Pieces
How many pieces of your heart can you give away before it stops beating?
Janet died alone in a hotel room in LA as a result of a heroin overdose. She was only 27. At the time she was still drunk on cocktails she had finished approximately an hour earlier at Barney's Beanery in West Hollywood. It is said that she purchased the heroin on Saturday afternoon in an effort to console herself when her boyfriend Seth failed to arrive for a scheduled date.
Earlier that night Janet asked the desk clerk of the Landmark Motor Hotel not to put any phone calls through to her room phone.
At the time of her death, Janet's boyfriend, Seth, was in Joplin's house in Marin County, California that night playing strip poker with a waitress he had just met.
Obviously, he had taken the last piece of her heart with him.

Where do the Lonely hearts go? They go to the bar.
Is there a point in our lives where we finally just give up? A point where we throw our towel in the ring and wave our white flags? Is there a certain age we reach when we just know its the right time to give up? How do you know when to give up on finding true love? I know it sounds desperate and sad...but at what point do you accept the fact that you are NEVER going to meet Mr.Right and you haul yourself out of the dating trap and start to avoid the meat markets (aka the local bar scene). Why would anyone give up, you may ask?....but the reasons are scattered on barstools all over Orange County like ashes from last weeks fires. They are the Cougar women.
I watch these older women sit in the local bars and throw themselves desperately into the paths of single young men. They use corsets to push sagging boob jobs sky high, their faces have been lifted so tight that their skin looks like you could use it as a drum. They all are in competition with one another, racing to buy drinks for men without the slightest bit of regret before someone younger swoops in for their prey. When they see me they no longer look at me with the same envy and hatred they would bestow upon me when I was 21, now they look at me with jealousy because I still have a few "Pretty Years" left in me. They look at me and worry for an instant that I may want the same guy they have been flirting with for the past 2 hours. But they don't want to fight me for him, because they know that they will win in the end because they have something I don't have yet- they have a total lack of self respect. They let all the men before this one slowly take their self respect one piece at a time and now they will do anything just to feel wanted for an hour, or if they are lucky, one whole night. They wake up in strange beds often, always with the glimmer of hope that he may call again. But he never does. And they repeat the entire process again another night at another bar.
So the question is, How do we keep this from happening to ourselves? When do we realize that we can LOVE all we want, but without anyone loving us back...it still doesn't make us feel better inside. When do you accept the fact that you can be the greatest person on earth, but if there is no one to appreciate that greatness, then you are just that tree that fell silently in the woods because no one was there to hear the sound of your fall?

Story of my Life....Boredom
The Pierces are so NYC. They are beautiful, talented and unusual. I love their music. They are sisters too- which makes them rad.
The Morning Pages
I fund this band thru one of my favorite bands, The Pierces. This song is so good and the song actually has the Pierce sisters singing in it. It reminds me of the music I grew up on.

All Hallow's Eve
On Halloween, it is said that their is a bridge between the living and the dead. This day is used as a way to honor, remember and communicate with loved ones who have passed. I found this "spell" and I thought it might be a nice way to honor those that we have loved and lost.
Upon Each Samhain
I miss you most upon each Samhain
When the boundary turns to sheer
I wait until the veil is parted
At the ending of the year.
Sweet spirit, as you walk among us
At the tolling of this eve
I see your face beyond the sunset
And hear your voice upon the breeze.
In the glowing of the candle,
From the shadow on the wall
I watch for you in every movement
And hear your footsteps in the hall.
Can you sit and spend the evening
As the portal opens wide?
Ancestral dead, I bid you welcome
Most recent dead, I pray, abide.
When you come I sense your presence
I put my hand out in the air
A moment, then, we stand united
Palm to palm while waiting there.
I miss you most upon each Samhain
When the boundary turns to sheer
We share these hours until the dawning
Then bid farewell until next year.
1988 David O. Norris

