Two Sleepy People

This is one of my favorite recordings of this song. For Rani.
"Two Sleepy People"
Here we are
Out of cigarettes
Holding hands and yawning
Look how late it gets

Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
And too much in love to say goodnight

Here we are
In the cozy chair
Pickin' on a wishbone
From the frigid air

Two sleepy people with nothing to say
And too much in love to break away

Do you remember
The nights we used to linger in the hall?
Your father didn't like me at all

Do you remember
The reason why we married in the fall?
To rent this little nest and get a bit of rest

Well, here we are
Just about the same
Foggy little fella
Drowsy little dame

Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
And too much in love to say goodnight

Well, here we are
Just about the same
Foggy little fella
Drowsy little dame

Two sleepy people by dawn's early light
And too much in love to say goodnight

Holiday wishes for today, to no one in particular:

1. Happy first night of Hannukah!
2. Happy Thanksgiving Eve!
3. Happy birthday, Jimi Hendrix!

Some Really Cute Dogs I Saw

Translation: Insomnia

Che notte! Non posso dormire, e Marty e Carrie non rispondiamo ai telefoni. Niente a fare, ma usare il computer. Sarò mezza-pazza quando il solgere del sole. Ciao!

Hanukkah Candles

Does anyone know where to buy tall, narrow Hanukkah candles in Hamilton, Ohio, preferably on the West Side? I am surrounded by goyim, and no one seems to have a clue. My first stop in my search is CVS, and if I don't find anything there, I'm on to Kroger and/or Hallmark. I suppose I could go to Hobby Lobby and make my own custom candles, but oh, yeah, they say they don't cater to us Jews. Walmart would be another option, but that's a damn long walk for someone in my state of health. Next year, I'm starting Hanukkah preparations in July!

The Crabby Bunch

These are the crabbies- from the top:Alanna, Edouard, Dot, Hannibal, and Camille.

The Magdalene Laundries

I've always related to these women, the ones "branded as a Jezebel."
The Magdalene Laundries

I was an unmarried girl
I'd just turned twenty-seven
When they sent me to the sisters
For the way men looked at me
Branded as a jezebel
I knew I was not bound for Heaven
I'd be cast in shame
Into the Magdalene laundries

Most girls come here pregnant
Some by their own fathers
Bridget got that belly
By her parish priest
We're trying to get things white as snow
All of us woe-begotten-daughters
In the steaming stains
Of the Magdalene laundries

Prostitutes and destitutes
And temptresses like me--
Fallen women--
Sentenced into dreamless drudgery ...
Why do they call this heartless place
Our Lady of Charity?
Oh charity!

These bloodless brides of Jesus
If they had just once glimpsed their groom
Then they'd know, and they'd drop those stones
Concealed behind their rosaries
They wilt the grass they walk upon
They leech the light out of a room
They'd like to drive us down the drain
At the Magdalene laundries

Peg O'Connell died today
She was a cheeky girl
A flirt
They just stuffed her in a hole!
Surely to God you'd think at least some bells should ring!
One day I'm going to die here too
And they'll plant me in the dirt
Like some lame bulb
That never blooms come any spring
Not any spring
No, not any spring
Not any spring

Maggie May

An amazing take on an old Rod Stewart song.....

"Maggie May"

Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurt

The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without

All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover and
mother what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed
and in the morning kick me in the head
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore
You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my mama's cue and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand
Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart but I love you anyway

Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home one of these days

Hate to admit it
But you were right all along
Turns out I was just a mirage
Cause he tried to touch me
But his hand went right through
Strange enough all I thought of was you

Flood beats irrelevant
But on the other side
There was nothing
it was all just behind
So when he asked a question
Why'd she bother to lie
I just wanted something good enough to hide
So I replied

And I can't help but feel changed
Back to me ruined
From everything that's happened

And I was trying to be sane
But I don't want to be someone
Who can't believe in magic

So I pretended I'm amazed and that I can't believe my eyes
He made the world disappear but I do that trick
All the fucking time

The time made me look smarter
I asked in the parking lot
He said my hands got longer
But I still hadn't talked

And I thought I knew by now
Questions only lead to answers
You never could've laughed
Any script to banter

I don't want to feel played
You know me alright
All my endings tragic

And I was trying to be sane
I don't want to be someone
Who can't believe in magic

Hate to admit it
You were right all along
Turns out I was just a mirage

Valerie

Just a song I had on my mind today...
"Valerie"

Well sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
And in my head I paint a picture

Since I've come on home,
Well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over, Valerie?

