u just can't win

There's an old song by the J. Geils Band called Love Stinks
that has lyrics that ring so true with so many:

You love her
But she loves him
And he loves somebody else
You just can't win 

Yeah, Yeah...Love Stinks.


I was having a little barbershop conversation earlier, and I've learned a lot in my years of cutting hair and pouring drinks and livin' this life...u just can't win.  Why is that?  Why is it that it is so difficult to find reciprocated love?  There always seems to be such an imbalance.

He loves him, but he wants a girl...but he doesn't really know how to talk to girls.  And the girl who adores him just happens to be in a man's body.  "You can't help who you love" he says.

And then there's him...him who loves him, but that him is married to a her.  I'm sure he loves her, but.  That brings in the question...Why is it that someone can love someone enough to marry them, to spend days and nights with them, but feels passion for someone else?

I wonder...Are men incapable of combining lust and love?  Do they confuse lust with love?  I read something not long ago about the male brain, how if it feels compassion for say a woman, then its desire nodes don't light up...and if it feels desire, the compassion leaves the brain.  whoa.  how's that for core differences?  Of course the scientific journal worded it with greater precision, I'm just giving u the summary.

Then there's her, who is a him, who loves her, but she loves him who is a her.  Follow me?  This isn't as simple as gender differences.  Male/Female yadda yadda blah blah.  I'm talkin' 'bout love here.  It really doesn't matter how someone identifies themselves.  What matters to me is.......

WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO FIND RECIPROCATED LOVE?

I want the kind where you feel both passion AND compassion mutually!

Nature must have some sort of hand in this.  But shit damn!  I want the Romeo to my Juliet AND the Juliet to my Romeo in one package!  You Dig?

Damn.

500 years later and you ask me "Why the sad face?"

Cemetery Angels

I have a passion for cemeteries.  I don't know if it's because I feel connected to some of the lost souls, or if I feel like a ghost, or if they assure me that I'm alive?  An Internet friend pinned this pic on Pinterest:

I love it!  I love how she is reclined...how the mood is melancholy...how she doesn't appear awfully mournful, but almost simply Resting In Peace.


I have 2 angels in GR that I love to photograph--one in particular is my fav, and I feel some sort of spiritual connection to her.  I have used her image in various artworks.

This might be one of the 1st shots I took of her with b&w film:

Here's a painting I did "Resurrection" with color film photography (the feet are from a statue of Jesus in a different cemetery):

Here's pic I took in October, 2011...she has become more tarnished.  :(  I wish I could clean her/revive her/keep her alive.

girl's just gotta have fun

I've been gradually adding photos to my asos marketplace site to recycle some fashionable outfits.  I'll create a Fashion album for my FB page soon.  If nothing sells, at least I've given it a shot.  The photos might serve a purpose toward my photography career or legacy--who knows?  Whatever the case, I do what I do, cuz a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta to do!  haha  But...sometimes...a girl just wants to have fun!  So these were just me having fun with a few of the shots.  Maybe I'll play with more of them too, and they'll take on their own life n character aside from ol' asos.

Photo shoot with Krissy Dreamflower

Did another fashion shoot today for my asos site, tho nothing I've posted so far has sold. I'm not sure if my goods get seen on there, or if shipping costs hinder the out of country folks from buying? I still have photos from my prior two shoots to post too, but just adding a few at a time hoping to get noticed in the Just In section. It reached 50 degrees F here today! It was windy, but her wind blown hair looks great in the pix!

It was fun to spend time with her, and we went to Gaia after for some fabu vegetarian eats. Wishing I woulda brought home a Gaia cookie right now!

Hot topic

No...not the store...but an actual, exciting, current events topic....gimme one to write about for my blog.

Should I have a weekly hot topic?
Give free advice-be like a life couch/spirit guide? Or, like Sex and the City and share relationship ponderings? Interviews with artists?