Another Personality Profile
You are a NEGOTIATOR/explorer
You are a big thinker. You easily take the large, long view of almost any topic. You are comfortable juggling myriad facts. You tend to synthesize material easily and to think in webs of factors, not straight lines. You are imaginative and enjoy theorizing.
You are also socially savvy. You are good at both talking and listening. And you generally read people's faces, body postures and tone of voice accurately, so you tend to intuitively understand what people want and need.
You are also highly compassionate. You care deeply about others. So you sometimes make personal sacrifices to be a supportive friend or colleague. And you like to work to improve the world.
You enjoy new ideas and novel experiences. You are flexible, affable and open to adventure. And you admire impulsive, spontaneous people, despite your tendency to plan ahead.
You dislike conflict. You seek "win-win" solutions. And with your skill as a negotiator, you adeptly bring peace to the chaotic world around you. You are a warm, insightful and often exciting companion.
Dating Tips for Negotiators
In the beginning of a relationship, try not to over think the situation or over—react to minor set backs. If there's chemistry and compassion, it will all work out.
You may be so diplomatic that your potential partner is unclear who you are. Take a chance at being more direct and decisive.
Rather than waiting for the right moment, interrupt now and then with some of your imaginative and broad—minded ideas; it can lead to sparkling, involved conversation and close companionship.
Let a potential partner know your boundaries, needs and hopes. This way he or she will be able to act accordingly to deepen the bond.
Talking is only one form of intimacy. Try doing something side by side with him or her, particularly something new and collaborative.

Wristcutters
I went to this movie premiere in Hollywood last night not knowing what to expect. I was completely surprised at how good this movie was. It took a taboo subject and made light of it in a way that was entertaining and compelling. You have to see this movie. You will not be disappointed. I love this film.
Interesting side note- all the songs on the soundtrack to this movie are by artists that took their own lives (with the exception of GoGol Bordello).

How many is too many?
This question has been coming up alot in the last few days.....How many people can you sleep with before you are considered a turbo slut?
I mean, normally a guy wouldn't ask you how many people you have slept with, but every once in awhile you come across the one guy that does care. My ex claimed he wouldn't date a girl that slept with enough guys to be in the double didgits. I have friends in their 20's that have slept with only one guy and I know girls that have slept with at least 70 guys. I know girls that are honest about how many guys that have gotten down with and I know some that have a special formula they use to get their numbers down to what they consider "acceptable" (divide by 1/2 and subtract -2).
So, what is the magic number? And should you be judged on your past?
There are some positive factors to women that have been with many sex partners- they are more experienced in bed, nothing surprises them, you probably don't have the weirdest or smallest penis they have ever seen, they genuinely enjoy sex, and they won't judge you on your man-whore ways....but everyone loves to hate the girl that has been with alot of guys. Our society has warped itself into believing that a man that sleeps around is more desireable to the opposite sex and he is socially accepted and rewarded for his promiscuity. BUT, when a woman is honest about her numerous sex partners she is considered to be less of a person and is looked at as dirty. How is this fair?
Why are women supposed to be ashamed of their past while men are expected to be proud of theirs?

Drive-Bys
Today my X got caught doing the "drive-by". I know, I know...we have all done the "drive-by" at one time or another. But usually you make your friend take her car or you do it at night. Not many people are curious enough to risk getting caught doing the broad daylight, mid-afternoon drive-by. I normally wouldn't even call a guy out for doing this, but he freaked out when I called him one time a few weeks ago because our dog was sick and he accused me of making it up for attention.....so why the f#ck is he driving by my house? Does he want attention? Or is he just curious to see if I am home in the middle of the afternoon on a sunday?
In summary- don't drive by my house. I'll be more than happy to tell you where I was and where I am going...without you.

True Romance
I told you right from the start. a knife up to your throat for one put through my heart. couldn't hold on and this i should've known. thinking back as i walk the night alone. i told you that my love was true. i asked you to walk away if you don't feel like i do. you whispered that you would be mine always. i felt myself slipping away. i love you forever, 'til death do us part. night gives no rest and i cannot sleep. when i can i see your face, it's tattooed on my dreams. purple heart pumps sorrow through my veins. i awaken, i'm calling out your name. i often think back to that night... the moment when i found out that our love was a lie. felt like i would die, i couldn't stand the pain. and there's nothing left except one thing, i've gotta see you again. i love you forever, 'til death do us part. forever is over, forever is over. it's over, it's over, it ended on that night...