Valerie [x3]

Did you have to go to jail,
Put your house on up for sale, did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didn't catch a tan,
I hope you find the right man who'll fix it for ya
Are you shopping anywhere,
Changed the color of your hair, are you busy?
And did you have to pay that fine
That you were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy?

Since I've come on home,
Well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over, Valerie?

Valerie [x3]

Well sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
And in my head I paint a picture

Since I've come on home,
Well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over, Valerie?

Valerie [x7]

Why don't you come over, Valerie?

Rebel Rebel

I remember that this was how I felt at 15......

"Rebel Rebel"

You've got your mother in a whirl
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl

Hey babe, your hair's alright
Hey babe, let's go out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing and we look divine
You love bands when they're playing hard
You want more and you want it fast
They put you down, they say I'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on

[CHORUS]
Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel Rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I love you so!

Don't ya?

[CHORUS]

You've torn your dress, your face is a mess
You can't get enough, but enough ain't the test
You've got your transmission and your live wire
You got your cue line and a handful of ludes
You wanna be there when they count up the dudes
And I love your dress
You're a juvenile success
Because your face is a mess
So how could they know?
I said, how could they know?

So what you wanna know Calamity's child,
Where'd you wanna go?
What can I do for you? Looks like you've been there too
'Cause you've torn your dress
And your face is a mess
Ooo, your face is a mess
Ooo, ooo, so how could they know?
Eh, eh, how could they know?

Life

The lifelong insomnia continues......my doctor and therapist both dropped the ball on getting my prescription for my sleeping meds to me, so here I am, up randomly in the middle of the night. I'm bored out of my mind, and no one I really want to talk to is even awake. Sadly, I record here the passing of Abigail Crab, one of the new members of our crustacean family....she was found last night, sans shell. However, Dot, Ed, and Camille have all molted, and are doing well, and Hannibal and Arwen III seem to be adjusting comfortably. So here's to healthy crabs!

Weird Sunday

I think I have a sinus infection, and I'm so fucking nauseous.....I don't know what to do. On top of hot flashes and cramps, I feel like hell. My mother, however, has come up with a nighttime project: a Valkyrie themed calendar. Getting to it......

Office Space

This is Claus von Stauffenberg's office at the Bendlerblock as it appears today.

In Honor of Matthew Shepard

We've come a long way.......but not far enough.

Showers of your crimson blood
Seep into a nation, calling up a flood
Of narrow minds, who legislate
Thinly veiled intolerance
Bigotry and hate

But they tortured and burned you
They beat you and they tied you
They left you cold and breathing
For love they crucified you

I can't forget, hard as I try
This silhouette against the sky
Scarecrow crying
Waiting to die, wondering why?
Scarecrow trying
Angels will hold, carry your soul away

This was our brother, this was our son
This shepherd young and mild, this unassuming one
We all gasp this, can't happen here
We're all much too civilized
Where can these monsters hide?

But they are knocking on our front door
They're rocking in our cradles
They're preaching in our churches
And eating at our tables

I can't forget hard as I try
This silhouette against the sky
Scarecrow crying
Waiting to die, wondering why?
Scarecrow trying
Angels will hold carry your soul away

I search my soul
My heart and in my mind
To try and find forgiveness
This is someone child
With pain unreconciled
Filled up with father's hate, mother's neglect
I can forgive but I will not forget

Scarecrow crying
Waitin' to die, wondering why?
Scarecrow trying

Rising above all in the name of love
Love, love, love
Rising above all in the name of love
Love, love, love
Rising above all in the name of love
Love, love, love
...

