romantic negation + Juan Stewart : Oui! LP

It's simple to avoid responsibility, much too simple.

Anyway, I think I've been reading way too much Marxist(esque) theory or something. Shit is starting to seep into how I view romantic relationships and how each relationship signifies a phase that will be negated. The relationship will be negated by another relationship that it unconsciously gave rise to.
Basically, I've had an idea rolling around in my head...romantic negation.
So, let us say that you are in relationship, right? (Unluckily for me, that is not the case) Let's go on to say that the relationship is terrible and that there is a lack of autonomy for the two involved. Or better yet (like a true Marxist analysis?) for this hypothetical relationship, that the relationship between the two is unequal. Ex: You - Happy/Partner - Unhappy. Unfortunately, your partner puts up with your shit, hoping for the best because apparently it will come someday. (Can somebody say reform politics? Attack the effects, but not the structures that cause the effects) Or your partner does not realize that the relationship between you two is just not working out. For her to realize that, she has to have some type of consciousness (like class consciousness) to "mobilize" for change. When the blindfold has been removed and she has become conscious of the unequal relationship (romantic exploitation?), she can begin to transcend the relationship in some way. One possibility is that she meets a nice person, someone that she feels she connects to. That is the possibility of a new beginning, of envisioning a new relationship. Something that is based on less "exploitative" grounds, something where both meet at halfway. Essentially, once you entered the relationship, you began a process of negation. Your relationship will give rise to a new relationship, which will negate the one you are currently in.
I'm assuming that it isn't always like this, but there are many people in the world and it's difficult to find that one person that you are completely compatible with. Until then, it will be a process of negation, until:
1)You stop being an asshole
2)You find someone that is compatible
3)Applicable to males: Redefine masculinity
etc etc etc

Maybe, I'll develop this a bit more, but these are essentially random thoughts and ideas.

The point is that I have some 'chill' music to upload:

Juan Stewart: Oui!



Nueve temas from an Argentine that orchestrates instrumental music that is extremely simple in structure. Beautifully minimal, in the sense that there is a lack of musical shredding. Imagine a sunny sunday in santa cruz or a walk through a green forest with the sun shining through the trees. Simply put: Brilliantly simple.
