About Me
I have noticed through years of keen research, that there can be very little doubt that we creatures known as humans tend to be very emotionally expressive. REALLY!!!! And if you need an obvious example of this desire for exuberant self-expression, I suggest you observe the Tom Cruise couch-jumping, stupid-grinning, shouting-out-loud, scaring-away-children "incident" on the Oprah Winfrey Show a couple years back.

Now that’s a freaking emotional EXPLOSION!!!!

And all of this was because he was in "LOVE"....

As we love to express, well, Love. Or Hate for that matter when we feel the need arise within. In fact, even from the day we are born we display our various emotions as we naturally cry for attention. To clearly express our emotional pleasure or pain, creating positive or negative expressions for others to observe and relate to. And whether the emotions are, joy or sorrow, elation or despair, courage or fear, and so on and so forth, does not matter, as we instinctively try to project our various experienced emotions beyond ourselves. Naturally using a wide variety of expressive methods such as laughing, snickering, giggling, smiling, smirking, cheering, screaming, raging, crying, or even couch-jumping and stupid-grinning.

And there is a very good reason why and how we behave as such. Oh yes indeed. As I realized that this Behavioural phenomenon of instinctively expressing emotions is exceedingly important for our very survival. This is the very ability that allows for us to effectively and efficiently interact, communicate, and relate our emotional thoughts and desires to others, in an effort to form emotional bonds within our various social environments. Thus creating a strong possibility for our very survival within a social group.

So I created a Behavioural Science concept a few years back to explain this intriguing emotional phenomenon. To not only understand and define why we behave as we do, yet also how we can even communicate our various emotions to others.

And you start by conceptually imagining us as an "Emotional Sponge".

Then imagine that every emotion is like a "fluid", and just like any porous physical sponge, imagine how we can naturally "Absorb", then "Store", and even "Expel" these positive and negative emotions that we experience every second of our lives. There are the positive ones that give us pleasure, and likewise there are the negative ones that give us pain. And then imagine the positive emotions are like clear, light liquids, and likewise, the negative emotions are like dark, heavy liquids. As I noticed that just like in the real world, the heavier negative emotions will easily displace the lighter positive ones when put into a container. Explaining how some people who suffer from depression, thus have a hard time relating to positive emotions.

Now what is truly important to understand is that every emotional expression is really a form of "symbolic" information. As we learn over the years to attach a symbolic meaning or definition to each emotional expression we experience, thus allowing us to analyze emotions and instinctively know what the expression represents. And as I stated above, this emotional "symbolic" information can be transferred in a number of various methods, such as laughing, crying, dancing, writing, or using any other of our physical actions to transfer these emotions to someone else.

For example, a person verbally telling you a good joke will naturally give you a sense of happiness, a positive emotion that creates a sense of emotional pleasure, which you then naturally "Absorb". You will then "Store" this gained emotional pleasure in a form of a memory. And finally, you can then "Expel" this stored emotional pleasure by telling someone else the joke. That they will then naturally "Absorb", then "Store", and can then "Expel" this emotional pleasure in a laugh. Yet, every time you "Expel" this emotion, you naturally lose a certain part of the pleasure. Which explains if you tell or hear the same joke over and over again, it becomes less positive or funny each time. Yet fortunately you may also "Absorb" more emotional pleasure from the other persons' pleasurable reaction when they "Absorb" this positive information.

Especially if they just so happen to be drinking milk at the time and begin to snort it out of their nose when they laugh.

Now that’s just freaking funny.

Ahem, moving on....

However, like any physical container, there is definable limit to the amount we can "Store" at one time. And if we can not "Expel" the negative emotions quickly enough in a positive manner, they will displace the positive ones until we are filled with nothing but this negative emotional "sludge". And the danger I have repeatably observed, is that this "sludge" will transfer, or "leak" out of us and into everything we do or say, negatively affecting everyone around us, as they "Absorb" this "sludge". Hence there is a potential emotional danger to those around us because of this effect. Because if we do "Expel" this "Stored" pain to another, this simply causes subconscious guilt for transferring pain to another. And since guilt is definably a form of emotional pain, this simply adds to the already existent levels of negative emotions within us.

Thus this Behavioural concept explains why even though someone may suffer from a high level of negative emotions, and greatly desire to "Expel" them, they will not, because it causes pain to others. Hence they tend to "bottle" up their emotions, building up the emotional pressure to a certain point, until they can no longer "Store" anymore emotions, and emotionally "EXPLODE"!!!! And this is the exact same phenomenon for positive emotions, which explains people who express themselves in couch-jumping, stupid-grinning, shouting-out-loud, and scaring-away-children "incidences".

