One more question, does this always coincide with the first day of Spring? (Actually I Googled and yes)
Yeppers. I think it is the perfect time for New Years. Kinda driving me nuts that my house is in such disarray when it should be Spring Cleaning clean.
I feared my father's anger when I was growing up. He'd get angry at me when I lost my temper or cried, so I learned not to do those things. To this days I have a hard time crying and dealing with my anger.
I think that anger often is actually unexpressed hurt. So we say "I'm so angry..." when we mean "I'm really hurt that I've been disregarded..."
Anger is much easier to access for most people, than fear or hurt.
I agree with both these statements too.
And wow, from anger to learning that Fred Phelps is dead. I wonder what that means for the Westboro Baptist Church. Do they fold up shop now? Or are there enough family members around who feel the need to carry on his "work" now that he's gone?
He was ex-communicated from the church this past year. It will keep going.
I heard a song last night on the radio, a song I have heard before several times, but do not retain who sings it. It sounds a lot like Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, but has people yelling "Hey" in it like the Lumineers song also. I would say the singers are definitely NOT American unless their singing voice is soooo affected to be foreign sounding. British/Irish/Australian is where I'd guess. Hivemind?
Can I remember any lyric? No, no I cannot, because that American Authors song is stuck in my head.
OK will all that is so crazy - I am gonna post anyway, but I just did find the song. will see what you all come up with.
So he was excommunicated for not being crazy enough?