Mother Goose
Canadian geese have a human-like connection with their mate and their families. If one partner is injured or killed, its mate will stay behind and guard the body.....secluding herself from the other geese. If a heavy winter is coming, sometimes the misplaced goose will lay down and die next to her lovers body. Those who have spent time observing geese report that they experience emotions just as we do.
After a partner dies, some geese spend the rest of their lives as widows, refusing to mate again—this can be a long time, because geese live up to 25 years.
Maybe we could learn something from geese.
I'm the biggest loser ever!
So, my mom has been harrassing me about eHarmony because all her friends kids are marrying guys they met on that site.
I wanted to prove to her that everyone involved with internet dating are big losers so that she will stop thinking that it is the answer to all my problems.
So, tonight I log on to the stupid eHarmony website. I answer 400 questions about myself and then I wait. I wait for it to pop up a bunch of pictures of eligible bachelors in my area...preparing myself to laugh at the lame guys they link me to romantically. I am totally ready to send my mom the pictures of these weirdos and say "See! There are no NORMAL and ATTRACTIVE guys that do online dating". But then a message pops up. Where are the random guy photos?? Wait, this message is NOT from my future soulmate, but rather from the eHarmoy people. They tell me that they are unable to find me a match in southern CA. It appears I am one of the 20% of people out there who are basically "undate-able" and obviously really fucked up. Are you kidding me? How can I not even qualify to date 1 guy in the state of CA? Have you seen the people that date online? They are usually balding, addicted to porn and have skin like the "Before" pictures on a ProActiv commercial! That guy won't even date me? I even said I'd date a guy who had kids, I figured there has to be lots of girls out there that DON'T want to deal with somebody elses kid,so I thought it might help me find a diamond in the rough. But even the low-income guy with a crazy ex-wife and ADHD kid probems isn't interested in me?!
There is a serious problem here.......I need counselling, not an online dating service!
This was their message:
eHarmony is based upon a complex matching system developed through extensive research with married couples. One of the requirements for successful matching is that participants fall within certain defined profiles. If we find that we will not be able to match a user using these profiles, we feel it is only fair to inform them early in the process.
We are so convinced of the importance of creating compatible matches to help people establish happy, lasting relationships that we sometimes choose not to provide service rather than risk an uncertain match.
Unfortunately, we are not able to make our profiles work for you. Our matching model could not accurately predict with whom you would be best matched. This occurs for about 20% of potential users, so 1 in 5 people simply will not benefit from our service. We hope that you understand, and we regret our inability to provide service for you at this time.
Then they gave me a personality profile telling me why no one will ever date me:
Though your motives arise from genuine compassion, some people might think of you as "a little too good to be true." They could suspect that your kindness is something you use to ingratiate yourself with others or to get them to like you. Others may suspect that your altruism is a mask for your own problems; you take care of others but never let others get to know you well enough to offer you their care. Some of this suspicion may be genuine; they just can't believe you're this kind. But it may also be triggered by envy; people see in you a tenderheartedness they don't find in themselves, and it makes them uncomfortable so they take it out on you with their suspicions.
Another critical response others may have may be something you want to take a serious look at. If you spend your time taking care of others, you may not have enough left to take very good care of yourself. If you're always asking, "What can I do for you?", you may not focus enough on your own needs. You're so busy taking care of others that you neglect yourself and empty your reserves of energy and good health. Like we said, give it consideration and if it doesn't fit move on.
Now that they have ripped down my self-confidence to a non-existant level they try to build me back up again with these kind words (loosely translated as "Homeless people think you are great, but Good Luck ever finding a boyfriend, LOSER!":
For the most part, people will feel gifted to come across someone like you. For those you help, you will be light in the darkness, a hand up when they've fallen into a ditch. Your true graciousness and selflessness is rather rare these days and is often a breath of fresh air in this all too often dog-eat-dog world. Others will see in you the kindness that each of us seeks in life, both in our own characters and in our relationships with others. And you will become a model of that honest compassion; someone others may even look up to. Hopefully that feels okay to you.

