So, I'm reading these books on conflict resolution, one entitled "The Leader as Martial Artist" (look, Maw, I'm a Badass Ninja! (TM) (et seq), you're a ninja, he's a ninja, she's a ninja, wouldn't cha like to be a ninja too...) 
...which is very much in line with the sort of schooling I'm getting right now, trying to wed the personal ("innerwork") with the political ("worldwork") and the spiritual/metaphysical (he speaks of "timespirits" as a concept, which sounds pretentious until you realize o yeah it's just the translation of "zeitgeist," I guess that works), 
...and doing the work at school, and it's all very nice, and i think i'm like getting all evolved and shit, you know. 
and so then I'm talking on the phone to the best friend, and he's betching about his asshole boss, and I was all, "You should just, like, kill her." 
and then I was all, y'know, at the same time I'm theoretically and - hopefully- practically learning to be this more wise and compassionate etc. etc. etc.? increasingly and more quickly I find myself coming to the conclusion in various given dwamas: 
"Fuck, no, I don't want to deal with that bullshit.  Where's my  brick?" 
OI LOVE MOI BRICK!!!1!!
 "Maybe we're seeing another side to belledame.  A more caring, considerate--" *thunk*   
 "AHHH, FECK IT!!"
