It's OUT! Sophistication Nation: Brief Interviews with Women I Pretend to Understand: https://emersondameron.hearnow.com/sophistication-nation
If you can't forgive but you like the idea of forgiving, don't forgive but say that you did Commit to not forgiving to the point where you're okay with lying about it and saying I forgive you, and then get credit for forgiveness for being the grown-up and keep in your back pocket an option to later on take revenge. They will not see it coming. They thought they were forgiven. Jokes on them, slow burn. Not a bad idea if you commit to it. The relationship was, from the beginning, turbulent and extremely manipulative. I could tell she was angling for a relationship, a possibility I was careful to not commit to but also not foreclose on. The sparks and friction from the relationship made me a lot sexier. I had myriad side pieces during that time. She was very good at positioning herself as the prize, triangulating with mutual acquaintances, particularly her ex-boyfriend, a cartoonishly morbid bartender who liked to be seen reading Kal-El back on the clock. She tried to control me through sex, sussing out my cakes and then holding them against me, or inviting moments of vulnerability and then exploiting them. Through that process I learned to play my cards very close to my chest and hide my feelings. That made it very hard for me to effectively flirt. It sapped me of my mojo. The sexual gravy train ground to a halt and by that time, for whatever reason, I actually wanted to make things work with her.
Speaker 1:Absolutely annihilate your emotions. Emotions last for 90 seconds until you start telling yourself stories about them. To hell with that. Let the critics decide who you are. Brutally strangle your emotions, kill them dead. Fill up a little self-compassion. You can do that by annihilating your own weakness. Carve the block that is you. Make a beautiful statue, create yourself. You are your finest creation. Creative destruction is how you got started. Destructive creation is what comes next.
Speaker 1:Build supportive relationships with other brutal, stone cold killers. You'll find them. At some point your reputation will precede you. Sure, you can make that happen by taking action. Put your name out there, put your signature out there. Shake the ground in a way that only you can. Trademark meta-bombs you drop. You're taking action every day.
Speaker 1:You can overcome the matter of frustration, of living in this world being surrounded by fools, cowards, liars, scum. Take out the garbage and I like love bombing because it's one of the only ways to get through to me. Unfortunately, that's kidding on the square, meaning telling a joke. That is also a statement of fact. All of my relationships have been dangerously intense. Yes, I realize that I am the common denominator in these. It's my problem. I'm working on myself, and by working on myself I mean I'm practicing yoga so that eventually I can perform autofillatio and then I will be happier than I ever imagined possible.
Speaker 1:Dear sadist, I've discovered my partner watches a lot of porn and it's making me uncomfortable. How do I approach this conversation without shaming them and find a middle ground that works for both of us? First of all, eliminate the possibility that your partner wants to be shamed, which is a significant one. Since the saturation of broadband internet, we've been deluged with all forms of pornography, much of it violent and degrading. I'm not interested. By and large, none of it will ever come close to the libertine, decadence, transgression, violence, mutual degradation that characterize my own sex life. Most people who prefer the experience of jacking it to porn over actual sexual intimacy, congress other kinds of torture, are afraid. They view the Sex Act on some level as a performance. They are afraid of underperforming, disappointing you, letting you down, which in turn indicates a fear.
Speaker 1:Her expulsion was something that needed to happen for everything since to have happened, which made possible everything that will and can happen, and also it was kind of hot. She got to hand it to Ariel. That was a dumb move. It was demonic, ice cold Really getting into her shadow, whether she knows it or not. And you shall find that there's work to be done. Maybe Candy can meet her there. Maybe give her a call right now to see if she's in there and she's lonely.
Speaker 2:And adorable, bold blasts are inspiring. Exciting, ignite, beautiful, fascinating jumpstart, breathtaking, intriguing kickstart, dazzling, riveting launch, gorgeous, tempting quickstart, stunning, thrilling, speedy swoon, transform, supercharge, swoon worthy turbocharge.
Speaker 3:Smuggle, lust, challenge, begging, discover, memorability, crave, extraordinary, captivate, decadent, hack, genius, delirious. Latest memorableious, latest memorable fantasy, life-changing, undeniable, forbidden, magic, unforgettable, irresistible miracle make that.
