Because they can afford to buy expensive things and because of those expensive things, shiney-on-the-outside-but-empty-on-the-inside people begin to pay attention to them? They become friends that are more expensive than the most priceless work of art because they take not green papers, not gold or diamonds but things that are beyond value. Like breath or the sense to enjoy it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They take first your personality. They make you a carbon copy of something as nasty as cigarette smoke and old, blanched paper and a grey sky that enver ends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then they block off your heart from the rest of your body. With it locked away they take the capacity to feel emotions such as love, anger, humility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without your heart and personality you have no foundation on which to rest morals and ethics, so you have no opinions other than the ones they feed you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all this done they have stolen your soul and therefore your connection to other human beings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So go ahead with your yachts and your Maseratis and your tiny dogs with crystal collars and the constant vague question that you might throw out there about why you must have it all. But then again, *they* have everything and you are one of *them* so you must have it all as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go ahead with all the money in the world. Your condescension towards me is ironic, for what you see as substance I see as an empty cave for an empty shell to rattle around in until it's time to crack, produce nothing and feed the Earth your brittle remains so that it may make beautiful things from a life so void of such.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9481964-112361380156921784?l=unbleached.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://unbleached.blogspot.com/feeds/112361380156921784/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9481964&amp;postID=112361380156921784' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9481964/posts/default/112361380156921784'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9481964/posts/default/112361380156921784'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://unbleached.blogspot.com/2005/08/sad-sad-world.html' title='a sad, sad world'/><author><name>Rebecca Galardo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05847012323284122922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9481964.post-112066157385471349</id><published>2005-07-06T10:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-07-06T07:55:48.236-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Fuck you in a tie (heavy curses abound)!</title><content type='html'>[angry post]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is to all the ignorant asses out there that think a woman wearing a tie has to 'mean' something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/sadiethenymph/pic/0004tz3a"&gt;Fuck you once.&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/sadiethenymph/pic/0004wr1x"&gt;Fuck you twice.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know which one says 'fuck you!' more, so pick the one that pisses you off the most.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even Mrs OCD.

appears in your horizon. Big and scary bold letters because it is &lt;b&gt;THE GYM&lt;/b&gt;. You have your bag with you, your water, your book, your MP3 player and your keys that you are so NOT going to lock in the locker and have to have the big butch lady with the lock-cutters come in and kill your pretty $10 pink lock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pink is not you anyway. It's Lana. Now the cutting is funny, but still it's $10 down the drain almost instantly and next time you'll get the yellow and orange one that was out of stock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, you are crossing the parking lot where you parked far away from the entrance. You tell yourself that it's because you are not yet proficent at parking, but you know that's not it as you do fine at work. It's because you want time to be able to back out of it before those glass doors close in on you and you're trapped until you do at the very least 20 minutes of cardio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you're corssing the lot, determined ahead and all these things cross your mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BAD: The cute guy at the front desk will look at you and wonder why the chubby girl is even bothering. And why is she dressed like that?&lt;br /&gt;Good: If you keep coming here you won't be chubby.&lt;br /&gt;BAD: The feeling of intimidation that serious every-day-of-the-week gymbirds give you.&lt;br /&gt;Good: You'll be hot enough to move on to muscle building someday soon.&lt;br /&gt;BAD: The fact that it's always packed when you are able to go because there are more people that will see you.&lt;br /&gt;Good: The fact that it's always packed when you are able to go because there are more people so you are harder to pick out.&lt;br /&gt;BAD: Thin people. They are your arch enimies.&lt;br /&gt;Good: Thin people. They are your inspiration. They WILL be you brethren.&lt;br /&gt;BAD: The fact that your MP3 player's battery dies just as you were beginning to forget the outside world and since you had your MP3 player and were going to run you didn't think you needed your book which is literally as far away as it could get still being in the building and not dumped in the pool and by the way, all the treadmills are either used, broken or buggered up with 'neccesary gym fat guy' sweat so now you are on one of those ski-tread things and you tell yourself that it's fine, you burn more calories, but really you wanted to run because running is pushing yourself.  It's all about endurance and run-on sentences.&lt;br /&gt;Good: Making goals.&lt;br /&gt;BAD: Making your goals smaller halfway through the exercise.&lt;br /&gt;Good: Finishing.&lt;br /&gt;BAD: Feeling like everyone else thinks you are a wimp because you finished first.&lt;br /&gt;Good: You feel strong.&lt;br /&gt;BAD: You sit down to stretch and see that the chick behind you would be able to stick her tongue up her butt if she were so inclined, meaning that you are stiff and short and fat.&lt;br /&gt;Good: Not caring because you feel proud of yourself.&lt;br /&gt;BAD: Locker rooms.&lt;br /&gt;Good: Leaving the locker room.&lt;br /&gt;Good: Leaving the gym.&lt;br /&gt;Good: Leaving the parking lot.&lt;br /&gt;Good: Investing in your body on a regular basis makes you a healthier person that is more alert to what you are putting in your body and mouth. You want to protect the work you have done and are less likely to binge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, anywho. Just another day at the gym. Goddamn MP3 player.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9481964-110666635367570615?l=unbleached.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://unbleached.blogspot.com/feeds/110666635367570615/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9481964&amp;postID=110666635367570615' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9481964/posts/default/110666635367570615'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9481964/posts/default/110666635367570615'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://unbleached.blogspot.com/2005/01/teh-gym-teh-run-away-that-is.html' title='teh gym, teh run... away that is'/><author><name>Rebecca Galardo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05847012323284122922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9481964.post-110632467988937040</id><published>2005-01-21T08:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-01-21T08:26:24.740-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Um, yeah.

