It's Not Personal


The common and convenient catch phrase of the "Haves" ( those in a position of having power however minute) at my job seems to be..."Oh, it's not personal... Don't take it personally".

Yeah, but when people are fuckin' with your Franklins --What can be more personal?

Besides, it's only your livelihood.

No, it's not personal. It's just plain wrong.

Myspace and "Me"



There have been a few people that wanted to meet me from myspace and they wondered which picture in my profile was mine. No big deal, I love meeting new people especially fellow artists.

I never cared to label my picture as "Me" because... I'm not sure why... although maybe it was because deep down inside I was afraid of being rejected.

With my writing especially I want people to grasps the content of who I am as a person through my mind and not to care what I look like.

When I informed my inquirers as to which I was, they most all mysteriously went away. Which is strange that they seemed to find me more interesting before they knew what I looked like or so it appeared. They were all men; Not to male bash but what am I to think?

I don't know why but I seem to scare people. I always have and perhaps always will. Perhaps scare is too strong of a word... I don't put people at ease and for some strange reason.

Looking at it this way does gives me a bit of solace..."these people probably did me a favor because if you're afraid from just my picture then be very afraid". Besides that I absolutely abhor cowards.

I'm tall, opinionated--I've been told sadly since I was a little girl that I was intimidating. Playing stupid and small so people would like me better and to put them more at ease didn't make me the successful, most well liked person that I thought that it would. It was at near detriment to myself esteem, so I stopped. Although I think it did make me a better actress, definitely I'm a stronger person because of it. I drive a muscle car and in addition to that I'm with the wonderful Mick Dixon anyway.

I'm a really cool person who's worth knowing but it still hurts. It's a slow burn of a hurt that really bugs me deep down inside.

Life is funny...
It has a way of ultimately bring us to the thing we are most trying to avoid.
It's that way for me, anyway.

Beauty is so much more than skin deep.

Often times using equipment from Western news agencies, and that the resulting footage is sent on to those agencies for international consumption.

This is an email that I received from one of our loyal readers that never leaves comments but who doesn't hesitate to ask us for help.

Oh hell, we love you anyway.

I get a little touchy when it comes to people in the service industry not being treated right because without them we'd all be in a cafeteria queue.
