I've been cheating on Blogger with tumblr. Probably because it was just easy to reblog someone else...to use a picture to display how i was feeling than to make MYSELF WRITE ABOUT IT... but its not working...i need to vent.. i used to think this blog was like everything else .. a kinda popularity contest...especially since i know who my readers were..well some...
we have the tendency…to turn an idea or situation around and around in our heads… looking at it from very possible angle… replaying every possible outcome…. and deduce from all this information…all the possible HIDDEN truths that that ONE situation could possibly convey… and BROOD on it for ever.. I’ve been in the midst of this “Brooding” for days…and cannot wait for me...

So while I'm trying to run to Love...I...
I've been learning some strange lessons this week..no this month... and I hope I've finally accepted this Basic truth... that men .. good or bad... loved,or not loved any more new, old... soul mates and Incompatibles... They're still men... and at their core will always be "MEN" I need to stop idolizing them.. and romanticizing my connections and reassess what my expectations of...

So ..outside of her outrageous outfits and her surprisingly amazing insightful interview, Lady Gaga has kinda stayed off My personal radar. Partly because she reminds me of Marilyn Manson...as a woman...which somehow is scarier.. Anyways..Pandora threw her into my playlist this morning...Specifically...Paper Gangsta.... My head was down and I was working and listening....but paying attention to the lyrics.. This SONG IS HARD!!!!! oh my god...its not scary...
I heard my voice today.. i heard my own tongue speak words that seemed alien to my ears...I listened to the cadence...to the measure of it....and felt like I had betrayed...Myself... like I've been infected with a germ of my own choosing...like i had hidden my BELONGING....the last outward vestige of my identity...believing it to be temporary....fooling myself that it would be only...
