Comments on: Anger is my muse

There I was thinking there were three muses – Mneme (Memory), Aoide (Voice) and Melete (Practice) … actually, I think Emerson, Lake and Palmer had a song where they called one Clio (History) … hmmm … now there is ‘Anger’ to add to the muses! Sounds more like a missing dwarf.

Anyway, I think even if you were not so angry, there would still be a Minishorts.net … just would be different. Creative people always need an outlet, and (my personal opinion) is that even without a need to vent your anger, you would have eventually fallen into blogging.

I used to keep a special book for venting anger in during my seperation and divorce. It was full ofa lot of things I can’t repeat (lot’s of ‘F’ words etc), but it kept the anger and emotive angst from ruining my Diary at the time.

I prefer to aim my anger at the person who caused or is causing it! (Not that I am accusing anyone else here of not doing that.) I do know that a lot of people don’t though, and when angry at one person, they are angry at the world.

Sometimes, I have bitten my tongue in situations (and followed Kyles ‘Patience’ path), and found that my anger was curbed, because in the end a satisfactory ending was the outcome.

Proper use of ‘Anger’ and ‘Patience’ etc is a matter of chosing your battles too. It’s good to have somewhere to vent your anger (or to meditate or do yoga to contain it). In the end, both are tools to be weilded wisely (if and when needed). [And with Angry, it is more a matter of 'IF'].

Well said, the first part of the post anyway. I hate the guts of those people who are all goodie goodie and with the TEEHEE-I-am-holier-than-thou look on their face. It makes me puke and wanted to stamp onto their faces.. okay maybe not as violent but something come close. What I mean is that most of the time, those bull crap written were really just some fake cheap shit dough that don’t reflect themselves. Crap why lie to oneself and others if it’s just a blog? If one doesn’t want to show their feeling inside, store it within and don’t let it out as some fake orgasm pretending to be happy.

’nuff said

Hey hey!
I do agree w you that blogs are one of outlets/avenues to vent out our anger…. in real life I suppose it’s much more mellowed down, even though we wanna RAM down the stupid car that goes zig zag on the road… bla bla bla…. ugh!
I notice sometimes mood affects my posts (dunno abt u la) and if angry… gone la… all the $^%£& will come out….
Good one!!! *haf yet to read kyels post on this… working on that later.. heh!*

Cheerssss Haffa guud weekend!!

this is interesting.
randomly noting that your blogs are mostly about blogging/blogs/bloggers.
but anger is such an excellent thing to blog about.

I get this perfectly. Negative emotions bring out the best blog fodder.

Mine is usually either frustration or sadness. I’m not really as sad as i used to be nowadays. The result?

My blog entries are kinda boring now.

Good post by the way. Very fun to read.
