I hate the way this mirror makes me look
I’ve been feeling very aware, and very self conscious of, my habit of metering my words and my presence when I’m around people I don’t know that well. I don’t like this. It doesn’t serve me or anyone else. I’m getting very frustrated. My cousin Melissa is one person that I am the least guarded […]
Product Review:Hanes Silk Reflections Transparent Sheer
‘Tis the season for ultra sheer hosiery. Black pantyhose is a bit heavy handed for spring time, so I’ve been breaking out some of the super sheer styles. I’m a pretty big fan of Hanes Silk Reflections, as I think they are a very nice meeting of looks, feel, durability, and price. I had high […]
the saddest picture EVER
This may be the saddest thing I have ever seen. It was in a book about “bucket lists”, ie, things you want to do before you die: Just look at that picture. I’m tempted to congratulate that person for being brave enough to be honest about what their heart truly longs for. At the same […]
Dreamers, Dragons, and Jesus
A few days ago I was at the book store helping my daughters pick out a birthday gift for their mother. I started flipping through a book from the MTV reality show “The Buried Life”, and saw this: I so love quotes like this. They seem to soar up above the banality of every day […]
The Tao of the Asshole
“Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn.” – Gore Vidal I never knew how hard it can be to have “style”. There are moments when I sit down to write, I realize that there is some deeper truth turning my gears that day, but for some […]
telepathic pooper and pistols
I woke up this morning from a very tense dream. I don’t have “nightmares”, I just have really tense dreams. Why does this matter? For the past 5 – 10 years, I would *rarely* remember my dreams. Most nights it felt like I never had them. When I did recall a dream, it was always […]
Product Review: Pretty Polly 10 Den Gloss Tights
I recently got a shipment of the Pretty Polly 10 Denier Gloss tights in 2 colors, black and nude. Normally I would just review one color or another and assume said review would apply to all colors. Last weekend I went out in the black tights. I meant to write a review, but I have […]
Victory Lap
Do you ever wonder about those people who just seem to be larger than life? I do. I want to be one of them. I’m not gonna risk looking pretentious to you and pretentiously claim that I don’t want to be a bad ass. We all know of one of these kind of people: They […]
babies, beer, and rock
Every once in a while, life hands you an experience that is pristine and beautiful. I recently had one that I’d like to share with you. First, I need to tell you about one of the most important people in my world, Jack Keith. We met as band mates in the band Shades of Sound […]
break the spell of the typical
Do you ever find yourself thinking, “Hold on… Hoooooooold on here…. what the FUCK am I doing??” I’m very reticent to post this. I hate “boo hoo” blog posts. My friend Jory has been urging me to get more real, to be more vulnerable. I thought I was being vulnerable over the last several years […]
