masks - happy halloween

"People had a habit of looking at me as if I were some kind of mirror instead of a person. They didnt see me, they saw their own lewd thoughts, then they white-masked themselves by calling me the lewd one."

Marilyn Monroe
1926-1962

Nelly Furtado - All Good Things

Madly in love with this song.

Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could die

Honestly what will become of me
I don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really life is daily
We are what we don't see
We missed everything daydreaming

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end

Travelling I always stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets it and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why

And the sun was wondering if it should stay away for a day until the feeling went away
And the clouds were dropping and the...
The rain forgot how to bring salvation
The dogs were whistling a new tune barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could die

outlets

People need outlets. Outlets for sex, jealously, love, greed, affection, violence.
Anyone who studies the subject knows that energy cannot be reduced or annihilated; if denied outlet in one form, it soon finds it in another. However, in these substitue forms it is more insistent and obsessive in character than when normally expressed.

Listen to Lithium

Good Charlotte's video for "Keep Your Hands Off My Girl"

Let the record play,
Let the record play,
Let the record play.

The way that you dance,
The way that you move,
The way that you stare at me across the room,
You carry Dior bags,
And you got your Chanel,
You wear Louis Vuitton, HG, and YSL,
Now I got what you need,
I got DCMA
I got brass knuckles hanging,
From my neck in my chain,
I got a model 26,
But she stays in her place,
I got a curve shirt neatly,
Tucked inside in my waist.

sometimes i feel like i am just a well-dressed caboose on a train full of leaders.

"As far as socially redeeming value, I hope I don't have any.
Sometimes I wish I was a woman, just so that I could get an abortion.
If you can make someone laugh who's dead set against you,
that's the first step to winning them over to your side."

~filmaker John Waters

Lily Allen - Littlest Things

Flawless Lily from the U.K. Very 30's Hitchcock. Great melody, voice, piano, and overall execution.

signs

"People break down into two groups when they experience something lucky. Group number one sees it as more than luck, more than coincidence. They see it as a sign, evidence, that there is someone up there, watching out for them. Group number two sees it as just pure luck. Just a happy turn of chance. I'm sure the people in Group number two are looking at those fourteen lights in very suspicious way. For them, the situation isn't fifty-fifty. Could be bad, could be good. But deep down, they feel that whatever happens, they're on their own. And that fills them with fear."

From Signs, M. Night Shyamalan

letting go of the familiar

"Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore."

We like familiarity don’t we? People, places and things that we have knowledge of or have encountered or seen bring us some form of comfort, safety, security and an element of control. I think of how many folks stay stuck in relationships, jobs, geographically etc. simply because they are familiar with their surroundings. For some it means giving up control of their life and to trust in fate. Sometimes the unfamiliar is just so cold, aloof, unfriendly, and leaves that empty homesick feeling in the pit of our stomach.

-French writer Andre Gide

i am sick of hearing

"Wow, you're really nice. I thought you were such a bitch."
Conclusion: smile more.

"Has anyone ever told you you look like Jodie Foster??"
Conclusion: kill. and kill again.

"What about my brain? What about my heart? What about my kidneys and my gallbladder?"
– Scarlett Johansson, voted Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive, on her other attributes

impulses

At any given moment, the brain has 14 billion neurons firing at a speed of 450 miles per hour. We don’t have control over most of them. When we get a chill...goose bumps. When we get excited...adrenaline. The body naturally follows it’s impulses, which I think is part of what makes it so hard for us to control ours. Of course, sometimes we have impulses we would rather not control, that we later wish we had.

Parkour - acrobatic fantastic

Parkour as featured in the "JUMP" video:

Parkour (IPA: [paʁ.'kuʁ], often abbreviated PK) is a physical discipline of French origin in which the participant — called a traceur (/tʁa.'sœʁ/) — attempts to pass obstacles in the fastest and most direct manner possible, using skills such as jumping, vaulting and climbing, or the more specific parkour moves. The obstacles can be anything in the environment, so parkour is often practiced in urban areas because of many suitable public structures, such as buildings, rails, and walls.

Madonna - Jump (preview)


There’s only so much you can learn in one place
The more that I wait, the more time that I waste

I haven’t got much time to waste, it’s time to make my way
I’m not afraid of what I’ll face, but I’m afraid to stay
I’m going down my own road and I can make it alone
I'll work and I'll fight, Till I find a place of my own

Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don’t ever look back, oh baby,
Yes, I’m ready to jump
Just take my hands
Get ready to jump

today i hate complainers, the idea of falling, green foods, silence, and the color orange when not used appropriately.
