I was on the bus yesterday, and it was the first time in a long while i have actually felt like committing murder.
There was a little lad, maybe 3 years old, sitting in front of me with his sister, shooting everyone on the bus with some kind of plastic-disc firing toy contraption. He seemed only able to make one sound, a kind of high-pitched pseudo-shriek unlike anything i have ever heard. It was worse than smojphace, i tell thee. Anyway, this leads to my questions:
Do you feel like you would be a good parent? Do you want to have children? My answers to both of these questions would be a resounding "no". I think i'd end up killing my hypothetical children through sheer, grinding annoyance, not even counting the horrible responsibility raising a child for 18 or more years.
And those of you who actually have kids: how the hell do you fucking cope?

I could never be a parent because I have a tendency to lash out at those weaker than me. Plus I fuckin' hate kids, which wouldn't be a positive factor. And on top of that reproducing by humans should be stopped, we've done enough damage already..

I don't want to have children. it's a purely logical thing for me - I come from a kind of fucked up environment so I don't think I can be a good parent.
on the other hand, as you might know I rent a room at a kind of artist's workplace thingy, where also the ensemble works which I write texts for and a lot of other artists and all these people are in their early thirties and are having children left, right and center.
and then it does seem kind of nice, when you see how happy they are.
*sigh*

I just tried posting in a non-existant topic.
that definately makes me unfit to be a parent.

I just see how my brother (who's older than me) still has trouble coping with life and I see the trouble I've been through the last 7 years and I just think that's not a healthy basis.
it's purely rational though, who knows what'll happen if I meet the right person, etc.

Yeah, it is heartening to see people with a shedload of kids who are happy and fulfilled with their "role as Parent" or whatever. But right now, i can't see that being the road for me. Aside from the teeth-grinding and fist-restraining, i couldn't deal with being tied to a parenting situation, schoolz and daytrips to the zoo and such. Maybe i'll feel different 10 years down the line.

teehee! :)
it's the Rosa Ensemble in Utrecht. they're doing a kind of program of Captain Beefheart-songs. the music has been arranged and reinterpreted by a friend of mine, who is part of the ensemble as a composer (he posts on the board as Bremzen). all the lyrics have been translated to Dutch and I did about half of the translations.
I'm also writing the libretto for an opera - Bremzen will be composing the music and in about 2 years it will be a full production, with the Rosa Ensemble.
recently I've been remixing some of Rosa's recordings, and maybe parts of my work will be used in an upcoming Rosa-cd.
and a lot of people who also rent a workingplace here (including myself and Bremzen) together with Rosa are now trying to set up our own label.. but thats still in the planningstages!