Really Romantic Song

"Say Goodbye"

So here we are tonight
You and me together
The storm outside, the fire is bright
And in your eyes I see
What's on my mind
You've got me wild
Turned around inside
And then desire, see, is creeping
Up heavy inside here
And know you feel the same way
I do now
Now let's make this an evening
Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight
Stay here with me, love, tonight
Just for an evening
When we make
Our passion pictures
You and me twist up
Secret creatures
And we'll stay here
Tomorrow go back to being friends

Go back to being friends
But tonight let's be lovers,
We kiss and sweat
We'll turn this better thing
To the best
Of all we can offer, Just a rogue kiss
Tangled tongues and lips,
See me this way
I'm turning and turning for you
Girl just tonight

Float away here with me
An evening just wait and see
But tomorrow go back to your man
I'm back to my world
And we're back to being friends
Wait and see me,
Tonight let's do this thing
All we are is wasting hours until the sun comes up it's all ours
On our way here
Tomorrow go back to being friends

Go back to being friends
Tonight let's be lovers, say you will
And hear me call, soft-spoken whispering love
A thing or two I have to say here
Tonight let's go all the way then
Love I'll see you,
Just for this evening
Let's strip down, trip out at this
One evening starts with a kiss
Run away

And tomorrow
back to being friends
Lovers...love...lovers
Just for tonight, one night...love you
And tomorrow say goodbye

Boehner's Greatest Hits

Saw this on Facebook, and thought it was hilarious. Unfortunately, I happen to live in his congressional district. Gotta love gerrymandering, sneaky asshole politicians! Not to mention my idiot neighbors who vote them in. Boehner is about as useless as they come, and a great reminder of all that is wrong with Congress.

We don't care who sees
So what we go out
That's how its supposed to be
Living young and wild and free

[Wiz Khalifa - Verse 1]
Uh, Uh huh
So what I keep 'em rolled up
Saggin' my pants not caring what I show
Keep it real with my niggas
Keep it player for these hoes
It look clean don't it
Washed it the other day, watch how you lean on it
Give me some 501 jeans on and roll joints bigger than King Kong's fingers
And smoke them hoes down 'till they stingers
You a class clown and if I skip for the day I'm with you chick (b*tch) smokin' grade A

[Snoop Dogg - Verse 2]
Yeah, uh you know what?
It's like I'm 17 again
Peach fuzz on my face
Lookin', on the case
Tryna find a hella taste
Oh My God, I'm on the chase
Chevy, its gettin' kinda heavy, irrelevant, sellin' it
Dippin' away, time keep slippin' away
Zip in the safe, flippin' for pay
Tippin' like I'm drippin' in paint
Up front four blunts, like Khalifa put the weed in a J"

So turn my sound up
And mount up
And do my thang

Election Update

Update on the contest between Jim Morrison and Hannibal Lecter for Supreme Daddy: civil war was narrowly averted by the election of Arwen Kali Crab as a write-in candidate. Thank you all for nothing, because no one voted via this blog.......

What?!

Yes, I do support legalized prostitution, among consenting adults, of course. It's kind of silly how we pretend "old-fashioned dating" is anything other than a woman selling herself.  It's the world's oldest profession, as they say, and it's not likely to go away. So legalize it, and then add a few regulations to make it safer and more fair. Simple!

If you've seen the movie Valkyrie you may get this.....

Dammit, Claus!!!!!!!

A Thousand Miles

This one is for Carrie......trite as it may seem.

"A Thousand Miles"

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me

'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memory

'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

And I, I
Don't want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't want to let this go
I, I
Don't....

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you...

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
If I could
Just hold you
Tonight

Election Day

Who would you vote for as your Supreme Daddy in an election: Jim Morrison or Hannibal Lector? We will be taking results all day, in case anyone decides to vote, lol.

Ugh

My new year isn't off to that great of a start. I'm cramping constantly, and I went to a doctor today who believes I am at such a high risk of death during abdominal surgery, it may not be a good idea. I just want to stop waking up at 1 am, in pain. Plus, southwestern Ohio is going through a cold spell, and I have no heat. I'm tired and frozen and discouraged.

Happy New Year

L'shanah tovah, and welcome to 5774! It's the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah. It's fun to wish all the puzzled Hamiltonians well in the new year, lol. I ate apples dipped in honey for the first time last night. They were delicious. Hopefully, this year will be just as sweet.

