Breaking Up Is As Easy As 1 2 3 (Re-post)

Through the surprise. Through the bitterness. Through the tears. Through the anger. Onto the mourning. Onto the death. Into the rebirth. Into the Discovery. Into your Self.

I give you my musical prescription for moving beyond failed relationships, and getting back in touch with your Self.

I give you 123 songs that put you through the necessary ringer, only to bring you out of the drier fluffier and better-smelling.

The Relationship Coin (Re-post)

To all the friends and lovers I've broken up with:


I still love you

I just can't be around you because you cause me pain, confusion, doubt

I don't trust you; you make me not trust my self

You don't care for me as much as I care for you

You hurt yourself, and I can't stand idly by while you continue to deny your self-hate

You don't understand me like you think you do

I'm tired of fighting

I don't like where this is going

I don't see where this is going

This is going nowhere

I just want to be happy (not with you)

I don't like being associated with you

You embarass me

You disgust me

You need me too much

You put me on a pedestal

You drive me crazy

We are bad for each other

I miss you some times



To the friends and lovers who've dumped me:


With each passing day, I understand why more and more

I wish you had given me another chance

Why was it a competition?

I put you on a pedestal

I still love you

That's OK

I think I cared more about you than you cared about me

You really hurt me
You really made me doubt myself

You taught me so much about love

Maybe I am still IN love with you

You were right

I remind myself of you sometimes lately

I'm glad we had our time together

You put me on a pedestal

Sorry I wasn't what you wanted

Sorry I wasn't who you thought I was

Sorry I didn't make it

Sorry I wasn't strong enough

Sorry I said those things to you

I just wanted you unconditionally

You broke my heart

You will have my heart forever

You were right not to trust me

You drive me crazy

We were not right for each other

I miss you all the time

Number 1 (Re-post)

A loud horn just honked outside for like 20 seconds. It was quiet except for this piercing note. The note struck something inside of me, and my mind floated away with a cloud and my consciousness said "Number 1".


So I turned on the Goldfrapp song and sure enough, the song began with the same clear and powerful note.


Incensed, I got out my Harmonica. I had to know if it was a C. Sure enough, it is a C.


Many scientists and people who work with sound frequencies and pitch, etc. consider C to be like perfection. The way it resonates, and the power the note carries in all of its octaves and in fifths.


Following the feeling - that high you get from synchronicity - I got to Googling.

Courtesy of Wikipedia:




** From the discussion **:
Talk:Middle C
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

"There's one pitch in which middle C is 256Hz (philosophical pitch? I can't remember the name). Has the nice advantage of all Cs being powers of 2! -- Tarquin


It is indeed called philosophical pitch (or sometimes "scientific pitch") and was reasonably popular for a while. It's very handy mathematically speaking if the only notes you're going to use are Cs - otherwise the nasty twelfth-roots of equal temperament come along and make all the other pitches things like D=287.350284Hz ;-) I'm going to write about different pitch standards at pitch (music) one day, it's an interesting subject, I think. I'll spruce this page up a bit as well. --Camembert

Then I got to thinking about the mathematical element to a keyboard, music, and C. From my esoteric studies, I know C is considered to be the note of enlightenment and higher consciousness.

I remembered reading about fractals in relation to C, which made me google fractals and pitch and C.

Courtesy of Terry Blackburn.us:






Experiences like this only support my belief and faith that the theory of Universality, also called the theory of "Everything" will indeed be discovered.

We are everything; everything is connected.

We discover more every day.

Like Whoaaaa (Re-post)

Heads up - this is a train of thought kind of thing. Be warned.

brokeback mountain won many globes.
in my globe, all personal and soft-like,
roommates get diagnosed with cancer
love is shared and parts are scared.
dad is there. he does care.

jobs are cancelled. sorry!!
"but i had an appointment"
"SORRY! CANCEL!" (hahaha)

squealing mouse is trapped in glue by the fridge
but I'm too much of a baby to throw him
in the trash
or out the window onto neighboring rooftops;
though I hear his squeaking - cries for help -

As if the boogeyman is opening my bedroom door
I am helpless and paralyzed -we know death awaits him.

I tried tonight
but again I was off.
the smells and the laughs
weren't quite right.

my spheres were colliding
and my fault lines ruptured a bit.
perhaps the lines in my face
were mirrored by the waves
in my voice?

I
am beginning to think
perhaps it's best,
maybe
it would be best
if I never said anything at all.

Numb and pleasurable, expensive cab rides.

