSYCHOLOGICAL AGE

CLASS

[narcissistic setup questions] - This happens to everyone who overworks - Getting manic - Running away from feeling bad - Because there's hell to pay when you run out of energy - So people are constantly demoting other people to office boy & preparing children for a life of slavery by hitting them - And if they didn't hit you, it's harder, because you have to be the captain of your soul, and the master of your fate - "I don't think you get anywhere going outside yourself, because you're running away from what's inside you." (–David Daniels) - "They always think there's something [on the outside] that's going to make them feel good."

31-JUL-1999.

A Bed of Roses

I remember one of those cool autumn evenings in Boston. I had just gotten a divorce, and was learning how to cook for myself the way an adult would — you know, green onions, three kinds of lettuce, and just the leaves of Italian parsley, not the stems, thank you — when I encountered a young girl half a block from where I lived as I trudged home with the groceries. She suddenly appeared before me with two puppies in either arm, cuddled to her chest. "Which one do you like better?" she beamed.

I glanced at another girl, who had walked up behind her, and without hesitation, seeing how cute she was, pointed at the friend.

Well, both girls went into shock for about 2.5 seconds, then the second girl giggled, and I turned and walked away. Now, I know, I really should have said something diplomatic like,

"—Both!"

but I just couldn't help myself.

I strongly suspect some of my readers will take this material and try to be PERFECT with it, and perfect is DEAD!

The idea is to tumble backwards into a bed of roses, without controlling yourself to death — Lord knows we'll die soon enough. So when that cute little girl at McDonald's demurely asks, "Would you like fries with your meal?" by all means say something wrong, like,

"—Maybe.

—If you come over and feed 'em to me."
