the struggle for levity

i want levity in all matters. death, disease, loneliness- what's plaguing you? whatever it is, cheer up! you are going to get very upset if you try to view things realistically. and that, my friend, is the height of realism- and the conundrum that is the beauty of "levity girl".
there is only one major flaw in the quest to take everything lightly. it becomes a way of life. this gets in the way mainly when one watches moving feature films. it's very, very embarrassing for the "levity girl" to let others know she has real emotions. flaws in her pseudo-armor.
now, you might think that someone who tries to downplay the horrors around her would not be so bothered by the ubiquitous sound plaguing our airways. the sound of bands like train and matchbox twenty. well, never fear! "levity girl" takes a very, very lax view toward assasination. or rather, the lack thereof. cheesey rock bands are causing a far more pervasive terror than most world leaders could hope to produce. so where, i ask, are the assasination attempts? where is the revolution? don't tell me that we already had it and that this is the resulting synthesis! that would make "levity girl" very aggressivelty un-lighthearted. then she would have to take off her levity suit. then she would feel naked and lack the levity needed to deal with situation. it just creates a whole heap of trouble.
the end

The unbearable lightness of being?

I think that the cheesy rock bands, though now largely extinct, are just a manifestation of the levity girl thing.

A mock horror to try to distract from the realities of life and also the creeping terror of the unknown that awaits us all around every corner.

how do you know if they are largely extinct? you never leave your
house and know nothing of the outside world. i'll have you know they
have a firm grip on the general population. and i hate them. and they
are not a manifestation of the levity girl thing. don't make me
embarrass you on my blog.

You and your musical ivory towers.

Sure, I don't listen to the radio much, but rock's death started in 1974 when bad company was released.

And no, Korn doesn't count as rock, and metallica is about dead now too.

Rock is GONE.

Speaking of Metallica, what about "cunning stunts" ? Innocent or not?

Nope. I was referring to the first-letter-switch-potential. Right up your alley, I would have thought:)
