I need a nap, a manicure and a margarita.
I left out the ones where I'm doing the Macarena. Maybe tomorrow.

Say Yes
Abbey Lee Kershaw + Numero + Greg Kadel
I know this photo is old. But I didn't forget about it. And now it's at the top. (Header.)
Also "Say Yes" isn't a reference to Elliot Smith. It's a reference to 2010's newest addition to the resolution list.
Sort of like that stupid Jim Carrey movie.
Watch what happens. #Bravo. (Ha.)
But really, the past two week have continually forced me to question my own mortality. I may as well make it worth it while I'm still here.
Say. Yes.

Like Eating Glass.
Block Party - Like Eating Glass
After my ex-boyfriend's mom died he wouldn't stop playing this song. That was a difficult time.
I feel like for some reason in their darkest moments my friends lean the hardest on me.
I take it because for some ridiculous reason I think that I'm meant to put these broken people back together.
And once they're well. They go on.
That time was different. I had to leave. It was too broken and dark.
I tried.
But it was like he was trying to fill up that giant void in his life with me.
(Maybe my mistake was letting him.)
So I gave and I gave and I gave until I had nothing left to give.
But I think that really ended up hurting him. And he still blames me for a lot of things.
You can't plug up and distract your feelings forever.
I had to draw the line when after six months after it happened he started driving by my house to see if my bedroom light was on.
He lived in the Woodland Hills and I lived downtown.
I'm not sure why I'm thinking about this.

Kanye West reflects on his first album, demons, McQueen etc.
“I’m on the plane listening to The College Dropout. It brings back so many memories. When we made it I had all 6 parents, 4 grandparents and my mom and dad. Now I have my dad and my grandfather. Music is so nostalgic. Every song I listen to brings me back to when I first played them for my mom, when I first played them for Dame, when I first played them for Jay, when I first played them for Kweli, when I first played them for my niggas back in Chi, when the album first came out, when I first called Ebro from Hot 97 and begged him to play Through The Wire, when DJ Pharris blew me up in The Chi . We used to be the niggas rocking polo shirts, Louie back packs, Paper denim jeans and exclusive Adidas from Sporty LA. WE were the underdogs. I never feel like I’m not the underdog. I never feel completely comfortable. I’m tormented by the need to create. With the loss of McQueen I feel like we lost one of the faces of modern creativity’s Mount Rushmore. There were times that the only thing that kept me on this earth was the need and responsibility to create. Maybe Mcqueen felt his job was done because his last collection was the greatest of the decade. We are all so hurt. I know we’re selfish because he brought us so much joy and inspiration. I know how it feels when the night demons come. We can’t let them control our hands and feet. Sometimes when it hurts so bad we have to just lay in bed. Just lay in bed and don’t move please, I know how it feels. I wish McQueen could have just been still. Don’t let the psychiatrists give you their drugs because it slows down your wings. Society and public opinion can beat the wings off of angels. When God sees they can’t take it anymore he brings them back home. During this new album process sometimes I turn the music up and drink and cry. When something sounds so amazing and groundbreaking I’m reminded of why I live. I drink the pain of now 2 generations and breathe our melodies and messages. The music keeps us alive. I was blessed with the opportunity to bring my and others dreams to life. It’s like performing magic or something. It’s surreal. We bring the unrealistic to reality. Go hard go hard go hard echoes in my dreams. When I wake up and brush my teeth and look in the mirror its like I see Michael and my mom and Malcolm…Who’s that African in the background Mom? Oh, he created the original layouts for the pyramids, but was written out the history books and his MTV award was given to “Aliens”. There’s no such thing as fact anymore, only opinion. The closest thing we have to “fact” is “common opinion.” Everything is an opinion. The way you dress is an expression of your opinion. Your religious beliefs are your opinion. The music you turn up loud is your opinion. For most people it’s easier to just agree. For me the hardest this is to ‘just’ agree and that is what sparks creativity, the feeling that something can be better, the feeling that something’s missing, the feeling that’s something’s needed.”
