Sweet Kurt



kurt was someone that meant alot to me

it still hurts me so much, i was going thru pure hell as a teenager with undiagnosed and ignored mental illness as well as in a violent abusive home and violent school when nirvana hit the airwaves…it was one of the ONLY things that helped me…
when i heard the news he left…i remember it like it was yesterday…the radio dj said it over the radio…i was in my old bedroom…i was standing near the closet…and when i heard i remember turning around and staring at the radio…
i had to go to a neighbors apartment to see if i can catch a glimpse of mtv….then they confirmed it…
i went back to my bedroom and just CRIED….just cried and yelled….
i picked up a sewing needle and i started stabbing myself with it….

it took me a while till i looked down and realized i make “k” all over my leg in dots and long slits all in different positions….upside down, all over my thigh….
its difficult for me to re-live that kind of heartache
i remember once i was just too tired to keep going, i picked up a pencil and a book and i wrote out a long poem…i let it just pour out of me…..it was like 4 pages
and i buried the book at the bottom of a chest in my closet
when everyone went to converge to his home in seattle i wanted to go but i couldnt find a way to get there
it hurt watching it on tv
i saw some girl that carved “Cobain” with a kitchen knife on her arm
that was my first time buying a razorblade
i went home and carved the same thing….it didnt go very deep so its not very noticeable today…but i plan on re-carving it

at my weakest of moments…the years that ive spent in psychiatric homes…going through endless amounts of medication combinations, trying to endure the painful lure of suicide….
at those times i think of Nirvana
i play Nirvana when I am weak…. because the music speaks so my soul…
from the very second i heard it back in the late 80’s it soothed my heart, built my inspiration, calmed the hurt, pained rage within me

and leading that was Kurts voice.

ive been fortunate to have been born with a slight psychic gift
a gift thats hard to describe
but i was fortunate enough to make contact with Kurt one night
a night that was a blessing after a day of emotional turmoil
a day of wondering if my life was worth living…

whereupon in my deepest of hurt, Kurt said nothing
but he played the guitar
it was not on earth
it was in a place i dont even know
he played a melody so deep, so beautiful…there are no words for what i heard….he looked at me and without even words….it was as if he let me know that he knew the pain i was in and that he would play me something that would help…
there are ABSOLUTELY no words that i can use that would accurately describe what he played for me…..all i can say is that…it was beyond music

call me crazy, but this is how I know that Kurt’s spirit is well and active and flowing free

last night i was given another gift of seeing Kurt
(this Godly gift ive been given comes mainly when i sleep)
he was looking well…happy…and had a youthful lovely glow about him

he was walking around with children, handing them lollipops
he looked at me….he acknowledged me without words
words aren’t needed in this otherworldly place…

it wasnt until i woke up that i realized why he chose to reveal himself again
i hadnt remembered april 5th…i had put it out of my mind

im not sure why it was chosen to remind me…perhaps to remember his legacy….to remember my own desire to inspire, help and heal others as Kurt unknowingly did for so many?

perhaps….

all I know is that today i cannot help but feel feelings equally mixed…that of
sadness
as well as happiness
as well as inspiration

Kurt I love you,
I know you see your fans
I know you feel their love
I know you are free from the Earthly pain you felt
but we cannot help our sadness, our selfishness, in wanting you back on Earth with us

but if your brief time on Earth was all we were meant to have
I still Thank You for it

and I look forward to our spirits meeting one day

i hope i can do you proud with my own music

Love, Rix

\m/


Dearest Kurt,
We miss you so much....your fans have never and will NEVER forget you
you've given us so much; your art soothed our souls, spoke what we could not say, breathed inspiration into our hearts
I love you
i know you are in Heavenly Paradise making music beyond epicness....
we all can't wait to see you again and hear your beautiful voice
today we mourn the day of your passing
with love ❤❤❤❤❤❤

love, Rix

Suicide is NOT the answer



today....something dreadful happened
as i was happily walking out from under my apartment building;

someone had jumped from the roof of my building

he was in what looked like pajamas; navy blue...he wore no socks or shoes...his shattered glasses had come off and were laying next to him.....

the sight was ghastly and is burned into my memory....ankles exploded and detached over a chain and post; fully exposing bright red blood; bones and twisted away from the body in ways no ankle should ever be
....contorted body bent into horrific position...giant sliced opening in the back of the head with brain matter spilling out....mashed contorted face almost like some one sleeping through a horrid nightmare...lips turned blackened and oozing foam and thick gobs of blood and saliva.....
lifeless hands curled under...



