Hell Hath No Wrath Like the Contrast Podcast
We've finally reached the seventh of the seven deadly sins in the contrast podcast series and the last sin is "Wrath." Go here to listen to it. Next week will be another "Musicians Introduce Their Own Songs" episode, so you'll want to check that out, too.
I found the perfect song: "The Wrath of Marcie" by The Go! Team. It doesn't sound all that wrathful but I ask you, how could I resist the title?
I've been thinking a lot about this subject. It's closely associated with anger, but I think it's substantively different. I think wrath implies action whereas anger is simply an emotion. That is to say, I get angry about a lot of stuff but not everything or everyone incurs my wrath.
And thank god for that, because I can be one mean son of a bitch. You're probably surprised at that. I seem so nice, don't I? I'm not really. Well, let's put it this way, I'm usually quite nice until I get sufficiently angry and then you'd better watch out.
Unfortunately, my anger and ensuing wrath have gotten me into a lot of trouble over the years, much to my dismay. Much to my shame. There are things I've said and done that I would never forgive if someone had done them to me, so I'm working on learning to control myself so that I don't continue to do damage, as the price is just too high. Maybe I'll accomplish it by the time I die!
The Go! Team--"The Wrath of Marcie" mp3 off Proof of Youth (buy) I can't understand much of anything she sings so I looked up the lyrics (which don't seem completely accurate here) and it still doesn't seem all that angry to me. Oh well, it's catchy as all hell.

Me, too, but now when I get that made, I just blame it on
hormones and middle age! ;)
