There Be A Reason

I beg you, do not require the gray cells to work overly hard when you wonder why I am so. It is the small moments. The simple things. Thank you Jeff Sonhouse. I give the impetus name. I seldom forget any that bring reason to the insanity many claim exist. Dare I love, for I am often forsaken. Best I not speak, when more often than not are my words misinterpreted, skewed, destroyed, warped and yet again belittled.
 I am entering a new numbness phase after having again being shown that it makes no sense to let any past the defenses.
All that are left to me is words. Know that they belong to me. These words are forever mine.

Beware the coming apathy..
& let them hate... so long as they fear.

Throwing Hints From Afar



Ok. So it's kind of odd when someone says something totally out of the blue that blows your mind. I was sitting at the job one day and one of the guys there quoted an earlier post I had written about my exbroinlaw. I had no idea people that actually know me in real life read my personal blog. Even though I'm still working through feeling like I got kicked in the gut, I always feel better and crack a smile when I remember the fact that someone knows that I'm more than an aggressive, sarcastic, belligerent, iwillkickyouintheshinsassoonaslookatyou, half-mad lush. So this one is for you... even though I get hit on more times in that place than Pumpkin plays that damn song, I do notice you... and I wouldn't mind a cup of tea one day... and a ride on the bike... and a tiara.

seriously.

Recovery

I failed the challenge having been thrown for a loop. One question knocked me off kilter to the point that I could not find my stride. Funny thing, feelings. I know there was no intent to harm. I can only blame myself for feeling the way I did. I cannot be angry that there was no reciprocity. I must admit that it always hurts to discover that someone you care deeply for, doesn't care at all. I'm not used to anyone I know being so very devoid of feeling. I have yet to become accostomed to those who don't know how deep the rabbit hole goes and the intensity of my capacity to vibrate to their rythms.

However, all it takes is one shining moment. When you walk into a room and he can't take his eyes off you. When the desire to be near you supercedes all rational thought. When the last words you read before you sleep are "you are so beautiful" and you know it's not the outside that he refers to, this makes a wonderful balm. It goes a long way to soothing a blistered heart.

Mom was right, it's not always who you want, sometimes it's who wants you that makes all the difference in a day. I didn't wake up with the sick sense of loss I've been feeling for weeks. Instead I woke with a smile.

Post Apocolyptic

I am the queen of awkward. I would go into detail but its too painful. It is never easy to realize how deeply you care for someone until you have to walk away. Especially if you left something behind. I hate going back for shit. There's always that gut wrenching moment when the back gets turned. I'm never good at that so I tend to keep walking when I go. Ah, I'm so damn emo.

On a lighter note, Thanksgiving is coming. Now don't get me wrong, I don't believe in celebrating genocide but I am happy that it gives me an excuse to see my mousie, the sister and the princess. 

Ok. That's it. I'm out.

Feline Mortality...

Or Curiosity Sucks... pick a title...

Generally its good to know what the hell is going on with everything around you. Other times its best to mind your damn business. But not me. No sir. I have a strange need to know. Seems I find no comfort in the dark, so I constantly seek the light, no matter how harsh and glaring it is. This gets me into enough trouble that it begins to make me wonder why I just don't mind my neck when I know I won't like what I find.

The short version? I had a plan to make a move that should have brought me some measure of satiation. When the plan didn't come to fruition, I felt the old familiar itch. My gut told me there was more to the all than met the eye. This prompted me to ask a question.

Funny thing, questions. More often than not, in certain situations, if you're asking you already know the answer. I'm not sure if the need for confirmation that you're correct is just your subconscious's way of feeding your ego's desire to be seen as irrefutably spot-on. Dammit. I hate it when I'm right. And I was.

So right, that when the answer was received, my heart folded up painfully within my chest. I stared at the response until my eyes blurred, hoping that the lack of optical focus due to a prism of tears would change what I saw. Hope. It tends to fuck people for cheap.

Well, there it was. I found what I sought, as bitter as it tasted to my mind. Not much to do now but be the adult I claim to be. When one has a mind to build a house, one does not choose a plot of land where construction is already being done by another. While I may not be sure if I am going to erect an abode where I stand, I am most assuredly not one to choose a place that is occupied... not even by squatters.

I have debated the wisdom of my query. Mostly because of hope. Hope that I had the option to build, rather than occupy for a spell. Would I have rather wandered the acres blindly? As much as I wish it were true that ignorance is bliss, for me it is not. There be nothing worse for me than coming into the know when it is too late to extract myself from the dance.