he looked like a teen when i looked at him closely

it was around the time the high schoolers go to school....in an area where many people sit on benches and converse....

it looked like as though he'd just gotten out of bed?

he looked like a beautiful human being

the police and ambulances came quick and secured the scene and covered him....
i couldnt help but start to cry as i was being questioned...
i feel ashamed to have cried
i have NEVER cried at the scene of an accident

i have ALWAYS been a calm, controlled EMT

but this......is something.....so different.....i cant explain

it was as if he wanted to fall someplace where everyone would see him....as if he wanted people to feel his pain? perhaps...

i certainly do

right now im trying to keep myself together...my friends have been calling with their support....my older brother took me home arm in arm

my body is shaky, tingly, yet somehow numb....

my mind is twisted in a thousand knots

everyone keeps saying there was nothing i could have done

but the scene keeps replaying in my mind.....

could i have done more?.....could I have done more? could I have done more?...........my mind keeps saying

i know the feeling of wanting to die
i have had a ROUGH life and even considered jumping from a building also (back when i was sickly and with emotional issues)

but now i definitely can see that it's something that causes a ripple effect.....
someone may see suicide as a way out.....but without understanding the hurt it will cause
to their loved ones
to people that witness it
to people that work to care for your body

to MANY people

suicide is NOT the answer.....it will only make things worse.....stay alive....

i am going to repost these important numbers

and know...that if you read this...if you need to talk....if ANYTHING is making you doubt your life....you can reach out to me...and i WILL answer....i WILL help

but you MUST stay alive
things will get better if you get help! trust me i have lived what i talk about

i am going to post important numbers

FOR VETERANS (i have just learned that the man was a veteran)
PLEASE SEEK HELP IF YOU ARE FEELING UNWELL.....THERE ARE MULTIPLE PROGRAMS WAITING AND WANTING TO HELP YOU!
I AM INCLUDING NUMBERS FOR VETERANS


and know…that if you read this…if you need to talk….if ANYTHING is making you doubt your life….you can reach out to me…and i WILL answer….i WILL help

'57 Chevy

I'd like to introduce you to my dream car
Turquoise 1957 Chevy Bel Air  with white wall tires


彡☆❤♡♡♡♥♥♥❤❤❤(♥‿♥)❤❤❤♥♥♥♡♡♡❤☆彡

it all started back in 1988.....Mattel & Barbie came out with this:



i got it for Christmas 1989 at the tender age of 9yrs old
it was the most beautiful thing i laid eyes on.....i played with it EVERY day

EVERY DAY

even as i grew up....i would NOT part with it

it was this fantastical idea of the 1950's
a colorsplashed world of color; chock full of greasers, coiffed hair and flowing fashionable ensembles that I had never lived through

I knew that one day...ONE day i would somehow get ahold of this car FOR REALZ!
it had to be the EXACT same color
with the EXACT same color of interior

and it MUST be a convertible

perhaps i, like many others, lived thru barbie?

but..............

i improperly stored the car in my mothers apartment as I went about my worldly buisiness
the car became dusty and home for insects
some pieces had gone missing also
rear view mirrors, antennae and such....

i gave it a proper bath...carefully; and left it to sit and be beautiful on my mothers terrace.

I went about my life making one mistake
forgetting the beloved car (◕︵◕)

it sat for nearly a year....thru rain, sun, wind, snow....

one day I came back for it....it was gone

my mother unfortunately told me the news that it had succumbed to the weather....and that the fragile old plastic had literally crumbled at her fingertips when touching it




i was pretty sad to say the least

not only am i QUITE nostalgic (i still own my easy bake oven from the early 80's)
but this was something beautiful...something priceless

so it is my goal
to get my barbie car BACK
(ebay....& such)

but.........
in addition..........

i shall have the REAL thing!

