Janis Joplin

I just seen an article that said Lindsey Lohan may be playing Janis, WTF! I think you need someone to play Janis that is a lot more humble, she was an average girl and that is exactly the way she liked it. I don't think she would approve at all about Lindsey playing her.
I know we have no way of knowing...I don't think she can pull it off, I think they are making a mistake if they pick her, in my opinion.
Whoever they get needs to be really in touch with their feelings, really run on emotion and not be afraid to let it show.
I think they should pick Nikka Costa, from her looks anyways I think she would make the best one.

Well today I spent my whole day with a toothache, I have never had good teeth in the first place so you would think I'd be used to it, right? I also spent the whole day listening to Michael Jackson and Janis Joplin, I love both of them both were geniuses in their own right. Please don't give me grief, i am not comparing them, just saying I think they were both great. To bad Janis died at 28 I think, way to young, guess that is what heroin does for you.

19th year

That's how long it would have been had I been able to stay married. I still, even after being separated for 4 years, still love her to the point that I can't be with anyone else. when will I be able to be with another. I still cry over her, I still think about her almost continuously.

She told me today she was sorry for messing up our lives, she didn't it just happened, it didn't work out. I would marry her all over again, without hesitation, even if I knew it was going to turn out the same way.
Despite everything Teresa...I love you.

Natural hair

Well it has been almost a month since have used shampoo on my hair, I have dyed it though, I am sure that defeats the purpose of the whole thing, but I can't stand the thought of all that grey.

But anyways about the shampoo, i don't miss it at all, the course I am taking now seems to be working, so I am sticking with it. I also have a conditioner used for African Americans which I thought was pretty natural, well once I started reading the ingredients I found that not to be the case, so for conditioning I think I am going to stick with the olive oil and egg, worked real good. I am also considering buying chamomile to put with the mixture, rosemary, lavender...something.

Another dream

Hi all, i had another dream again about my best friend. I think I posted on it in my blog before but can't remember, so I will write about both here.

My first dream was the one the caused me the most problems, Trina is a very good friend and I want her to see me as a friend, a girlfriend and nothing else. I had a dream that we were intimate together. Well when I awoke I was very disturbed, I cried and wrote it down. I had never thought I looked at her that way, ever since I have never told her and am very sad by it was well.
I just had another one a couple of days ago, not near the level as the last one... I kissed her... on the lips.
To me this ruins my whole thinking, I want to be trusted and not betray her friendship and have her look at me differently.
I just want to be a friend!

Trans-family of Cleveland

Went to the trans-family of Cleveland yesterday, I love it there, tons of support and friends. If anyone is interested please ask or google them. It is really great to be with people that truly care about you. I am very thankful for them.
They can give you all sorts of info and are always willing to talk to you.

Well, I put my vacation in for the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival in August, if I don't get it I will take off anyways. I have been trying to get some friends from here to go but I don't think they all want to dedicate a weeks vacation towards it. I can't blame them I guess, but I think it is going to be loads of fun. I am not sure if I will go for the whole week or not, I would be happy with a couple of days, 3 or so.
My no poo experiment I am still unsure about, they said it would look bad at first, but argh..

I have been thus far undecided about who to vote for but I have made my decision, I have thought for many months about this, it is not something I take lightly.

Queer Collection 2008

Well I know it isn't that big of a deal but I have a poem in the 2008 addition of Queer collection.
It is the poem I titled Angel, it was one I didn't really expect to get in, kind of like the one that was accepted last year, never can tell, lol.

Angel

Sliding into a knee length denim skirt

Pink top covering small breasts

Painted eyes, painted lips

Hair laying in curls

Ready for the night

----------------------------------------------------

Looking in the mirror

Seeing an angel

Turning around and looking at the back

Making sure everything is in place

Posing and primping

Everything has to be perfect

The night with friends is at hand

----------------------------------------------------------

Despite what it seems

Clothes and make up can’t change

Outwardly the parts are still there

Inwardly, is the girl wanting out

Acceptance is the key