Verily I say unto thee: I wish I hadn't fucking asked, and the smaller part of me knows this to be true. But the larger is thankful that I have once again become the questioning kind. The truth sets me free, albeit painfully. So I will apply balm to the soul. I will leave off the dance. I will allow the heartsickness to heal. And I will be happy that I'm me.

M,
Gonna mind her business for a spell...

38 And Counting...

If it were at all possible to actually post pictures of people next to their descriptors, my face would be next to slacker in the world of Merriam-Webster. I make looking busy while doing fuckall, an art form. I always feel so pressed upon but sometimes accomplish so very little. I was just challenged by Daowouhd to go 38 days at full throttle. I accepted the challenge. The deal is I have to write at least 3 sentences about my day within 24 hours of each post, chronicling what I feel I've accomplished all day. It's a good thing I know that Wouhd loves me like no other because if not, I'd swear he were trying to introduce me to self torture.

So here's the nutshell version  first post:

*I spent 40 minutes chatting with Wouhd. It would have been better if I had a cam on this hunk of junk (let me not push it because ol betsy windows 7 will crash for pure spite). I really do love that guy. If he hadn't moved back to Japan, I'd probably be Mrs. Yamahiro by now. Alas, everything that can happen, will. Fucking Murphy. Anyway, the challenge is to give more than my normal 80% for 38 days. One day for each year of my life. They say if you repeat anything enough it becomes a habit. Wouhd thinks this will foster better habits in me. Cross your fingers and pray for the M.

*Friends have been dropping like tse tse flies. One of my best friends is mad at me because I fucked up and wasn't on point when she was putting herself out of her way to help me. I gotta figure out a way to apologize since I am the suck. One of them I let go because I was making her unhappy and it was about to get real. Another I cut off since he was being a mega douche and I'm too old for the fuckery. I was thinking about how much I missed them and how deeply it hurt me when I saw this:

It applies (Mo being the only exception) so I guess that covers that. I'm done dealing with shit or people that make me unhappy. I was always one of those people that would maintain communication with folks that are toxic out of sheer loyalty. Don't get me wrong, if I barely know you, you're fucked 10 ways til Sunday. I have NO problem cussing that ass out. However, if I care for someone and know them for some time, I will put up with ALL KINDS of pure shit. I've run out of toilet paper. No more shit for me.

*I'm going to spend Thanksgiving with my sister and two nieces. I can't wait to see the princess and my mouse. WIN!

*I've been hanging out with a friend that I've known for a few years and it's rather odd. It seems to me that people fall for each other in direct correlation to the time they spend together. I'm no different. I really dig dude. Always have. Never pushed the issue though. Friendships always last longer than relationships in my world. But holy shit I'd so go there... Good thing he's never been interested in me that way or it would seriously complicate my life.

*My gentleman friend has been sickly. It makes me afraid to age. It seems so damned complicated and sickening. Also it doesn't look like much fun. No wonder he has me around, without me he'd die from normalcy. I may be crazy but I'm never boring.

*I'm waiting patiently to start working regularly. The holdup is happening because my boss is in transition. The job is perfect though. I love music and nightlife so this is going to be epic. Still, until things settle down, I'm broker than the 10 commandments. My mom wants me to get a traditional job, I feel bile rise in my throat every time I think about conforming. Granted, I could hustle my writing a little harder (hence the 38 day challenge), but a 9-5 would kill me dead. Mostly I've been eking by and tending bar at a speak-easy. I won't lie, slinging drinks at a hush-hush is loads of fun if you can handle the hours. The only problem is my tendency to hang out after work, thereby nullifying the whole point of working in the first place.

*I constantly complain about the time I do not have to share with people and the truth is: I just don't want to go any damn where. I'm one of those if-I-think-about-it-it-won't-happen lazy fuckers. For instance: go to Brooklyn for a photo shoot? You're out of your gourd. But the hour I spent thinking about how much I don't want to travel to Brooklyn, I would have seen me half way there. Let's not forget I've been to Brooklyn for shittier reasons than to have an amazing photographer take pictures of me. Go fucking figure.

