An Account of an Experience in Hue, August 2018. Part One: Mandi Bunga

It was a clear day when Sharon came home from Vietnam. The sun was blinding white. All the way home from the airport, she held my hand tight.

We asked our cab driver to make two stops: once, at a shop that sold Hindu prayer supplies, so she could buy chrysanthemums; another, at a fruit stand, so she could buy kaffir limes.

Sharon would not step through our front gate. I had to fetch rock salt and bucket of water from the kitchen.

She scrubbed herself with salt. She sliced the limes; plucked the flowers; swirled them both into the water. She had me pour this mixture over her head. She still had her clothes on. There were flowers in five colours.

She stood in the sun, gasping and shining. She sprinkled her luggage bag, her other belongings. I washed the flowers and limes off the tar of our street, so they could go into the earth

As she towelled herself, Sharon sighed and said: “I feel better. But I am worried about sunset.”

+

Sharon was in Vietnam for a Southeast Asia-Japan art and research exchange trip.

A Japanese art collective organised it. There were Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai and Malaysian attendees -- but the bulk of participants were Japanese.

When she was there, Sharon and her colleagues were attacked by a supernatural entity. The experience shook her. Now we sleep with the bedside lamp on, at night.

A month later, she still finds it difficult to talk about Vietnam:

+

“The Japanese artists had visited Hue before. They got a Vietnamese artist to organise some a tour. The last part of the tour was a visit to a cemetery.

We ended up being an hour behind schedule, so it was around twilight when we were at the cemetery. After a short explanation of what the place was, our Vietnamese-artist guide warned us: “Oh be careful to stick together. You don’t want to get lost in here.”

It was a very big cemetery. The scale of it -- I’ve seen big graves before, but not so many together. Imagine your typical Chinese graves, but ten times the size.

They were like mausoleums. Decorated by garish mosaics. A city. The ground was sand, so we must’ve been near the sea. The sand got into my jelly shoes.

The atmosphere was strangely grey. Total cloud cover, so the lighting was very flat. There were no shadows.

Me and M, one of the Japanese artists, were the last two people out of the cemetery. I remember that as we were walking back to the bus she kept stopping, lingering. When I was past the entrance markers I saw her staring, looking back.

She seemed really interested in the place. I thought that interest was her just being an artist.”

+

Sharon left her jelly shoes behind, in a bin, in Vietnam.

+

“That same night, there was a gathering at the hotel, in one of the Japanese artists’ rooms, for drinks. We jokingly called that room ‘The Bar’. The whiskey they had was very good.

I was the only Southeast Asian there. So most of the conversation was in Japanese, once in a while they’d switch to English, for my benefit.

M arrived late. When she did, I saw them all asking her: ‘Are you okay? Is everything okay?’

Which was weird. Did something happen? So I asked her: ‘Oh what happened, M?’

I was sitting on the floor. When she came in M lay down on one of the beds, on her stomach. She started talking to me, and me only, in English. She said: ‘Oh I’m fine. I’ve just been getting messages from a guy from a long time ago.’

‘Oh, I’m sorry to hear that,’ I said.

She sighed. ‘What would you do if you got messages like this? He said I look like Utada Hikaru.’

I was sympathetic. I thought she was talking about an ex. ‘Don’t push your feeling away, you know?’ I told her. ‘Just accept you feel sad about it. That sadness will come and go.’

I remember her staring at me very intently. It wasn’t a malicious look -- just very searching. ‘Do I look like me?’ she asked, pointing at herself.

‘Yes, I think you look fine,’ I said.

‘You don’t think I look like someone else?’

‘No, I don’t.’

She got off the bed and sat up. One of the other Japanese artists massaged her back. At the end of this massage she did a throwing-away gesture: pulling something out of M’s back, tossing it away -- ‘Hah!’

Like throwing away bad juju? Shaking off the heartbreak, I thought.

I left The Bar, and that night I slept like a baby.”

+

“The next day we had a full day of discussions and sharings.

At dinner, the Southeast Asians sat together. On the far end of the table, the Japanese artists talked among themselves. From what I could hear and understand, they seemed to be telling ghost stories. I thought they were entertaining themselves.

Walking back to the hotel, T, an artist from Thailand, walked with me. ‘I don’t know what we are doing,” she said. ‘We shouldn’t have gone to the cemetery.’

This was when I realised that something had happened. Something had happened to M, and M had told T about it.

M was walking with us, too. I caught up to her. I asked her again: ‘Are you okay?’

‘I was haunted at the cemetery,’ M said to me. ‘I told the organisers about it. When I told them, they said I looked like a man.’

This was what M told me:

The day before, at the cemetery, walking around, M felt suddenly rooted to a spot. She doesn’t smoke -- but she asked one of the other artists for a cigarette. It wasn’t her will to ask.

She stood there, smoking. ‘I cannot move,’ M thought. ‘Is somebody going to come and save me?’ ”

+

“I felt angry. The Japanese artists were treating us Southeast Asia as a setting, us Southeast Asians as content for their art programme.

