Hey Kids! It’s this week’s Channeling Erik Post!: http://www.channelingerik.com/new-years-revolution/

Here’s this week’s CE post:  http://www.channelingerik.com/frankie-say-relax/

I’ve already gotten a few emails from people telling me they especially enjoyed this one.  Thank you all, I really appreciate the feedback!

Just for funzies, here’s the Alice Cooper song Erik’s referencing:

And here’s En Vogue’s “Free your mind”.  Now imagine them layered over each other.  It’s a cool sound!

Elisa posted my latest CE contribution!

I’m glad she posted it early because I plan on riffing of of it for my next post here 🙂

This conversation with Erik yesterday had a huge impact on me.

So right after that last post, Erik was like, “Look up gun control on CE.” So I did, and found this:

It’s a similar conversation that Erik had with Jamie & Elisa. As I’ve said before, I don’t read the other CE posts in general because I don’t want my own opinions / ideas about what he’s said in the past to others to influence our conversations. I think that helps to keep in interesting for both of us, since Erik usually has to start explaining a concept from scratch with me before he can take it to the next level – he’s got to get me up to speed. An Erik de-briefing, if you will.

Yes, savour that imagery.

Okay, so there are TWO Channeling Erik posts to update:

This one:

And this one:

The title “Little Hitlers” didn’t come until right before I sent it to Elisa. The image for it was a whole bunch of cartoon mini Hitler smurfs. It was one of the weirdest images Erik’s given me so far, including the icing-in-the-butt thing.

Boys.

I’m enjoying that my post is right beside one titled “Gays in Heaven”

I won’t get into the visuals that phrase inspires!

Gosh, I have to say I’m not a fan of the term “gays”, nor any term that takes a descriptor and makes it a category: disabled, suicides, addicts etc. it’s taking one aspect of a person and is defining their whole person by that one trait.

My sister is not a disabled or handicapped. She is a person with a disability. My friend is not an addict nor a druggie, he is a person with an addiction. I am not a gay, I am a woman who lives with another woman.

You see what I’m sayin’? One thing, even if its a big thing – it doesn’t define all you are. It sure doesn’t separate you from anyone else after you die, either.

This is why some folks say, “labels ate for soup cans.”

I’m totally stoked over this week’s Channeling Erik post. Every once and a while I feel like we *really* hit it.

Enjoy!
