Life is like an aguarium
life is like an aquarium----there are the top feeders and the bottom feeders
the ones in the middle never do much of anything, take no musical risks, of no real consequence---they are---at best----"second stringer" and dine on leftovers from the topfeeders.
if you swim with them, you will waste your time placating their neurotic emotions and swimming in dillusionl dream borne of ego deficit---and by the by, they will hold you accountable for what they do not attain. if you swim with them---you might as will have gone down in the burmuda triangle" at least, there might be some interesting press about you----
the first time i caught a cat fist in texas(a big one)---he stuck his big fins out and cut me pretty deep, but i was impressed with him. i respected that fish and insisted to the dismay to the guy i was fishing with that i was going to throw him back in the water and i did so---as i said "he is obviously the "leader"---he had "moxy"
life's topfeeders thrive on "wins"---get all the best food and never let anything deter their goals..they take their own advice above anyone else's and if they dc ask advise they seek it only from those who are objective, unjealous, undesperate and most of all knowledable
if one is to have "advisors" they should be self assured, successful in career, in love and/or any intimate relationships
one should live an intimate life on all levels.that requires honesty and integrity. no middleground
living in "grey area" is dull and unimaginative and wost of all---"fearful"
that guy "lance" that just announced that he was gay impressed me with what he said. god bless him and barry manilow and elton john---and so on and so on---
the mark of a man in this woman's eyes is his inability to tolerate hypocracy in himself and others.
in my opinion these boys------
are real men----thus they are and will continue to be successful
hey, closetfish are devious and dangerous---stay away from them until they can be proud of who they are--*they have lied and covered so long that it makes them lie and cover in the music too, if they are musicians---one lie, one small moment of compromised integrity makes other moments possible and---likely!
take some tips from a lady who makes a living at what she loves doing singing, writing, performing and recording. i've been so busy that i haven't been in this site for months.
you will recognize those who should be in your life as they will add to who you are without subtracting from who you are---if you only let those into your inner circle---you will find that you will add to them without subtracting from who they are----as well
life's "positives" have another thing in common----they have uncommonly good health as a result of allowing no negativity to stay in their lives and move away from those who are negative---although at another time----positives my enter and make the relationship thrive again, be it business, personal, etc.
i assure you of one thing that i know for sure----"swim with the bottomfeeders and they will eventually feed on you"
hey, what is the point of this obviously silly story---just this--
you aint no fish----so anything "fishy" in your life and music needs to be thrown out.
someone once said that fish were like relatives---after three days---they start to smell bad"
you don't wanna swim with the fishes(especially not in the "godfather" terms"
reach for the sky and the star will wink their approval to you
live a "rainbow prismatic" life
however, if you got stuck in an aquarium situation-----be sure to stay with the topfeeders until you sprout legs and get the hell outta there.
i'm so happy---i just wrote a new song called "lumiere" and i'm in love with the lyric . i'm muddling to translate it to frenh---"muddling" hardly decribes it---however the woman that translated it is no poet and i didn't like what it was saying---but whew---i sure need to get better at the french ----fast---i will
i was given her as a coach but her speaking voice is so irritating that i actually asked her if i could pitch her voice by piano and i got her to speak lower but she has this "voice breack" and it sounds like a yodel---isssssh!!
i'm takin it over---it's my music
i am french on my mother's side. my hair is platinum blondee but even so---a guy approached me the other day in a store and and said "you are frenchj, aren't you??? i was floored that he knew that. tells me i'm on the right track with my career and music.. we get signs----if we pay attention.
i'm so excited about my performance in 2007 and am pressuring my self a bit too hard---but i only compete-----with myself.
i'm wishing all good things to happen to you gifted ones
sorry, but the merely talented bore me
ok, so i'm not nice---i am honest
that is never wrong
happy fishing
