So yesterday proved to be kind of crummy in the general, wide outside sort of way.  Not personally though it was hard not to feel personally affected when Robin Williams was found dead.  It was odd because I would not have assumed it would hit me hard but it did and for lots of reasons I think.  You probably don’t really want to hear about those but it is sad and it is tragic that someone can be 63 and still not have reached a point where his demons have been at least contained.  Except of course they haven’t.  Then of course as I was going to bed news began to surface that Christy Mack was brutally beaten by an ex boyfriend. (And you know, friendly note, if you’re feint of heart don’t click that link, the pictures are brutal).  And I welled with a mix of anger and sadness and feared just what I might see on the internet today and it didn’t fail to disappoint me when of course I saw slews of comments about how a porn star is asking for this or that.  I won’t claim to have nearly the personal impersonal connection with Christy Mack that I do with Robin Williams but they are both stark reminders at how dark and brutal this world can be and how short on empathy the rest of us can be.  I don’t want to get into it more than that but I do think everyone should pause and wonder if their reactions to adversity for others is less than sympathetic.  If you find yourself holding people who suffer in contempt maybe you should stop and wonder why.  I am not in a great mood today which is why I am posting Katy Perry because she has the ability to often make me smile.  I don’t know her either, like all public figures we know them only through their work and the impact their work has on us.  But she seems to know how to have fun and she is fun.  That’s all I want right now.  Today I want to fuck Katy Perry.