They expected us to tell them about our histories and cultures and stories. But they didn’t trust us, they couldn’t bring themselves to be vulnerable to us.

They wanted to use our stories for their art. But they also didn’t want to believe in our stories.

That whole day, all the Japanese artists knew about M. She had told the organisers! But, instead of telling us, instead of asking the Vietnamese artists for help, the Japanese artists decided to keep it among themselves. Keep quiet.

Rather than take care of M, their friend, they went ahead with the exchange programme. As if nothing happened.”

+

“After dinner, while I was in the shower, a thought dropped into my head. ‘Oh, maybe we can all do mandi bunga,’ I thought.

I was reluctant to follow this thought. I didn’t want to make things worse for anybody. Didn’t want to scare people. This place, Hue -- it wasn’t my land. I didn’t know how things were handled, here.

We were going to have drinks at The Bar again. The Southeast Asian artists met up in my room, before heading there.

S, an Indonesian artist, was very concerned for M. “Should we ask the Vietnamese for help?” she asked.

But the art exchange was almost over. We were scheduled to fly home the next day. What if things escalated? What if M had to miss her flight, stay back? Go back to that cemetery?

T said to me: ‘If you had the thought to do mandi bunga, you should do it.’

I had been given a bunch of flowers the very same day.

‘I’ll bring these along,’ I said, pointing at the bunch. ‘Just in case. I’ll tell them it is a play-play, folk thing that we do. Just like throwing salt over your shoulder.’ ”

+

Mandi bunga -- a simple flower bath, performed to wash away bad fortune and perfume oneself for good energy -- is the ritual Sharon enacted again outside our front gate, two days later, gasping and shining in the sun.

+

“The atmosphere at The Bar was really as if nothing happened. Somebody had bought a bag of mangosteens, to try. ‘Oh hi, oh hi!’ Normal Japanese small talk -- that surface, that distance -- ‘Oh yes, have another drink!’

The organisers of the programme weren’t there. M wasn’t there.

So I asked: ‘Where’s M?’

‘Oh she’s in her room,’ they said. Then they started looking searching at us. ‘Oh, why? What have you heard?’ They were still trying to figure out what we knew, and what to tell us.

S said: ‘Trust us.’

I tried to put them at ease. ‘I was too unthinking, stepping into the cemetery like that, yesterday,’ I said. ‘We should’ve been more careful.’

One of the Japanese artists said: ‘Oh but it was nothing. I don’t get affected by things like that.’

‘But other people did,’ I said. ‘You don’t care about them?’

T said: ‘If any of you are scared tonight, you shouldn’t sleep alone.’

The Japanese artists looked at us, and at each other. ‘This is heavy,’ one of them said, finally.

‘It is lighter if we carry it together,’ I said.”

+

“M arrived soon after. We asked her: ‘So how are you feeling now?’

‘Feels okay,’ she said. Nobody was convinced of this.

‘You need to bring it out into the light,’ I said.

At which she got visibly annoyed. ‘This is very difficult to talk about!’ she said. ‘You shouldn’t force people to talk about it!’

‘I’m sorry,’ I said.

She looked down and said: ‘No, no no. It is not your fault.’ Then she saw the bag of mangosteens. ‘Oh, I want one! My favourite fruit!’

I looked at her closely. I watched her. She fumbled with the fruit. She didn’t know how to open it. You are supposed to twist a mangosteen open. But she was crushing it. The juice was staining all her fingers.

‘Let me help you,’ I said. ‘I’m surprised you like mangosteens. When did you first try them?’

‘Oh when I was in Thailand with my grandfather!’ M said.

Then she went quiet, and corrected herself: ‘I mean. My ex-boyfriend.’

Nothing she said was impossible. But when she said it, I felt a chill.”

+

“We put some Stevie Wonder music on.

I gave M and the other Japanese artists my explanation. I said: ‘Okay, there is this thing we do, called mandi bunga’ -- just a simple cleansing ritual.

We didn’t have a bucket or a tub, so I adapted it. We did it in the bathroom sink. I put the flower blossoms in the sink, and put the tap on so we had constant running water. I got the Japanese artists to line up. Wash their faces and hands, one at a time.

Things began to lighten up. We started to be able to joke about it. ‘Things are okay,’ somebody said.

‘It’s all just energies,’ somebody else said.

There was the splashing water, and Stevie Wonder singing in the background. When M washed, I asked her how she felt. She said she felt renewed, lighter.

Afterwards I threw the flower petals into the dustbin.”

+

“The other Japanese artists were very taken by the ritual.

One of them kept saying: ‘Sharon, Sharon, this is so interesting, I want to highlight this mandi bunga in an arts festival. This is so interesting.’

I thanked her. But also I remember thinking: ‘Oh, so this is just another piece of content for you?’

The mood in The Bar had changed again. There were smiles. People were now excitedly talking about other types of cleansing rituals.

Another Japanese artist revealed that she had trained as a medium at a temple, during her student days. ‘I learned this dance, to exorcise bad spirits,’ she said. ‘They used to wear these dresses, with white tops.”

