Living by the Lake...
has it's adavantages - for instance, while writing this, I am sitting by a window and there is a cool breeze blowing in. It's nice because the heat's been so opressive lately....
I have a taste for dim sum...but no one to share it with - probably brought on by the last posting (but that was about a Japanese art form - not Chinese - oh well - it's still something Asian...) - please don't take any offense if you are from either group - I just want some dim sum....
I did some things for myself this weekend (yesterday) - I went and got myself a manicure (which looks wonderful). I also bought some books and things from Half-Price Book - something I have been trying not to do - because I have too much crap to read now. I piced up a CD: "Every Breath You Take" by the Police.
One of the other things I picked up though, was a copy of 'The Last Temptation of Christ', By Nikos Kazantakis (for 90 cents) (what the fuck happened to the cents symbol on the keyboard???) - so it was a great find. I have been so wanting to read this book - since I can't sit through the film (the crucifixion scenes nearly give me seizures - bummer it's supposedly an incredible film). *chuckle* Yeah try being Catholic and scared to death of crucifixes *smirk*....
On the lighter side I also managed to get a copy of 'Me Talk Pretty One Day' by David Sedaris - one of the funniest writers on the planet.

So I don't get people. There's someone out there I've been talking to almost since the inception of this blog. And they seem to be upset with me - and I can't figure out for the life of me why. If it's because of my political stances on things I'd like to say I am sorry but I'd just be lying, so I won't. If it's because of any off-colour remarks on this blog - well I don't know (*shrugs*) I mean I've always been a little off-colour - so what's the big friggin' deal?
I don't fit into your little box, I don't agree with the main stream - I think things that may be unpopular, naughty, 'not-normal', I am not a sheep....does that surprise you my dear?
Oh well....life sucks don't it? I guess the reason why this bothers me a bit is because I did not expect this type of behaviour from this person - I guess I thought they were above this kind of bullshit/pettiness and could understand when someone held a differing view point - I hope and pray I am wrong about this - but if not I guess it was no big loss in the first place.

People often get "disappointed" in me when I no longer fit their perception of me. Sometimes they are disappointed that I'm not as wild and crazy as they believe me to be.
I never said I was every part of my personna at all times. I always think of myself as a prism...you can turn me in different directions and see different things, depending on your ability to accept the change of direction.
No need for you to change who you are, but, then again, it hurts a boatload when people who used to "get" you cease to.
as for the Police and Kazantzakis...I have always loved that song for its gentle obsessive qualities. I wrote extensively on the film version of Kazantzakis and still have to read the book. I am wondering if the gravest sin of Christ was interpreted properly by Scorsese. Having a pretty good sense of M.S., I doubt he'd have done the film if he didn't get it on the level that K. meant it.
