Only: An Introduction

Only: An Introduction

Who really wants to be exposed to a stupid person's stupidity? I, most assuredly, do not. But unfortunately, I've been forced into a position where I am subjected to a perpetual barrage of stupidity.

Even more unfortunate than that, is this:
Most of the stupidity to which I am unwillingly exposed, is my own. (I'm stupid.)

Everything I do is a direct result of stupidity.

"Stupid is as stupid does." I heard that in a movie once, and I think that it describes me perfectly. I do the stupid things I do because I'm stupid.

Often I find myself avoiding all significant activity because I know that I'm going to mess up whatever I do. Instead of writing songs (which is what I love and need to do)I find myself rewriting old songs in an effort to hide or remove the stupidity that those songs might reveal to the world. Luckily most of those songs have yet to be revealed, and I still can change them because they are still in the oven.

The songs will still show my stupidity, but I think that, having been rewritten, the songs will present stupidity in a way that is far less stupid than the actual stupidity portrayed by the songs.

I think people are inherently stupid. And I think that by showing people my stupidity, I might get people to look at their own stupidity in a similar light.

Naturally, stupidity isn't the only thing discussed in my music. I like to think I cover a wide variety of topics.

( stupid as I am ;)

Some comp,lex subjects or renditions use simple words

John Steinbeck, Of Mice and Men. Hemingway. Simple is not stupid. Look, we gotta get busy and make some dough!

Great book Les

I had forgotten about that book -

Only

Only. I gave you a good score. On rating. Now, if you want to edit your piece, fine. If you wish to make it look like "charly" you have a way to go. (Flowers for Algernon -- Daniel Keyes.) Think about spell checking or just there you go.

we all talk to ourselves within our minds

Did you know that 90% of what we say to ourselves in our minds is negative- negative thoughts or comments or words we say to ourselves are not going to bring about anything positive. I think it is very important to speak kindly to yourself and praise yourself for the good that you do. I also think that it is our society that gives us this feeling of not measuring up or as your post expressed 'stupid'. Frankly, the world or society has much to give when it comes to stupidity but, I think you should try to be kinder to yourself and turn it around- make it better- give it depth and beauty- there is nothing stupid about that. I liked your xombyte - and I don't think it was stupid.