‘Oh, I know which ones,’ M said. ‘They are red trouser skirts with white tops. Let me Google them, to show you.’

Meanwhile, the former medium had stood up. She began to take us through the steps of the dance, one by one. Everybody in the room watched her. Things were fun again. I noticed that M was staring at her phone. She had found an image of the dress: red trouser skirt, white top. She hit refresh, and the image refreshed.

She hit refresh, and the image refreshed. Refresh, refresh, refresh.

That’s all she kept doing, the whole time we watched her friend dancing.”

+

As she talked, recalling that night, Sharon mimed M’s motion for me. Eyes rooted at a phone screen, brows locked in worry, trapped and unable to move, except to refresh, refresh. Refresh. Refresh.

“they’re all liars here”

I know this is old, OLD news, but it turns out I’m actually never going to get over The Show giving Sandor Clegane’s backstory explanation & “they’re all liars here” line to Littlefinger. I mean ... bad enough that you deprive a character of a scene so staggeringly significant to his characterization that you literally auditioned the actor by that scene ... but of ALL the characters to then transfer those lines to ... Why. WHY.

Because, okay. This is just a rough and unedited spilling of thoughts, so forgive me for not being terribly academic and thorough here, but look: the themes of truth and lies are central to Sansa’s character arc in the books. (Unless otherwise specified, everything I discuss here is from book-canon, btw.) Sandor and LF likewise both play significant roles in her storyline and are both involved in the truth/lies theme, but in rather different ways. When the Hound says that line about liars, it’s coming from the established context that he’s a guy who supposedly abhors lies and liars; a guy who — when alone with her, at least — often tries to break through Sansa’s armor of courtesy and elicit truthful reactions, even if they’re unpleasant ones. And yet, despite the famous “a hound will die for you but never lie to you” line ... Sandor actually lies a lot. Especially in public. Regardless of whether he completely buys his own cynicism when he says shit like “killing is the sweetest thing there is,” he definitely lies more than once in service of protecting Sansa. And so here, as he calls Sansa out on being a bad liar, it’s hypocritical but also extremely reflective of the fact that Sandor is a deeply broken former romantic: he disdains lying because he was made to feel that the honest, honorable world he once believed in was itself a lie, but he feels that lying is necessary because the world’s terrible, so you have to be terrible to survive in it, so better get good at being terrible. It’s a worldview directly opposed to Sansa’s own idealism / romanticism and her tendency to show humanity even to those who frighten her or have harmed her ... And ultimately, I think Sansa — and the narrative — pretty definitively prove Sandor’s cynicism wrong. 

Whatever The Show may be, I think that ASoIaF is not a grimdark, cynical work on the whole. There’s a lot of awful, terrible things in it, yes, but I think we’ll see a triumph of kinder values in the end. After all, "The North Remembers” is not a statement just about revenge, but about honor and loyalty. Ned was merciful and honorable and he died an unjust death for it, and in the short term, that seems to make a good case for being cynical and ruthless ... but in the long term, we see that House Stark and its silly honor have inspired a loyalty that unites and motivates and endures. Likewise, the promise of healing/renewal trumps cynicism/destruction with the “death” of the Hound persona and the claim that Sandor Clegane has found peace. “The Hound,” now an identity currently being shuffled around between some pretty bad dudes, proved to be 1) a persona false enough that Sandor was able to shed it and survive without it, and 2) far worse than the actual man underneath.

The way Sandor uses falsehoods is actually not unlike Sansa’s porcelain / ivory / steel sentiment or her aloof, self-effacing “armor of courtesy.” Both are means of protecting oneself against the dangers (both physical and emotional) of a world that has proven itself to be far crueler than Sansa believed it to be before Ned’s death or that Sandor believed when he was just a kid who wanted so badly to be a knight. I do think it’s possible LF started out with something of the same mindset; there’s some indication he too might’ve been a romantic as a child, the underdog dueling for the sake of true love and all. If Sandor wields lies as a shield, however — a means of protecting Sansa from physical threats and himself from emotional ones — then to Littlefinger, lies are a dagger hidden in his sleeve. Far from viewing it as a necessary evil, he’s weaponized mendacity and made manipulation into an art. And, of course, he too has the duality of a “true face” and a persona ... but which is which?

“Littlefinger was only a mask he had to wear. Only sometimes Sansa found it hard to tell where the man ended and the mask began. Littlefinger and Lord Petyr looked so very much alike. She would have fled them both, perhaps, but there was nowhere for her to go.” Sansa doesn’t know which identity is LF’s true face (if indeed either is), nor whether EITHER face can be trusted. It’s a pretty big difference compared to the way she always managed to get under the Hound’s skin and, even without seeming to know that she was doing it sometimes, connect with his true self (see: “he was no true knight,” the Mother’s Hymn, etc.). And it’s under LF’s tutelage, of course, that she (necessarily) develops her own persona of Alayne the bastard girl — an ability which grows out of the skills she developed in King’s Landing, where she improved her armor of courtesy and her ability to remain impassive and seemingly docile for the sake of survival. LF, however, encourages her to take a more proactive role in plotting and scheming, to be on the offense rather than the defense, treating her as something of a protege — a protege he still controls for now, though of course it’s widely speculated that she may prove his undoing in the end.

