Rosa

What can ya say
about Rosa Parks?

100% human

goodnight Rosa

coming home

I could sense
the enchantment

long before I left home

dinner with the gang
felt like it always did

time never moved so quickly
back in the days of Northwest

old faces
with new expressions
marriages
babies
divorces

haircuts

so far removed
from what we left it at
almost felt like 15 years
had breezed by

reunion
with my friends
no, my family

I now know
the mystique that is
homecoming.

and Northwest won!!!

The Dielsi Files

The following are direct,
unaltered quotes
from my Art History teacher,
Maria Dielsi-Connolly

Every Tuesday from 12:30 to 4:30
Art History takes off
and with it come some of the
best things I have ever heard from a teacher
in my life.

This girl says "Fuck," kids!
Gotta love that.

So here we go,
The Dielsi Files
Weeks 1 and 2

On Prehistoric Man and Art:

"It's all about the wild thing."

"It's instinctual - we don't care what the orifice is,
we just want to shove something in it."

"Next thing you know, all sorts of things
start popping up and getting hard"

"Joe. Got. Dead."

"I don't know nothing about balls because I don't have them, but hack off my tits and I might have something to say about it."

God I love this woman.

A Naked Fiddler on the Appian Way

In New York today
saw Rosie O'Donnell in Fiddler
she was Rosie - but very good

and Jill Clayburgh in
A Naked Girl on the Appian Way

christ what a show that was
there was no intermission
an hour and 45 minutes and no intermission
and if you saw the show
you'd know why
they were afraid
people would get up to stretch
and not come back.

The new Perchik in Fiddler
forgot his name
believe me - it doesn't matter.
Oy. He came AFTER intermission.

So kiddos
it's been a little while
tomorrow we'll talk more, k?

I have lots to tell you.

refurbish

Disney likes that word
remodel doesn't work for them

they refurbish.

so have you noticed?
the blog
a new scheme.
I call it

Rhapsody in Chartreuse.

bye bye blue.

pausing on a sunday, again

well, this is it
packing galore
stress central

I'm so very emotional right now
don't look at me, I'll cry

The first thing to get packed
was the cologne
individually wrapped
in their very own piece of luggage

next were the shoes
oh lord
I had to narrow it down
very hard
also in their own luggage

now is the clothes
eh
I must remember hangers

I went to buy
an electric tea kettle
today
with my Mark
I found the one I liked
but whoa nelly
$70

I bought an iron instead
and 2 blue willow Royal Doulton
teacups and saucers
for my afternoon indulgence.

I am not feeling well
I am tired and sick
and I'm emotional
I hate these transitions.
they fucking suck.

I am not ready to leave.
but I must.

My chil
shes all grown up now.
I'm ready to burst here, chil.
tell them!

facelift

i feel like i should be
more expressive
not in a creative sense
but in an inner sense

i feel like i lose you
you know who you are
rather
today
i feel like i've lost you

why do i keep things within

tonight
i'm feeling the veil of sadness
normally i'd push it aside
like every other aspect of my life
but tonight i'm too tired
i'm internally exhausted

i thought you sensed that

i need to let you know
what i value
and then you can understand this

by now you've begun to know
that i don't say what i feel
at least the emotions that matter
yes, i'm quick to form an opinion
and tell you what i dislike
but those emotions are trivial

I have 1 day.
and a lot to cover.
you were on the agenda
and you removed yourself
let us talk about why
that can fuck up a night
and why?
it comes in a glass.

facelift
T minus 1 day
change of scenery
change of pace
change of attitude
and I WANT you
along for the ride

so get in

return

alright you bitches
let me give you the weekend update

home from Disney World
someone slipped me the Mickey.

got sick.
dreadful.

2 for 2

world record:
spent $75.

airports
when I'm in them
I become crazed
perched
waiting for a confrontation
the slightest hint of attitude
and I pounce
and I'll remove my belt
when YOU remove your belt

GO AHEAD!
GET YOUR FUCKING WAND!

And No, I will not place
my black vachetta leather
very expensive
Cole Haan Man Tote
DIRECTLY on the conveyor thank you.
I will place it in the tupperware
that you have stacked
for the purpose of
me filling it
and then sending it through.

BITCH, PUT DOWN MY TOTE!

who fucking makes these
INSANE
occultist
Airport regulations?

In one corner we have
Nazi Nancy
who boards the plane from
front to back
cause that makes sense
and yells at my 3 year old niece

to which I barked:
"WHO EMPLOYED YOU?"

and got the look
the look that anyone
who has flown since 911
dreads
the "He's becoming a problem - must be a terrorist" look

I think next time I'll just fucking walk, ok?

It would be far less stressing on my heart.

So the blog got a change of makeup
Its more atune to my ideal aesthetic at the moment
this aesthetic frequently changes

The war finally hit close to home
and I hope this does not make people outraged
because suddenly it's real.
IT'S BEEN REAL
and you should ALL be outraged.
daily - soldiers die
And for what?
I have not heard of ONE accomplishment.
NOT ONE!

So help me Jesus,
give us a new president
somehow.
I'm not going to list
the many many ways
that you could make that happen for us
but just pick one
this is excrutiating
the man is utterly worthless
WORTHLESS!!!!

I wish the lot of bible thumping hypocrits
that put him in office
AGAIN
get what they deserve
they should all be drafted
and sent to Iraq
I feel helpless in this.
The Cures for Aids, the cold, cancer
seem more attainable to me right now
and I am furious
that I am feeling this way
in a country where I should not have to

But I am thankful that I am here
I wish more people had the rights
that we are entitled to.
