Life or Something Like It

Life SHOULD NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well- preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally WORN out and screaming "WOO HOO - WHAT A RIDE!!!"

Amy Winehouse

They have found through research (they being Dr. Michael Gumert, a primatologist at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore) that monkeys actually "pay" for sex.

I am completely fascinated with this. The males actually groom the females, hoping to have sex for it, and the females are 3 times more likely to give them sex if they were groomed. And the males are less interested in grooming the females if there is an abundance of females.

Fascinating.

Once again, sex is just sex, and its natural to want it and to find any way to get it. Very cool study.

Okay, new subject. Amy Winehouse. I keep hearing about her, how great she is, picked up on the vibe that she was a little controversial, and knew she was a singer and had lots of ink. But that was about it. I actually heard her today, for the first time ( I know, where have I been) and it was one of those pivotal, sentinel moments where I was just in musical and sensual nirvana. This also happened with Diana Krall when Royce introduced me to her. But it was much more intense with Amy. Oh my god she is a goddess of soul. Gut-wrenching, center of your heart, orgasmic naked SOUL. One of those people that any bad thing she does can be overlooked because of who she is and her amazing contribution to our quality of life ( kinda like Tommy Lee in my mind - heroin junkie, not so bright, wife beater - yeah, I'm still not worthy, We're not worthy Wayne). I am completely fascinated with her. Can't get enough. And, this may sound really arrogant of me, and I'm not trying to sound like that, but I see SO much of myself in her and her music. I watch her and listen to her, and feel like its me. It makes me miss my music so much. She sounds black. I remember when Mr. Leukert told me I sang like a black girl. I had no idea what a compliment that was back then. I remember covering his little window to his office so no one could see me when I was singing cause I was so insecure about it - and I could actually sing. Just didn't know it back then. I miss it so much. She sounds like Ella Fitsgerald and Aretha Franklin. Feel like I need a cigarette after listening to her, and I don't smoke. And so then I research her a little and learn of all the bad things happening to her - her husband in jail (I still don't know why), how her husband is an idiot and voted worst husband ever (but she looks really happy with him - don't think I ever looked that happy with Kirk), how she is a drug addict and alcoholic ( see, look, there's Barb again), and was going to tour with the Rolling Stones last year but at the last minute had to pull out because of a drug overdose (I think heroin - which is the devil of all drugs, I know this), and how she had to spend Christmas and New Year's alone, her friends even bailed on her and Bryan Adams and Mick Jagger have kind of taken her under their wings. She seems like this lost, hurting, wild soul. And boy does is show up in her voice. Naked. So utterly naked she sings. And I'm fascinated. Completely sucked in by her. I want to be her - and at the same time know part of me is her. Love her. LOVE HER. I feel like a cross between her and Diana Krall. I know they are way more talented and beautiful than me, but hey, I see myself so much. I love the song "Rehab". And I also heard that she covers Janis Joplin, "Me and Bobby McGee" and "Piece of My Heart" - which I can only assume are amazing.

Here, take a look and a listen:
