PORN!

I read an article in this months GQ Magazine called 'I Mourn For Porn' --an older man's lament towards the current generations' over accessibility of all things rawnch. here's a quote i rather enjoyed...

"For those of us raised on novels, sex is something grand and luxurious that happens in ski chalets at dusk, or in hay-scented stables in the heat of a French afternoon, and I'm trustably informed that a lady can detect that je ne sais quoi--that classiness--in our actual technique."

another excerpt "...we've got a generation coming of age with no concept of female subdermal tingling, or cervical dilation, or the thousand other ways a lady's body can respond to a gentleman's touch if he does it just right."

uhuh

Goodbye Alexander McQueen

THE TRUTH HURTS

pain provides the contrast needed for one to be able to always hold beauty, love and happiness as precious and sacred. perhaps i just have a sadistic way of motivating myself but i have always needed the darkness to stay in the light. when things are status quo i get a bit uneasy.... down with rose colored glasses. ignorance is not bliss, it's ignorance. here are some great Janet Finch quotes i recently reacquainted myself with :

"To them, pain was a country they had heard of, maybe watched a show about on TV, but one whose stamp had not yet been made in their passports. Where could I find a place where my world connected to theirs?"

"Remember it all, every insult, every tear. Tattoo it on the inside of your mind. In life, knowledge of poisons is essential. I've told you, nobody becomes an artist unless they have to."

"Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. An intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you'll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way."

oh.....hi there

so this is my blog. when blogging first started i used to make fun of it...losers who had nothing better to do blogged. i detested the word blog (still do) wondering why people created such an unattractive, unsexy word for it???? the word alone put me off. but these days, a blog follower receives unique insight into the thoughts, expressions, priorities and desires of the blogger. what was once a persons' journal or weekly newspaper article has transformed into an online blog that all the world may view and share. scary shit. this blog is never going to focus on one thing. i don't like the idea of placing limitations on what i talk about or how often i write. i don't apologize for being absolutely honesty or for typos or my penchant for made up words. this is a selfish exercise. but i do it in the hopes that the one who chooses to read it can derive some form of nourishment from it. ok that's enough. time to BLOG! (gross)