Blonde Ambition

This is Madonna performing "Express Yourself" during the Blonde Ambition tour in 1990. This reminds me of being nine years old and worshiping her, even through the disapproval of my mum. Madonna's music reached me in a way no one else did, back then. Also, it reminds me of when I finally got to see her documentary "Truth or Dare," a film that strikes me as a beautiful portrait of my heroine from childhood.

Cannibal Hunting Song, lol

Walking After Midnight
by Patsy Cline
I go out walking after midnight
Out in the moonlight just like we used to do
I'm always walking after midnight searching for you
I walk for miles along the highway
Well that's just my way of saying I love you
I'm always walking after midnight searching for you
I stopped to see a weeping willow
Crying on his pillow maybe he's crying for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me I'm lonesome as I can be
I go out walking after midnight out in the starlight
Just hoping you maybe somewhere walking after midnight searching for me
I stopped to see a weeping willow
Crying on his pillow maybe he's crying for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me I'm lonesome as I can be
I go walking after midnight out in the starlight
Just hoping you maybe somewhere walking after midnight searching for me

Just checking to see if anyone looks at my blog.......

Playing with the camera phone again....

A Nod to the Season

Janis Joplin singing "Summertime"

"Summertime"

Summertime, time, time,
Child, the living's easy.
Fish are jumping out
And the cotton, Lord,
Cotton's high, Lord, so high.

Your daddy's rich
And your ma is so good-looking, baby.
She's looking good now,
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,
No, no, no, no, don't you cry.
Don't you cry!

One of these mornings
You're gonna rise, rise up singing,
You're gonna spread your wings,
Child, and take, take to the sky,
Lord, the sky.

But until that morning
Honey, n-n-nothing's going to harm you now,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Don't you cry,
Cry.

Castles Are Burning In My Heart....

Me, 24 December 1995

"Girl"
 From in the shadow
She calls
And in the shadow
She finds a way
And in the shadow
She crawls
Clutching her faded photograph
My image under her thumb
Yes with a message for my heart
She's been everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own

And in the doorway
They stay and laugh
As violins fill with water
Screams from the bluebells
Can't make them go away
We'll I'm not seventeen
But I've cuts on my knees
Falling down
As the winter takes one more cherry tree
Rushin' rivers thread so thin limitation
Dreams with the flying pigs turbid blue
And the drugstores too safe
In their coats
Anda in their do's
Yeah smother in our hearts
A pillow to my dots
One day maybe
One day
One day she'll be her own

And in the mist
There she rides
And castles are burning in my heart
And as I twist I hold tight
And I ride to work every morning
Wondering why
"Sit in the chair and be good now" And become all that they told you
The white coats enter her room
And I'm callin' my baby
Callin' my baby
Callin' my baby
Callin' everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own

Absinthe Makes the Heart Grow Fonder.....

This is the label from my first bottle of Absinthe, purchased for New Year's Eve, 2010. I didn't hallucinate, but I got drunk as hell. Btw, the shit tastes terrible!

Material Girl

requested by Sophie.....

Material Girl

Madonna

Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me
I think they're O.K.
If they don't give me proper credit
I just walk away

They can beg and they can plead
But they can't see the light, that's right
'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash
Is always Mister Right, 'cause we are

[Chorus:]

Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

Some boys romance, some boys slow dance
That's all right with me
If they can't raise my interest then I
Have to let them be

Some boys try and some boys lie but
I don't let them play
Only boys who save their pennies
Make my rainy day, 'cause they are

[chorus]

Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
[repeat]

Boys may come and boys may go
And that's all right you see
Experience has made me rich
And now they're after me, 'cause everybody's

[chorus]

A material, a material, a material, a material world

Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
[repeat and fade]

I Learned the Truth At 17.....

This is me at 17.