I saw this online today (WGSN)and figured I'd post it because Christmas is right around the corner and we are all starting to get in gift-buying/ present mode.
I just thought I'd help the ladies out by reminding all those guys out there who are tempted to buy their girlfriends Home Electronics and Housewares this year for X-mas, you really shouldn't. Grandmothers and Parents buy their kids crockpots and Ipods. Its not about the money at all either, it is the sentiment. If you can not think of one thing that is more romantic than a coffee pot for the person you supposedly love, just write them a nice card or invite them to spend some quality time with you doing charity work one day.
Oh, and never believe the girl that tells you she doesn't want anything for Chritmas. That's just weird.
The article I read today about the Hottest Gift this season:
Jewellery is expected to be one of the hottest sellers this Holiday season, according to The National Retail Federation.
In a media briefing entitled "Hot or Not: What to Expect from Stores this Holiday Season", the NRF said jewellery is set to dominate gift buying.
Diamonds are expected to sell well, with watches set to gather momentum with a broader range of luxury and fashion styles available, said Dan Butler, NRF vice-president of merchandising and retail operations.
-WGSN 9/10/07
My girft suggestion for those who really can't think of anything romantic to buy their GF.
The $150 Tiffany Heart Ring. Its reasonably priced. The heart is a symbol of love and it comes in the famous "Robins Egg Blue Box". You will forever be known as the guy that bought her Tiffany. Every girl has the Breakfast at Tiffany's fantasy rolling around in her head. So, be that guy. If you buy her an appliance she will end up using it to cook romantic dinners for the NEXT guy. Promise.

Leave the Pieces
Country music just seems to be more heart-felt to me. The lyrics are always real and they make you sad or cheer you up, or make you want to burn down your neighbors trailer. Either way country music is like therapy for matters of the heart.
(At least it works for my "Pennslyvania born and raised" heart).
I discovered this song through my friend Maegan, who has been through ALOT recently.......
(At least it works for my "Pennslyvania born and raised" heart).
I discovered this song through my friend Maegan, who has been through ALOT recently.......
Suppose I Never Ever Met You.....
I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music
And it breaks my heart
And suppose I never met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never ever let you kiss me so sweet and so soft
Suppose I never ever saw you
Suppose we never ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall
Just to break my fall
Break my fall
All my friends say that of course its gonna get better
Gonna get better
Better better better better
Better better better
I never love nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting by heart truly
I got lost
In the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind
All this music
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart
I hear in my mind all of these voices
I hear in my mind all of these words
I hear in my mind all of this music
Breaks my
Heart
Breaks my heart
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is the month dedicated to making ourselves more aware of Breast Cancer and it is also the month that breast cancer has affected the life of someone very close to me. Just yesterday one of my best friends got the terrible news that her mother was diagnosed with an agressive form of breast cancer. Please keep her and her family in your prayers this month as they fight this thing together and take the steps you need to to keep yourself cancer free.
From the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month's website:
While you can't control the age at which breast cancer strikes, you can take steps to up your odds of diagnosing it early, which in turn ups your odds of beating it. For starters, if you have a family history of the disease, begin screening 10 years earlier than the age at which your relative was diagnosed, says Shockney. If possible, go to a facility that offers digital mammography, which has higher detection rates than standard mammography in women under age 50, according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI). If you have a strong family history of the disease -- two or more first-degree family members, like your mom or sister, have been diagnosed -- ask your doctor about more specific diagnostic tests like BRCA gene testing, which looks for hereditary gene mutations that are linked with breast cancer. And know that even if you don't have breast cancer in your immediate family, you may still be at risk if you have relatives with hormone-driven cancers like prostate or ovarian cancer, which are also linked to BRCA gene mutations.
Regardless of your age or family history, have an annual clinical breast exam and do a monthly self-exam. If you do find a lump, don't panic -- about 80 percent of biopsied breast lumps are benign. But do call your ob/gyn right away to discuss further testing. And if he says you're too young to worry, tell him you're too young not to -- and find another doctor.

It's a Barbie World
I love Mark Ryden. His art is disturbing and beautiful all at the same time. If you haven't been exposed to his art you need get out to one of his shows so that you can truely appreciate his work.

Throw Caution to The Wind
Because everybody needs to watch this scene everyonce in awhile......just to make them believe in something.
Might've Saved a Little Trouble for the Next Girl
I heard this song today and had to post it. Now that T and I are friends, we can look back on that little incident that occured 4 years ago and almost laugh. Yeah, it costed me close to $5000 in attorney fees, but you can't put a price on Pride. I think we both learned some valuable lessons from that one.
I would advise not to damage personal property in a random act of revenge because it will end up causing you way more trouble, and money, in the long run.....but I am no stranger to the feeling of rage and the destruction it can cause. Sometimes you have to burn all your bridges so they can be re-built stronger and more sound.

