Great Journey, Great loss...
"From the moment we are born, we begin to die." - Janne Teller
It's already the end of March and feel like I've already gone through some great experiences. I begin to realize more and more as I progress in life that a great journey in life will always have great loss. We are dying the moment that we are born.
Yesterday I went with sekiria, and trippettarue to a clothing release party at Macy's for Madonna's Junior Material Girl line. sekiria's sister organized it and there was free booze and free food. For a fashion party event that's 80s themed, never have I ever seen so many boring looking people all in one place. Besides the food and the photo booth, the clothes featured was not bad and I was surprised at how reasonably priced everything was. Kelly Osbourne was also there as a guest speaker as she is the new model for the clothing line.
Anyway, they had some Q&As, gift card give aways, a fashion run down... it was alright. Couldn't really see anything and I didn't want to push through the crowds. The one great thing about the event was all the free photos we could take thanks to hdphotobooth. The photo booth guys were really awesome! He helped out with some fun poses after he realized that I was already making goofy faces at the camera. I think an androgenous 80's photoshoot is something that I need to do in the near future.
Besides perhaps the free food, looking at clothes, and the photo booth the only savoring moment from that event was the announcer who saw me as I left did a double take, smiled, pointed at my (and did that whole circling of the outfit) and said, "Oh my god, I love your style!" It's awesome when someone as fashionable as the announcer compliments you. At least I did my job of dressing up in 80s wear!
After the Macy's event, we had dinner at Mr. Pizza. I really enjoyed the sweet potato in the crust... we had the Yukon gold pizza. The menu at that restaurant is very bizarre...

After Mr. Pizza, we stopped by a local liquor store to pick up some booze, drop Nicole home and headed over to Hollywood. Who would have thought after nearly a decade of going to Perversion that it would finally come to an end. What will those Thursday nights be filled with? I had a lot of fun, and it filled me with nostalgia reminiscing the first time I had ever been to Perversion. I didn't even know how to dance the dance... and now I'd like to think that I'm a reasonable goth industrial dancer.
It made me realize today, over the course of these past months that in my journey in life I have had great loss. I began to think about the loss of Perversion at the Ruby, the loss of Arcade Infinity, the loss of Wicked Grounds. I also begin to think about change, moving along in life, progressing and finding that I also have begun to lose other things to move forward. A change of interests, a change of friends (perhaps even a loss of friends), a change of interests (a loss of other interests) and it is this continuous cycle that we live in.
Anyway... just some thoughts on my mind. I'm going to go practice horn before heading off to spin class.
Finally on a completely unrelated note, I liked this piece that I heard on the radio:
Michael Torke: Bright Blue Music
