Today was interesting. I got all pissed at Lon for singing a song, I got all pissy with my friends over it, and then I went to a birthday party for my daughter at an indoor swim club. It was 25 degrees outside. The pool was 90 degrees. Freaking wonderful. I had to get in with her, at least one parent must and it was my duty. Lovely.
I relaxed a lot. Me and twenty of my 7-year-old daughter's closest friends. They swam and played, I sat and soaked. So. Good. Mmm. Loved it. Highly recommend it to all my parent friends. Birthday party at the kids' swim club in the winter. With pizza.
Anyway, when I got home I read some more comments, read my own rant about it, and then listened again to the song. Frankly, I'm ashamed of myself. One of these days, I'll learn to shut up when I get pissed off.
In the mean time, thanks, for those who understood or didn't, who agreed or didn't. I learned a lot about myself today. I'm totally keeping all my Lon Milo DuQuette stuff. As POS said, "I do not dismiss a man for a single fault. There would be no one left."

ReplyDeleteThat line is a great truth.
I like DuQeutte, he's a great writer and one of the first books I read of his was "My life with the Spirits" which is a funny book and made me want to be a ceremonial magician.
I couldn't listen to the whole video it repulsed me right away.Whats odd to me is the number of people who find that stuff cute and are willing to pay Lon 1.99 for the down load.I guess Lon is a struggling magician after all !! Makes you wonder about his fellow fraters and sorros that buy that shit...
God forbid if you ever stoop to such a thing Rufus Opus!! God forbid .... :)

Besides who can stay mad at a santa look-a-like?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got some perspective on this thing. I had a fit yesterday with some non-intended fallout with family. I think I have to learn how to find a better outlet for my frustration.
ReplyDeleteLon now falls under the 'love his work despite his views' category alongside Dave Sim (come to think of it Lon's more of less the Dave Sim of the occult).
ReplyDeleteoooo dave sim! I still think its all a huge prank, and he suckered the world into believing he's a mysogynist.. maybe the same is true with lon?
ReplyDeletePerhaps, they both come off as such nice guys in interviews don't they?