Truth and lies, questions of identity, etc ... It’s all very tangled. And maybe on the surface it seems like there’s not much difference in having Sandor say “they’re all liars here” versus Petyr saying “we’re all liars here.” But they’re just such different characters that I think the line carries a very different weight depending on who the speaker is, what his attitude about lying is, and why (or whether) he wants Sansa to improve at it. It’s just kind of wild to me that The Show gave that line to a character who plays such an opposite role in that thematic aspect of Sansa’s arc. Not to mention that it’s one of those lines that, even fairly early on, hints at the fact that Sandor is much smarter than most other characters give him credit for. Pity the show stripped him of moments that show his insight and complexity like that.

And, I mean, goes without saying that giving Sandor’s backstory monologue to LF 1) made no sense, how does LF even know any of that, has he been gossiping with Gregor, god knows Sandor wouldn’t tell, and 2) erased the foundation of Sandor having any particular bond with Sansa, making their season 2 scenes kind of baffling, but whatever, the show didn’t adapt half their ACoK scenes anyway and also seems to have forgotten that they ever knew one another, so I guess it doesn’t matter in the end.

2701. What does ‘equal’ mean? >> Taking random pieces of the 5000q survey is fun. Anyway, I’m not Google. 2702. Do you believe in the phrase 'all men are created equal’? >> I believe in striving, despite biological and social conditioning, to treat other human beings as equally as possible. Even if you don’t entirely succeed, the effort itself has effect. What about woman? >> See above. 2703. Have all persons been specifically 'created’? >> I don’t believe so, but I like the idea. 2704. Are all persons exactly equal? >> I think “people are all equal” doesn’t exactly sound logical. I think “all people should be treated with the same amount of respect, no matter their skin colour, their hormonal/genital configuration, their religious affiliation or lack thereof, their cultural ties, their national ties, their perceived intelligence, their health, or any other criterion a human could possibly use to set someone apart from themself” is what people mean, though, and yes, I agree with that.

