Smile, it’s just a theory!
I think all happiness depends on having the energy to assume the mask of some other self, that all joyous or creative life is a rebirth as something not oneself, something created in a moment and perpetually renewed in playing a game like that of a child where one loses the infinite pain of self-realization, a grotesque or solemn painted face put on that one may hide from the terrors of judgement, an imaginative Saturnalia that makes one forget reality. Perhaps all the sins and energies of the world are but the world’s flight from an infinite blinding beam. -Yeats

My Head is My Only House Unless it Rains
Captain Beefhart
“What do I want, wanting to know the other?” What would happen if I decided to define you as a force and not as a person? And If I were to situate myself as another force confronting yours? This would happen: my other would be defined solely by the suffering or the pleasure he affords me.”
-Roland Barthes, “A Lover’s Discourse”

This song is similar-yet-different to my song “Change Your Mind” which I posted back on 7/27/12. Thought I’d throw it up too- Feat. Gabe Noel and Jeremy Gara.
In case you still haven’t heard.

Anonymous asked: reading the lyrics, i've grown even more excited for the album! it's like you gave the advice before i even asked the question. so, this is just a confession i guess. i have a hard time getting over past loves. the bee gees have a lyric that's like, "too many lovers in one lifetime ain't good for you." i feel like i've already had too many, even though i can count them on one hand.
I pretty much regret everyone I’ve ever been with… My hindsight in that regard is 20/20- meaning, I can see my past mistakes with perfect vision. I’d say be pickier- just say “no” until you feel something is really really real! This way you won’t accumulate bad memories! Nor heartache! And you will have more self-respect and integrity when the right person comes along. I love the Bee Gees! Have you heard that song “Please Read Me”? It’s from their earlier days. And Nina Simone does an incredible version too! xoxo
