A very Dull Roar

Master was at work early, worked until the afternoon, worked out, wenthome, *did laundry* (i am a lucky slave to have a Master who would dolaundry to help a sick and drowning-in-work slave!) made & atedinner alone, dealt with some small time crap and then had to go back towork.

i got to see Master for about 20 minutes today and the whole time wewere together was focused on small time crap. What a fucking waste. i'mangry at myself for getting sucked in to some small time crap thatisn't even worth talking about. i shouldn't have been surprised.

Now it's 8:20 pm and i won't get to see Him until late tomorrow. Or more likely Friday.

i'm pluggin' away through the Henry Rollins book, A Dull Roar. Masterread that one not too long ago and asked me to read it. It's a hardread. i really like Henry, he was/is a big influence in my life for alot of years. (Despite having made me wet my pants once. Yes, it's trueand it was non-consensual) It's difficult for me to read how hardeverything is for him. However, since he and i have a lot in common(depression, rage, fear of people, love of good music and deep hatredof bullshit) it's been really good for me to see how he deals with thatand what lessons i can apply to my own life.

Reading this made me look up the old article from Details magazineabout Iron and the mind. i'm not linking to it, if you want to read itjust google Iron+Henry Rollins. You'll find it.  Just a tiny snippit:"People have become separated from their bodies. They are no longerwhole.I see them move from their offices to their cars and on to theirsuburban homes. They stress out constantly, they lose sleep, they eatbadly. And they behave badly. Their egos run wild; they becomemotivated by that which will eventually give them a massive stroke.They need the Iron Mind." (i think Joe Cornish would like this article! Hint Hint!)

i'm certainly not saying the Henry has all the answers, i know that HEwould never say that, but there are some nuggets of truth to be gleanedfrom a person who has lived life so hard and takes those truths he'sworked out for himself so seriously. i'm glad Master asked me to read this one. It's done me a world of good.
