You also tend to pick your words carefully, and you don't bother using overly expressive terms, flowery words, or bloating your comments to get your point across. It's normally short, sweet, and razor sharp. I do wish you'd bury your feelings deep deep down inside though--it's the only way to obtain any happiness in this world He's such an ass | |

However, I've come to realize that more and more, there are a lot of folks who , through various pre-judgements, etc. etc., hear me or read my words through a looking glass of sorts that distorts their perceptions of what I intended by my comments. On the flip side, I've receive several orgnotes from folks for instances where I haven't said anything. Apparently , when I don't respond to somebody's posts, or click their threads, or correspond with them, I have a problem with them? My feelings and intentions can be misunderstood--generally, I view this with a bit of humor. That reminds me...what the HECK am I supposed to serve with Green Curry, gatdamit!?!

I wanna make it on Wenedsday for my peeps! . If you have springroll wrappers, you can role a banana (sliced down the middle) in it, deep fry it, and serve it drizzled with honey and ice cream. Or mangoes on tope of sticky rice that's been soaking in coconut milk and sugar (to taste). Thai deserts can be pretty simple--and curry demands something sweet accompany it. Also,: Prince, Anal Stimulation, Oral Sex, and Digestion. Genre bending. Innovative. Controversial. And overall absolute genius, Prince can take anything .. I mean anything!!!! and express it with equal parts eloquence and shocking vulgarity. Prince has never been one to shy away from controversy. Obviously, this whole lawsuit business lately is proof of that. Even if he's stopped cursing, and singing about having sex with virgins who are on the rag, he still knows how to stir stuff up. But there was a time when his music was what ilicited all the responses. When it spoke for itself. No need for wearing assless pants, no need to make outlandish statements on magazines and other means--you could just get it from a record. But one thing that always struck me was that Prince juxtaposed all manner of subjects, otherwise blush worthy to any other musician, effortlessly and with no sense of shame or embarassment whatsoever. It was like he pulled his nuts out of his silky lace panties and said, "Look bitches--check these hairy bad boys out. I may strut around in lace women's underwear, but I overflow with machismo!"...then boomerang his pumps at cha. Anyways, sex, love, and spirituality -- these things are always pitted against each other in strange dualistic battles on his albums. but when viewed from afar, Prince is actually treating all these as one continuam. They are just different colors of his passion. He went from one end to the other with his songs. Speaking of the other end, one of the things he seems to have an obsession with is the female hind quarters--perhaps even male, but that's always up for debate. But you always hear him talking about "ass" but never what he wants to do with it. It's as if he's not totally confortable with that region of the human body. One could probably reckon that this was due to some repressed latent homosexual fantasy that was surfacing but being stiffled before it could shine in all its glory, but I propose that Prince was probably just revealing how hygenic and sometimes prissy he could be. The anus, after all, is more difficult to keep clean than vaginas and penises. Sure, Prince could easily say "I sincerely want to fuck the taste out of your mouth", but you'd never catch him say "I sincerely want to slush the poop in your ass with my dick"--There's a line that even Prince wont cross, especially if it involves hygiene. His obsession with hygiene is apparent in his interview with Oprah Winfrey. When she asked him if he always dressed nice, he replied, "On a normal day I'm clean". Now obviously, he's being hip with lingo here, cause being "clean" also means to look sharp, but let's not kid ourselves here--Prince loves double meaning. He obviously means that on a normal day he keeps his ass fresh. But if you think about it, the asshole or anus is just the other opening of a very long tube leading to your mouth. And in between there's digestion. Digestion of the words, the ideas, the very visualizations that flow throughout his work. Even when he says "Dont hate me cause Im beautiful", he says it like he's got food in his mouth. He goes further in that very same song (Pretty man) and says "Maceo--can U blow?" , which again HAS A DOUBLE MEANING! Always with the double meaning. But you can also hear this in many many songs. In Poom Poom Poom, he sings the chorus as if he's taking a massive dump, and he even does the Poom Poom rap like he's chewing on something. Its as if ALL bodily functions are not sacred to Prince. They're all worthy of expression. And express he does. It was said once in some magazine that where Marvin Gaye cracked the bedroom door open a wee bit with "Let's Get it On", Prince tore that bitch off it's hinges | |

ZombieKitten said: Byron said: the trouble I've run into with this issue, is confiding in other people instead and forming attachments Oh, I found it next to impossible to confide in people for the longest time (and again, still do to a certain extent)...it was much easier to just let others confide in me instead. I don't like letting myself feel that vulnerable to confide in others only to have them act as if they weren't listening. Been thru that too many times to want to relive it... | |

My mum was afraid of having a close friend, because that would mean an exchange of confidences, and she knew once she let it out it would ALL come out, and always felt it was disloyal to my dad to air grievances, but she really needed to get it off her chest | |