Speaker 1:Commute your own. Your job can be boring as hell, it can be soul-sucking, it can be life negating, it can almost kill you, but you can bring yourself back to life by taking ownership of your car. Nobody said you had to take the straightest route, take the longest route, take the long way around. Take a different long way home. Take the bus, walk, hitchhike. Take mass transit of other kinds. Petition for a roller coaster to be put in your community as mass transit. It's not the most efficient way to get there but it's pretty damn exciting. You sit through a lot of boring work, a lot of pointless meetings, a lot of BS. If you can pack a little bit of excitement into that part of the day that is your own. You don't get paid for commuting but you're not really expected to do anything else.
Speaker 1:I like the smell of money. I don't have to work. Ava allows me to work. She insists on paying for everything and kind of holds it over my head but says I can make it up to her by sleeping with her friends. Sometimes we do three ways.
Speaker 1:I'm sure there are women who aren't into women, but those women are mysterious to me. How could you not be into women. Have you seen women? Ava's into women and even if women aren't into women, they're into Ava. Sometimes with sex toys or household objects, the sex is bananas. Ava puts a lot of pressure on me to do whatever her friends want. That's fine.
Speaker 1:I hate making decisions. It's particularly hard to decide between Ava and Clover when we were interested. It hopes that it would be reciprocated. If it's not, not the end of the world. You know, you played your hand. You played well. Hopefully you can part friends. Just don't make it weird. As long as you don't do that, if you just walk away with your dignity and you will feel like there's nobody else but there is. Just once you get out there you'll see there's not one person, there's a whole lot of them. You are the fetish of at least a few.
Speaker 1:The thing is, if you're as bad at picking up on stuff as I can be and used to really really be, any sort of social acuity that you see here in front of you is largely attributable to improv classes that I took in my 20s. I struggled before that. I'm not great at picking up on signals and that meant that women that I ended up in relationships with had a lot of intensity Enough to you know, come after a guy, fairly aggressively in some cases. So I was tent about to kidnapping. You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1:Kick that cocaine. It's the only thing cramping your style, baby. They've got too much going for you. They have stuff going up your nose like that. I know what's up with that. Yeah, I'm tired of it.
Speaker 1:It was fun 18 months ago back when we were kicking it, but I was kicking it with you and unkicking that cocaine. I know you're back on it too. You got to do something about that. It's going to be real hard to get off it. Like some other things that are real hard higher level calculus that's hard. Cement things of that nature.
Speaker 1:The bottom of the pool you dive in the shallow end. You hit your head. That's real hard. Kicking cocaine's not that hard.
Speaker 1:The hard part is the first part, kind of like my hard part has always been the first part. Starting a new lifestyle, it's like that. You got style, you want to get in your life, get in some other things, get in the program. No, I'm not talking about 12-stepping, I'm not talking about half-stepping. Got another kind of program in mind baby, based on Buddhism. I realized where I screwed up, I realized that I could resolve to never do the exact same thing again, that I could honor my commitment. I'm just capable of that. I always have been Honoring your commitments, and living in integrities is just a process of elimination.
Speaker 1:Yes, I think you're brilliant, otherwise I wouldn't have said that I don't want to make your head explode. You're not stupid. Whatever the opposite of that is. If we ever really understand intelligence, you'll be in that category. Maybe pass the missile, take a beat, breathe into the experience of being here and ask yourself what am I so afraid of? Maybe you're afraid of missing some essential life experience.
Speaker 1:You're afraid you already have, or that it doesn't matter because nothing does. Maybe it's nothing. Maybe you're just a regular nerves McGee. Or maybe you're afraid of your own glorious cataclysmic power, the riotous multitudes you contain. You are smart enough to know how nearly infinitely ignorant you are, but you're not too smart to be hot, and you may already be a satanic Buddhist. Nothing is good or bad in isolation, only in context. The Buddha and the Beastmaster are a good team. This, right here, is all you get. Life is for living up down across, diagonally, sideways, because nothing matters. You may already be a Satanic Buddhist. Springtime rolled around and the weather was warm and my heart was broken. The Comedia was long gone and, frankly, I was thankful for the Comedia because that proved that that relationship really happened.
Speaker 1:She was there on my mattress on the floor. She was there, I was there. It's over now, but it all really happened.