*Speaking of amazing photographers, one of them actually does want to shoot me. I'm all for it except I'm all shy and awkward on the low. Seriously. Academically, I know I'm one sexy motherfucker. Internally, I'm just M from the block. A nice, no where near normal, gal from around the way that will cuss you out and give you love in the same breath. It weirds me out (and always has) when people want to capture me in picture form. They shoot gorgeous/artistic/anorexic/insanely tall women... I don't fit in... but hey, if I keep getting the requests everybody can't be wrong.

*Married men and men with girlfriends really need to stay away from me. Rub me the wrong way and I will blow your spot up. Then when your woman hands you your ass on a plate don't get mad at me. No one told you to go hunting outside of your territory. The M is good for the BOOM!

*I just found out last night that someone I thought was hella attractive thought I was attractive too. Whodathunkit?!

*An ex wants me back. For the long haul. There's got to be something in the water because old time somethings are falling all up out the insulation. I mean it. Some are a breath of Frsh Aire. Others stink like old yak milk. As for this particular ex, I dunno. Popping back into my life is nuts... We broke up for a reason. Those reasons probably still exist. However, you never know. At least when I come to a lake I dip my toe in the water before I decide to swim. He wasn't a total douche, maybe there's less algae in the water now... or maybe there's more. Only time will tell.

*I am single. I have made no solid commitment to anyone. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a serial monogamist who is deeply in love (especially with love), but I'm not seeing anyone who can stop me from dating anyone else. I am ok with it. Normally, I'm used to being in a relationship, whether it be months or years. I've been single for over a year now. I was beginning to get that weird woman itch. You know the one that says something must be wrong with you if a man doesn't want to forsake all others for you. Every chick gets that dumb ass itch at some point. Then I realized that being single gives me the opportunity to avoid getting hurt. I can take my time and have fun. Also I can do what the fuck I want. When I want. So help me sweet rotund Buddha. It's gonna take a special man to lock me down. Amen.

*I have severe insomnia. It's making me crazier than I already am. That's a terrifying thought, ain't it? With that said, I'm going to lay it down and try to catch an hour or two. I have an actual fuckton of errands to run today if I am to win this 38 day challenge. Thank you Yamahiro. I love you.

Oh yeah:
you know you're fucking jealous... Raye 6

Here's the pertinent points:

*I am once again mobile. There shalt be more posting.
*I'm also quite possibly falling madly in love with a man I was in love with before... Life is so good.
*The clone is learning to navigate the city. She loves her school and is making friends. The adjustment continues.
*My boss rocks. Literally.

There's more but I'm about to inhale some frsh aire... be back...

Bk... They Go Hard... Pt I

I'm tickity tacking from the comfort of a bar stool down the street from my house. What you guys didn't know about me is that I'm a brain surgeon. I left the house for work today without my keys, thinking that someone would be home when I returned. Famous last words. I arrived home to an empty house and had neglected to travel with my charger so: no entry, no phone and angry Mala. Nothing to do but write. Wanna read it? Here it goes:

Over the course of the last week I've had some interesting adventures.

Friday night was a clusterfuck. I had inordinate amounts of running around to do which culminated with me at an album release party wondering why. I had other things to do after and I knew it would turn into whatever the female version of a circle jerk is... The universe tends to never disappoint. I left the show on Thompson and walked over to Bowery to retrieve Raines. He was off work and accompanying me to my now exbestfriend's birthday show. The bar was called Madame Geneva's and it was packed with some of the most annoying drunken Englishmen I've ever had the misfortune to encounter. While waiting for Raines to wrap it up so that we could make our way to Williamsburg, I decided to hit the head. While in the loo, a patron decided that the alcohol was too much for his constitution. I came out of the bathroom to be greeted by a ruckus that included the stool that was holding my jacket hostage being knocked to the ground and some blondie being held in a half-assed half-nelson. Needless to say it was time to blow the scene.

Knowing that the F would screw us slowly to go the few stops it would take to get to 14th street, we decided to walk to the L. We hot-footed it there only to discover that entry to the stations were blocked. In both directions. Fucking MTA. They do it to us daily. Having traversed half of LES quite literally, we tried to catch a cab. No haps. 1:30 am found us still wandering around trying to find transportation. Raines then said that what we were doing was bordering on inane because by the time we got to the Burg everything would be long done. This distressed me because the effort we put in to get the hell out of the city was incredible. We threw in both towels and had a drink before walking over to west 4th from 14th and 1st and heading uptown.

