okay so pretty much life is a glowing orb(the color of the orb may be associated with your aura) with a silk ribbon spiraling down it and eventually winding up itself. (If it reaches back to the top then the individual has become self-actualized or possibly altruistic by the time of death.)&lt;br /&gt;(*also it should be noted that the color of the ribbon indicates the over-all path you took in life -the energies you &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;based&lt;/span&gt; actions upon, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;etc&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inside the glowing orb is You. there are many layers and dimensions of You- indicating depth of consciousness and perspective. Also, the little spec we call You is &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;divided&lt;/span&gt; (typically into the ID, EGO, and SUPER-EGO-)but is subject to change &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;based&lt;/span&gt; on the individual. At the core of You there are 7 different energies known as &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;chakras&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;basically&lt;/span&gt; the glowing orb is existence and the spiralling ribbon is the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;execution&lt;/span&gt;.

Mouth full of cotton she wept, for the empty air had consumed her time and will. Steamy tears fell to her ripening breasts and streamed down her modest yet exposed cleavage. Were they tears or beads of humidity some may wonder?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For hours she walked through the maze of vines and shrubs, certain that there really was no point in life other than death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Ali turned a corner of the relentless maze her eyes were nearly pulled from her skull. There- 113 yards from her feet were the most luscious and gargantuan grapes her sight finders had ever beheld. A mad dash led to her pink finger tips to tickle the skin of a juicy green grape. Before her cerebral cortex could relay information to her motor cortex Ali tasted the sour juices of the green grape. She immediately regretted her impulsive actions and smacked herself repeatedly over the front of her head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These grapes are OBVIOUSLY not ripe! She thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And before she could think to walk away a realization surfaced. Though the grape was sour in taste, it had moistened her lips and given her tongue slight gratification. Indeed the concept of thirst had not been acknowledged until that very moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another stimulus was discovered that moment- the largest, most perfect grape to be known to little Ali’s conscious life and wildest dreams! All this time it had been inconspicuously growing under the other grapes. Ali’s mouth watered and her heart thumped like a wood pecker’s beak against a tree. She wanted so badly its juices to introduce themselves to her many dry taste-buds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            This however was not accomplished because the recollection of sour flavors was all too fresh in her mind. Instead she decided that she’d tend to the grape until its adulthood. She read once, that if you talk to plants they’ll grow faster and healthier than regular plants. With this in mind she even decided to name the larger-than-life fruit. The Deliciousness it was coined. The Deliciousness was also designated a gender (to better connect was Ali’s reasoning.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; And so it was, Ali would raise The Deliciousness and his bunch of grapes until they were fit and ripe. (Because everyone knows young green grapes grow up to make splendid Pinot Noir.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The days passed and turned to weeks and every hour Ali would tend to the fruit and sing it wonderful melodies and personal renditions of Creedence Clearwater Revival tunes. The Deliciousness grew even larger (much to the girl’s surprise,) and darker every time! The petite red-head became so fond of her new precious she almost dreaded the thought of killing him (but this was easily resolved when the cotton in her mouth rebelled and expanded like mold.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally the day came- The Deliciousness reached his prime and was ready for the picking. Ali’s eyes filled with a sting and she felt a prick in her chest to know soon she’d be alone again, with no one and nothing but herself to enjoy. Through this though, she knew the enjoyment she’d receive from the nectar of her workings would far prevail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ali sang one more CCR song to the gang of grapes, a sort of bidding good bye, sort of assurance of pick them at their most prime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From here on the memory gets dim.

My words make the concept so much less than what it is. I have no clue what to do- i feel like the less words i use the more meaningful the metaphore- but i need to explain the intricacies of these two subjects. And i don't even know if truely it's the errors of man that remind me of the desert, perhaps it's just the nature...any suggestions would be appreciated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;The errors of human nature remind me of the desert and it’s interaction with the rain. We deprive and harm our selves and others; which causes our soil to dry. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;           From there the scaring only grows and before we know it the moist soil is cracked and brittle. All we need is a little water, and things would be healthier, softer. Time wears on, the dirt only gets harder, and the moisture is out of sight. One day a cloud appears in the sky line and before we know it day is blackened by the promise of nutrients. And then it falls, the precious drops of water run to the ground to repair the tragedy that it has become. But the real tragedy is it’s too late. The damage has already been done and instead of the dirt becoming wet with joy it becomes flooded, as if it were holding a grudge. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;                                We were starved for so long…and evolved into something else.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;TO:Kira&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;SENT:Wed May 13th, 2009&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;FROM: MJ Slick&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;I really do love the metaphor. I think however, that the hard ground is just resistant... and water, being such a bearer of life, will permeate no matter what - in time. The dirt may be hardened but still needs and wants this water... sometimes drowning in another world is the only way to soften our own landscape.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;EPOLOGUE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;TO: MJ Slick&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;SENT: Thur May 14, 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;FROM: Kira&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;Thank you- you reminded me of details i had pushed aside. I could however, debate with your statement that water will permeate with time- the desert doesn't get rain frequently enough for permeation to take place. But i see what you're saying and i truely appreciate your input. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

