Happily ever after.

"Everything is easy for "Bob." Even his most hellish mission is like an

everlasting holiday. What he wants to happen just happens to be what's
going to happen, anyway. This can work for you, too, if you will only want
what "Bob" wants. You , like "Bob," would then be able to pack a lot of
action into each day without "doing" a damn thing."

-The Book of the Subgenius

"Let's stain the walls with our mistakes"
-Amy

I was talking to a woman recently
and she had just broken up
with a guy
because she decided
he didn't display sufficient interest in her
or he broke up
with her
because he decided
he apparently wasn't her type
the chronology was kind of ambiguous.

whatever the case may be
someone was being compared
with some kind of ideal
and was found lacking.

the underlying assumption being
we must find the right person
in order to have the right relationship.

Right?

There's a minority of people
for whom that has already happened.

But generally,
it seems,
most of us stumble along
from relationship to relationship
experiencing varying degrees of
ecstasy and misery.

And after the end,
we pick ourselves up
and we resolve
"okay, I will learn from this,
next time will be better,
I will learn from past mistakes
in order to
a more perfect union."

And it keeps not working out.
We are fully prepared
to win the battles we lost before,
but this is a completely new map.

But why fight it?
Why, for that matter, feel defeated?
If our images of perfect love are proven wrong
again and again.
And our own experience of love is a
mad beautiful volatile fragile thing
Let's embrace what know to be true.
With eyes wide open
Charge straight into pleasure and discomfort.
Tip over those sacred cows.
No matter how crazy this is going
or how crazy it's going to get
The only way out is through
and I will not abandon you.

way to go

Haven't visited Vox in a while
lot of my neighbors have not updated

moved on maybe to some other site
have gone back
into real life

Many of my posts
especially the ones
referencing
that ephemeral wonder
that is YouTube
are suffering from link-rot

I like that.
These empty shells
 are evidence
that the creatures
incubating within
have broken free and
escaped to parts unknown.

The Pretenders - My City Was Gone

No soliciting, and moving right along...

Met someone I hadn't seen in a while.

Judas Priest - Diamonds and Rust

Judas Priest-Diamonds and Rust

DIAMONDS
DIAMONDS
DI-A-MONDS

I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you decided to call
And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall

We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Now I see you standing
 with brown leaves falling around
And snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the
 window of that crummy hotel
Over a Memphis Tennessee square
Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and there

Now you're telling me
 you're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague
'Cause I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes, I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid

We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Diamonds Diamonds and Rust

Diamonds Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds Diamonds and Rust

I don't want no more diamonds and rust

Alright
Thank you very much indeed
perhaps a point worth mentioning
you might see these extra bodies
 on stage tonight
Judas Priest movie
And occasionally
 the camera turns to you
which makes us
 all a bunch of film stars
Isn't that wonderful
We're also recording
tonight's show for
a possible live album, Memphis

Eat, Pray, Love...Create

Elizabeth Gilbert: A new way to think about creativity

Battlestar Galactica season finale (spoilery)

I rather like the idea that
the last four seasons
becomes our pre-history
and the rag tag fleet's
 legacy to us
is a fresh start
 in our lives today

We watch
unable to stop
the broken Galactica
from flying into the light.
We turn away from the tv screen
turn to face our own aching world
readying ourselves
to do the work
to make this whole.

This has all happened before
Now that we know this,
 let's make something new

So say we all.

I want to spit tax

Eartha Kitt - I Want To Be Evil (Live Kaskad 1962)

I've posed for pictures with Ivory Soap,

I've petted stray dogs, and shied clear of dope

My smile is brilliant, my glance is tender

But I'm noted most for my unspoiled gender

I've been made Miss Rheingold, though I never touch beer,

And I'm the person to whom they say, "Your sweet, My Dear."

The only etchings I've seen have been behind glass,

And the closest I've been to a bar, is at ballet class.

Prim and proper, the girl who's never been cased,

I'm tired of being pure and not chased.

Like something that seeks it's level

I wanna go to the devil.

I wanna be evil, I wanna spit tacks

I wanna be evil, and cheat at jacks

I wanna be wicked, I wanna tell lies

I wanna be mean, and throw mud pies

I want to wake up in the morning

with that dark brown taste

I want to see some dissipation in my face

I wanna be evil, I wanna be mad

But more that that I wanna be bad

I wanna be evil, and trump an ace,

Just to see my partner's face.

I wanna be nasty, I wanna be cruel

I wanna be daring, I wanna shoot pool

And in the theatre

I want to change my seat

Just so I can step on

Everybody's feet

I wanna be evil, I wanna hurt flies

I wanna sing songs like the guy who cries

I wanna be horrid, I wanna drink booze

And whatever I've got I'm eager to lose

I wanna be evil, little evil me

Just as mean and evil as I can be
