On the merits of celebrity

The world would like to think that America is going to hell over celebrity lust – but hey, hold the phone, we didn’t invent this torturous pastime, we just made it bigger. The Brits have been stalking celebrity since the days of Anglo – Saxon and Spain, give me a break, those Spaniards love them a celebrity every chance they get to gawk. In the days of viral messaging, Paris Hilton, America’s very own celebrity…

Why men don’t like me

I was traveling with girlfriends when I found this red tutu – I was getting ready to have my house warming at the LaLa after two plus years of fucking hell and I saw that tutu and thought, that’s what I’m going to wear. I was so excited about it but my friend (JKTR) was apoplectic – You’ll Never Find a Man if You Wear That Skirt! – she declared to me in no unspoken…

I’ll fly away

We got colorful to head down to Woldenberg Park and film the music video with Chuck today. When we got there several groups were already leaving because it was like herding cats trying to get out the door. It was well worth it though – one part was a drummer’s circle that was a bunch of little boys playing the drums and they were all so talented I could have just eaten them up. One…

The meaning of life

I told T the other day that the meaning of life is to live it, not to be comfortable. I had read about how relationships are about learning and growing, and that your partner does not come into your life to make you comfortable or content – they come into your life to challenge you and help you grow. Throughout the night, I was staring into the eyes of a little girl whose two years…

Happy face mug

Last night, in yet another attempt to hide from the cruel world, I snuggled up on the couch with Bam Bam on my chest, Loca at my feet, and Arlene pacing the living room in a three part choreography that went from me, to the front door, to the plant. We watched Wonder Boys and I drank my detox tea from my yellow happy face mug. For some reason, that seemed to work.

Speaking to the master within

The other day at yoga we appealed to our master – the one inside of us – and as we called on our mind to let go of preconceived notions and allow our body to do things we do not believe are possible, we learned that the relationship between the master and student is one of love – love and let go – and great things are possible.
