oh-muh-godiez, hullo blergh! I'z been livin' back up in the northern region for almost two and a half months, and while it's good to be back, it certainly has not been easy. ghetto superstar modern day suffragette really isn't as cool as it sounds, but I've always had some sorta knack for making due with menial amounts of moolah (it buildeth character) no matter where I crop up (every few years or so.) while the general public of downtown new haven is a little, shall we say, 'too much to handle' sometimes, the friends (new and old) that I've surrounded myself/confided in up here might very well be the best support system cultivated in quite some time, as most who know me have watched me battle all the demons/hazy cloudiness that has been my life since '08-'09. fortunately enough after a recent pain-ful/filled event, Karyn has (finally, took ya long enough) gained an actual, legit perspective on winning back her happiness and confidence, and here's a GIANT element that has been finally laid to rest: ditching the whole 'looking for love' thing. Wasting time on finding happiness and contentment through a guy/relationship is the last thing necessary right now; having one close guy and girl friend, a puggle, and my cat -- is currently what keeps me anchored. ......it's cold as shit & am currently in the midst of the first snowstorm experience since winter three years ago, but slowly and surely (by the way, Shirley, they're remaking Naked Gun. Sending you my sincerest apologies, Mr. Nielsen...) crawling my way back to the saner individual I know I've been before, and can be again.

the truth is just a lie
so funny that I only JUST found out they're from Dayton, Ohio too. All these awesome bands were around me releasing records whilst I ran around with my childhood friends.... it would be great to re-visit Dayton, someday eventually. If anyone in this country can ever afford a vacation again... (cough sputterSHITGOVERNMENTgagcoughspew)

Fleeing Florida, the new hit tv show!
Soon, this blog will be legit used again... because I will have to chronicle my cat Maverick and I's epic journey ... moving to New Haven, CT! Living with a lady friend on the second floor of a house. Will need to find a job immediately, but so, unbelievably excited. Going to miss my roommate, but I think this clears the way for him and I to be good friends that will definitely be keeping in touch, instead of staying here and feeling like we're going to strangle each other; also marking the first time I have been able to keep a guy as a friend after a 'relationship,' even though that's truly how I've wanted all of them to transpire, being the ultra progressive person that I am, but yanno, the past is the past, and I am JAZZED about my future. ONWARD!

ladies, he will DO your windows.
"I want a woman who can sit me down, shut me up, tell me ten things I don’t already know, and make me laugh. I don’t care what you look like, just turn me on. And if you can do that, I will follow you on bloody stumps through the snow. I will nibble your mukluks with my own teeth. I will do your windows. I will care about your feelings. Just have something in there." - Henry Rollins

oh stupendous RAPTURE
just would like to give a round of applause to a handful of people who, upon acting as if they either: knew SO much MORE than me, bitched me out for things they've now done tenfold (or hah, at the time were doing just as much as myself but had to have some bullshit superiority complex over me), or have long since shut me out of their lives, have found themselves in similar or shittier positions than what I've been in! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! you're THE FUCKING SAME, but you decided that your shit never stank, and mine did! LOLOLOL! Sucks that this makes me feel better. ..... eh, it sorta does.

Pedestrian hijinks
While a car was stopped, allowing me to cross a street, my phone flew out of my bag without me noticing until I was on the other side. It had disassembled itself on the pavement: the battery and main body were safe, but the back cover was just inches away from falling into a sewer drain. The person patiently waited during this whole episode that was teetering on a possible panic attack. Guess crazy ass luck is on my side, sometimes.

is it really such a beautiful life?
"All of these stories collectively pointed to
the same thing: These banks, which already possess enormous power just
by virtue of their financial holdings – in the United States, the top
six banks, many of them the same names you see on the
Libor and ISDAfix panels, own assets equivalent to 60 percent of the
nation's GDP – are beginning to realize the awesome possibilities for
increased profit and political might that would come with colluding
instead of competing. Moreover, it's increasingly clear that both the
criminal justice system and the civil courts may be impotent to stop
them, even when they do get caught working together to game the system.
If true, that would leave us living in an era of undisguised,
real-world conspiracy, in which the prices of currencies, commodities
like gold and silver, even interest rates and the value of money itself,
can be and may already have been dictated from above. And those who are
doing it can get away with it. Forget the Illuminati – this is the real
thing, and it's no secret. You can stare right at it, anytime you
want."
An excerpt from Matt Taibbi's latest article in Rolling Stone. READ IT HERE.
"Bad
men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that
tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted
public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or
the blessings of liberty, can be preserved
to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation,
temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to
fundamental principles." - Patrick Henry
"I
believe that there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom
of the people by gradual and silent encroachment of those in power than
by violent and sudden usurpations. When the policies and practices of
the nation favor rights in exclusion of responsibility, and sanction
vice at the expense of virtue, calamity is imminent." - James Madison

Late night note/thoughts
How enriched we collectively were (brain power wise) five years ago & how drastically it has declined since then... The human experience is getting lost in translation. If anyone can tell me differently, I graciously open the floor to them, for this is merely an opinion. (past bedtime.)

therapeutic noises
took these listening to a new album some wonderful friends made. it made me cry tears of happiness, be overly elated, all the good feelings. they're so talented, and fantastic, and I'll always be so appreciative of them for taking care of this spazz attack.
also, haven't drank in five days; trying to detox for a month, will probably do some light moderated drinking during vacation, but want to quit for [good/a long time.] already feel more brain power than usual, even though trying to re-circuit everything back to normal has lots of kinks. all kinds of kinks.
less worries and pain. more happiness. no fear.

I help care for, have fun, and love everyone I can be close to. In a sense, it's like I'm 'dating' all my friends. [mentally, not horizontally/physically, so all you asshats can leave.] None of us are meant to be confined to one person. We're supposed to love as much as we can, so do it however you deem it fit.

2030
"June 12, 2030 started out like any other day in memory—and by then,
memories were long. Since cancer had been cured fifteen years before,
America's population was aging rapidly. That sounds like good news, but
consider this: millions of baby boomers, with a big natural predator
picked off, were sucking dry benefits and resources that were never
meant to hold them into their eighties and beyond. Young people around
the country simmered with resentment toward "the olds" and anger at the
treadmill they could never get off of just to maintain their parents'
entitlement programs.
But on that June 12th, everything changed: a
massive earthquake devastated Los Angeles, and the government, always
teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, was unable to respond.
The
fallout from the earthquake sets in motion a sweeping novel of ideas
that pits national hope for the future against assurances from the past
and is peopled by a memorable cast of refugees and billionaires,
presidents and revolutionaries, all struggling to find their way. In 2030,
Albert Brooks' all-too-believable, dystopian imagining of where today's
challenges could lead us tomorrow makes gripping and thought-provoking
reading." (from amazon.com)

hermit update
wishing I could just take whatever supplies necessary [and things for gardening] and have the opportunity to go inhabit a cabin in an unadulterated forest somewhere with internet, for a while... to just be given the chance to create; to awaken everyday with natural blissful happiness would surely lead to great things. could honestly say I wouldn't mind being completely alone at this point. hopefully someday, this could happen, but until then, I'll try not to give my hopes up. thanks to all who hear me out. pz. ♥
