1. Cruiserweight - Calling You From Hell
2. The Weakerthans - None Of The Above
Possibly THE BEST lyrics to a song ever. Maybe it’s just because I associate it with a specific person and a certain time, but fuck it destroys me every damn time…
"All night restaurant, North Kildonan. Luke warm coffee tastes like soap.
I trace your outline in spilled sugar, killing time and killing hope.
This brand new strip mall chews on farmland as we fish for someone to blame.
But we communicate in questions, and all our answers sound the same.
Under sputtering flourescents, after re-fills are re-filled. Negotiations at a stand-still,
spoon and rolling saucer stilled. If you ask how I got so bitter, I'll ask how
you got so vain. And all our questions blur together. The answers always sound
the same. We can't look at one another. I'll say something thoughtful soon, but
I can't listen to the quiet so I hum this mindless tune I stole from some dumb
country-rock star. I don't even know his name. It's like my stupid little
questions: the answers always sound the same.Tell me why I have to miss you so.
Tell me why we sound so lame. Why we communicate in questions and all our
answers sound the same."

"Swearing Makes Pain More Tolerable".....
I'm applying this too emotional pain as well, so go fuck yourselves!
Swearing Makes Pain More Tolerable
That muttered curse word that reflexively comes out when you stub your toe could actually make it easier to bear the throbbing pain, a new study suggests.
Swearing is a common response to pain, but no previous research has connected the uttering of an expletive to the actual physical experience of pain.
"Swearing has been around for centuries and is an almost universal human linguistic phenomenon," said Richard Stephens of Keele University in England and one of the authors of the new study. "It taps into emotional brain centers and appears to arise in the right brain, whereas most language production occurs in the left cerebral hemisphere of the brain."