2705. Or do they just have equal rights (in theory)? >> That’ll teach me not to read ahead. 2706. Does art reflect society or does society reflect art? >> I think it’s both, simultaneously. 2707. Are you living under a little black raincloud or a ray of sunshine? >> The weather is never constant, right? 2708. What do you wonder about? >> What don’t I wonder about? 2709. What is better..being single and free or being in love and responsible to another person? >> I don’t think either state is better than the other. Nor do I think the “free/un-free” dichotomy of thought is logical. Being in a committed relationship doesn’t restrict my freedom in any ways that I can’t handle or appreciate. A wild thing does not like being tamed, but a wild thing also appreciates having a home to come to, and appreciates not being a slave to survival instinct. A wild thing learns to adapt. 2710. What vitamins do you take? >> I don’t. 2711. In checkers..red or black? >> Meh. 2712. Is The Crow a great movie? >> It’s still one of my enduring favourites.  2713. Do you wear all black frequently? >> Yes, mostly unintentionally these days. 2714. Do you ever call yourself a poet, artist, or musician? >> Yes. Has your writing been published, your art been hung in a gallery or your band been signed? >> I’ve had art displayed in a gallery before. In SoHo. Sounds pretty fancy when I say it like that, right? (I’m not even lying or embellishing, it’s just the circumstances weren’t exactly merit-based or anything. If I had the patience to look for the photo, I’d paste it here.) Does it matter? >> Does it matter if my art is published/displayed? Eh, not particularly. 2715. When insects get into your house, do you kill them or catch them and take them ouside or leave them alone and let them live with you? >> Spiders I usually have to take outside for Sparrow’s sake; most other bugs I just leave alone. 2716. Name at least one person who’s birthday is in: Jan.- Feb.- Anubis. Mar.- Krister. Apr.- May- Me. And Lucian. And darzie. And Candace, I believe. June- July- Arthur, I think? Aug.- Dad. Vlad. Sigma. Sept- Oct- Sparrow. Nov- Phoenix. Valkenhayn. Dec- Caspyr. 2717. Which would you consider to be a worse criminal: a pedophile or a necrophile? >> Neither is a criminal, not inherently. What if it was between a pedophile, a necrophile and a murderer? >> A murderer, however, is a criminal, inherently. 2718. Do we start to die the day we are born or start to live the day we die? >> I think the former is more biologically sound. Both have poetic potential. 2719. Have you ever called your mom or dad a four letter word? >> Certainly not to his face. 2720. Do you believe america should go to war with iraq? >> Heh. 2721. Agree or disagree? (Bold is agree) “There is too much concern in courts for the rights of criminals.” “Abortion should be legal.” “The death penalty should be abolished.” “Marijuana should be legalized.” “It is important to have laws prohibiting homosexual relationships.” “The federal government should do more to control the sale of handguns.” “Racial discrimination is no longer a major problem in America.” “Wealthy people should pay a larger share of taxes than they do now.” “Colleges should prohibit racist/sexist speech on campus.” “Same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status.” “Affirmative action in college admissions should be abolished.” “The activities of married women are best confined to the home and family.” “People should not obey laws which violate their personal values.” “Federal military spending should be increased.” “Realistically, an individual can do little to bring about changes in our society.” Why did you agree or disagree to that last statement? >> I disagree because I think a certain amount of social change begins with oneself, and one’s household, and one’s social circle. A certain amount of social change also begins in legislation, and in media. But what one can do, to improve the lives of the people around oneself, to improve one’s community, that’s definitely important and often overlooked. 2722. Let’s say that after you die you become a spirit and you join all the other spirits. Not all of them have lived. You are talking to some who have never lived about how you HAVE lived. One of the spirits who has never lived says they think they will travel to earth in a human body soon and live. They ask you what three things on Earth should I be sure not to miss? You say… 1. Learning to accept both fear and love as intrinsic to the human condition will take you far and serve you well. 2. Look for the divine. Keep looking. Always look. You’ll see a lot of cool shit along the way. 3. Listen to a lot of music. Read a lot of books. Eat well and drink merrily. Do a drug or two. It’s such a short trip. 2723. What kind of ass is the sexiest (flat, round, tight, hard, meaty, juicy, small, big, stacked, packed, petite, barely there, curvey, muscular, etc.)? >> Hmm. 2724. Is there something beautiful and special about everyone? >> If one wants to find something beautiful, or something special, one will. If one doesn’t want to, one won’t.  If yes is there something beautiful and special about Hitler? >> If I were looking to find something beautiful, or something special, in Hitler, I guarantee you I’d find it. As it stands, though, I don’t really care. How about Bin Laden? >> See above. What is it? >> He likes Final Fantasy, apparently. There, you happy? 2725. Have you ever moshed? >> No. I know my place and my place is at the front row making heart eyes at the band. If yes to what bands? If no then would you ever? >> No. 2726. Do you like sushi? >> I like it fine, but not often. 2727. What mood are you in? >> An unremarkable one. Kinda worried that I didn’t get enough sleep, but that sort of thing usually works itself out. Also, I can get by on five hours just fine, it’s not even that big a deal. What does your mood depend on? >> Brain chemicals, sensory input, and circumstance. What depends on your mood? >> How I socialise, usually. 2728. wHAT IS faith? >> The belief in things often unseen or unverified. what is common sense? >> Paying attention, usually. But sometimes things labelled “common sense” are just things that people have been taught to believe or accept without question. Sometimes that works out all right in the end, but sometimes it really doesn’t. Do you have either or both of them? >> I have both, sure. (And both kinds of “common sense”, too.) 2729. Is perfection or imperfection more beautiful? >> First, I’d have to understand perfection (and I don’t). 2730. Would you think a person doing the following things has a healthy or unhealthy level of insanity? gives the finger while driving? I don’t think that’s insane, just rude. tells their life story to people they just met? I don’t think that’s insane, just socially frowned upon. walks up to people and tried to convert them to a religion? I don’t think that’s insane, just rude. says blah? I don’t think that’s insane, or even remarkable... 2731. Do you think this is a great line of poetry: “Journey with me into the mind of a maniac. Doomed to be a killer since I came out the nutsac” Why or why not? >> I don’t find it particularly interesting. 2732. Do you think that song lyrics are poems with music? >> Yes.  2733. In cases of rape which do you think is more of a crime: a stranger rapes a girl OR a girl’s boyfriend rapes her? >> Rape is a crime, period. There is no “more” or “less” illegal/harmful. It’s just illegal and harmful, and that’s that on that. 2734. Did you know that in the USA it is considered to be LESS of a crime if a rapist knows the victim (because it is 'less of a crime’ the rapist gets a less severe punishment)? Do you agree or disagree and why? >> If that’s true, then it sounds absolutely absurd to me. 2735. In the USA a few weeks ago a guy had beaten up and raped his girlfriend, for which he got 70 days of community service. He had been found guilty, got a year and a half of jail, BUT can you guess why his sentence was reduced to mere community service? He had a steady job. That’s right. He was found less guilty, because he had a long-term steady job. How does this make you feel? >> That’s an absurd way to serve justice. 2736. Does the character limit of notes or entries annoy you more? >> --- 2737. wHO’S YOUR FAVORITE WRESTLER? >> It’s always going to be The Rock, even though I don’t actually watch wrestling now that I no longer know the family that I knew that was obsessed with it. 2738. Have you ever been trapped in an elevator? >> No. 2739. What is more important, tact or honesty? >> That is circumstantial. 2740. Do you have a mentor? Who? >> No. 2741. If you like guys: would you rather have a 'bad’ guy (motorcycles, smokes, drinks, etc) or a 'good’ guy (family, domesticated, nice guy)? I’d rather not make people into character tropes. Would you rather have a virgin or a more experienced guy? -- If you like girls: Would you rather have a virgin or a more experianced girl? -- would you rather have a 'bad’ girl (motorcycles, smokes, drinks, etc) or a 'good’ girl (family, domesticated, nice girl)? -- 2742. Do you feel nervous in crowds? >> “Sensory overload” is a more appropriate term for what I feel in crowds. 2743. Did you write a real entry today? What about? Was it your best writing? >> (I think this survey was first posted on LiveJournal.) 2744. If you were making a 'best of’ entry about your BEST entries ever what would be your top 5 best entries? >> --- 2745. Do you like to play the lottery? >> No. 2746. Guess what? >> Hrm. 2747. Why did you choose to live one more day? >> I didn’t choose, exactly, but I’m certainly glad to do so. 2748. What is the most beautiful myth you have ever read/heard? >> The existence of myth is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever read/heard, period. 2749. Have you ever been stood up? >> Sure. 2750. Finish the following sentences any way you want. It’s always darkest before.. you turn the bathroom light on. Never underestimate the power of.. small insects in large groups. Don’t bite the hand that.. has poison on it. A miss is as good as a.. mister. If you lie down with dogs, you.. get free cuddles. and maybe fleas. Love all, trust.. no fart. The pen is mightier than.. a pencil. An idle mind is.. a relief, sometimes. Where there is smoke, there’s.. a smoker. Happy is the bride who.. gets enough sleep. Two is company, three’s.. even more company. None are so blind as.. voles. You get out of something what you.. reach for. When the blind lead the blind.. their guide dogs play. Laugh and the whole world laughs with you. Cry and.. the whole world suddenly remembers they had something important to do elsewhere. 2751. What’s the most interesting assignment you ever had in school? >> I’m not sure. 2752. What’s the most interesting thing you ever had to do for work? >> --- 2753. Do you feel: insignificant? No. unable to evoke change? No. like one person can’t change the world? No. like one life and one person’s suffering doesn’t mean very much? No. If you answered yes to any of those can you describe why in detail? >> --- 2754. Do you feel like you could contribute as much to society as ____ has? Albert Einstein: The answer to all these is ‘yes, just not in the same ways’. Abe Lincoln: Franz Kafka: Jesus Christ: 2755. Are you aware that your brain is the same size as Albert Einstein’s brain? >> Yes. Do you realize that you have the same number of hours in a day as Abraham Lincoln? >> Yes.

