"A Beautiful Mess"
You've got the best of both worlds You're the kind of girl who can take down a man, And lift him back up again You are strong but you're needy, Humble but you're greedy And based on your body language, And shoddy cursive I've been reading Your style is quite selective, though your mind is rather reckless Well I guess it just suggests that this is just what happiness is
Hey, what a beautiful mess this is It's like picking up trash in dresses
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write Kind of turn themselves into knives And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction But I like being submerged in your contradictions, dear 'Cause here we are, here we are
Although you were biased I love your advice Your comebacks ‒ they're quick And probably have to do with your insecurities There's no shame in being crazy, Depending on how you take these Words that paraphrasing this relationship we're staging
And what a beautiful mess, yes it is It's like picking up trash in dresses
Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say Kind of turn themselves into blades And the kind and courteous is a life I've heard But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt 'Cause here, here we are, here we are Here we are [x7]
We're still here What a beautiful mess this is It's like taking a guess when the only answer is "Yes"
Through timeless words and priceless pictures We'll fly like birds not of this earth
And tides ‒ they turn ‒ and hearts disfigure But that's no concern when we're wounded together
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts But it's nice today. Oh, the wait was so worth it.
OMG I LOVE Halloween. It's great because it's a time of year when it's okay to be dark, eerie, and into like cruising by the Hollywood Cemetery. (Honestly, I enjoy being edgy, mysterious, and chilling at the cemetery throughout the year, but Halloween just makes everything better.) I recently checked out this AMAZING Halloween special written by Mr. Sawyer Hartman. I like it a lot because the story is totally eerie. Check it:
We went to a really dope Halloween party at my friend from Hinsdale's house out here in the Hollywood Hills. It's so crazy how a handful of wonderful Hinsdale people have ended up out in the Hollywood Hills :) and that makes me incredibly happy. I'm so happy to be able to connect with great people in the City of Angels. So the party was rad. The Schude brothers went all out. They have an awesome house and jammed out with a live band, stilt walkers, fire-eaters, and much more dark Halloween mayhem. In the meantime, I've been rockin' "BITTEN" by Wet Paint, the new Hollywood hip nail polish brand, unlike any other, which includes bases and glazes to create multitudinous colors.
A few weeks ago, I attended The Pool Boys movie premiere with Talon Reid, one of my favorite Young Hollywood best buddies. We had SUCH a fun night! Talon knows everyone and I know a lot of people, so it was great to run into so many fun different kinds of people. We sat with Tom Arnold and he is a riot. He not only was fun to be around, but he MADE the movie. Matthew Lillard looks so sharp. Wow, what a great-looking guy, who really takes care of himself. mmmmm SCREAM :) :)
Not long ago, Talon hosted a really nice charity event at his uncle's house in the hills, for a solid charity called The Dream Again Campaign. Talon and I are both philanthropists for Dream Again and please check it ;) Through this campaign, we are working to end human trafficking.
Anyway, I've been super busy lately with lots of fun events and work. I'm trying to lay low and become more underground because going to all of the events can become super overwhelming and time consuming. It often steals my focus from creative work. On the other hand, many of the events I attend are interesting and inspiring. Moreover, I enjoy supporting good work. For example, I recently attended my friend, Illeana's premiere for her hilarious show, "Easy to Assemble." It was great to support her and meet a lot of her friends. Illeana Douglas is sharp, sweet, and extremely zealous. In addition, I attended the "Dirty Girl" movie premiere in Hollywood a few weeks ago. That was a really special night because the director, Abe Sylvia and some of the cast shared some intimate moments and it was quite moving. Furthermore, Jeremy Dozier is a bright new talent and I adore Juno Temple!
On a side note, I want to share with you my secret training ground. BHP aka Beverly Hills Playhouse It's wonderful because it's a safe place where I can grow and learn as an artist. I love the vibe at the BHP.
Let me be your angel let me take away your pain Let me be your angel let me take away your pain
5AM is not to late to see your face I would change anything Just to take you back I would give you everything Just to take you back
Let me be your angel let me take away your pain Let me be your angel let me take away your pain
I'm pouring myself another drink I don't want to think about youuuuuuuuu about you anymore youuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Let me be your angel let me take away your pain Let me be your angel let me take away your pain Let me be your angel

When Love is a mutual escape it is unreal. Love becomes a force field, so that when you are with the other person, you feel as though you are literally in your own world.
I wrote this song last summer and performed two different versions of it at House of Blues, Sunset in two completely different shows I put up. I performed an acoustic version one night and another version with my rock band.
I couldn't help but notice when I googled, "Virgin Blog" or anything of the sort, horrible pornographic websites come up...Really? How is this possible? Why is no one blogging about virginity, soul mates, and waiting for the one? In my whole life, I've always saved the best for last...why do I feel alone in waiting for true love?
My best friend from Loyola Marymount, Jeanette, is a virgin and it feels good to know there are people out there with high standards. J and I clicked right away. We both believe in love and soulmates. :) Jeanette is a gorgeous, brilliant girl. She's saving herself for the one.
Love is patient.
