AND SO ON AND SO FORTH...

Every now and then theres nothing more satisfying than getting into a deep philosophical conversation with people Ive only met minutes before. Last night I had one of those. I love to hear other peoples aspects and views on the world. Especially when theyre opinionated. One of the things that was discussed was substance abuse and drug addiction. We touched on everything, whether its really a genetic thing, environmental, learned behavior etc.. J specialized in this field which really made it a lot more interesting. The one thing that we did come to a conclusion to was that, its a terrible problem that affects all age groups, social classes and genders needing an escape from reality, trauma and emotional stress (Of course these were our own opinions.)

We also touched on the word -
NORMAL

I despise the word normal. Who decides who is normal and by what standard is anyone considered normal? Does some worldwide achievement test filled with multiple choice survey questions determine normalcy? Ive decided that the word normal should be wiped out of the dictionary when used to describe people. I think that BALANCED should replace normal. (Can you tell that Im a LIBRA??) Yep. I am and Im sure as hell not normal. Id like to say that Im balanced but who knows. Point is, normal needs to go.

On a separate note. My brother in law comes into my room every morning and looks in my mirror. He doesnt have a mirror in his room and I hope her never gets one because hes hilarious! He also values my opinion and listens when I give him wardrobe advice so in my book hes ace!

BIG THRILLS..

So its been a while. Lets see, MICHAEL JACKSON died, apparently he is worth more now than he was when he was alive. Such a pity. Poor FARRAH FAWCETT, she took the back seat on the very same day. The TV cant get enough of this story while FARAH is long forgotten about.

Ive been riding my pride and joy lately. My scooter. Not just any scooter for that matter. My pink STELLA. Gosh I love that thing. Today was my little sisters birthday. Happy B little S!!

I have this odd feeling that Im getting sick, lets hope Im not. Had a blast yesterday. Today was pretty chilled too. Im all about letting things just happen and rolling with them. I find it to be the best way to be. Thinking too much about stuff becomes exhausting.

Im obsessed with SUFJAN STEVENS again. I always love him but sometimes hes all I listen to, and now thats whats been doing with me. Love the SEVEN SWANS album. His voice is so distinctive. Its just so soothing and instantly puts me into a mellow happy mood. If SIZE TOO SMALL doesnt do it for you, I dont know what will. Of course TO BE ALONE WITH YOU is a classic, but THE DRESS LOOKS NICE ON YOU is just (100 percent)...... THE TRANSFIGURATION, yummy. Im going to post some of them at the end of this entry and you tell me if youre not instantly calm and nostalgically warm.

PASSION PIT is on the rotation too for when Im in the mood for some fun tunes. This years new MGMT if you ask me.
Believe it or not I really like the new BLACK EYED PEAS album- THE E.N.D when im in the right mood. Meaning, in the car, blasting it with people.

Ive been playing my ukulele again. I love that thing. Thats all I really need. My uke, my scooter, my music and the special few people who make my days brighter. Okay, okay and ICE CUBES gum.

Ciao for now.
