if you say something long enough you'll actually start to believe it. Thinking and thinking and thinking... getting back to the idea of self talk...mental conditioning. Ten minute toughness. What does it mean when you have to convince yourself to feel or to not feel.

emotional?...ramble

What does it mean to be called an emotional person? Does it mean that you express yourself in a negative way? Why does being called emotional feel like a bad thing? Isn't the term "emotional" just relative to a social and cultural construct of acceptable behavior... and why does it have to be. What I've thinking about lately is emotional intensity in both women and men and how that energy can be a sort of positive release (whether melodramatic or not). I'll be looking for works, images, articles etc... feel free to drop a link if anything comes to mind. Here's a little Ryan Trecartin emotional hysteria for you....

um...

In desperate need of a trip to Hennessy and Ingalls!
