Yesterday, in a therapy group, we discussed this quote by Nikita Gill.

To love yourself should be no quiet affair, but a loud uprising. — Nikita Gill
About a month ago, when I watched a loud uprising of men’s and women’s anger about the USA’s latest Supreme Court Justice, I wrote a song — “I’m Mad About You” — which I debuted last night at an Open Mic.
In case those lyrics aren’t loud enough in that video, here they are, uprising:
I’m Mad About You
I’m mad about you.
You make me feel blue.
You make me so angry
And that isn’t new.
The things you do to enrage me,
Cage me and disengage me
Make me scream and dream of murdering you,
And I’m mad about you.
I’m mad about you.
You’re worse than the flu.
I’m pissed that you’re out there
And that’s always true.
You make me want to annoy you,
Toy with you and destroy you,
Yell and tell the horrible things that you do.
And I’m mad about you.
You may be curious
Why I’m so furious.
I’ll try to make things plain,
As I continue to womansplain.
The things you say to inflame me,
Shame me, blame me, and maim me
Should return, concern, and burn you-know who.
Because I’m mad about you.
I’m mad about you.
No, I’m not quite through.
You make me so bullshit,
I spit this at you.
I wish I could disappear you,
Never hear or be near you,
Oy, oh boy, the joy to be rid of you,
Because I’m mad, not sad, not glad, just mad about you.

Two people yesterday told me they believe that song could go viral, which would be a loud uprising for me. Every loud uprising starts with a small sound (especially if you have only 11 subscribers on YouTube), so I’ve quietly posted that performance here.
Do you notice any loud uprisings in my other photos from yesterday?














The gentleman on the right in that last photo is Ben, who creates a loud and supportive uprising at the start of my performance of “I’m Mad About You”.
I’m looking forward to a loud uprising at the USA mid-term elections on Tuesday, November 6. I’m also looking forward to uprisings of any volume in the comments section, below.
Thanks to all who helped me create the loud uprisings in today’s post and — of course! — to YOU.
