"word of the day: umbrage"
from Old French and Latin, of shade.
you can give umbrage or take umbrage, both figuratively, as in "take offense," and literally. but in either case . . . you can stand under my umbrella. You can take shade from me. You can protect yourself from me. You can give me a cold shoulder. Or turn your back.
btw, my next CD purchase, Damien Jurado's, And Now That I'm in Your Shadow, and please view my nascent music blog at http://stumpgrounds.blogspot.com/
"Self Indulgence requires a sense of self"
Well, I guess this blog will be about me, and the problems I've had in relationships, and how my life has been affected, and it might also be a blog about music, and about small town life, and about living in a city, and about travel. I think I need to do some research on the blog phenomenon as well. Can I really write anything I want on here? It suddenly feels like a twisted version of the confessional (Catholic), which I'm not, same idea though, sitting here in front of a screen, not sure who is on the other side, nor why I'm doing it, but tumbling forward, tripping over words all the same.