Girlfriend Status?
Ok. So the theme today is "Guys you dated that you did nothing but be nice to then they dump you for no reason, but you are cool about it and want to stay friends with them but they hate you for no reason." This conversation continually comes up between my girlfriends and I. Lately, there is has been an increase is this phenomenon.
Why does this happen? Do guys get upset when we DON'T freak out, go crazy or stalk them after a break up?
Is it immaturity that keeps men from being friends with girls from their past? Isn't that the purpose of "dating"- getting to know someone to see if you want a future with this person someday? So, why should anyone get pissed off if it just isn't working out?
Oh, and while we are on this topic--
If I only dated you for a few weeks/ months it DOES not mean I thought you were my boyfriend and I may not even have been that into you anyway. You don't have to ignore me after you give me the "you don't want a girlfriend speech". I wasn't trying to be your girlfriend. When I list the traits I am looking for in a person that I see myself "dating" someday; spoiled, self-loathing, self-centered, ungenerous, ungreatful, and asshole aren't usually on there.
It works both ways, sometimes we aren't that excited about you either. For instance, when you pretend the green onion on your sushi plate is a joint, and then you pretend smoke it and pass it to the people at the table next to ours, I know we do not have a future together. Therefore, I am in no way trying to be your girlfriend. I'm just along for the ride until a better train rolls thru the station. BUT, even though I was completely appalled when you refused to wear shoes into a restuarant and you threw a child-like temper trantrum on the parking lot for no reason- I do still want to be your friend...because when you aren't bitching and complaining about how bad your life sucks, you are kind of fun.

Tranny Time
Halloween isn't Halloween without a midnight showing of one of my favorite movies ever......
The Rocky Horror Picture Show!
If you have never experienced a midnight showing of Rocky Horror, you are in for quite an experience. See, the thing that sets RH apart from all other horror films is that you can't just watch this movie.....you have to participate. RH fans dress in costume, they recite movie lines, bring props and sing and dance in the aisles. Don't be surprised if you get hit in the head with burnt toast at a midnight showing of RH or freak out when you realize the chick next to you is really a tranny....
Not to mention, this film has history!- Rocky Horror is the longest running theatrical release in film history. It is also the most successful midnight movie of all times. RH was first released in 1975 and it features some random celebs like Susan Sarandon and Meatloaf?! RH is a cult classic
So, bring your; toast, water, toilet paper, hot dogs, underwear, rice, confetti, buttered toast, newspaper, rain coats, and squirt guns and lets do the Time Warp at midnight!
Me First and The Gimmie Gimmies love Sweet Transvestites too:
Saturday Night Live
You know where and when.......
Made off
Don't stray
My kind's your kind
I'll stay the same
Pack up
Don't stray
Oh, say say say
Oh, say say say
Wait! they don't love you like i love you
Wait! they don't love you like i love you
Translyvanian Concubine
I was first introduced to Rasputina at a Marilyn Manson concert about 10 years ago. Rasputina consists of 3 cellists who are more like a covenant of witches than a band. Their sound is unusual and addicting. I can't even explain it....you just need to hear it for yourself. I love their album "Thanks for the Ether", its so weird that you need to listen to it a few times to appreciate it. They make me wish I had committed myself to cello lessons in school. Hmm...maybe I will have to get myself a cello now and start learning.
Anyway, here is a cover they did. Enjoy.
1-2-3-4 Tell me you love me more....
This video makes me happy. I don't know if it is the dancing, the song or her amazing blue sequined onepiece, but the song makes me want to dance around and kick at the air like Sally O'Malley!
"1234"
One Two Three Four
Tell me that you love me more
Sleepless long nights
That is what my youth was for
Old teenage hopes are alive at your door
Left you with nothing but they want some more
Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, You know who you are
Sweetheart bitterheart now I can tell you apart
Cosy and cold, put the horse before the cart
Those teenage hopes who have tears in their eyes
Too scared to own up to one little lie
Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, you know who you are
One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, or ten
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then
One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, or ten
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then
Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, you know who you are
Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, you know who you are
Oh, who you are
For the teenage boys
They're breaking your heart
For the teenage boys
They're breaking your heart
