Virgo: It's time to put a difficult relationship behind you. It's only causing you pain lately, and it's not getting any better - so get better on your own.

...and I remember I was doing nothing the night Jeff Buckley died
I love Jeff Buckley. I have for years. I think that most people who hear him for the first time have the same response.... where have I been???
I remember the first time, and the first song I ever heard, and how impactful it was on me. Last Goodbye... I was 15. I just sort of sat there infront of morpheus, on my family computer in my living room in dundas and thought: who is this? how do i get more?
AND THEN it happens, you find out he is dead! and how he died! and you listen to Grace from start to finish 3 times, and then you get your hands on Sketches, and its over. You are in love. A love that can't ever die, because its hard to get and so rare. Besides Live bootlegs, and then the 4 song eps and the newest So Real record... he only really released one full length before her died... Sketches is so beautiful, but unfinished....
In anycase, your new love for buckley cannot ever be filled because you know he had so much more, and left so little.
And then you slowly find out that there are other buckley lovers out there. The best part of this is that most people who really love Jeff Buckley think they are the only ones in the world who could possibly love him. And that there love is so much greater than everyone elses. I watched a documentary on him once, and Brad Pitt was talking about him like he owned him haha.... i think its a common theme though... he envokes this crazy passion in people... its fairly special.
If you are reading this and do not own a Jeff Buckley cd... go out NOW - RUN - you will be doing youself a favour.
fin!

i'm jealous of your cigarette
I turn into a man when I am sick. Does that translate? For the most part, I have found that when men are sick they revert back to being about 4.5 years old. All they do is sulk, and say 'i am so sick' over and over.
Today... more accuratly, this very evening a flu like sickness has begun to take over. So has two other things.
1) me turning into a 4.5 year old... i just like to say 'oh i am so sick' and 'pay attention to me' over and over and over
2) *and most importantly
COUGH SYRUP!
if any of you know me
really know me
you will know that i like to knock back childrens strength buckleys by the half bottle. It doesn't make you tried becuase its childrens strength... tastes great because its for kids ! and it makes your feel stoned and then if that wasn't enough
it makes you better
viva buckley
on an aside i have a true story.... the girl i drive to school with is from THE buckley's family... she is my lil knight in cough syrup armour.
ohh yeaaah
bbbuuuckllleyyys
viva sick!
horrah!

harder, better, faster, stronger
OHMAHGAWD

I saw daft punk last night. In all honesty I really have very few words besides, I can actually never go to a concert ever again because I just saw the best show of all time.
I really want to go backto 1997 and become a hard raver.... people had glow sticks, it looked like american apparel had thrown up everywhere.... it was glorious!

i wanted to know you when we were both older
I have another random, discombobulated blog.
First... how great is being a vegetarian these days? I became a vegetarian on my own accord when i was 5 years old.. so in about 1989. When I was little NO one knew what a vegetarian was, and if they did, they sort of looked at me like i was an alien. Trying not to stray too much, I am going to attempt to explain a part of Everything Is Illuminated, which is a fantastic movie by the way, but more importantly has a scene that pretty much explains what it was like growing up in the late 80s and early 90s as a vegetarian. My life consisted of conversations, that took place in this movie...
stranger- would you like a hot dog
michelle - no i am a vegetarian
stranger- what?
michelle - oh i just don't eat meat
s- what about chicken?
m- nope no meat
s- fish?
m- nope no meat at all
s- well you must eat some meat, how do you survive
m- i then attempted a witty comeback of sorts but it usually failed because i was oh you know 7.
Back on track now, I was at Ryerson yesterday and hadn't eaten all day, so i decided to stop at a street meat vendor and get some sweet sweet veggie meat. And on my way to class I thought, how great is this? All those years i went to birthday parties, and other peoples houses and everyone thought i was insane. And now you can find veggie options EVERYWHERE. At a young age I got introduced to a lot of Thai, and middle eastern foods because in those days that was the only option for eating out as a vegetarian really. I remember that Harvey's was the first place to come out with a veggie burger but probably 10 years after i had already stopped eating meat. My point is that I never felt 'ripped off' or anything, because I had made the decision to stop eating meat on my own. I never had the urge to eat it at all, even when all my friends were eating burgers at birthday parties, i was happy eating a bun with lettuce and tomatoes... I think its just amazing that a child can grow up and remain under the radar with their food decisions. I don't begrudge the fact that I had to explain myself so often, I am just happy that its way more socially acceptable to leave meat out of your diet these days.
hahaha somehow i feel i should stop writing.... that this blog will go on too long... but i am feeling open and opinionated this morning so here we go.
Do you ever find that you come across the most interesting information in the most inopportune situations. Its like you find out someone said something about you BUT you were hanging out with someone that you weren't suppost to be with.... or reading something you should have not read, or are sworn to secrecy before being given the information. Whatever your personal experience may be, I think we have all been there and it sucks. Its like having the gun but the trigger being jammed... i know that is a terribly violent analogy, but i think it gets the point across. A sub-issue is when someone tells you something and it is SUCH a big deal to you, but to the person that told you its nothing. So you end up feeling stupid for even caring.
Blog readers... michelle the funky homosapien is a weird and unusual person who makes poor decisions most of the time..... she plans on growing out of this awkward self loathing, and self destructive phase as soon as she figures out how to do so.