Maybelline FINALLY nails it! the Rocket Volum' Express Mascara!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥


FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!
after i had figured i'd given up on lame-ass piss-poor mascaras I finally found one that truly lives up to its claims to put sum "oomph" into my teensy baby lashes
Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara!


i was quite hesitant after the EPIC FAILURE that was the line of "The Falsies"...Maybelline had all the commercials with the rawkin 80's music; boasting thickness akin to false eyelashes
i wanted it!
im the kinda gal that LOVES huge thick luscious lashes and to me: NOTHING compares to a thick false lash in jet black

the falsies was a disaster!
i had DOLLAR STORE mascaras that worked better than that crap!
after all the bad reviews i noticed Maybelline quietly pulled the commercials
then they came out with a "winged" version of the falsies with its ridiculous fairy wings painted on the bottle
it did NADA!
then came the "Black Drama"; and it was....ok....it was average...nothing to be excited about


so u can understand my frustration!
i had stopped using mascara ALL together and just went with false lashes
so i heard about this "The Rocket" and i did a shit-load of watching reviews....people seemed to like it so i trotted on down to the local CVS where it was on sale and I made sure I had a coupon (I will NEVER pay full retail again afte all those mascara failures....i couldnt wait till i got home so as soon as i bought The Rocket Volum' Express (being sure to buy BLACKEST BLACK) i oogled for a bit at the pretty royal blue-ish purple bottle and the hot pink brush...
then i went and put it on


WHAM!!!! (◕o◕)
i couldnt believe what i was seeing; one coat and i was lookin at thickness!
usually it takes me about 3 coats to get what i saw in that one coat...and believe me i LOOOOVE to layer on the mascara like theres no tomorrow!





the back of the package

its a hard bristle wand with both small and long bristles that grab lashes quite well and distribute product nicely

like i said; ive NEVER been able to resist opening the package before taking pics (>‿<)
i am so happy i am willing to show you (ick) my eyes without any makeup or mascara
(be forewarned LOLS!)

blah

ta-dah!
(plz excuse my skin; it is blurred for your protection)

 let us review the CRAP-TASTIC maybelline failures.....
.....excuse me....
.
EPIC failures



YUSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
not only does it work but its a really pretty bottle thats kinda shaped like a rocket (hehehe no dirty jokes about pocket-rockets ^_^)
and so....i am actually pleased and i display my happee face
my advice ladies....(and u gents too);
pick up a pack and try it!!!!!
cant afford it; collect bottles, sell newspapers, get coupons...whatever is legal
trust me this really is worth it
even just by itself its quite nice......if you're in a hurry you can just plop on a coat of this mascara and sup lip-gloss and rawk the streets!

In Search of Fuchsia Lips


okay so i had become OBSESSED with HOT PINK lips
ive gone without lipstick for a long time
i saw a makeup artist with HOT PINK lips that RAWKED \m/
but i was faced with the challenge of trying to find suitable yet beautiful colors for Choco skin
im not a rich bitch....so i often must wait a while before i can splurge on makeup
and i rely (or have to be reminded to) on the large amount of makeup ive collected so far
(which is a BLESSING)

finding suitable shades for Choco skin tones can be a pain in the ass (>︵<)

theres ALOT of trial and error


(brand new HUGE train case that i've stuffed all my makeup in)


upon my usual scouring of beauty supply stores i went STRAIGHT to my fave company; NYX!
i picked up a pretty color that looked pretty nice
as u can see from the pic; theres a little window to see the color;
i picked up the newer Matte Lipstick in "Sweet Pink"



 


(some swatches of it next to a deep red)




(UUUUUGGGHHH!!!!!!!!)

when i put it on; it made me a bit upset; im VERY picky when it comes to lips and it just appeared TOO LIGHT >:-[


☆:*¨¨*:★:*¨¨*:☆:*¨¨*:★:*¨¨*:☆:*¨¨*:★



i used a jordana pencil in "Brown Suede" to line my lips to make it blend a bit better; but it seems that Jordana pencil is a bit too light as well =/

so i used NYX's jumbo pencils in Dark Brown and it looked decent; but not to my ultimate liking

=/ meh

=/ mehhhhhhhhh


but silly me ^_^
something told me to look thru the big bag of older lipsticks i already have
then i remembered these two lovelies!
i had seen these like 2 years ago; these hot pink VERY unique shades with a VERY blue-ish purple base
the first one in the matte black casing is "Chloe"
and the round one is "Euclyptus" (yes i know the spelling is wrong by NYX)
i had fallen in love with these shades cuz they seemed like such "party shades"
but stoopid me has never worn them
*facepalm*


(NYX's Dark Brown jumbo pencil)

(Euclyptus in the round tube is on the left: it has a slightly more intense pigment)
so i lined my lips with the Dark Brown and BLENDED WELL........
do i like it?????


*HAPPEE DANCE!!!!!*

I LOVE IT!!!
i could've gone out and emptied my wallet when all this time what i needed was right under my nose

i need to remember to think more

especially to think more thrifty (◔◡◔)
