So is this all there is?  Mad panic as I attempt to fulfill the expectations
of all around me--my professors, my friends, my singing/drinking buddies, my
'rents--only to realize that, sometime long ago, all of it stopped mattering
to me?

I find a friend at a party and switch on "talk" mode--it doesn't matter what
comes out of my mouth because it's a party and hey, nobody will take it ser-
iously anyway.  I never really realized the shallowness of the party scene
until I came here to the University of Virginia, where partying has ceased to
be an art form and has become something of an industrial byproduct like the
five-day work week or ulcers.

I have ceased utterly to care about classes; quantum mechanics, classical
mechanics, electronics, Nabokov are all alike; all blend into each other like
lumps in the shoreless ego of Freud's polymorphously perverse infant.  They're
all just there, neither interesting nor particularly challenging (unless, of
course, they're impossible).  I experience an odd floating feeling in some
of the classes, as though I'm watching the back of my own head as I nod.

Even the 'net people that part of me would really like to know:  as I'm 
exchanging mail and articles on one level, another part of me says why
bother?  It's all absurd, and everyone who claims to have met their current
s.o./spouse/whatever is delusional.  (Solipsistic, yes, but I suspect this
is part of my overall angst.)

I don't think that even my angst is real.  It all smells too much of
constructs.  "Would that this too, too tired flesh would dissolve into a
dew."  Kafka:  now there was a man with mother problems.

There is an eraser shaving in the crescent of coffee grounds slowly
drying in the bottom of my coffee mug.

My subconscious has completely subverted my preconscious.  I feel like
Ronald Reagan.

Even my angst about angst has gotten unreal.  I'd better stop before I
start getting angst about my angst about my angst about my angst.

Sorry to waste bandwidth with this crap.

And I thought I was the only one who suffered from Overpopulation-leading-to
-overburdening-of-our-limited-resources-leading-to-ecodisaster angst.

The truly neat thing about this type of angst is that it brings into question
a very basic assumption most people have: 

The intrinsic value(actually, cost might be more appropriate) of *human* life.
[I think I've just become flamebait for Right-to-Lifers]

It is very angstful to recognize that you're a part of the problem.

Well, maybe the next time I get fretful over imminent ecodisaster
or feed up with the endless rejections from the quest for a S.O.
I'll just have done to myself, what an old girlfriend had done to her ex-Tomcat.

She said he'd be cleaner, happier, and he'd stay at home nights more!

#    On listening to the CD, I was reminded of how I felt when I was the most 
#depressed over wanting to be in a relationship, but found myself unable to find
#any woman interested in me.  What I always found most frustrating was that I 
#had no idea of how one actually enters a relationship; I could not see how one 
#ever makes the transition, since all my attempts had been unsucessful.  I hear 
#the same sort of frustration and longing in PG's songs "Come Talk To Me" and 
#"Love To Be Loved".  I have heard depression in Gabriel's songs before, but not
#this sort of personal longing.  At any rate, I recomend the CD.

As I understand it much of this album was a result of Peter's failing
marriage which resulted in him seeking group therapy.  When look at many
current groups that emote angst I see most screaming and loud.
Peter has the ability to capture the same essence, but in a subtle yet
effective manner.  I supposed it's like taking out a building by blowing
up the city with a nuclear bomb vs. one of those smart bombs just flattening
the building.  Objective accomplished (destruction of target) but the smart
bomb (sort of like *smart* food but different) is more creative.

PS Yes, I like screaming loud music.  I also like subtle music packed with
angst also.

an idiot considering he made it to Indiana's Congress and the U.S. Congress

   Allright, smart-arse, name one (count 'em) one character, fictional or

Art Siegelman's father, the maus in the Concentration Camp in "Maus."

Or, if you prefer more mainstream stuff, Dorothy from DC's Doom Patrol.

OH PISS OFF XIBO...JUST PISS OFF!!...I wouldn't be reacting so bad here if
this didn't echo a real-life occurrence not too long ago. 

I get a phone call from a friend of mine at about 1:30 in the morning one
night whichool 'cause I'm used to be up that late anwyays and I'm 
no stranger to 3 am cries for help. So anyways, I'm talking to this 
friend of mine and we start getting into a pretty deep conversation when
she just seems to start acting kind of rushed. "Um, I kind of gotta get
going 'cause Matt is going to be back in a few minutes. We ran out of
condoms and I needed somebody to talk to while he ran out to the 7-11 and
I think I just heard his car pull up in the driveway...."
*LICK*. 
She then has the gall to call me up the next day and say " You weren't
upset last night were you?"

My favorite song during times of angst brought on by the pressures of being
a wife, mother, person with responsible job, etc. who yearns for an
occasional trip in the fast lane is Marianne Faithful's "Ballad of Lucy
