it doesn't get better than this


last night at around 2.30 in the morning i flipped thru channels and found myself totally confused as rosario dawson went thru her monologue, her poem, everything I ever wanted to think or say to someone and it had to hit me while I was dozing off.

Thank God I found the poem on this site.

my gift is not poetry - however, when I heard what she said I could not help but cry b/c maybe I will never know and understand what I feel with such clarity and I wanted to write that so badly.

i wonder what it would do to most of the people in the world if they read that to someone they loved - how do most people think and feel

this may not sound so glamourous - but, I know this.....when I die my cause of death will be drowning myself in whatever pool my love is laying in

and for once, it won't be a comedy, a joke, a game, a front, a desperate wall put up at all costs to not get steamrolled by the closest people to you

catharsis is bliss.

what sounds better - is all spirituality love or all love spirituality?
"....when you're weary I want to give you steeples and cathedral thoughts"

yeah, and this is bad ass bold - "...I want your scar on my lips" Whoever can handle that knows how to live and take it all in. they think they have the deeper scar? I do not know. maybe. can love be that brave to take scars deeper than their own - I do not know, no one has done that for me. I got so pissed off once that my boyfriend (ignorant jerk #2 or 3, there has definitely been one or two before, I do not want to delve to deeply right now, forgive me) was acting like his drunk "I am the man of the hour" self and ignoring me....so I was sitting in the passenger seat of my suv, while he was saying his meaningless, endless good-byes and I decided to put out my cigarette on my left forearm. but, I knew how he was and it was my fault for doing that - trying anything to get attention b/c I myself love attention and I was being selfish. Hi, oh, guess what I was up to while you were gone you arrogant prick. I had to do the physical for him to feel the mental. And when you are in or someone is in your head watch out. We are powerful - all of us in our own way to really upset someone. With maturity, I'll be 29 this year 2004, I know not to do it even if it is tempting me to death. Why would we ever want to hurt people? Big questions - the questions that many, sometimes even me, push aside and say that I guess we'll never know until that special time - whether it be after death or whatever you believe. Sometimes I think it's just laziness and who can stand things that will go around and around and become absolutely tediousness. The best right answer; there is not one sometimes.

I should have called my subject for this text - "sometimes," can I say it anymore?!

peace, kylee

There's nothing else a filmmaker/writer/actor/artist can hope for. To make a connection at 2am in the morning, to say things finally, to say things correctly, to say things so they're heard. This film lives and breathes on the oxygen of everything fringe and outside, it exists in the disconnect of place and word, and is found in one name in one location, the Chelsea Hotel, where everything seems thrown together yet somehow meant to be there. The whole atmosphere of this film is one of 'walking in on', like when you hear the middle of a good conversation and wish you were a tongue. I don't know what realizations or revelations you will come to in your situation, but I at least can understand the good of recognition, and acknowledge what it awakes within us so that we may sleep. Good post.

Silence, is the sound of nature.