Did you know that Franz Kafka wrote all of his amazing litterature during his lunchbreaks at work? >> I didn’t, but neat. Did you know that we are all made of matter and that you are made of the Same Thing that Jesus was made of? >> Sure. Do you still believe that you couldn’t contribute as much to society as they did? If yes than WHY? >> Well, I didn’t believe that in the first place, so. But that’s a good argument you set up, there. 2756. Is your mind in the gutter? >> Usually. 2757. What do you have to complain about? >> Whatever I feel the desire to complain about. It’s my experience, I can interpret it in whatever way I feel like. 2758. Do you remember rock n’ roll radio? >> No. 2759. Is there such a thing as a food that you burn more calories from digesting than you actually absorb from it? >> I wouldn’t know. 2760. Hey, if you’ve gotten this far than you and me go way back. We’ve been hanging out for a while now and I gotta know..do you like me? >> Haha. 2761. What are you doing, Dave? >> If my name was David, I’d ignore anyone who shortened it to Dave. 2762. As far as love goes do you feel it is better to become complete before looking for someone or find someone who completes you? >> I think that people kind of throw those words around because they sound nice and pithy, but they don’t really have a full understanding of what they’re trying to say. I might be wrong, of course, but that’s my interpretation. A person is already complete, and also always evolving. There is nothing to “become”. And a relationship is a making of one out of multiple -- it is two complete entities creating a new thing through their union. We don’t say that wood and nails and brick and mortar were all incomplete things before they were used to make a building. But in the making of a building, those complete things have come together to form something new, something that without any of those parts would fall apart. But hey, also! a brick that doesn’t go towards the construction of a building is still a damn cool brick. Ya dig? Yeah, I don’t know, either. 2763. What attracts you about the opposite sex (or same sex, or both sexes)? >> I’m not entirely sure how attraction works. It just does what it wants. 2764. Do you need people or do you not need anyone? >> I am a social creature. I require other people to stay alive. 2765. Is selfishness always bad? >> No. Is selflessness always good? >> No.

