does anyone here remember me?

my body's made of hand-grenade  girl bled to death while she was tongue-kissin a razorblade.

'Love matches,' as they are called, have illusion for their father, and need for their mother.

Nietzsche 

[fatefatale]

If I was a different man, if I had blood in my eyes, I could have read of your heart, I could have read of your mind... but now I'm lonely instead, I put up a fight, so pick up your battering ram, love -- I wanna see it. And maybe I talk too fast, and maybe I talk too much --  give me the sensitive laugh, or give me the sensitive touch... even if I could have kissed, and even if I could be the blood I'm so sorry I tried, love.

Hold my life  until I'm ready to use it / Hold my life  because I just might lose it,   because I just might lose it

You can't make your life longer, but you can make it deeper. And the way you make it deeper is by being intentional.

Curiosity prepares us for epiphanies by making us aware of our own blind spots, interested in our own ignorance. It makes us lucky.

Ian Leslie, Curious: The Desire to Know and Why Your Future Depends on It, a book I highly recommend.

I’m sorry, I am, but I find this brilliant, on several levels. I feel it makes such a stark statement about where she is in her life that is both somber and revelatory. I see both a rejection of fame, yet with a hint of a cheeky, “Who else is famous enough to be recognized by silhouette  alone? (Yes, a thousand very valid conversations have been and will continue to be had about how she got that body and what pushed her there and what messages she’s sending to others, I know, I know. But just permit me this, okay? It’s been a long day.) Also, the split train makes me think of a wedding dress and of this as its opposite; this being what you wear to the funeral for your marriage. And, perhaps, given her ongoing work in criminal justice reform and the years she’s devoted to her studies of law, maybe it’s also what you wear to the funeral of Kim Kardashian of Met Galas past.

Okay, that last statement is just wishful thinking, but the rest of it I stand by.

Are we all so wedded to the ‘spectatorial’ gaze -- the confirming, approving gaze of others -- that we don’t feel endorsed in the privacy of our own consciousness?

The original Tears for Fears version of Mad World is so vastly superior to the one everyone loves so goddamned much, the Donnie Darko one, that it just blows my mind --how anyone could genuinely prefer the cover. What are you thinking? What are you hearing? Or rather not hearing?

People are stupid. I don't understand why people like daylight so much. It's so loud when it hits your skin.
