Branding Yourself with the Warm End.

Are you branded? Think about it... maybe even check your ass. That's most likely where the branding would be. It would be on your ass. Unless you were a marine, then it would probably be on your leg, at least that's what Jar Head taught me. Or was that movie about the Army? I can never remember I honestly got distracted after the hot sex scenes that opened the movie. But enough about that.

We're here to talk not about sex (that's tomorrow) but instead about branding. Yours, mine, everyones.

Branding is best known as the process in which we take a large heated metal rod with a stylized tip and stab it into the ass of a living creature. We do this, so that other people will recognize that we in fact own that animal. We do this to have possession over the animal. We do this because rings don't fit on hooves. Image if we could just do that for marriage too. On the honeymoon men would just bend their wives over and thrust a rod into their ass.... wait.... how is this different?

Anyways, back to our topic.

Branding, is not just for cows (and overly excitable S & M couples) no branding has many other meanings and purposes in contemporary society.

Social purposes.

In the context of Social Psychology, which is often called Sociology or among some more snobbish scientists little bitch science, Branding is also used as a way of categorizing people based on their images that they display. This makes it more like the Corporate definition of the word which means product that's just as good as all the others, except like forty times more expensive, and oddly enough better presented. In the case of milk the off-brand is usually just the name brand in the shitty container. Anyways, for our purposes let's say that a brand is an image that is given off.

What is your brand? Think about it... What is it? What do you wear? What do you say? How do you do it? How does your room look? Are you aware that we are so bored with our own lives that we aren't even taking the time to do anything but watch you so that define you? Did you stab yourself in the ass with your own hot metal stick?

People are very concerned in Seattle with the image that you're putting off. They are very concerned. Why nobody, myself included, knows. But they are. At work people turn down bags for their books because I might judge them.
