Schadenfreude: The pleasure derived from others suffering.
I figure this ( Schadenfreude ) is the reason behind many women watching daytime soups as a guilty please, or a not so guilty pleasure. I never could figure it out, it baffled me. I mean its mindless drivel in its almost ultimate form. Soups are second only to "Reality Dramas" or what ever the current tag is for shows such as Jersey Shore and American Idle or Real Housewives. They are beyond unbelievable! Until that is it dawned on me it is both schadenfreude with a touch of escapist envy.
You see my wife watches one of these soups called "Days of our Lives" and it is a prime example. While being subjected to it I have seen beautiful people in every fucked up situation imaginable. Scenarios from sleeping with each other to fathering so and so's child while claiming it was anothers to a little old grandmother somehow being an IT wiz and being able to hack the hospitals PCs and change the paternity results. They build every thing up so that every thing comes out all at once and every ones life is going fine and dandy while they jump threw hoops and then comes crashing down. Of course every one is perfect looking and rich and the young people are angsty and every one has the right skill set for just what they need. BLAH BLAH BLAH! Its like a combination of tween love novels, pulp cop drama and dynasty where every one gets fucked over but every one gets what they want but every one comes back from the dead or terminal deceases!
Schadenfreude, they get to revel in the fact that their lives, no matter how mundane, are better then some of the extremely unlikely though fucked up scenarios as seen on TV. All this while they get to escape for a short time into a story where they can dream of being these fucked up people and imagine a life in a fancy mansion with servants and a killer body or hansom man panting after them or some other ephemeral shit. BLAH! On to the misc. . . Shtuff.
Misc. . . Shtuff!
No school the last two days, i.e. today and yesterday, as I had a killer migraine yesterday and recovery today. Nothing like being in utter agony or writhing in pain worse than getting kicked in the nuts with steel toed boots with sewing needles hot-glued to the tips. Not that I have been kicked with such boots but when I was in JR High the kid I kicked in the groin with sneakers I had modified in such a manner sure looked to be in a shit ton of pain! The absolute best migraines are the ones that knock my ass out for a day or more as then I do do not feel anything I just loose time. Of course the occasional trips to the ER to be hooked up to IVs are no fun.
The winter season does not help with migraines in the slightest. Due to major dental surgery about 10 years ago I have some truly messed up sinuses and am now prone to sinus infections this time of year. Sinus infections lead to sinus pain and pressure which in turn lead to triggering migraines. YAAAAAY FUN! So I get migraines behind the eyes, in the front of the skull and in the back of the skull and the best one of all full orbital migraines! The best migraine trigger though is stress. Oh lovely lovely stress! Where I of a poetic mood I would wax joyously and pen an ode to stress. My most faithful stressor of all of course being the phrase, TAL, Your Married!," Oh how i loath that phrase!
In parting to this detested phrase ( "Your Married" ) I say "No Shit Bitch! But if my wife is ok with me spreading your legs or gagging you with my cock whats your issue?"
Damn longest blog post yet that shall never be read!
