i have no desire to get out of bed

none at all. i woke up around nine, and here i am, at 12:21pm, lying in bed, blogging, and watching tv.

not sure why i'm wasting all this time. don't really want to get engaged with life as i know it. wanting to go back to school because it's better than this, but not because it's truly where i want to be.

not applying for internships. can't convince myself to do anything or go anywhere. should exercise, go shopping. no desire to spend money i do not have.

i love christina aguilera, though, i have to say. she has come full circle and found meaning and happiness in her life and that just sends me over the moon because it's what i want for myself. i totally identify with and admire her. she's being interviewed on VH1 and I love everything she says; i also love her new album, it has excellent artistic merit and clearly used a lot of imagination and inspiration, with a 1940's-inspired vintage, jazz-and-blues theme. i get such a good vibe just listening to her interview.

i just can't identify with this whole transition from teenagehood to young-20's. i have no idea what that 's like, and i have no idea what it's like to look at someone in their early twenties who is perfectly healthy and knows how that feels, the way christina does. i will never know what that is like.

i also have no desire to look nice anymore, even when i try to force myself. i miss that, and don't know where it went.

We Are Human

it's how we deal with it that matters. had a long talk over lunch with misrak about racism. she has a lot to say, and a lot to deal with. she talked about the appalling attitude of a woman she recently worked with. it's very eye-opening to hear "the other side of the story," i.e. a person of color talking about being on the receiving end of racism. it's heartbreaking and horrifying, and an education in itself. lots of work remains to be done.

The Clear Light of Day

my mom helped me put a piece of the puzzle into place today. it's all about clarity; and the more clearly i see it for what it really is, the more able i am to let go of it. we had talked about abuse and repeating behavior patterns, etc., and agreed that we were both committed to doing things differently. the abuse began to sneak in, though, and i can see that sh*t coming a mile away and knew exactly what it was when it hit. and, i didn't believe it. in retrospect, that's what it was. a kink in her operating system she wasn't dealing with. automatic danger. it's one thing if folks are prepared to deal with all of their stuff, but if they're in denial about anything, it's just going to get larger and larger until something is done. it was always going to go in just one direction. the signs were there. there really is such a thing as "too good to be true." if that's "too good to be true," then what's the real deal? where

Trimming the Fat

weeding through my entire blog--there are almost 1400 posts! quality over quantity; getting rid of stuff that seems irrelevent or misplaced or superfluous or otherwise dissatisfactory. saw a great documentary on the History Channel today about Hitler's family. turns out there are still a few living in the US! they've also had a good series on the SS, but, most importantly, tomorrow night they start the entire " Band of Brothers " series! i never tire of watching it. literally! i'm 15 pounds lighter with muscle to boot. can't believe it. cutting sugar and flour really works. started bob tonight, just love it. i'd like to get the soundtrack. dentist on friday. i'd like to get my blog to about 1000 posts. quite time consuming. turning in is the answer, not out. growth, expansion, new life. it's about time. i am so stale, and i can hardly breathe in here. the window hasn't been open for ages, and i cannot feel fresh air on my face or see the out
