I always thought if you wanted something done right..... no one can do it better than yourself. I have been let down over and over again by so many. People are always going to let you down, its a part of life. So then i realize the only way to achieve perfection is if you do it yourself. So then no matter how imperfect it is, you know no one can do it better.....The only person who can satisfy you in the end is yourself...

anyways....

I dont know why but whenever I am in the car with my dad i tend to see this outside my window.. I'd imagine all the houses turns into tall buildings and the building turning into even taller buildings haha.. I love new york. This is where I am planing to move ever since i was 11... I remember at 11 years, my entire family, or "circus" (as I would have said back then) was going camping. And it was Victoria's day I think... whatever. But it was close to midnight and all these fireworks started exploding in the sky...it was like skittles or some shit..I remember kids lighting up boxes and boxes of fireworks and 19 year olds all wearing these TONS and TONS of glow necklaces and holding glow sticks...
And i hated it. Hated fireworks... So then my cousin came up to me and asked me "why do you look so sad?" and i replied, "because i dont like fireworks." I remember her looking at me like i had just totally lost my mind. At 11, if you didnt like fireworks in my family, it meant something was wrong with you... I never got that haha...
Anyways, she asked me "why?" looking confused as hell... and I told her, "because all the pretty colors go away" hahaha. And so, from that day on I wanted to live in New York because all the lights at night reminds me of that days firework. Except I dont get sad because unlike all those fireworks I know that all those lights will never go away!
so much glamour there...gives me the chills...

OH speaking of glamour.... studio 54<3>
