Sia

So, if you have watched the video for PostSecret, then you have heard that beautiful song that goes with it. It`s from a Seattle woman called Sia. I watched her other videos, quite interesting, but one in particular caught my eye. I liked the comments about it, and thought I would share the thing here because it is so bizarre. But I dig the idea that the woman can go beyond `being pretty in a video` to do something absolutely strange and playful. Enjoy. You may need to watch it several times in order to really appreciate it. :)



Yay for weird girls! We can be pretty, talented, AND out there!
Yeah. (Although I gotta say, I think I`d be too embarrassed to do this myself)

...dammit, I`ve had to replace this video since, and this one doesn't let you see the end. poo on you.

The reality

Hi!
Well then.
I have a new discovery. It`s called PostSecret, and it`s wonderfully painfully human, which is my favorite. Oh, us poor frail creatures... Anyway, I`ve just heard of it, and watched the video for the site before actually going there. (you can find it on youtube) I`ll not describe it much here except to say that it seems very inspirational, and I find myself touched by the amount of authenticity that pours forth. It`s human pain, and it`s very evident in some of these secrets; I find that it brings us closer somehow. I`m recognizing that my powers of description are off at the moment, so ill just stop here. But check it out if you have never. http://postsecret.blogspot.com/

oh, this...

Oh, my poor little bloggy thing, I have forgotten you.
I burst in on this thing with no purpose and left you alone to forget yourself.
I am sorry.
I have wandered away to other things and places. And I see you sitting here alone and feel saddened... so sorry. But I do not know if I have what it takes to keep you alive. Most other people have all these wonderful things to say, to contribute, to enlighten us about.
And I don't think I have anything like that.
In my other wanderings I found a place that held alot of promise. But I am finding that my head is up against the wall there, as much as it was here. I guess I just don't know where to put myself. I am trying to be on this dammed `healing journey`, and I am clueless about how to go about it. I so just want to get it all out, but feel that to do so would be to burden someone else with this shit, and I would never want to do that. Or maybe I'm just scared to. I am just a big scaredy cat. but lost, where do i go? maybe searching more? there is a whole world out there, and I am surely limiting myself to stay in these shallow little ponds...
I don't know. but i will be back here, if only to remind myself.
bye.
I have this huge craving to get into the doom and darkness, and the Type O Negative of it all. Careful not to wallow too deep...
