				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mean dark twisty words.  For sure.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t like them.  They piss me off.</p>
<p>Malcontent of heart turns your spirit to stone IMO.</p>
<p>Hypocrisy, leads to bad policy, bad feelings, and bad practice.</p>
<p>Both of these are relevant in our daily lives, in politics, in our every move.</p>
<p>I do not get being mean to destroy.  What the fuck is the point?  I mean, yeah, I am a bitch&#8230;I have my evil moments.  But real meaness, with out true bearing on reality?  Malice out of boredom, that is meant to truly hurt?  This pisses me off.  I cannot help it.  Get a grip.  Live how you want.  That is the right of the individual.  But I truly believe that do unto other stuff.  And Karma.  She&#8217;s a bitch.  Just sayin&#8230;</p>
<p>So what has set me off?  Turn on CNN. Review the world.  There is much greatness.  I will not lie.  But, the individual ugliness, cannot be ignored.</p>
<p>The world is what we, each and every one of us makes it.  For every negative turn, I take my own actions responsible.  But, yes, there is a but&#8230;But, I have empathy.  I may think someone is a bitch, ass, etc&#8230;but I try to see their side.  Why, why do I give a fuck?   I have no idea.  But, I refuse to judge others for petty trangressions.  To me that illustrates the practice of malice and hypocrisy, all rolled up into one.</p>
<p>Do 2 wrongs make a right?  Sadly, no.  Thus, cracking on someone&#8217;s ass, just because you &#8220;think&#8221; they have done you wrong, well it is petty, and it is small.  Ok, maybe it is huge.  But it is not productive.  Productive is solving things, working for something, creating things, promoting things.  Productive is not tearing things down.  That would be called: destruction.</p>
<p>While destruction may have it&#8217;s attraction, it is without a next step.  </p>
<p>Sleep well, and make love not war.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:verdana;">So, what kinds of things are sticking in my craw right about now?!?!?!</p>
<p>LOL…eh, so much to choose from.</p>
<p>First, this is my place, so I can talk about whatever the fuck I want, so I will&#8230;if you don’t like it, you can just click away to another place…good, we understand eachother, xoxo <img src="http://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>That same consideration I give to everyone&#8230;.you have your own myspace, blog, whatever, you do whatever you want…it is yours. I won’t tell you what you can do with it, if you should, shouldn’t moderate it, track it, delete it, make it private, whatever…it’s all yours baby.</p>
<p>Me, well most all of that shit, is too much trouble. Can I have a tracker…hell yeah! Do I? Well that’s my business! Lol…But honestly, all that stuff is more trouble than its worth mostly…What it does teach you, is that there is little to no way, that anyone is truly anonymous. I am not, I don’t really ever try to be.</p>
<p>But, I also hold no illusions.</p>
<p>Do any of us really? If I really want to know you are you, well some of us will meet, some of us not. For those of us that don’t there is a giant leap of faith we take. In the end, though, it matters not.</p>
<p>Cyberspace is a wonderful, crazy, dangerous, exciting, amazing place. We get to chatter w/folks from around the world, from all walks of life. Doesn’t matter if you are famous, or exceedingly common, or even DULL! Of course, folks will impersonate and represent themselves alternately through this medium. This is part of the ultimate craziness.</p>
<p>Do I really care about this? Not really. Do I ever pretend to be other than myself out there? Sure, it is fun. Do I care if you do? Not really. Do I care if you share space with someone and say you are them, and them you? Oy! Tres confusing. But your thing , not mine! Some call this cyber fraud. Whatever. If you are a frog, and pretend to be Prince, lol…well, at least use a nice picture! If you are a goddess and pretend to be an Adonis……..well…uhmmm, you have your own issues! If you are a real person, and are portraying an inanimate object……..just play it REALLY still. Just sayin;)</p>
<p>OK, then….</p>
<p>So what else is there…well, I have been privy to….alot of interesting information recently…..about all sorts of folks………eh, it’s entertaining…but then so is E! News, and People magazine.</p>
<p>Reality, I don’t necessarily care who is fucking who, who is impersonating who, who is cheating on who, etc, etc…………..but….but it is funny to hear about, sometimes. I find it amusing, really, those that get overly caught up in it………..that want to have a say, in say, some famous person fucking someone else. Uhmmm, lol, if it is not me they are fucking, then it probably doesn’t matter what I really think about it……….unless one of the 2 parties is calling to ask my advice, lol….and so far, that only happens w/the closest of close friends, lol……..</p>
<p>You know, if any artist, singer, dancer, movie star, decides to date the funniest looking person ever………..with the most disgusting job ever……..whatever…..how they are both having a good time. Not my issue…just sayin….that said, I might find it amusing if you tell me about it…but it does not effect my state of mind…..though sometimes other peoples craziness…lets face it…….helps make us all feel a little more sane. That is why the Enquirer, has such high circulation……….That and the space aliens……</p>
<p>Ok, now …let me not beat too far around the bush…………..I have been reading all over the internet recently, a few people that are all BENT over a few chicas that are all up in their Boytoy’s interests……….SHOCK! lol….quells……..</p>
<p>Peeps…this is not new!!!! Girls DO THIS. Lol…I mean, seriously! I have talked to lots of significant others of folks in the music industry this last year……….they are, mostly all cool people….I do not know them, but they have all been polite…whether I have met them face to face or chatted w/them via email through some research I was doing on said artist.</p>
<p>I have talked to family members, band members….all cool peeps. SO’s are just an extension of this. Many have been very active on their mates sites, message boards, etc….some are artists or musicians themselves……..others, are just there, doing whatever for their Man or Woman, as it were…. It’s all good peeps.</p>
<p>And big FAT evs to any of you that give a rats ass about anyone that has impersonated anyone. That’s right… WHO THE FUCK CARES?!?!?!?… most of the folks I have met in person, are cool. What goes on in cyberspace…it is just crazy as I said above. I really hold no expectations of it.</p>
<p>I am all for promotion of artists and their respective talents. Let’s do what we can. I am also all about amusement and fun…………….. tell me shit, I will lmao w/you…. Snark about someone’s hair, yeah baby, you know I am there… tell ME ALL ABOUT how they sang song after song to YOU looking into your eyes the whole time, BWAH… it’s all good.</p>
<p>The rest, if you are just about this land of cyber, to complain, or yank my chain about your agenda……..well, I might listen, or I might tell you to fuck off. That is MY prerogative.</p>
<p>Love Baby Love. Don’t fuck with my mellow.</p>
<p>Doubles for EVERYONE!<br /></span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, there are many outlets these days, for all of us to say our piece, right?  Well, hell, this is my blog, so, eh, I am soooooo, going to say it here!</p>
<p>Continue to read at your own risk.  Not for the faint of heart.  Also, this is not a hearts and flowers bit, as I am more prone to.  This is just a bit angst filled, so again, proceed at your own risk.  This is me ranting to myself.  I am not sending this to anyone, you will only read this if you are making an effort to.  Additionally, this is not directed at anyone.  Period.  Alot of stuff has just set me off lately, so I am just going to go off on some stuff that I think here&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8211; I am sick and tired of folks being holier than thou.  WTF!??!?!  Live life as you mean it, don&#8217;t preach to me, what you think I am doing wrong.  Worry about your own choices, behavior, actions, etc.</p>
<p>&#8211; Being mean &#8211;  there is no excuse, if you are mean, fucking own it.  Am I a nasty ass bitch sometimes, yeah, probably.  I am cool with that, and I own the consequences.  That said, don&#8217;t make excuses for others that are mean, rude, etc.  We all have to live with our own actions.  If you do something that hurts someone else, be careful, karma is a bitch, it might come up and bite you back on the ass!  That said, please becareful!  This can become a viscious cycle&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8211; Hypocrisy.  Do I really need to go on?  Well I will anyway.  We see this in politics all the freakin time.  I see it daily, in person.  The way people behave.  Again, I think this goes back to owning what you do.  Actions speak louder, etc.  Don&#8217;t say one thing, believe one thing, and then, do the other, act another way.  Just freakin be consistent whatever you do.  This is tough, even for me!  But, it sure makes more sense.  Just sayin;)</p>
<p>-You don&#8217;t have to like me, and I don&#8217;t have to like you.  This is the biggest issue I have with some folks.  The need to &#8216;be liked&#8217;.  You know, I don&#8217;t like everyone&#8230;and I really don&#8217;t want everyone to like me.  We are all different.  That I accept.  Sometimes, some of us do not see eye to eye, and will never converge on the basics.  That is cool.  Those folks do not need to be my enemy, but they sure as heck, do not need to be my friends either.</p>
<p>&#8211; Friendship.  I have friends that I have been friends with for over 20 years.  Gee, am I getting old?  I also have friends I have met in the last year.  I love you all.  I value you all.  I am extremely loyal.  If you ever need anything, I will be there for you.  I expect the same thing in return.  If you have a problem with me, come to me, don&#8217;t be passive agressive, don&#8217;t bitch about me to someone else.  Also, I don&#8217;t choose between friends.  Sorry, just doesn&#8217;t happen.  I don&#8217;t fight with friends either.  It is simply not worth the drama.  I accept that my friends, like myself, are not perfect.  But you all are fun, and decent, good people.  Lets just respect each other, and carry on.</p>
<p>Ok, so the brunt of my bitchiness has worn off&#8230;maybe more will come to me later?  LOL&#8230;I hope not, but you never know.  Over an out for now.  I hope everyone is having a good day;) See, I am a hearts and flowers, kumbaya chick!  Really, I am !  (what the fuck ever, eh?!?!?!?!?)</p>