Now this problem is compounded when we are continually subjected to negative emotions, as the natural instinct of the mind is to protect ourselves. This is perfectly natural, yet creates an emotional "crust" to form around the "Emotional Sponges" that we are. This protective barrier does help prevent some of the negative emotions from being absorbed, as we become naturally resistant to exterior sources of experienced pain, but it will also prevent us from "Expelling" them easily. Or gaining pleasure easily as well.

Regardless, what I realized is truly important, this is not an issue if we learn how to "Expel", or dispose of any emotional "sludge" in a positive and effective manner that does not cause pain to others. Thus creating more room within you as an "Emotional Sponge", for far more pleasingly positive and satisfying emotions. Allowing for more pleasure and happiness, that I know everyone could use more of.

Just a Thought.

First Date
What is this thing called a "date"? What bizarre concepts and ideas does this site speak of? Is this some sort of strange and weird human mating ritual designed to create as many embarrassingly awkward situations as humanly possible and then be forced to look back upon later and wonder how the hell anyone ever gets together? If this is true, honestly, who the hell would what to do that? No thank you Mr. Plenty of Fish. I want no part of that unnecessary foolishness and awkwardness, no way....

Instead, let's knock of Death's door and run!!!!

He hates that....

And on a personal note, I would love to thank those for expressing an interest in my Just a Thought series of profile articles, and welcome your input. Yet due to the larger volume of messages, I may not be able to reply immediately, but trust me, I will. So if you have any questions, comments, or death threats, feel free to include them, and I will truthfully respond by using my super-duper, patented form of "Less-than-helpful-means-of-getting-laid-often" honesty.

Except for the death threats, I think I will let my lawyer handle those....



I'll leave you with a few of my own quotes to ponder just for fun:

"As a long time artist, I have come to view life as a form of art all onto itself. We craft this art/life everyday with the actions we perform, the words we speak, and the emotions we express. It can be a blend of bleak darkness or bright colour, simple or complex, detailed or surreal, beautiful or grotesque. The true question is simple, as the artists' of our lives, in the end of our time, will we be happy with what we created, or horrified?"

"Rare is the true woman, a beauty beyond others in almost every way. She is smart, witty, stimulating, very sexy, and worth every effort to know. She will challenge you to be your best, and will give you hers' easily if you deserve it. She is the one that you will never want to let out of your arms.

Ever."

"The path to Love is a two way street. That seems to be always under construction."

"Love is well worth the effort, if the effort is well rewarded with Love."

"I would rather be honest, and wait to have something true, than lie now, and have it for but a moment."

Feeling pain? You don’t need to feel like this. Most of us live within an illusion that we cannot feel another way; which is completely and absolutely false…simply because we really don't know any better. Why do we have feelings? What do our feelings tell us? This person is a remarkable human being with a keen perception of reality. He will challenge you to do what you didn’t know you could do until you know what success looks like and you are able to heal the pain and see the strengths that exist because of it. We have all had our share of the judgments other people have made about us based on their LIMITED perception of who they think we are, but since their perception is based on a mere few moments, how can their judgments define ALL that we are? I have spent countless of hours talking with this person often well into the night ~ he has that much useful knowledge to impart and he is delightfully interesting as an added bonus! He overwhelms me on a regular basis by whom he is: unique, creative, interesting, caring and intelligent (I do not throw this word around loosely btw). This is truly a quality individual. He is a sweetheart (even when he doesn’t seem to be – LOL). He has a high level of integrity that is hugely attractive and I take comfort in knowing I can be me (whoever “me” is) happily open to say, think, or do whatever it is that is an expression of “me”. I value his friendship very much! He is simply amazing, basically humble and incredibly annoying (kidding…he, he, he…mostly). Seriously though, his mind is too sexy and often his stories are stories within stories as he is a deep accepting soul, who sees the world that we live in, with perfect clarity. Trust me when I say, “Keep an open mind” ~ he knows so much and he is very patient in his methods.

I met Michael a year ago on this site and have had the pleasure of getting to know him. This man is never at a loss for words. The conversations are interesting and unique. He's funny -he's had me literally laughing out loud too many times to count. Get to know him and you will meet a very caring and a thoughtful man. The first thing you will notice is that he has a great deal of respect for all woman. I would like to see him find a really smart woman who can challange his intellect. Best Fishes!

The1Artist has 2 roses that can be sent.