"AT SEVENTEEN"

By Janis Ian
I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired
The valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth...
And those of us with ravaged faces
Lacking in the social graces
Desperately remained at home
Inventing lovers on the phone
Who called to say "come dance with me"
And murmured vague obscenities
It isn't all it seems at seventeen...
A brown eyed girl in hand me downs
Whose name I never could pronounce
Said: "Pity please the ones who serve
They only get what they deserve"
The rich relationed hometown queen
Marries into what she needs
With a guarantee of company
And haven for the elderly...
So remember those who win the game
Lose the love they sought to gain
In debitures of quality and dubious integrity
Their small-town eyes will gape at you
In dull surprise when payment due
Exceeds accounts received at seventeen...
To those of us who knew the pain
Of valentines that never came
And those whose names were never called
When choosing sides for basketball
It was long ago and far away
the world was younger than today
when dreams were all they gave for free
to ugly duckling girls like me...
We all play the game, and when we dare
We cheat ourselves at solitaire
Inventing lovers on the phone
Repenting other lives unknown
That call and say: "Come on, dance with me"
And murmur vague obscenities
At ugly girls like me, at seventeen...

In Memory of Dwayne Jones

This is Dwayne Jones, from Jamaica. He went to a party dressed as a girl, and was brutally murdered by a mob.  No one has even come forward to say who his killer(s) are. This blog entry is dedicated to Dwayne's memory. Enough is enough.

Listening? Lol

I thought this was hilarious. Carrie or I would soooo do this, lol.

Brown Eyed Girl

A simple nostalgia song for a summer's day....
"Brown Eyed Girl"

Hey, where did we go
Days when the rains came ?
Down in the hollow
Playing a new game,
Laughing and a-running, hey, hey,
Skipping and a-jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping
And you, my brown-eyed girl,
You, my brown-eyed girl.

Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down to the old mine with a
Transistor radio.
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hide behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and a-sliding
All along the waterfall
With you, my brown-eyed girl,
You, my brown-eyed girl.

Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
La dee dah.
 So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My, how you have grown!
Cast my memory back there, Lord,
Sometime I'm overcome thinking about
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium
With you, my brown-eyed girl,
You, my brown-eyed girl.

Do you remember when we used to sing

Hey, where did we go
Days when the rains came?
Down in the hollow
Playin' a new game

Laughin' and a-runnin', hey hey
Skippin' and a-jumpin'
In the misty mornin' fog
With our, our hearts a-thumpin'

And you, my brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl

And whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio

Standin' in the sunlight laughin'
Hidin' behind a rainbow's wall
Slippin' and a-slidin'
All along the waterfall

With you, my brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl

Do you remember when
We used to sing?
Sha la la, la la, la la, la la, l-la te da
Just like that
Sha la la, la la, la la, la la, l-la te da
La te da

So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown

Cast my memory back there Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinkin' 'bout it
Makin' love in the green grass
Behind the stadium
With you, my brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl

Do you remember when
We used to sing?
Sha la la, la la, la la, la la, l-la te da
(Lyin' in the green grass!)
Sha la la, la la, la la, la la, l-la te da
(Bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit)
Sha la la, la la, la la, la la, l-la te da
(Sha la la la la, la la la la, la te da, la te da, la te da, da da da)
Sha la la, la la, la la, la la, l-la te da

Corset

Me in a corset, trying to look coquettish.

Taking the Long Way Around

"The Long Way Around"

My friends from high school
Married their high school boyfriends
Moved into houses in the same ZIP codes
Where their parents live

But I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow

I hit the highway in a pink RV with stars on the ceiling
Lived like a gypsy
Six strong hands on the steering wheel

I've been a long time gone now
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
But I've always found my way somehow

By taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around

I met the queen of whatever
Drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies
Moved with the shakers
Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to

No I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow

It's been two long years now
Since the top of the world came crashing down
And I'm getting' it back on the road now

But I'm taking the long way
Taking the long way around
I'm taking the long way
Taking the long way around
The long
The long way around

Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
Guess I could have made it easier on myself

But I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow

Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
If you ever want to find me I can still be found

Taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around

This is my story. I was always the girl who had to learn her own lessons the hard way, never taking anyone's word for it. I've never been good at pretending to be other than what I am, and yes, life is easier on the people who are fake. But it's a hell of a lot less fun...

Avellino

To the victims of the bus tragedy in Avellino.......ti penso, sempre.

