Writing of birds and sunshine, of laughing children and healthful living...what with my white background and plain text...this darn blog must seem rather antagonistic to some!
I adore and embrace a wide range of "avant-garde" arts, fashion, and, um, behaviors, shall we say.
But as I have mentioned before, it seems that everywhere you turn, what once was "wild" and intriguing now seems passe. When top-rated network shows like CSI have a semi-regular "alternative lifestyle" character, then you know its all down the toilet!
Well, of course I am only joking!
Perhaps its the change of seasons that makes me eschew my leather, corsets and boots for sundresses, sandals and a smile.
These random thoughts are directed at no one in particular; more to the teen and twentysomething goth kids who blog about, well, all the same stuff, it seems to me. But that's what those years are about; you have barely lived at 21, and at that age anything and everything should be fascintating to you , sometimes to the point of obsession. However, sometimes that mopey, negative, and sometimes aggressive attitude that some of these guys and gals emulate grates on my nerves. Gee, I can't wait until I have a teenager in the house. Argh!
addendum: during my pre-bed-ritual hot bath, I stumbled across a statement that I fell aptly describes my attitudes:
"I pefer that words nurture, and in the end,
I would rather not be the kind of person
I would rather not be the kind of person
who knows how to be withering."
