My Life As A Fashionista In A Small Southern Town
This site is going to be a place where I can say whatever I want to say. I happen to be a devil-may-care person who is simply not much of a worrier. Thanks to my father. So most of the people in my life are not comfortable with a care free person. I will always deal responsibly with the issues that come my way but to waste my time worrying over what I cannot change is not my style. I have always tried to live my life by the motto from the 60s, live, laugh, and make love for tomorrow may never come!
These Days!
Live, laugh, and making love is all fine when you are young but now that I am in My Back Pages as a song once said I am beginning to think instead of living La Dolce Vida I am beginning to identify more with Grey Gardens. I spend more time looking backwards than looking forwards. When you have traveled the world and done more than most of your peers you do tend to long for simplier times. You want to slow down time bacause it's picking up speed and you see less of it ahead of you than behind you. When your classmates are dying from cancer, liver disease, heart attacks, the effects of life in the fast lane and age you want to stop the clock. But the clock only mocks you and races forward. Sometimes I still see the girl I once was in my mind but in the mirror I see some older woman has stolen her away and taken her place in my life. That is what this page is for, to jot down some of what that girl remembers before she ceases to exists.

Today's Powerful
As a child of the 60s & 70s do I think this new regime of Obama is a culmination of a grand vision? After a fashion perhaps. But only in the vein of race relations. I think the people he has sought knowledge from like Bill Ayers are the lamest excuse for a revolutionary. I don't think many people in the Counter-Culture sought violence as a way to change things. Bill Ayers did, and still does. Violence is never the way to solve anything. Only a man would think so. If you do not like America then get the hell out! Only in America would this idiot be allowed to bomb buildings and then decades later be making huge sums of money as a college professor all while being interviewed for magazines proclaiming he is not sorry and pictured stomping on the American flag. You know Bill, try that crap in North Korea or China! No that stupid he aint. But I still say he deserves to be kicked out and forced to live in a socialist country that he so admires. More on Socialism later.
Another Day In Paradise
After spending all my life living in large cities I finally found myself living in a town so small that if a dog pissed in town square it would flood the entire city!