Insonnia

Buona mattina, il mondo! Sono molto annoiato stamattina. Tutto va bene, almeno. Solo penso dei passato- mia famiglia, e mia infanzia. Ero una bambina pazza, e la vita non era facile. Mi manca mio nonno. Ricordo sue sigarette, e il odore di suo whisky scozzese. Si, era un'uomo delle cattive abitudine, ma lavarò dure. Era un farmacista. Ogni venerdì sera, mio nonno, mio prozio, mio cugino, e io andammo mangere al ristorante, un piccolo posto, Empress Chili. I uomi parlarono, mio cugino e io creammo guai, in generale. Andarono anche a prendere le sigarette per i adulti.
Mio mente divaga, mi trovo pensare di Claus von Stauffenberg. Che eroe romantico! Quasi uccidé Hitler, e era il più bello uomo che io ho visto mai. Posso verificare con un foto:


 

E, mio nonno:

Bipolar Disorder

Definition of BIPOLAR DISORDER

:any of several mood disorders characterized usually by alternating episodes of depression and mania or by episodes of depression alternating with mild nonpsychotic excitement.

That is Webster's definition. Carrie and I define it as: hell on earth, a monster with a life of it's own, and the bane of our existence. Bipolar disorder takes everything you have or might have had, and destroys it. It cripples you in every sense, and then throws you to your doom. I cannot imagine life, because I have never honestly experienced it. 

Tombstone

Went to Greenwood Cemetery on 5 July, and saw this stone, with it's beautiful inscription.....

Born This Way

This song contains my quote of the day: "Whether life's disabilities left you outcast, bullied or teased, rejoice and love yourself today 'cause  baby, you were born this way!"

This is freakin' hysterical!

My mum used to sing this to me when I was a bambina.....this version is hilarious!

For my co-guardian angel......

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes
They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Oh, I of course replied
Something here inside cannot be denied

They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
Oh, when your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love

Now laughing friends deride
Tears I can not hide
Oh, so I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes

The fridge

A Dedication

Outside the barracks by the corner light
Darling I remember how I'd wait for you at night
There we'd create a world for two, I'd wait for you
The whole night through, was there that you'd whisper tenderly
That you loved me, you'd always be
Be my Lili Marlene, be my Lili Marlene

I'd give you a rose to show I care,
And wind it through your golden hair
Then we would say goodnight and part,
I'll always keep you in my heart
With me Lili Marlene, with me Lili Marlene

My Lili of the lamplight, my own Lili Marlene


This is the Carly Simon version, from her album Film Noir. It's my favorite English translation. It's for my grandparents and their generation, who fought World War II and defeated the scourge of Nazism. May we never forget their world, with it's hardships, tragedies, and heroism.

For my guardian angel.......

"Shadow Of The Day"

I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away

Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
Sometimes good bye's the only way

[Chorus]
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you
[End Chorus]

In cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay

Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
Sometimes good bye's the only way

[Chorus]
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you
[End Chorus]

Photo Shoot

This is me, doing a photo shoot at Carrie's on Thursday. I'm obviously not uncomfortable with nudity. I'm not the hottest girl, but I do find it fun to push the envelope.....

Petey and Dot

Petey (the dog) and Dot (the crab)- two great pets together at last. Taking bets- would Petey eat Dot, or would Dot pinch the crap out of Petey?

Got Votto?

Joey Votto is quite possibly the world's perfect man. He's beautiful, to start with. Note the above photo. Also, the man can play baseball.  Bottom of the eighth in today's game versus Cleveland, he hit a gorgeous home run into the seats. Joey Votto- hero of the day!

To A Certain Snot-Nosed Bitch Cousin of Mine:

Family is NOT a group one is born into. Rather, I believe we create our own families by surrounding ourselves with those with whom we choose to spend time. Often, this includes at least some of the grouping we were born into. I, for one, am grateful for the time I don't have to spend with a select few of my relations. I know I am poor, and I might not be able to afford, say, a great christening gift for the child of those genetic relations that neglected to invite me to her baptism. And I know I am mentally ill, and not always the most fashionable company. But I also know that these things don't matter to REAL family. My nonna, sadly, started the family tradition of excluding me, and any other family members she deemed unworthy, be they children or adults. So I expect nothing less from my bitchy cousins. This blog entry is just my formal way of saying "vafanculo" to my father's snotty relations. I hereby cut all ties with that side of the family. Good riddance!
