It took me moving to New York to really find some girls that I get down with. And get down we do. Why are we so cliche in so many ways, good ways. 4 bottles of wine later, demolished cheese plate, chocolate dip scraped clean, penis talk still going. I think someone cried?
Then we played Goddess cards! And it was awesome. I remember when I was little and would look through fairy pictures with my friends and we would pick which ones we wanted to be. And we would be them. This was kind of like that, but the cards were destined for us, we chose them blindly. Here's a lesson about some of them.
In order from left to right:
Athena: The olive tree owed to her it's fruit.... (Rosebud, how Greek!)
White Shell Woman: She gave them the animals, she gave them the gift of rain.... (Poppy)
Venus: She was the goddess of chastity, despite the fact that she had many affairs... (D.Dame, you like it)
Themis: The divine voice who first instructed mankind in the rules of order and hospitality... (Miss Melissa, a beyond amazing host)
Amphitrite: Loud moaning mother of fish, seals, and dolphins.. (Bug, you do like animals. A lot.)
Here's a picture going the other way so you can see all our Goddesses. I wanted to write a funny sentence about all of them, but some of the mythical bitches had nothing funny to say on their sites.
Beyond blessed to have these amazing woman in my life. Life's short, have more vagina parties. And the combination of an apple with cheddar cheese dipped in chocolate is pretty fucking delicious. Hay!

Current Inspiration
Ninjas.
And Chuck Norris has always been an idol of mine. This movie, The Octagon, is the perfect example of Chuck at his best. He is so in touch with his being and his instincts are his guide. He knows in this scene that there is something wrong, somebody is there, but he doesn't have time to explore because he has to fight:
Once the lady has sadly been killed and Chuck has extinguished the attackers, he takes a look around to assess the situation and discovers the truth, what he is up against:
NINJA!!!
Stay tuned for something that will blow you away. About Ninja's.

Animal Fun
Sometimes I feel weird about animals and peoples relationships in captivity, but these guys all seem pretty happy with their lives.

What we did during the day....
I love Brooklyn. I love these kids.
Bug and I have been working on a cover of previously mentioned "Drop the World" by Lil' Wayne and Eminem. As we were at her place practicing, the homeboys across the street were bumping the song out on the stoop. We knew then what we had to do. So we played for them. They recorded it and now we share it. It was truly a special moment. Then we drank Hennessy and chatted for a bit. What do you guys think?

He can put.....
He can totally put.
I always knew there was a huge buzz around Lil'Wayne, I finally decided to check him out and I'm in love. He's a creative little shit, his music is dope and he's sexy as hell. He is mom, okay, you just don't get it.
"Unique people get noticed and you're noticing..."
This is the performance from the Grammy's that he did with Eminem. It's edited so it's kind of annoying to watch, but I love that he went out there and said his shit the way he wanted to. And this song "Drop the World" is amazing. I'm a pick the world up and drop it on your fucking head." Say it, it feels really good.

I'm Still Here
Don't worry. So much has happened this last month.
Lost my job, lost a friend, went to Mexico, played a show, sent out resumes;
deciding where to go......
next.
This is the first time in my life I have been unemployed since I began working at 16. My immediate impulse was to send out mass amounts of resumes to bars and restaurants so that New York wouldn't eat me alive with it's rent and seemingly necessary extravagances (I like my $2 a day NY Times, thank you), but things have surprised me. I've surprised myself.
There are choices to be had. The paper, well, I can find used ones in almost any cafe and the crossword is usually in tact. Bottles of wine (good wine) cost less then 2 glasses at a bar (sometimes even 1, depending on your taste), having people over again is nice. Eggs are incredibly versatile, not too expensive and can be used in any meal. Seriously. I still buy organic food and dairy, but with more longevity in mind. Soup can taste good for days.
Beer is cheap. And delicious.
I can make music for free, and it's delicious.
People in the neighborhood are taking care of me. I have been working here and there at Milk Bar, 1 of a Find, and Weather Up. All in my little Brooklyn community. All this helps keep me here, physically and spiritually.
I stay quiet, listen for direction.........what next? Bring it.
