I went to the "Floetry" concert last night. And yeah I put that shit in quotations for a reason, cause um the floacist was missing. Instead she was sharing the stage with Amanda The Diva (some of you ATL folks know who that is). At best she was - distracting. No real synergy between them, so the vibe was slippery. All night I was like "aw man." Kicking rocks and shit.
So yeah Marsha I love you and all...but damn. You with no Natalie is like En Vogue with no Dawn - a bust. Welllll...on stage at least. Cause I am DAMN ready for that solo album!
LOL. So two-faced.
P.S. - Emily King effing rocked!! I digs her voice and there's nothing like an awesome live performer. (Can't hide behind all that studio trickery!)
There was a gay couple sitting in the row in front of us. My best friend's nephew goes on for a hot minute railing about how has society crumbled in such a way that we would "allow" such a thing to take place in public. And here I was thinking it was evolution! I kept silent though...I mean really what's the point in persuading someone they need to widen their perception to something more than pencil-width? Waste of my breath is what it is.
Later he says the equivalent of - "Well yes I fornicate and stuff, but homosexuality is an ABOMINATION!" Oh, but he's not judging. He's just offering his view of things in hopes that they'll come around to the "truth." Heh. Gotta love them Christians. Clearly being one gives the Christed being some special dispensation to create a hierarchy of sin and shit.
But what is the truth though? I've studied different religions for years now looking for something that felt "right" for me. Now I study because I am fascinated with the depth and breadth of the human imagination. All these stories of creation and higher beings to explain what is surely an unknowable truth whilst we inhabit these human bodies. To know ALL THAT IS would be akin to having 20 programs running on 64k of RAM.
In Windows 98.
So I'm not understanding what the deal is with the condescending, knowitall vibe of churchy people. Yes I get the need to commune with other like-minded individuals. But are they attending to their minds...or just letting them be filled with largely useless rhetoric that was written a whole lot of years ago? The Bible is in and of itself a study in contradiction but the MINUTE I wanna point that out I get harangued. Even when not spoken, people emit this vibe of "ut oh you're going to hell because you're QUESTIONING." Meanwhile, back at the ranch they're STEADY fucking up; thinking their salvation is set because they paid their tithes this month.
So honestly, I have no idea who's going to come out on top in this "war" of consciousness...shit I could very well be the "heathen" they've been directed to smote by any means necessary.
Too bad for them...I'm unassailable.
