mind over matter……..

i don’t usually “blog.” i feel its weird, its even a weird word, sounds like internet poop, but well……..heres some shit thats on my mind, so…
i am just disheartened lately by the hatred people carry around. it really amazes me, it really makes me want to stay indoors a lot. i just don’t understand why people jump to bully anyone. its so mean. i was bullied in high school, i was often terrified to go back. i know its weird to link this to lana del rey, and her snl performance this weekend, but to me its very troubling to read so much hatred, so many “tweets” about it. so you, sitting in your gross chair at home in your underwear are gonna bash someone for being in the spotlight- when its so obvious they have worked hard to get there? REALLY? i even read that perez hilton (you know the guy that sits in a cafe all day and copies and pastes news stories to his website?) said ms. del rey had no stage presence. WHAT THE FUCK IS STAGE PRESENCE TO PEREZ HILTON? HE SITS IN A CHAIR ALL DAY…………are we so brainwashed by all the crappy “music” that’s been circulating the universe for the last decade that we have forgotten what soulful music sounds like? what it means to just be able to stand on a stage and captivate someone with something so haunting and beautiful that we now define it as boring? i hear “blue jeans” and feel like i’m in a “bonnie and clyde” movie scene. makes sense, bc with all the hate going on these days, i surely feel like i should be on the run from it all. i just ask that please, for those of you who are unfamiliar with this performer’s work – and there are tons TONS of songs she has done – check her out before believing a mindless little dismissive tweet about her. that’s all. for now.
