There's no individual or reasonable emotions left, which is why prinicpally as a misanthrope I find both audiences and performers to be an unproductive ego game or a sort of emotional addiction that can go bad, quick. And social networking technology is all about getting a big goddamn unreasonable crowd together. But you had the balls to admit you lost your head, so kudos for that.
