Serious Times Call for Fabulous Measures
December 21, 2005
8 more annotations...
- Every week we seem to be reeling from another hurricane, a 6.5 earthquake, or a terrorist attack, but it's still important to
- make time for the fabulous
- Fabulousness shouldn't be confused with merely being trendy
- once something has become trendy, it's fabulousness decreases considerably
- the truly fabulous need no excuse
- the canned goods aisle in Safeway. However, I find that I need a little more motivation than that
- Being fabulous and outrageous provides a release from the humdrum elements of everyday existence, from the pervasive and depressing violence that seems to be enveloping the world
- For a couple of hours you aren't an overworked paper pusher, or a starving retail hack, but whatever fabulous creature you've chosen to imagine yourself as

Journey To A Sex Club
August 31, 2005
15 more annotations...
- I had heard of the Power Exchange before and regarded the prospect of going with equal parts curiosity and apprehension.
- I had some vision with dark sexy people wearing leather, latex, chains, and extremely stylized hair
  - the hair alone keeps me from going in the doors of some 'normal' pubs - on 2009-11-01
  Add Sticky Note
- preening and pawing each other
- I was sure there would be smoke crawling over the floors, and naked couples lounging on leather couches enjoying each other or watching others, while Bauhaus and Marilyn Manson songs drifted out of the speakers. The hosts and hostesses would all be wearing vinyl hot pants and have whips as they strutted around the club keeping watch on all the festivities.
- In reality
- Women and men with barely combed hair wearing jeans and athletic jerseys
- Most people were fully clothed, which was a blessing because no one looked particularly attractive
- surprisingly un-titillating
- they didn't seem to be very excited about the position they found themselves in
- doing philosophy homework
- not very engrossed
- kind of repetitive. Real sex, unlike movie sex, isn't really a spectator sport
- I was surprised about how un-sexy the whole experience was
- sex seemed routine and mechanical
- an atmosphere with spontaneity and excitement - the two most interesting components of sex

Rick James: Not Just Funky But Good For You

- August 10, 2005
- the importance of breaking the rules
- bobbing his head to the music that blared from his mini c.d. player.
  
  I knew I'd heard those funky guitar driven rifts before. "Is that Rick James?"
- "This is a PERFECT Rick James day," I told him.
- a slow grin
- Everyone on the bus sat bobbing their heads to the music, enjoying the songs and the sun's warmth
- the essence of summer distilled, heat, sex, and self-abandonment
- shouted in a whiny nasal voice, "Can you turn your radio off?"
- This thoroughly unmusical interloper was trying to ruin my perfect Rick James day by messing with the vibe and stopping the funk. I couldn't hold my tongue.
- "Playing music on the bus is against the rules," he said.
- "Just because he's black doesn't mean he can break the rules."
- "What? Did he just say, 'Just because he's black doesn't mean he can break the rules?'"
  
  The two high school age girls sitting across from me nodded in affirmation.
- "I'm not breaking the rules," the young man said. "I'm just bending them."
- "Just follow the rules!" the man shouted.
- Everyone on the bus began laughing.
- push boundaries and go cause mischief
- a celebration of the individual
- do as she pleases with whom she pleases
- not be uptight
- go with the flow
- not only break rules but make their own
- we are still thinking active beings
- challenge the system
- test the usefulness or arbitrariness of its rules
- Breaking the rules is necessary because it reminds us that we're not just a cog in the works
- we, the masses, are unpredictable, a force to be respected like a large body of water or a thunderstorm
- We are all super freak accidents waiting to happen.