Now I had missed my exbestfriend's bday party last year for reasons, once again, beyond my control. The result of that fiasco was him deciding to voluntarily avoid my bday party. Mature eh? So I knew missing this year would be an issue. What I didn't know was that it would end our friendship. By my choice. I tried to explain the effort and the fuck up. He wanted no parts of it and let me know this in no uncertain terms. At first I was very Nirvana: all apologies. Then I recalled that in ALL the years of us being friends he came to all of zero of my parties. I mean none. Not once did I bitch. Here he was giving me grief. I called him on it and got no response. This brought out the mal in Mala, especially when I noticed that he possessed so much shit that he had some left to pop about people being full of shit for not coming to his party. It was then that I decided to 86 that ass. If our friendship of years is based on my attendance to a show that I broke my ass to get to, then we weren't friends. Exit Mala, stage left.

Moving on, Saturday I ended up at a house party with my boy Miles somewhere deep in Bushwick. The party itself was cool until, like always, some bullshit happened. Having walked in with Miles, it was assumed that I was one of his many, many, many girls. His interest for the night was shying away and he asked me to explain our relation to her so that he could pursue her. Being the M that I am, I acquiesced. The girl's fears assuaged, the night went on without Miles making a move. So much so that the young lady revisited my side to express her disappointment. Hating the position I had been thrust unceremoniously into, I began to snap on Miles's prowess with the ladies. That didn't go over too well, which was displayed by Miles trying to manhandle me into another room to discuss my slick mouth. Now, if you've ever met me, you would know that didn't go over well. To avoid me throwing hands, I elected to break out like a rash, because frankly he had one more time to push me before I swung a haymaker, friend or no.

I step to the left, well after the witching hours hunting for a way back to my end of civilization. My phone was dead, it was late as fuckall and I was in West Bubblefuck, by way of Brooklyn. I had just, managed to convince dude at the habibi spot to charge my phone through the spinning window, when I run into Buck. Buck is adorable, but the classic epitome of a Brooklyn thug. Upon hearing why I was out at such an unfortunate hour in such attractive spandex pants, was all for returning to the party and shifting the part in Miles's hair. And trust me, if Buck couldn't accomplish that haircut, someone in his crew most assuredly would. I managed to waylay their bloodlust by providing a large can of strawberry flavored death, commonly known as Tilt, and so was Miles, and the part in his hair, saved.

Ah, the tale pauses here. I must move on to the next flex, but will continue this later...

M,
will always, ALWAYS carry her keys from now on...

Riot Acts: The Second Coming (revamped series premier)

Ok. I'm about to put my personal life on display. Just like the rest of this world. Face it, we've become a planet of extreme narcissistic exhibitionists and who am I to buck the system? Many people believe that art comes from pain and I agree. If I wasn't perturbed I probably wouldn't have that much to say right now. Thankfully life provides me with enough fuckery to create fodder for blog posts out the wazoo. I'm fast running out of wazoo.

I'll start with my brother-in-law.

Dear Dickwad:

If you ever read this I want you to know the vim and vigor with which you can go fuck yourself. You are a douche. I tried to like you, honest to sweet round-bellied Buddha. Yet each and every time you managed to find a way to alienate yourself. You're a mooching, anti-social, two-faced, control freak. If it wasn't for the fact that I love my nieces I would happily have you slapped around for the sheer pleasure of seeing your spindly, emaciated ass jangled like a marionette. You have insulted, belittled, disrespected and disheartened my family once too often. I implore you to take that sorry ass apology you sent me on FACEBOOK (cuz you're not man enough to CALL to say sorry), print it out, and shove it in the deepest crevasse your ass surely contains.

*partial back story: my niece stayed with us while my sis & dickinboots were deployed. when it came time to send her home, her father couldn't bother to call to let us know what arrangements he'd made. we (mom & i) were just told to drop her off to his mom. upon their arrival at home he didn't have the decency to call/text/email that the child arrived safely & thank my mom for all the care she provided. days passed and i noticed he had posted pics on facebook so i let him know he was in error. he made it clear to me that no human would call, he just wanted to enjoy his kid blah blah blah and if i couldn't come at him better then we didn't have to talk. i let him know that everyone who travels lets people know they arrived safely and if he had enough time to post on facebook he had enough time to call. then i proceeded to never fuckin speak to him again.* 

So, you snivelling bilge rat, now that your ass is in the doghouse you've painstakingly erected all by yourself over the last 6 or so years and my sis is giving it to you wholesale, you want to apologize? Too late fucker. Too late. She may forgive you but I'm not that nice. You've made me feel too awful too often. Please feel free to suck disturbingly large elephant balls and choke.

