You posses them, yet I suffer their consequences.
Envy joy, stomp on it, in hopes to feel better about yourself. Who knows, maybe you can create a putty out of it and use it to fill the chip on your shoulder.
Be a glutton of fun, like a vampire draws blood, so you draw smiles and leave the carcasses strewn in a gutter. You wear the smiles like a mask, even when it’s not Halloween.
Lust after sincere passion and mock it at every opportunity. If you vandalize it, the graffiti will leave ugly marks. Mission accomplished.
Take pride in your supposed ‘superiority’, judge everyone by your criterion, and be proud that you're not like them, even though we both know the world would be a better place if you were.
Exercise sloth as frequently as possible, breathe it in as if it’s air. It's easier to play the part of black swan anyway.
You want it all. From ideas to couture, your greed has no boundaries. But even if it was all given to you, it wouldn’t be enough, for you, nothing ever is.
Your pseudo smile doesn’t fool me. Your garden may be beautiful but your house’s interior is hideous. Your negative thoughts are kindling for a fire of anger. Though you may try to cover the boiling pot with a lid, it's bound to overflow. And when it does, your fingers will burn.
Although their nomenclature is the '7 Deadly Sins', one would assume the possessor of said sins would be the sufferer too. Yet the opposite is true.
Others are the casualties in the battle of Good vs. Evil....
Evil will always win, and that’s all you want anyway.
Enjoy your victory, just be sure to dress lightly for the victory party, it will be hot there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nk8RJxZQEs

TOO MUCH pepper in my sushi
Yes, I’ve heard:
PAN
METRON
ARISTON
everything
in
moderation
In a world where we are taught to believe, more is more.
Achieve,
Consume,
Pursue,
Why do we feel sick when we’ve had too much? Shouldn’t evolution have come up with some kind of fix for that?
A dichotomous life; the dogma of ‘want more -do more’ and the negative consequences of ‘overindulgence reality’....
What’s a girl to do?
Retail therapy won’t help,
Nor will a massage,
Even a mani-pedi can’t do the trick....
When we go on our final journey, what will matter?
Lennon writes it best.
'It’s easy...
Love, love, love...'
domo arigato kuro koshou
nobody puts baby in a corner
Oh, and don’t you step on my blue suede shoes!
Well, it’s one for the hypocrisy
Two for the selfishness and indifference
Three to get enough material to talk behind someone’s back, laugh and then feel yourself superior
And FOUR ....to wake up!
If the sun revolved around people, it certainly wouldn’t be you.
If we were to replace the inner core of the Earth, you wouldn’t be positioned in its stead.
And if you took even one moment to be empathetic, perhaps you would be human.
Alas, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
I’m sure you’d try to eat mine if you could....but I ain’t sharrin doll! Not anymore at least.
For every 1 bad deed, 13.764 good acts become null and void.
Do the math smartass...
What do ‘Dirty Dancing’ and ‘Elvis’ have in common?
An active pelvis...c’est ca!

Equilibrium
All signs of a healthy equilibrium.
But what about when we rely too much on ‘this’, or too little on ‘that’?
W H A T happens when E q UiLIB r Iu m is destroyed, bankrupt, abandoned?
You’ve obviously Let go. Opened up. Risked.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. If you venture more than you gain, will you be reimbursed?
In times of assets; bliss, joy, amour!
Alternately there are always liabilities in the forecast: f u c k y o u.
But it’s the liabilities which make us great. They are the foundations of a noble character, the supporting wall for depth...what’s more ... without them, I’d be y a w n .... four walls, each the same size, the shape of you.
this=that
just be sure that the ratio isn’t 40:60,,,,,,,or you may infringe on the static, competitive, general, partial, or recursive equilibrium theories, and then what will become of you? The mathematical black hole may not seem menacing...but it is.
I guess I should keep a flashlight handy, because frankly I never was any good at math....

Time waits for no-one
Our whole lives we’ve been taught, ‘Don’t put off till later what you can do right now’. Again, the wisdom of ages at work to protect newbies from a life of missed deadlines and over-due fees.
Procrastinate, put off, delay, postpone, adjourn, dally, defer, dawdle...potato ...change the name if you wish the end result is constant. Act II Scene II Romeo and Juliet, ‘What's in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet.’
With a philosophy similar to that of Nike, ‘Just Do It’ but with a uniquely Greek twist to it, “Just Do It, Later’ trouble is bound to ensue. Of course in Canada this is something that you can get away with. Gas tank almost empty? It’s okay gas stations are open 24 hours, you’ll never run out of gas, and hell, if you do, there’s CAA. In Greece however, it’s a whole different ballgame. Things close without warning, and close often, there’s apparently a holiday every other week, and stores, banks, transportation and other things we humans have come to depend on have no regimented schedule, everything is left to work as the wind.
Wind is lucky, it comes and goes as it pleases, takes what it wants with it, when it gets bored, it leaves them randomly, without a second thought. Wind doesn’t pay rent, or for internet, nor does wind have to be at work at any specific time. The wind doth blow, but life doesn’t have to.
The things I’ve put off get done in haste, if at all. A job well done requires time. A life well lived requires action. Take the time to plan actions because there isn’t always a later. When later becomes tomorrow, next week, in a month and it will eventually be never.
Tic
Toc
The arms of a clock are relentless, unless of course you postponed getting a new battery.

COCO had her Venus in Leo too!
I always knew I was a dilettante, but only recently can I prove it.
Astrology-Astronomy-Astrophysics, all scientifically proven. Right?
Recently I had my horoscope/zodiac analyzed and low and behold I’m not the boring ‘Cancer’ I once thought. My horoscope is more complex than nuclear physics and luckier than a four leafed clover. If only I understood what it all means. Apparently I have a triangle with 120 degrees which is quite balanced and in all my planets I’ve been blessed. Not a square 90 degree in sight. Phew!
Moreover my Venus is in ‘Leo’, and this is good, better than good, great! I’m also among good company, none other than Coco Chanel and Madonna are in the ranks.
If your Venus is in ‘Leo’, it means: (About.com Astrology) With Venus in the sign of Leo, you radiate warmth and if you're not confident in love matters, you'll fake it 'til you make it. You've got a regal bearing and can be generous, affectionate and playful. Your persona is delightfully dramatic, and this can lend an air of excitement to your relationships.
If you ignore the fact that today it started to pour rain subsequently after I hung my laundry out to dry, that I dropped the iron on my foot and that I’ve fallen madly in love with a figment of my imagination (all part of having Venus in Leo), I’m FABULOUS, just like Coco and Madge. Maybe even better because I'm alive and not a grey in sight ;)
