battle damage.

repetitive stress.
as in,
the more the same thing happens over and over,
the more it gradually wears away at the actor,
rather than the action.
for example:
tattooing has destroyed my thumb and wrist.
carpal devastation is at hand, literally.
another example:
the dogs go apesh!t bananas whenever a visitor comes over,
and bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and bark.........
(repetitive, AND stressful)
and then i pull an incredible hulk impersonation,
and SMASH! something.
which always somehow hurts me more than the inanimate (or sometimes very animate) object of my ire.
you'd think i'd figure out a more productive and  less reliably self-injurious method of venting the excess pressure out of the hot fire furnace and barbarian boiler.
i read somewhere (i'm pretty sure einstein said it) craziness is defined by doing the exact same thing over and over,
and expecting a different result every time.
which sounds a lot like chaos theory, too.
(like in jurassic park, remember?)
either way,
my knuckles are shredded,
and my thumb is sore (it really DOES stick out, ironically).
i'm just sayin'.
it's okay to go berserk.
just pick your spots. y'know?
the battle is not the war,
and life WILL still kill you eventually.
single elimination, ninjas;

now, who's gettin' tatzapped in boston?
i keeps it real,
never quiet, never soft.......
