It mostly hurts, and at it's worst, it seems that all good things are just set-ups for more pain.<br /><br />Glamour gives a charm, romance, and excitement to life that contradicts reason, logic and common sense. To glamorize life is absurd.<br /><br />This act of Absurdism exercises our ultimate power as humans. Through the Absurd, humankind seizes power over reality. With this power we can turn the meaningless into meaningful, the ugly into beauty and the painful into the ecstatic.<br /><br />I call this act "Absurd Glamour".<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8724374512416363905-4598547159624826967?l=absurdglamour.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Babe Scanlonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14930872193965898085noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724374512416363905.post-88726199563070196082008-07-26T22:13:00.000-07:002008-12-11T01:12:07.579-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GysaMPoX0D0/SIwFwghqPrI/AAAAAAAAAAw/BLe9u8IBXj4/s1600-h/Monkey+lounging+.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GysaMPoX0D0/SIwFwghqPrI/AAAAAAAAAAw/BLe9u8IBXj4/s320/Monkey+lounging+.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227559598393278130" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />my heart<br />1993 to 2008<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8724374512416363905-8872619956307019608?l=absurdglamour.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Babe Scanlonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14930872193965898085noreply@blogger.com0
