Forbidden to Write

“Confess to yourself in the deepest hour of the night whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write. Dig deep into your heart, where the answer spreads its roots in your being, and ask yourself solemnly, Must I write?”

My translation: In everyday life we come to crossroads when we must make choices.  We can only try our hardest, if that, because well... we are only human right?  As people we have aspirations and dreams, sometimes we have so many dreams or "loves" that we must pick and chose ones we'll hang onto.  Those forgotten loves, the lost dreams, die.  This quote isn't quite as dramatic if taken literally and logically.  No living person who physically stop breathing if forbidden to write.  This is the representation of the crossroads they would endure if faced with such a decision.

Give Peace A Chance

After watching hours of CNN specials on the death and blatant murder of John Lennon; it's almost surprising it has been thirty years since the unforgettable December 8th anniversary this Wednesday. I have also come to a conclusion and out right decision. I don't want to hear about the demise of Lennon, he continues on to be a legend and such an inspiration to all people.  It is because of this continuation, this ongoing celebration of life, I want to do nothing more than just that.  Celebrate the short life of a great man, celebrate this worldwide impact he crafted in his time and honor him in happiness and above all, peace.  I think he would desire nothing more. 

So this week, don't get caught up in sadness, in death.  Don't bring attention to the little fucker who pulled the gun.  Allow John Lennon to rest in peace.  On that note, Give Peace A Chance!  :)

Pink - Raise Your Glass

Oh how I love her. I would give up almost any dick in the world :)

Faux Fur?

I am usually opposed to fur coats, whether real or fake, in general; it's not that they don't look good, I'm just more of the leather jacket type.  A couple of weeks ago I actually spent hours online looking for a decent addition to my winter wardrobe and stumbled upon an "Express Minus the Fur Coat."  With a coupon I decided to go for it, the fur look is glamorous if done right.  I think?

So the point is, if someone who happens to be reading this is pondering the idea of purchasing faux fur; Do it!  Just read reviews and buy from someone reputable; because faux fur can be glamorous in an old Hollywood kind of way.  Love it!

Rambling

Life is so tragic.  Without hope or purpose it seems as though there is no point in living because true hopelessness is a journey with no light at the end of the tunnel.  I guess that's why so many people look to religion for comfort, a purpose for their lifelong pain.  If we all could look forward to some sort of heaven and pray for salvation then we could live with hope.  For some reason I never bought into this, after years of religious training and schooling I was never particularly religious.  To be completely honest, I don't even think there's a God let alone an afterlife.  It's unexplainable; I just cannot spiritually sense it or believe that there's logic behind the stories of religion.  This doesn't mean I'm not open minded.  I wish I could see "the light," but simply just cannot.

Lady Gaga!

She's amazing right?  You may or may not agree, but there is something so incredibly liberating about watching her performances.  Gaga seems like a strong ass woman, so glamorous and inspirational; I just wanted to share :)  Haha.  Does anyone else see her as a future (if not already) gay icon, legendary artist but also a fashion icon?  Time can only tell!  Also can't wait for her new album, "Born This Way."




(God, she is a sexpot!)



Lip Statement!

After trying out various shades and brands of lipstick and gloss, I have come to a conclusion.  Lipcolor can make such a statement in an effortless way.  Feel free to share your favorites as well, these are the ones I've discovered...

Ultimate Red:  Maybelline's Red Revival!  After trying various shades such as MAC's Russian Red, Red Revival is the current best.  So creamy and such a true and flattering red for all skin types. 


Gorgeous Pink: Viva Glam Gaga by MAC.  A gorgeous blue pink shade endorsed by Lady Gaga for $14.50, every dollar is donated to MAC Aids Charity Fund.  Also in a matching lipglass for those who don't do well with lipsticks.

Best Nude: Yet another MAC satin shade called Myth... it's absolutely perfect and also works well with fair skin.  A very popular favorite, for a reason too.

Are We Living in a "Prozac Nation?"

It was just in 1995 when Elizabeth Wurtzel published her memoir titled "Prozac Nation," where she explored her own life long struggle with depression.  She writes in such a way that is so raw, this piece can even be helpful to those going through this "ongoing battle," which can seem so dark and strange.  No negative feedback here, it's honestly just an amazing read.

“I start to think there really is no cure for depression, that happiness is an ongoing battle, and I wonder if it isn't one I'll have to fight for as long as I live. I wonder if it's worth it.” 

But is it?

I an obviously new to blogspot, first post!  Spending all day with blogspot search to help myself out.  Ugh.  If anyone has any advice to help a newbie then please comment. :)