2766. Do you feel like your life is being controlled by a power structure? >> Certain aspects of it are, of course. Those aren’t necessarily the parts of my life that matter most to me, but they are still important. 2767. Can you name three things in society that send the message that being completely yourself and that looking inside yourself and contemplating what’s within is a good thing? >> I don’t feel like it right now, but I know it’s a prominent paradigm in recent generations. 2768. Can you name three things in society that send the message that materialism and the accumulation of stuff is a good thing? >> See above. 2769. What is more important, a picture or its frame? >> Some frames are also works of art. But some frames are just meant to enclose and protect works of art. Don’t think that makes them less important, but their importance is different. What is more important, spirituality or religion? >> Important to what? 2770. How many definitions can you come up with for the word 'fuck’? >> I’m sure Google can think of many more than I can right now. 2771. Is it less offensive when a black person says Nigger than when a white person says it? >> For me, yes, it is. Why or why not? >> Because as a black person, I understand that most other black people’s usage of it is not meant to insult me or reinforce one’s sense of superiority over me. And I understand that most white people’s usage of it is absolutely meant to insult me, reinforce one’s sense of superiority over me, or -- nowadays -- meant to “troll” me, to goad me into responding in a way they can smugly label ‘irrational’. A black person calls me “my nigga” and I feel kinship. A white person calls me “my nigger” and I feel subjugated. That’s never going to be untrue for me. 2772. Do you rationalize often? >> Sure. We all do. 2773. Do you believe that america is an imperialist nation? >> Yes. 2774. Would you agree that: hot topic is the new abercrombie? pink is the new black: you are the new you? 2775. Do you have more internet or real life friends? >> All my friends are people I know through the internet. 2776. What IS the feeding of 5000? >> The what? 2777. What’s an easy way to make money? >> Fiverr. 2778. What’s your favorite slang word and what does it mean? >> “dead ass” and “whole ass” are still favourites of mine. 2779. Are you uncomfortable? >> Right now? Somewhat. My digestive system is being worrisome. I’m hoping it just passes without incident. I plan on enjoying as many moments of this day as possible, considering I’ve been waiting three months for it. 2780. Is anything definite besides death and taxes? >> Neither of those are definite, depending on your philosophy and your socioeconomic class... 2781. Would you rather live fast and die young or live slow and die old? >> Live slow and die old does seem to be more my speed; my moments of living fast are exactly that-- moments. I have no desire to die young. 2782. Can you name 4 people who have committed crimes against humanity? >> I’m sure I could. But I won’t. How do you think they live with themselves? >> --- 2783. If you could imagine, pure fantasy, any God you could concieve, how would you want God to be? >> But... any god I can conceive already exists, somewhere. 2784. do you think the smashing pumpkins have a strong christian theme? >> I never paid attention. 2785. Do you think this survey has a strong christian theme? >> Not this section. Can’t speak for the others. 2786. Fill in the blank for yourself" Give me ____ or give me death! >> Nah. 2787. Have you ever heard of the USA patriotism act? Apparently they have passed laws making torture legal. Also the FBI can sneak and peek into ANYONE’S home. They don’t have to ask or even tell you they were there. This is already the law. So, whaddaya think? >> I mean, I’ve been hearing that for years. It hasn’t changed how I live my life. 2788. The people in power step all over the average citizen, trying to secure all the power and money for themselves and leave us with no rights and under their control. They have the audacity to do this because they know that we will not lift a finger to stop them. Are they right? >> I think it’s a little more complex than that, but it is also not my area of expertise, so. 2789. The Free State Project is a plan in which 20,000 or more liberty-oriented people will move to a single state of the U.S. to secure there a free society. They will accomplish this by first reforming state law, opting out of federal mandates, and finally negotiating directly with the federal government for appropriate political autonomy. They want to be a community of freedom-loving individuals and families, and want to create a shining example of liberty for the rest of the nation and the world. What’s your opinion? Could this work? Why or why not? >> I don’t know enough about governmental systems, especially ones formed from schism, to judge whether it could work or not. I’d support the effort, either way. 2790. Have you ever seen the Neverending Stroy? Remember when Bastian has to prove his worth by looking in that mirror where you see yourself the way you really are with no pretenses, rationalizations or mental lying? Could you stand yourself if you looked into that mirror? >> I’ve seen much worse than that. 2791. What is soilent green? >> Soilent Green is a metal band. Or, was. They probably aren’t still together. Soylent Green, on the other hand, is a movie (and a book, I think?). 2792. What are you proud that you have never done? >> Well, I’m glad I’ve never murdered anyone. That prison time would not suit me. 2793. What things are hopeless? >> I wouldn’t know. 2794. What Are People For? >> Meh? 2795. What book do you feel could change someone’s life? >> That is way too subjective. 2796. Didja ever want to just walk up to the Bush administration and ask them, 'What the fuck?’ >> I mean, probably, at some point. 2797. How do you take your coffeee? >> A little light, a little sweet. 2798. Have you ever played: paintball? No. lazer tag? No. which is better? --- 2799. In what ways are you lucky? >> I don’t know how much of my life to attribute to luck. 2800. If Jesse Jackson wants reparations to be given to black people because he thinks that black people don’t have equal opportunities in this country than why does he drive a Jaguar? >> I can hazard a few guesses: 1) he thinks Jaguar makes good cars; 2) he enjoys the symbols of status; 3) he believes he deserves expensive things. I understand that driving a Jag makes him appear to profit from the very system he’s preaching against, and maybe that’s true. Jesse Jackson very well may be a hypocrite. Here’s the thing: I’m not particularly invested in hanging Jesse Jackson for it.

Be Particular and Specific:- When you contact any physiotherapy center or any other place, they will ask you if it is an injury and if it is, how did it occur. You must mention the details correctly as all the clinics cannot treat every kind of damage. When you are calling them, talk directly to the receptionist about your problem and ask whether there is any physiotherapist specialized in that field.

