Hemingway Has "Winked" at You

When people actually wrote letters and had pen pals, I remember thinking how cool that was. I don't think I was the only one. When I see movies about the past, usually there is a romantic take to letter writing, as if the content of the letter is somehow more profound written in ink and set to paper than if...

Started lifting weights again today. I'm so out of shape from being lazy all winter. I hate winter. I'm cold all the time. When I visited Cambodia last October I felt great for once. I loved the heat and humidity. And the food! Oh my god, I still haven't recovered from how good the food was. I crave it all the time.

I have to...

I'm in a Godsmack mood today. Somedays rock feels like religion. Some hard rock, loud, heavy guitars (I wish I could play like that) and bass. Ah, soul soothing. Feel it in my heart. Feel it in my lungs as I sing along. Yeah, its a sing-a-long. Didn't you know? My little Ovation will never keep up. *Sigh*

We are all tattooed in our cradles with the beliefs of our tribe; the record may seem superficial, but it is indelible. You cannot educate a man wholly out of superstitious fears which were implanted in his imagination, no matter how utterly his reason may reject them.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (1841 - 1935)


On a more superficial level, I got a tattoo today! It...

There are few nudities so objectionable as the naked truth.
Agnes Repplier (1855 - 1950)

I could walk down the street naked and get into much less trouble than I get into just for speaking the truth. The truth is a tricky thing. Everyone thinks they know the truth, but their truths are based on foundations of lies, built up to support their weaknesses and...

I really have no regrets. Not about things I've done. What I have is lots of anger, which is a goods place for me to be right now. When I get pissed, things get done. Right now I am really angry. ("You wouldn't like me when I'm angry") I'm angry at my self for letting things progress to this point. I'm angry about others limitations....

Mantra

I'm done. I've made the choices I've made and either I'll live with them or I'll make a change. I will quit feeling sorry for myself. The past doesn't matter, only the choices that I make now. I'm done with the blaming and the whining. I'm done with my past. I will not be run by it anymore. I will run it, and use...

Girls night was fun, but ended earlier than I expected. Mistress Medusa, you were the most fun!

It's girls night tonight and it's a good thing. I'm wallowing in self pity today and getting ready for this will make me stop. Tonight will be fun.

It's amazing how many imaginary cages I have built for myself. I'm always wanting to be free to do whatever I want, yet always thinking about who my freedom will hurt. Maybe it's called being an adult,...

I decided to change today. Which is why I love digital photography. I can get tired of myself and change. It's just a bit tougher in real life.

I'm kind of liking the new me; maybe I'll go dark next. Maybe not. Colored contacts would be in order. Hmmm. Who do I want to be anyway?