Sincerely,
This sisinlaw that woulda had your back if you weren't so busy stabbing hers...

P.S. ma-dukes thinks you're lower than ant shit as well...

Whew. That made me feel so much better that I'm not going to bother to flip about my exbestfriend's super emo-ness... at least not yet. Everybody can get it cuz I ain't playing and dude really wigged on me for some sensitive bullshit. He gets 2 middle fingers. I only wish I was born with more.

M.
fed up...

Going Old School

I used to have a pretty successful blog before everyone and their respective grammas became "big time writers". I've since decided to go back to basics. I've tried all sorts of new shit and found that it doesn't work for me. Then last week, my boy of many years Kelsey, asked me to bring back my blog because it was fun. I figured, hey, what the hell, it couldn't be any worse than what was already going on. So here goes my thing...

Ever since I've returned from Antigua I've primarily been fussed (as in ridiculously frustrated). I can't seem to find my stride. My living space had been torn asunder by my mom. She tends to do that when I go away for extended periods of time. I can't seem to find the energy it takes to reclaim my space. Everytime she drops by, she adds to the general disorder and my lack of umpf isn't helping. The end result is my crib looking like it caught the bad end of a tussle between a shit-storm and a maelstrom.

My daughter is driving me up a wall and part-way across the ceiling before unceremoniously dropping me on my keister. She's bored beyond rigor because of her lack of friends in the city and being used to being surrounded by a minimum of 5 family members at any given moment. The transition isn't going swimmingly and I know not having friends is trying for her. I just pray she makes it through the first day of school. I weep for her.

My love life is non-existant. My gentleman caller and I do nothing but fight. I think he wants me to be captain kiss ass but I just don't pucker that way. I've got no less than 2 and somewhere around 4 ex's placing their bid for reinstatement. Still, they are ex's for a reason and I'm loathe to revisit my reasons for 86ing them in the first place. There's one good friend I have to back burner for fear of losing the friendship. I'd rather not venture down the road and end up losing something of more value. There's another great guy who I'm just not in sync with. Let me not forget the insanely young boy who swears I need a stripling in my life... tried that before... stunk like old meat. I'd say I'm gonna have to pass but he lives in another state and our schedules never match anyway. The one person I had the passing thought of smushing uglies with, (having long since ventured the path and considered revisiting) turned out to be the Earl of Douche which led to this conversation:
Chuli: So let me get this straight, he's got a teeny peeny, bigger tits than you, a gut and  couldn't throw d*ck with a lacross stick, right?
Me: Uh, yeah... pretty much
Chuli: Do you think any of that has changed?
Me: Prolly not
Chuli: And your miffed it didn't work cuz why again?
Me: ....
She had a point. Still I end up spending a lot of time with mobile porn and my vibrator, who I have affectionately named "work" because it does a lot of it.

I've regained a few friends due to my return to social butterflyism. I have fun when I'm not stressed. People enjoy my company so I'm going back to basics. I also managed to alienate one of my best friends because she felt I was beholden to her. She didn't understand that when I first returned from Anu, I was unhappy and truly didn't want to be bothered with anyone. The only people I made immediate contact with was family & my support system while I was gone. Anyone else stumbled into my company by sheer happenstance. That wasn't good enough for her. She threw a bit of a wobbler. Goes to show she doesn't understand me at all. Alas, can't please everyone.

My new gig is a slow start but a perfect fit. My money's funnier than Katt Williams on crack but I'm doing the frugal thing so I should be fine until things ease up. School still has me face first over a barrel, no vaseline. The less said about that, the better. My health is taking the piss as I've taken to breaking out in the most egregious hives ever... all over my body... for not a fucking reason known to man. My mom's companion of 18 years died the other day. I loved that guy. My mom's putting up the good front while dealing with the vultures he called family. Once again I discovered that seeing my mom cry affects me in the most basic of ways, namely wrenching my heart.

All things considered, life is still the goodness. I'm going to Kassa Overall's mixtape release tonight. I need to alleviate the cabin fever of being trapped in the house/church/hospital dealing with death/hives/general fuckery. The party is at an old staple, Lit Lounge and it should be at least one kind of decent. I'm done here. Blogging by droid is killing my thumbs.
