So, I thought I’d explain a few more things ’bout the blog, while I’m not thinking terribly-heavy thoughts today.
The title works on a few levels. Like my life, a <a href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyepiece#Monocentric”>monocentric lens</a> is one that is made up of multiple pieces, fused together into a more useful whole. My life has a <strong>whole</strong> lot of moving parts, and somehow… it works.
I also like the irony of writing a blog with the title “monocentric” as a poly dude, since I’m about as far from mono centric in a relationships sense as you can get.
A slight digression before the subject of blog titles… Watch this NSFW video. I’d suggest headphones:
Then, since I can’t find a video of the song, here’s a link to the lyrics of “Cocksucking Faggot” by Pansy Division. Here’s the song, too. That said… I’m a lit major. I believe in the power of words, and I think that there’s a lot of words that need to be reclaimed. (Oh, Sars, I adore thee.) Thus, with the pervert. I’ll cheerfully admit that the term applies well to me, actually – I’m into a lot of things that most people think of as exotic at best. And I’ll try just about anything once. Maybe twice, if it’s possible they just weren’t particularly good at it. But I digress… I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being a pervert, as long as all parties relevant to the discussion consent. So once slut loses a bit more of its sting, and we’re already well on the way, and when I can cheerfully call friends perverts without worrying about a sting of opprobrium, I’ll be happy.
Finally, we have more Ani Difranco lyrics. “Taken out of context I must seem so strange” is from one of her older songs, a lovely ditty called Fire Door.
Although… *chuckle* At this point I’m pretty convinced context doesn’t help. I think I’d be pretty strange anyway… *grin*
Questions, anyone?
(Oh, and I DO think in lyrics a lot. There’ll be a lot of videos posted, etc. I hope y’all have eclectic taste in music.)
Polymorphous perversity (Y'know - taken out of context, I must seem so strange...)
