Wet dirt and fresh ozone: a remedy for the still m

Journal Entry: Fri Mar 23, 2007, 12:04 AM
Edmund Burke's "Enquiry into the Sublime and Beautiful" brings up the concept of clear expression versus strong expression. I have never been one for clear expression but that's what the world revolves around. 8.1 Megapixels and 24" LCD screens and 2.59 and 9/10ths for a gallon of gasoline. Maybe that's why I feel like I don't fit into this world so well.

Ever feel like no matter how hard you try to express or explain yourself and your actions/emotions/thoughts, you just can't?

I find it's the hardest to apologize. This is because to overcome the strong expressions you've made in the past, you have to stir up even stronger expressions to override the previous ones. And when those previous statements were an absolute truth. When they were words that belonged to passion and things as they were felt; when they were words that 'raised a a very great degree of the sublime', it's hard to find more words to override those previous expressions. And for that, for that incapability I am burdened with, I am sorry.

One day the dormant writer that exists somewhere in the back of my mind ,who furiously scribbles vacant and erratic details onto scraps of paper that don't exist, will return.

I'm just not sure when.<3

I used to stand for something
Now I'm on my hands and knees
Traded my god in for this one
And he signs his name with a capital G

It could be that the strongest expressions are clear only to the expressor, and completely unexplainable to the expressee, for they cannot possibly share the exact same feelings and levels of them at time when expression is being expressed. However, it could also be that expressee may not be empathically inclined, or even stubborn.
