On Anger

For various reasons that are beside the point, I was feeling rather angry this morning--an emotion that I'm coming to accept as healthy and normal and human. So I reacted by going to the echo-spot on campus and yelling words that I've been taught are not acceptable parts of speech, and basking in the minute rebellion that this brought. Now I feel oddly upbeat and satisfied and liberated and generally a million times better, simply because I embraced my anger and released it. It's funny how that works sometimes.

Now, for chucks, here is a song that feels appropriate for today. The sound quality in this recording is pretty bad, but the presentation and audience energy are amazing, so I'm sharing this version anyway. If you really care that much, the unobstructed (so to speak) studio recording is on YouTube as well:
