I know there's a blue horizon, somewhere up ahead just waiting for me...

Let it be...

And when the brokenhearted people living in this world agree
There will be an answer - let it be...
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer - let it be...

And when the night is cloudly
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow... let it be.

NOTE:  I'm not doing this to join the masses or be a follower.  I am doing it because I actually do care.  I don't understand any kind of bullying - whether it's cyber bullying, in your face, through the internet, at work or at home.  There is no need for any of it.  And PARENTS:  Please, teach your kids about love, tolerance and respect for others, regardless of how different they are than you.  I truly believe that IT ALL STARTS IN THE HOME. 

Let's do our parts to put an end to it.  It all starts with US.

When I was in middle school, I was bullied by a girl - and for the life of me, I can't even remember her name.  She was a girl that looked like a dude dressed in sheeps clothing.  Me - I was just your average nerdy asian girl - totally cool but uncool all in one.  At the time I moved here, there were only a handful of asians in our city and the ones that were here were honor roll Einstein incredibly smart ass asian kids.  Not me.  I was smart, but not asian smart (as I hear it being called).  So this girl, noticed I was different than the other asians.  She relished in publicly humiliating me during lunch or any time she had an audience.  "How do you see?" she'd always ask, referring to my slanted slits.  I always knew when I answered, I was in for a world of hurt because I never hid my attitude and my "Oh-you-so-stupid" face.  "Uhh... with my eyes, you moron."  She'd always come back with something about how my peripheal vision must be different than white people or people with "normal eyes".  And then she would always conclude our friendly conversation with harsh pushes until I fell onto the ground with everyone around me pointing and laughing, or gawking... or back me up into the wall as she'd hover over me and scream in my ear, spitting in my face as she threw out racial slurs and banter.

It only lasted a school year, thank God.  I had a couple of near fights with her - which would've ended tragically on my end, with me being 80 lbs dripping wet and her being a solid 140.  Yes.  She towered over me in height and weight.  But that year was a horrible one.  Truly.  I used to dodge her when I'd see her walking, just to try and avoid her.  Thank God we didnt' have any of the same classes.  Just the same lunch. 

Had it continued further, I don't know how I would've lasted.  I was an insecure little thing, and as everything goes in middle school, you are how people see you.

But then she went away.  And I lived happily ever after in my middle school years.

Now high school... I was a terror.  Me in my thigh highs, shit kicking dock martens, the red plaid schoolgirl pleated skirts and a leather jacket, I was hell on wheels. 

 

BUT THAT, is another story.

I watched Inception about 4 or 5 days ago... and it's had my head pretty jacked up since then.

First off... the story was so freakin unbelievable... I just can't even get over it.  This movie seriously blew my mind.  Like, totally fucked my brains.  And I liked it - NO, LOVED it.  Like, hardcore, dirty, ghosts in the closet sex that makes your toes curl and your back arch.  For reals.  It was that extreme... Yet, I was left with just one question.

WHAT.
THE.
FUCK.
JUST.
HAPPENED???

My dreams have been all crazy, freaky weird too.  Random shit, like stairs that continue to go up in circles but don't have a beginning or end.  And infinite space.  And walking on sideways streets.  And entirely combustible sidewalk markets.  And people with faces that change.  BUT...

most importantly...


My husband is super studly in this movie... and I got to eye-sex him for two and a half whole hours!

as well as Joseph Gordon-Levitt - a future husband of mine since I loved him so much in 500 days of summer and now this movie.  Yes... he's always been cute as a boy, then a teen actor.  But as of late, I've been seeing him AS A MAN.  And he's oober edible!

So... all in all... This movie was mindblowing and deep.  It makes you think - YES - you actually have to use your brain when you watch this movie.  It's Vanilla Sky meets the Matrix.  It's been a long time since I've been so affected by such a concept.

"I don't let anyone touch me," I finally said.

"Why not?"

"Why not? Because I was tired of men. Hanging in doorways, standing too close, their smell of beer or fifteen-year-old whiskey. Men who didn't come to the emergency room with you, men who left on Christmas Eve. Men who slammed the security gates, who made you love them then changed their minds. Forests of boys, their ragged shrubs full of eyes following you, grabbing your breasts, waving their money, eyes already knocking you down, taking what they felt was theirs. (...) It was a play and I knew how it ended, I didn't want to audition for any of the roles. It was no game, no casual thrill. It was three-bullet Russian roulette."
