Interestin'

Monsters! complimented by old scary commercials

What come first

money lack or cynical mind?
hmmm
it's like
oh well probably can't see the artist
$ reasons
whatever
about people who blow money on unneeded cosmetic surgery
and get criticized by fans for it?
yeah, whatever, and also I loved looking at Moon Over Corn Field. I looked at it and felt all ~mystical~ BUT the guy whose lucky enough to live there said he looked at it and "cannot stop my head building nightmarish scenarios no matter how hard I try."
Ugh. Is that because today's Shakespeare choose to put so many of those into print?
Whatever.
Off to maybe shower sad attitude away.
Cat of Doom was cute though.

If

If sometimes I feel sick because of living in the same place far away from anywhere I "grew up" and almost no money to leave it and
Okay that's enough right there.

so! not on task!

Wikipedia told me a member of Lucious Jackson was once in the Beastie Boys. Huh. Doesn't that guy in the Naked Eye video kinda look like he could be one of them? Arrgh. Sooo blurry. Hmmm...

To consider

What Cha Want?
Are those guys old now?

1) A person got letter from family advising her on how to approach the next step to take in career path/life. Its hard to move to a new place. Who will help you if there's a flood or your car breaks down? (Clears throat.) There's a reason why most people are born, live and die in a 3 mile radius...

2) Another person never got such a letter. Family members were scattered to the four (eight, sixty four, googol) corners of the wind. True, all those things (moving to a new place, etc.) were hard to adjust to sometimes. But, trying to stay pinned to one place was almost impossible, like trying to keep Pangea from seperating into seven continents and a bunch of tiny little islands. MOST people does not equal ALL people. And, A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE are NOT in the MOST PEOPLE category.

Why
is it kinda like sometimes even or especially the more photogenic people don't like their own pictures? Are there too many airbrushed magazines taunting the masses or something? Why does this little snafu maybe have to interfere with a struggling out of work freelancer's ability to get paid for something? And universe, this sort of thing could be fixed, somehow, surely?

Because

It is almost 2 o'clock in the morning.
And because, in other parts of the world, there have have been floods.
And on the weekend, there was an almost full moon and one could see it move across the sky in the silent hours of the morning, and there was a closed (to the public) Zen center somewhere down a long road into the mountains, and although the anniversary of 9-11 was not what it was for some, and there was some cynicism about the media coverage, truth be told, it was still something to many, and there was a sorta not so good kinda day, but then there was an appointment to look forward to. And then the appointment was canceled. And a text that meant "search" accidentally went out as "death" and then the resilient side kicked in because it's still a SEARCH for an autistic boy who went missing.
And there is a full moon on the calendar.
It seems like a time to be prayerful.

Watermelon

Watermelon sadness. Watermelon happiness. Perfection when chilled, even when it's not at it's best. The countess doesn't care. The scullery girl gorges herself. Watermelon hating page pokes fun. "You're disgusting!" "YOU are disgusting," she says. Wait, did he say it to her, or just to the melon? It doesn't matter. She's a champion defender (and consumer) of watermelon. How it humanizes and restores sanity. Slurp chomp drink and drip.

You go...

This song crept into the mind of a person sitting on someone else's back steps, watching the dusk take over everything. Green leaves, evening shadows, birdbath, cats on the steps, cooler temperatures, quiet among people who move about in lighted houses. It could be playing somewhere in the background on lots of nights, many seasons, decades, regions. Someone sits in a backyard, feeling the place and the world at dusk, and someone else is sweeping the streets with headlights and driving past lit-up billboards. You go back jack do it again And this is a very different version by the artist and although it was not floating around(?) it's interesting: Do it again cover

On a list...

Of things I love is when I allow a song to drift into my brain
and it just seems so perfect
while walking down a hallway
or driving
So yesterday, this one was for walking down hallways:
Peach, Plum, Pear or maybe
Peach, Plum, Pear
This one was for driving:
Virginia or maybe (but gosh, audio) Virginia
And today?
Hmmm. That didn't happen today for some reason.

Bye t-shirt

Back to school...JC Penny has dropped a t-shirt for children that said "I'm too pretty to do homework so my brother has to do it for me." I read about that right before I watched two videos on a YT channel (Boyleheightsfilms.)
The first, Homeboys until the end, is a touching tribute by the homeboys to themselves and the priest that helped them. And maybe even to God. I watched it last night.
Today I felt like listening to Marys of the Sea. And I also watched the Homeboys...video, again, and then the second one on the channel, which is called I DO IT LIKE I DO IT. I thought, hmmm...well, maybe it's satire? A commentary on how it's not cool to view women that way? I kept waiting for the indication that there was some self-reflection going on about that, but it did not come. (Except for "Fallen Angel" scrolling across the screen at the end, maybe?)
Why is it so hard to integrate the idea of respect for all? And make room for females to have actual voices and not just be viewed as possessions and side kicks?
So, since I was listening to Marys of the Sea again, I also think that as much as some people have made fun of the artist for her attentions to Mary Magadalene, Corn Mother, etcetra, (especially in The Beekeeper and Piece By Piece) that level of discomfort seems to not just be a question of taste. It's also a reflection of how hard it is, for some reason, to change the centuries old structures in church, and government, and life.
