This is what you sometime get if you try to get a google image of me:

"go buts no buts"
"butt taco"
(nothing nearly as gross as it sounds -- promise)

A few weeks ago I was up real late... Busy being a loser watching tv. And I was watching the learning channel because I am about to go to grad school and I need to learn how to learn again. And there was a documentary, "born w/out a face." It's about a girl who was born with a birth defect that she didn't have a face, but she was cognitively nomal. It made a really big impression, though I would have re-edited it to make it darker 'cause I don't think that life is all about learning from lessons and loving everyone. What about horrific pain and suffering and a little dash of hopelessness? Why isn't that allowed on the learning channel. How about the "people don't learn from their mistakes channel?" You should check your local listings.
I was thinking about how in my high school there was this big gang battle between the "freaks" and the "preppies." High school was a kind of giant joke, isn't it? But it's strange - why did I identify with freaks? There was nothing freakish about my behavior or my appearance. I don't know where such a strong sense of alienation came from. I mean, if I had so chosen, I would've had no trouble fitting in to mainstream society. Why did I not want to? I mean there are a million complicated reasons. Sometimes I don't understand myself at all. This whole "freaks" thing is a big part of american pop culture too, but it's like I'm too close to see clearly what it means.
I'm sorry if I'm offensive, associating this girl with the word freak, but she's going to have to learn to deal with that. Anyway, there's something about bodies that feeds directly into your emotional way of thinking. There's hot bodies, and not-hot bodies, and then there is something that is the opposite of hot bodies - something that also negates the idea of what a body is and makes you think about what a person is other than a body (but it doesn't answer this question). I think that is where we are headed as a species. At least until we get to the no bodies phase. When I am at Berkeley I am going to volunteer for every experiment where they put electrodes in your brain. And I am going to buy free beer for all of the plastic surgeons and AI experts I meet. Hey there.
By the way, I'm being really unsmart with this comment, and the reason is that this picture awakens a lot of feelings in myself that I am not comfortable talking about it a public forum. I am trying to break down my sense of privacy, and that means being more honest, and that means writing things that might be offensive from time to time because I am a very not ideal person. Um, but I am failing here because I edited out the important things. Sometimes it's interesting to me to see how I fail, but it may not be for you. But I don't give a fuck what you think. Sweet.
Anyway:
sisters
farley....you are a pretty scary dude.
i don't understand what you mean, that she didn't have a face. how did she eat?
did she look like this?

Logan and Tim need to read the sidebar on how to make links.
Eff, I wouldn't say that your post was you 'being stupid', actually it was really well written and interesting. The picture is hard to look at. It's like James Vance, except that was self-inflicted, so it changes the whole "dealing with it" thing.
On a lighter note, this gif looks a lot like Logan's senior project - was anyone else there?

Stupid is like purple mountain's magesty for me.
Logan - if you want to learn more about this girl, there is lots and lots of info on-line. Try googleimaging "born without a face"...
On a heavier note, maybe I should do a whole post on Synesthetic Superscam with these images I've collected. I was really "into" Uranium babies for a while (don't click on that link if you don't want to see upsetting images). You can catch them on that video I made for the Colbert greenscreen challenge. I mean, you can catch them if you pause it at the right time - funny thing is - some people did... Cause people like to look at images - sometimes getting the content you need takes a lot of work. It's funny how people like to be scared, yeah, like fun horror movie scared, but people also gravitate towards deeply disturbing things. And this isn't even sociopathic or underground. There seems to be a clear cut mainstream media market niche for profoundly upsetting content. It seems to be most effective when totally separated from everyday life. I think that's why there are such interesting comments on that YouTube video - as a medium, internet tv is just a little closer to real life...
Anyway, what?
since he was mentioned:
James Vance
and also a story behind it...although you can wiki it pretty easily...this dude and his friend tried to kill themselves while listening to judas priest...his fried died...he didnt...until a few years later...but he was permanently disfigured. although still able to breath and "eat" i think...this led to an infamous trial about subliminal messages in rock music, although vance died before he could testify.
