EMO TOOLS seemed a perfectly contradictory topic to me.
It was the subject of my 3rd generator.
Tools are inert, non-living, unfeeling objects.
Emos are emotionally over-wrought human beings, full of adolescent angst.
Used together they described implements for the sensitive do-it-yourself guy.
This is an obnoxious point of view, I think, to refer to a fellow who works at home
on projects made with wood or metal this way, as if being 'sensitive' were an oxymoron.
That's why I used the 2 words together: for the jarring effect.
The word 'tool' means a useless individual when used in a slang way.
Thus an 'emo tool' could be a person who is so emotional that it gets in the way
of any valuable activity. Being overwhelmed by emotion can render a person
inoperative.
My favorite tools are my spring-loaded scissors, the keyboard to my computer, and
Bic Stick Pens. A spoon is also useful. I don't like to eat using a fork. Forks are
sharp. I also like to eat using a straw. None of these items are capable of
experiencing emotion. I can have feelings regarding them. I particularly have feelings
regarding these objects, if for some reason, they are unavailable.
I liked some music by MCR, but I didn't think they were emo.
Most emo music I have heard was insipid.
Possibly I would have thought it was admirable when I was 16.
Things can seem larger and more interesting when they are new to a person.
When I was 16 it would have been new to me that people could express themselves
about their feelings. That sort of activity seems not to have been encouraged by
my family. Crying at funerals was to be minimal. Anger was only for my parents.
They didn't expect me to be angry. Laughing was for everybody, though.
I have feelings; I recognize my feelings and can name them. Sometimes when
people speak, I don't understand what it is they are feeling. This can produce a
color in my head. I am keeping a list of the colors that people speaking have
made, so that I can correlate it to words in English that describe their situation.