I find myself at home again thanks to FDR Drive.
It really was just not
in any way
sexual or sensual,
esoteric or aesthetic,
worth it.

I feel like a mannequin.
Pose me, bend me
fuck me, stuff me.
Sew your shit onto me
and please then call me your work.

Funniest Graffiti EVER! (Re-post)

Phoenix (aka Le' Phoenix *said with French accent*, aka Hungry Eyes) on Avenue A and 13th Street has the funniest bathroom graffiti.

Graffiti always makes a statement, but in true gay style, the graffiti at Phoenix is too fabulous for words.

My personal favorites are:

"Beyonce shops at Strawberry"

and (though you must imagine a man bent over spreading his hairy ass cheeks exposing his brown starfish covered in black specks)

"Anal Warts: OUCH!"

How One Night In Amsterdam Changed My Life (Re-post)

I was always interested in dreams (lucid, nightmares, etc.) ESP, and ghosts/paranormal activity. I was never baptised, but perhaps the duality of growing up with faith-filled though non-religious parents, and other god-fearing caregivers prepared me for the kind of life and belief system I now live.

On May 13th, 2003 I found myself graduated from college and in Amsterdam on my way to Germany for three months. Amsterdam made my head, mind, and heart spin. That first night in Europe, I felt connected to something I'd never experienced before. It was not the "Oh Europe is so beautiful and amazing" feeling. I had lived in Europe in high school, so that aspect of the trip was lost on me this sophomore time around. What I felt I can only describe as an intense presence... and though invisible, so overwelmingly powerful. It made me euphoric, and at times fearful for my life. I felt pulled, yet comforted.

After museum-ing all day (odd sidenote- Rembrandt's the Lamentation of Christ brought me to tears at the Van Gogh Museum - I felt compelled, and returned to the painting four times), I began walking the streets alone at night, looking for a club I'd heard about. But while lost, I stumbled upon a place where strobe lights and great bumping music pulled me in. Following my intuition, I stayed, as if waiting for something. The music was great, and after dancing for a while and enjoying a drink, found one of the most beautiful creatures I'd ever seen standing in front of me.

Right when I said that thought in my mind, he started walking towards me smiling as if he was waiting for me and knew what was about to take place. As if he knew that he would be the catalyst for everything that was to follow.

While asking me general questions about myself, he lightly pinched and prodded various parts of my body, and by the end of the coversation, I felt spread open, yet knew nothing of him. He told me I wouldn't believe how old he was, or how to understand his name if he told me.

Two friends of his appeared, but were obviously not as in control of themselves... they tried to get me to go to a basement darkroom with them. Tired from my flight and walking all day, and apprehensive about casual sexual encounters with a stranger (or strangers!?), I told him I would love to see him again, but I was not going to be joining them.

He looked at me and said "It's for the best anyways." Feeling challenged and confused, I asked why. He said "It's going to be too dangerous for you." And he began to look impatient. Feeling my ego challenged once again, I asked "What do you mean by that?"

He looked in my eyes, leaned in close, and made a noise in my ear only for me to hear - but this was no normal sound. It was a chord, and with it, it carried pure energy, and I am to this day not sure if I so much heard it as FELT it. I remember first feeling it above my head, and then as if the feeling washed over and crept down my entire body.He leaned back smirking, knowing what effect he had just had on me. I was so afraid and confused. I felt in the presence of something inhuman; something I could never understand. My first intuition was to ask "What are you??" but my logic stopped me at "What ar---"... because he started to giggle, and it wasn't the first time I felt he had read my mind. Then I asked "What was that?" instead. He replied "You should run now." And I left. His eyes followed me the whole way with a curious smirk on his face...

Since that happened, I have felt increasingly more and more aware... I can read peoples' minds and affect their moods. For the longest time, I felt schizophrenic. So overwelmed, isolated, afraid, detached and scattered, yet so connected to EVERYTHING.

I began to understand complex concepts in the fields of physics, string/chaos theory, and quantum mechanics. Somewhere in my journey I found some books called Galactic Allignment, Redfield's Celestine Prophecy, Talbot's The Holographic Universe, and The Quickening by Stuart Wilde.

In the last 2 years, I've had friends and lovers condemn me for my new awareness, had countless arguments pleading for those I've loved or who've loved me to understand that I don't want to start a cult, or even worship anything (other than enlightenment/consciousness itself). And most recently, I've seen certain friends, coworkers, and family members grow fearful of my gaze, my words, and my physical presence in general.

