We, the folks from Counter Productive Lover – a CIC House Team –
were given the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing blog. This will be
our first entry. We will be expressing feelings, thoughts, noticeable
trends and any other goings on that interest us/you. As our opening
entry, we would like to share a short bit about ourselves both as a
group and as individuals.
Right now we are gathered together as a group to eat an oversized
chili dinner before a show. Is this one of the dumber moves a team has
made before a show? Yes. But is it any dumber than making a late-night
decision to find out who can tolerate the most vicious back-whip with
a leather belt? No. Fact is, in a pain competition, nobody wins. Or
everybody wins, depending on your stance.
Though the endless fascination with watching someone writhe in pain
while simultaneously being aware that your fascination is not
necessarily appropriate to adult human behavior is an exercise in
learning about the self. And that is ultimately the goal of our
group, to test our boundaries against the bare back of the soul. Or
as is the case with the chili, the indigestion of the soul.
The Flamingos fly at night.
