look ma, no makeup

in my pocket, there’s a tissue

full of face-paint. wiped off during therapy 2nite.

the river wouldn’t stop. 75min of going thru it.

feeling stuck.

hiv. hiv. hiv.

it takes up so much emotional space,

and like the stubborn chick that i am,

i’ve refused to give it the space it deserves.

ouch…

so difficult to release when you keep yourself so busy

trying to keep that space occupied.

getting caught up in the system.

work. play. create.

but remember to listen.

you betta praise the hair

the family

i love my new girlfriend tim.

boobs down, she enjoys life.

tonight, we had dinner with joey arias and jim

and last week we went to a ball with rufus wainwright

and my sister, justin.

i decided as a child that i would never be bored as an adult,

and that decision is most definitely coming to fruition.

boobs down, we always have a good time.

if i may be sentimental

i try not to blog when i’m tipsy… but i am.

2nite i saw rent on b’way

in honor of its closing this year

and i was propelled back to 1996, 18 years old

watching the stage with optimism

my first glimpse of new york

i knew i had to move here.

525,600 minutes measured in love

i became and i pursued

the bohemian life, much different than i expected

but still, the love i became.

only this time, while watching

i realized that it was a moment in time.

the new york that i thought i’d come to know

was not the new york i saw on stage.

but the new york i know now

has fulfilled me in a much different way.

i am living 525,600 minutes a year.

happier, wiser and more content

i’ve tried not to lose my optimism.

thank you ‘rent’

rip

pa-paw

in a voice lesson today

i was singing an exercise

when i remembered how my great-grandfather would yodel

while playing guitar and watching hee-haw.

he grew up mennonite, old-order.

my great-grandmother brought me to love the piano…

she talked so much that

she had to have nodes removed from her vocal chords.

i think they both came into my lesson today

and made me laugh…

i miss my god children!!!

aren’t they the cutest?!?
