My smile is a highway fatality that
occurs every time you drive.
And, if falling for you is an accident
then, I want to know there’s no purpose,
that there’s no reason for the reasonable.
You are a jig-saw logic.
Nothing this good should make sense.
Nothing this good should come easy.
Nothing this good should cost less than losing the dream.
Nothing this good can last forever,
even Rome fell.
But,
if I were to build a doomed empire,
it would be with you.
The soldiers of my heart would gladly fight a hopeless battle,
if you’re the one raising the sword.
When people say life is not fair,
(as if we all expected carnival rides and cotton candy)
they are talking about the giggling moments we share at bedtime.
Our laughter gives birth to envy
because, in that moment, Camelot exists
and fairytales do come true.

I first saw Mindy when she opened for Derrick Brown at the Gypsy Den in Tustin. She was awesome. She gave me faith in OC girls. I think she is by far the most talented female slam poet out there. My favorites are not on her website, but I do like this one (a lot).

In Like Flint knows how to rock ROCK band
I was lucky enough to get invited to my friend’s Christmas Party. This Christmas party by far out did any Christmas party I have been too. There was fake gambling, free booze and more importantly, there was a Rockband Competition.
I had the great pleasure of watching my friend’s Crystal, Dave and Shawn rock out and win! With the band name of In Like Flint, how could you go wrong? Their costumes were amazing! Katie, Sean’s Fiancé, made pants that were worthy of Burning Man envy. They were yellow with at least 50 stuffed animals sewn on. Add that to the yellow boa and curly yellow froed wig and he was Big Bird on Speed with a mean guitar! Crystal, looked amazing and incredibly HOT with a big Japanese-style wig, red glasses and the elegant touch of a matching red umbrella! Dave – showed his chest off in wonderful drummer style. Dani California never sounded or looked so good! (BTW, I got a 100% singing this song on Medium!)
By the end of the night, I was singing and performing on stage with Hole’s Celebrity Skin! The game is addicting and so much fun. What a wonderful evening. I just wish I didn’t have to start work at 7 am the next day.
PS. Attending a party like this made my company’s party of dancing bobble heads and caricaturists especially lame.
Crystal and I before the show
My boyfriend (and Dizzy site creator) got my dog a look-a-like stuffed dog last night. Here are photos documenting the death and destruction of a stuffed animal.
My puppy - give it to me!
The Destruction Begins
I will end you…
The morning after — the carnage
