Appropriately Fitting

Jamie's Existing Situation
Active, but feels that insufficient progress or reward is being made for the effort exerted.

Jamie's Stress Sources
The existing situation is disagreeable. Has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own, and to stand out from the rank and file. His control of his sensual instincts restricts his ability to give himself, but the resulting isolation leads to the urge to surrender and allow himself to merge with another. This disturbs him, as such instincts are regarded as weaknesses to be overcome; he feels that only by continued self-restraint can he hope to maintain his attitude of individual superiority. Wants to be loved or admired for himself alone; needs attention, recognition, and the esteem of others.

Jamie's Restrained Characteristics
Remains emotionally unattached even when involved in a close relationship.
Feels that he is receiving less than his share and that there is no one on who he can rely for sympathy and understanding. Pent-up emotions make him quick to take offense, but he realizes that he has to make the best of things as they are.

Jamie's Desired Objective
Tries to escape from his problems, difficulties, and tensions by abrupt, headstrong, and ill-considered decisions or changes of direction.

Jamie's Actual Problem
Feels insufficiently valued in his existing situation, and is seeking different conditions in which he will have greater opportunity of demonstrating his worth.

Jamie's Actual Problem #2
The fear that he may be prevented from achieving the things he wants leads him into a relentless search for satisfaction in the pursuit of illusory or meaningless activities.

Country Covers

I rarely, if ever listen to country. I can't stand it. One of the guys at work always has it on. I get to hear all the shit that was such a catch as a pop tune, the country star had to do a rendition of it too! There's far too many to list. Today I heard Rascal Flatts, "Life is a Highway." As if the original still doesn't get annoying or enough airplay. I can't stand Rascal Flatts. The lead singer looks like my aunt's ex boyfriend. He's probably his illegitimate son. A couple of other country covers that come to mind is "I Swear" and "I Could Not Ask For More."
The masses are asses.

Living Dead Girl

I don't recall ever going to a funeral visitation where there's no body. I've been to visitations where the deceased was going to be cremated, but there was still a showing. My Mom's cousin died over the weekend. The visitation was last night. I only recall meeting the lady once when I was way younger. The whole thing just felt odd. I didn't see anyone crying. Everyone was just gathered around and talking amongst themselves. There was a bulletin board up with different photos. I'm not complaining. I was glad to not walk into a room where everyone was sobbing. That's no good, especially when you're practically a stranger!
I bring all this up because my Mom has said for years that she wants to be cremated. I don't know if I really want my body burned. Maybe I'll have mine donated to a wax museum or they can just lay it out in a field for forensic research.
I just couldn't get sense of closure, if there's no body. And, how could you not go to your own parents' funerals? Bitch.