It gets fixated on that idea that gets you off most but is surprisingly progressive. The vocalist, a woman, has a certain seduction about herself, something mechanic, something artificial like clones rather than an honesty. This however allows one to have a "no strings attached" feeling as their ears sensually explore the message at hand. As the album comes to an end you almost want to grab a cigarette. It feels like a charcoal gray satin sheet is bounding you into its cool endless rhythm when you’re doused in sweat. The electronic influence is heavy but not in the repetitive sense like with most music- its organic. Organic electronic music with lots of sex appeal- haha that’s what this album is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4799263538027318660-716540279311413392?l=almondjoy9.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://almondjoy9.blogspot.com/feeds/716540279311413392/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://almondjoy9.blogspot.com/2009/04/portisheads-third.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4799263538027318660/posts/default/716540279311413392'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4799263538027318660/posts/default/716540279311413392'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://almondjoy9.blogspot.com/2009/04/portisheads-third.html' title='Portishead&apos;s Third'/><author><name>kira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15578170250980436284</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_l4v49PAoRI0/TT8WKpPV3SI/AAAAAAAAAE0/jGhY6ussl3g/s220/classic.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_l4v49PAoRI0/Sft4hnKRwFI/AAAAAAAAAA4/S26ufasETHw/s72-c/Portishead-third.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4799263538027318660.post-7578170715892189400</id><published>2009-04-30T08:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-30T09:03:00.723-07:00</updated><title type='text'>cigarette burn</title><content type='html'>I flipped my head upside down while I was blow drying my hair this morning. My eyes fixed themselves to a faint circular scar on my thigh. It took only a second to recall the incident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;I was in the back seat of a trashed Subaru wind blowing my hair in every direction. My buddy Stin lit his fag and started to puff. Minutes later he flicked the ash out of the window. The wind however didn’t see this appropriate or suiting, so it spit the ash right back. Unfortunately instead of laying itself on the perpetrator it took a liking to the back seat, specifically my thigh. Burnt right through my jeans (surprisingly) and into my flesh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While remembering this ridiculousness a flash of anger infiltrated my conscience. Why was I the one who got burned? I wasn’t the one smoking- hell I don’t even like cigarettes! Surely this was undeserved!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;Then I realized how silly I was.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4799263538027318660-7578170715892189400?l=almondjoy9.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://almondjoy9.blogspot.com/feeds/7578170715892189400/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://almondjoy9.blogspot.com/2009/04/cigarette-burn.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4799263538027318660/posts/default/7578170715892189400'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4799263538027318660/posts/default/7578170715892189400'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://almondjoy9.blogspot.com/2009/04/cigarette-burn.html' title='cigarette burn'/><author><name>kira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15578170250980436284</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_l4v49PAoRI0/TT8WKpPV3SI/AAAAAAAAAE0/jGhY6ussl3g/s220/classic.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4799263538027318660.post-3651320383346118632</id><published>2009-04-30T05:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-01T15:29:13.147-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Miles Davis</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_l4v49PAoRI0/Sft3pFXAhfI/AAAAAAAAAAw/CgMBEaeD_2o/s1600-h/miles_davis%5B1%5D.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330986131620136434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 317px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_l4v49PAoRI0/Sft3pFXAhfI/AAAAAAAAAAw/CgMBEaeD_2o/s320/miles_davis%5B1%5D.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;The thing about Miles Davis is this: it’s a man and his instrument being the epitome of intimacy and not caring who’s paying attention! It’s self-expression on a level most individuals hardly achieve in these modern times. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;There’s a sense of security within the music they (Davis and his beloved horn) create- you know you’ll always feel something listening to it! How can one stay numb when they’re listening to a man put his heart and soul on record so gracefully? The melodies may go along with feelings of lonely displacement with the rest of the world or utter bliss at the taste of relaxation. He may make you cry tears of joy and tears of sorrow, all at once or over time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#336666;"&gt;There’s just something about Miles Davis and that trumpet- they plunge themselves deep into your heart without expecting of you what others would. They are just in their existence and complete within each other. It has nothing to do with the filth of this world be it money or sex. It isn’t about popularity or being liked. It’s about making a love – a love supreme as Coltrane would say. It’s about externalizing the most internal thing any being has.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4799263538027318660-3651320383346118632?l=almondjoy9.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://almondjoy9.blogspot.com/feeds/3651320383346118632/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://almondjoy9.blogspot.com/2009/04/miles-davis.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4799263538027318660/posts/default/3651320383346118632'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4799263538027318660/posts/default/3651320383346118632'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://almondjoy9.blogspot.com/2009/04/miles-davis.html' title='Miles Davis'/><author><name>kira</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15578170250980436284</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_l4v49PAoRI0/TT8WKpPV3SI/AAAAAAAAAE0/jGhY6ussl3g/s220/classic.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_l4v49PAoRI0/Sft3pFXAhfI/AAAAAAAAAAw/CgMBEaeD_2o/s72-c/miles_davis%5B1%5D.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4799263538027318660.post-8307485429370209016</id><published>2009-04-30T05:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-30T05:10:27.270-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Joy</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#33cc00;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Ever been so &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;excited&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;you feel &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;like your going&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;to explode?