I can't wait to get on my 49CC bike and strap an inch-thick plastic guard around my noggin and put my life in the hands of others more so than when I ride in a car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was taught no money skills and that I would have to wait to learn to drive.

And now I am working while my guy goes to school, so even if I had the mad money skilz, I couldn't pay for insurance.  No bling for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A moped it is then.

Such diversity in all things, people, architecture, additudes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Ben Franklin Hotel (or whatever it is called; damn, I need a book on that whole city) is amazing on the inside.  Just incredible.

I want to move.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But of course it will be cold in late January and early February when nobody wants their titties to freeze.  Of course, cold to the Floridians is 65 degrees.  That is when everyone starts bitching and whining, "oh my god, it's freezing, I moved to Florida to get away from this weather."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well, move to Mexico.

And it's Thursday, our date night.  You're one yummy bitch with a little Mountain Dew to disguise your strong opinions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.davesdaily.com/pictures/120-getmeout.htm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that's how my mother found me.  In some dingy by the wayside Mexican restaurant where the machines barely even take the quarters anymore and the cockroaches are just part of the ambiance.  I think she doesn't doesn't want to tell me that I am an orphan, a random victim of the meaningless grime crimes that run rampant in Guatamala.  Those god damned nuns.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How I got to Mexico, I'll never know.  I suppose I hitched a ride with those midnight trucking faeries.  Maybe some decent drunkard thought I was the worm at the bottom of the bottle.  All I know is the next thing that poor family owned and operated restuarant knows is there is a little white orphaned child from Guatamala sitting inside their toy machine.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure at first they were going to take me out but then, hey, you know how it goes.  What would Jesus do, right?  So they left me in there while all the Mexicans around tried to get me out with their quarters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I dreamed that Frau Far Bissina, my horribly balanced and atrociously adorable hamster, had the voice of the woman travel agent at work.  Imagine the Hollywood agents circa 1950 with the gravelly voice that dealt mainly with porn stars or little people.  Or both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Either way she was telling me not to eat all the cheese because the penguin in the ice box wanted some.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9481964-110265412642211216?l=unbleached.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://unbleached.blogspot.com/feeds/110265412642211216/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9481964&amp;postID=110265412642211216' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9481964/posts/default/110265412642211216'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9481964/posts/default/110265412642211216'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://unbleached.blogspot.com/2004/12/captain-my-captain.html' title='captain my captain'/><author><name>Rebecca Galardo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05847012323284122922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9481964.post-110261151981351446</id><published>2004-12-09T08:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-12-09T08:58:39.813-08:00</updated><title type='text'>bare on the cross</title><content type='html'>...lost again, dead in her refelction... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...flying in that Cesna, with Glenn Miller and that picture of my girl, I'm like some kind of sky-riding cowboy or fallen angel with his crooked halo for a bracelet...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9481964-110261151981351446?l=unbleached.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://unbleached.blogspot.com/feeds/110261151981351446/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9481964&amp;postID=110261151981351446' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9481964/posts/default/110261151981351446'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9481964/posts/default/110261151981351446'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://unbleached.blogspot.com/2004/12/bare-on-cross.html' title='bare on the cross'/><author><name>Rebecca Galardo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05847012323284122922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9481964.post-110256342144422350</id><published>2004-12-08T22:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-12-08T19:39:49.136-08:00</updated><title type='text'>fucktard</title><content type='html'>KFC&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;me: "I'd like a number two."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;@$#%!: "Crispy or original."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;me: "Crispy."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;@$#%!: "Ok, well, we only have original right now."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;me: "Fine.

Nothing big or bad or great happened.  I don't know if it's a state of mind I get in or what, but it happens every month just about the time I go postal.  Doesn't matter what I do in the day, I dream about it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I had a dream last night that I was making buttons with a button making machine and it got taken away before I could think of anything cool to make.  Well I got pissed and ran out there (out where?  I don't know but I do, therefore it was "out there" ) screaming, but couldn't find the culprit (Little R). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I was outside and this HUGE lady with a red wig was yelling at me to get off the pedestal because Billie Jean was playing in the background (incidentally the song is what reminded me of this whole dream) and she said it was because I was standing there.  I was mad at her because I KNEW that it wasn't my fault.  So I got off and sure enough the music was still playing.  So we started yelling at God (which is funny because I'm more agnostic than anything) to "please stop the bad man's music."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay.  Not done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also dreamed of work and answering phones for the travel agents who had moved to the other side of the building (because we're expanding in RL) even though it technically wasn't ready.  In fact, it still looked like it does now.  Like a construction zone.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wasn't the actually receptionist anymore, I was the office manager, but I was doing her job which I guess made it still sort of mine.  I was running around frenetic like.  And the receptionist next door came out of the bathroom and was telling me some rumor that was about me.  It was an insult but also a complement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just don't remember what she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The damned phone calls kept waking me up (in RL) and when they finally stopped (in the dream) a large rabbit with a rat's face started chasing me.  When I got away it was to smoke a cigarette which was made of candy.  I don't smoke.  I dumped it in this water bottle, or so I thought.  When I looked down there was a fucking huge toad sitting there with a mouth the size of a punch bowl.  I got really scared and he started chasing me.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I turned around there was this pair of scissors chasing me instead and they were bigger than a car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I woke up to my dog's jowls on my face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9481964-110254661268331087?l=unbleached.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://unbleached.blogspot.com/feeds/110254661268331087/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9481964&amp;postID=110254661268331087' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9481964/posts/default/110254661268331087'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9481964/posts/default/110254661268331087'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://unbleached.blogspot.com/2004/12/anticipation.html' title='anticipation'/><author><name>Rebecca Galardo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05847012323284122922</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9481964.post-110253850488323198</id><published>2004-12-08T13:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-12-08T13:07:10.126-08:00</updated><title type='text'>journals, writing and the big fake O</title><content type='html'>Yeah, so empty notebooks and fresh pens and unique journals are for some reason things that catch my fancy.  Rough pages, odd covers, places for pictures to be pasted and all that jazz.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suppose it's the undiscovered journey of the blank pages, the possibility, the future inspiration that would incite one to fill those pages, the longing for future words penned in haste, anger, passion, anything.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's also something inside me that desires that flow, that 'writer's high' where you're inside the words, the world, the characters.  I love it and I live there.  The only truth I live with is the truth I write.  (Anyone can catch that, surely, when they realize that most all writers write is lies and I am one of them).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still don't know why anytime I am caught looking at journals at work I react as if I have been looking at porn.