People have become more and more hesitant to make eye contact with me. More interesting though - just recently, I'm beginning to feel the same noise quietly waiting, and growing inside my throat, and I know it will come out of me as it did him some time sooner than later. It already has, but not strong enough or focused enough to sustain.

The level of denial (of the ascension or the human potential movement) has increased in those around me as well, yet not everyone. I am definitely experiencing first-hand the poloarization of society. Though they don't realize it, many people are becoming more and more aware (thanks to alternative media, internet, iPods, and TIVO), and they are enunciating Human Potential Movement (HPM) ideas... spreading light and not even realizing they are doing it... At the same time, more and more people have synchronistically found their ways into my life and me into theirs, etc.

I know something is unfolding. I feel it and see evidence of it more and more every day that passes. And I feel the need less and less to understand or exert control. My prayer fields/intent/energy are becoming stronger and stronger. I don't completely understand my purpose in the midst of all this, but it's becoming clearer and clearer as time passes, and I am more content than I have felt my whole life, just knowing things are moving forward. I have begun feeling quite powerful with the idea that I am living and doing my mission every day without even thinking about it and without predetermined motive. All it requires is good intent. I feel things speeding up and slowing down at the same time.

If I am sure of one thing (and I was not sure of this right after my strange experience in Amsterdam)- whatever he was, he did what he did to me out of love. I requested in subconsciously on some level. I was ready to be awakened, and knew that I needed it in a dramatic/jarring fashion. Right now, while writing this, it came to me that he was a part of my soul group... and even perhaps a non-corporeal version of my higher self (we did look somewhat alike). Interesting. I knew I felt compelled to write for a reason.

This is a magical and pivotal time in our planet's existence. Let's all take advantage. I'm glad and will continue to be glad to be here and a part of this evolution.

Up On Magic Mountain (Re-post)

I am on this huge Blonde Redhead kick the last couple days.

It's making me feel nauseous and dizzy. Spinning with delirium. Lovely sad.

Here are the lyrics to one of my favorites:

"Magic Mountain"

At magic mountain
Nobody sings today
Nobody speaks today
Close my eyes
And hope to see
Weeks go by like a day
In a lowland

I live up on magic mountain
No one leaves magic mountain

At magic mountain
Nothing changes
Everything stays the same
Cross my heart
And hope to leave
All the time
With a little fever

I stay here on magic mountain
No one leaves magic…

My heart hears you sing
My heart sees you speak
But I never make it in the flatlands
I must stay on magic mountain

Oh Heathcliff - It's me Cathy. I've come home! (Re-post)

Daydreaming while going to the deli to get pudding to make. Smoking a cigarette outside, the many bunches of roses - their smell, their count, their beauty - made me think

"Maybe you really are a romantic?"

I questioned what color I would buy. Definitely not red. Or white for that matter. But what color? The yellow? The burnt gray-yellow? The pink? Surely not.

Then the tulips caught my eye. Sweet and unassuming, their clumsy and hesitant flowers had not even bloomed yet. Their potential had not yet been realized.

The daydream gains steam. Grande. For the sake of making history, I question how I would like to show up at his door. Would the Cure's "Pictures of You" be playing? What would I be wearing? What does the look in his eyes say when he opens the door? Can my kisses make him cry out of joy? Am I wearing a trenchcoat with no clothes on underneath except for a pair of skimpy briefs, or will my outfit say "I'm playing it cool man."? Will I have a hat on? A scarf? A hat over my heart with the flowers extended like a treaty (or maybe an offering to a pagan god)?

What will my heart say? My eyes will give me away.

A confession? A bribe?

"I'll let you love me, and I'll love you with all my heart as long as you don't try to hurt me."

No that would never work.

A smirk?

Always the gentleman. There is no deception here.

Cup spilling over. Wuthering Heights.

Like a vampire, I wouldn't dare enter any home, or cross any threshold unless invited. But what I wouldn't give to bury my senses -- to feast on the joy, pain, and wonder that is you.

Astrological Chart (Re-post)

Ok, now let's get started with the analysis of your birth chart. We begin with a look at your planets and houses. This is rather technical data for those people who know a lot about astrology.

The position of the planets in the signs of the Zodiac has an influence on the character of the individual and these influences form a large part of the individual psyche.

The most important information from the following table are: your sun sign, moon sign and your ascendant. The sun sign is the most general information in your horoscope. However you should make special note of your ascendant (Asc), also called rising sign. Never forget your rising sign as it give you more in-depth information about yourself. The Moon sign is also important as it reflects your emotions and intuitive side of your nature. In the Old Astrology, the Moon sign was a lot more important as the more general Sun sign.
