Turn And Face The Strange

"When I wake up in my makeup, It's too early for that..."

Wait, it isn't too early for that I've changed my mind. You see I just woke up and I've changed a few times since then.

This is one of my favorite quotes from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures In Wonderland. The book, which is not to be, nor should ever be confused with the many adaptations to TV and Film that have been done. 

Ooooops! I did it again, I just changed since I wrote that last sentence. 

Here is comes again, another one bites the dust, yep I changed yet again. 

And the world keeps turning...

Hump Day & Chill

Debbie Harry

This is the perfect image to let loose and Hump Day & Chill with. It's iconic and so is Debbie who let's face it is the definition of eternal cool chill.

So kick it like Debbie, nobody does it like her!

Current Mood

Alfred Hitchcock's
Psycho

"We all go a little mad sometimes" - Norman Bates, Psycho

Norman Bates got this right. Sometimes we all DO go a little mad. If you are in that place then join me there as it's a Current Mood thing.

Come with me to the other side and let's descend into madness. Eat the madness and when you are done spit it back out! It's the circle of life after all. 

Madness happens from time to time that's all you need to know. 

Don't fight it, simply flow with it. It's all about in how you handle the ride.