The Dress:- While you are undergoing physiotherapy, you should wear loose and comfortable clothes. If you need, you can bring your clothes and change into before the physiotherapy starts.

You should answer the questions accurately and with clarity, be honest while you are telling about the dysfunction you are currently experiencing. The physiotherapist will look at the areas surrounding the particular area of the body which you are having trouble with. Do not be silent about any pain; speak about it during the assessment.

Physical Diagnosis:-Once the assessment is over, the physiotherapist can give a physical diagnosis. Then you can ask questions like how much time it may take to cure the pain etc. The physiotherapist will also tell you the details of the procedure of the physiotherapy, what you are required to do and what not, what may be the likely side effects etc. The physiotherapist will tailor a particular plan and schedule of the treatment which will help you to recover soon and achieve the health goal.

Recovery:- The end of the treatment can be marked with some medicine which will start the process of recovery only with your consent. Otherwise, you can decline any treatment you want. But the process is dependent on the patient as well; you will also need to do your part like working out regularly, leading a healthy life, having a healthy diet, maintain the schedule of the physiotherapy, taking good care of yourself, etc. The physiotherapist should approve the exercises.

yeahhhhh fuck me for speaking my mind and having any human emotions that are even slightly nothing to due with what I can do for somebody lately (example: being a fool in my charity to break my back in it’s bending for my “friend” and her children. I also entirely blame myself for being the idiot to believe that my voice “mattered” and is “valid” and, you know, that I was worthy of reciprocated love all those blessed ass platitudes for the clutching at straws for /real/ self-esteem and confidence building. I was told so many things both good and bad for the past 7+ years. I mean especially right after I turned 20. The majority, like 80% of my entire 20′s. I miss who I was when him and I were an item. I miss the purity and sweetness I so pursued and truly was. Ah, but how the whispering campaign of it knows how to bring about things in us that were never true; making us believe and consider and give power to those insinuations and just outright lies regarding my character, intentions, thoughts and feelings and of course beliefs that so /mimic/ the truth but are actually the opposite. (fyi most lies will do that; mimic and sound so close to the ‘truth’) what it comes down to is a truly skewed perception, jealousy (hate to say it), and thinking oneself better or more ‘woke’ than the other. Buttering up oneself for a covert inferiority complex (that’s not to say that I don’t have a major inferiority complex and much more within the past 3 years have become a self-parody, perhaps) I want to unlearn, unfeel, and unbelieve these sewing circle fucking falsehoods about myself. What’s worse is that they have come from the very people closest to my heart. as well as from other places like people I have  followed here on tumblr, which, really, I’ve come to despise. People love to passive aggressively bully or demolish each other through “art” and quotes and shit in thinking their views (social, ideological, spiritual etc.) are just unshakably correct...(?) That aside, I ask and am desperate to know how to separate and shield my mind and heart from malice and unfounded distrust that insists on itself as the truth?? I never thought that before all this I would say the clear, cut and dry truth about myself and those that have treated me like less than I am all the while /saying/ the opposite but not doing so before out of their personal anger issues and shitty circumstances and emotions. as to completely project and make false accusation (IE the Tyler and Allyson escapade, which was another one of “Al’s notoriously terrible decisions that, no joke, change every three fucking minutes and insists itself as a ‘need’ I could really go on and on about what her and Tyler did for the mere reason of forgetting to without question, immediately at that time start to refer to her as her ever changing pronouns, for the fact that I’ve know her so long. 14 delirious years being one of her bitches, so yeah it’s easy to forget and to my misfortune they both went to the extreme of repeatedly threatening me bodily harm out of fucking NOWHERE and going even as far to get directly in my face with the threats to which I stood my ground, of course shaking and not believing what was happening) and then for her to stoop sooooooooo low to say any kind of flack about the me and Andrew thing, THAT was so traumatic that I forgot exactly what was said and all I know is that it was to devalue what I had with and what has afterwards happened with him and I. The very man that during it’s time, gave me and I him everything wanted and wished and prayed for. I don’t think that I will divulge much of everything that had happened between him and I because that’s not my place and what, I know in my heart of hearts, what /my/ love and adoration is about. however.......a lot of untrue things that /sounded/ like the truth were whispered into his ear by a series of people he’s gossiped to me about and whom have also been in line for his attention and potential love, with a pretty malicious and (dare I say it?) jealous tongue. thinking that I ever thought myself as most unique and irreplaceable and beautiful heart and minded. No I never want to or ever intended to have that be said about myself because I quite honestly hate and demolish myself brutally anyway.....I guess the point is here I pray that I...just perish now. You cannot make someone to believe the truth even no matter how hard you try with sincere words backed up by actions, only to be seem as me “covering all the bases”. throughout all this I really have prayed withing just the past year and a half, feverishly prayed that God would either just take me from this world or strike me dead. Because other than things like art, my friends who live really far away and never get to see other than Dustin and family who know me best, and choice drugs, I see no end to the tunnel that might lead to the sun and the flowering and bearing of fruit, like is was this. Every day now I wake up asking myself “WHAT. HAVE. I. DONE....?”
