Smokey Joe by Tori Amos has been in my head for a solid week. so really this should be my quote of the week. however, in an attempt to exorcize this demon, i put it on paper.
well, figuratively anyway.
if you are unfamiliar with Tori and her current album American Doll Posse (and quite frankly, out of the loop...), she often takes on the guise of the women who are (yes, are) her songs. in this album she just spelled it out for everyone. there are sides of her identity that present themselves when the situation warrants. these women are her posse, and they are
Pip
Santa
Tori
and Clyde.
they all have their own special talents, and their own blogs. for more info, ask me or check out the toriphoria page http://www.yessaid.com/ also: http://toriamos.com and http://www.undented.com/ .

Smokey Joe you're calling at the station
"if I kill him there are complications"
i did not ask for this
"oh, but Love, yes you did"
maybe it terrifies me
this quiet siege
maybe it terrifies me
it's too easy
it's too easy
to wish you harm
you through black ice
at the bottom of the river
Smokey Joe, hey, what's a revelation
"that one's past is not a destination
it is a road for fools
who need empty approvals"
my dark twin
the annihilating Feminine
does not need
civilizing
...maybe it terrifies me
it's too easy to wish you harm...
...Smokey Joe is calling at the station...
for a reason, coincidence or otherwise, i started my walk with Smokey Joe shortly after my annoying, needy, self-centered ex text me yet again. every time i think of him or hear of him it makes me smile to think of his misery. and “maybe it terrifies me” that i can imagine such cruelty. or maybe i revel in it? either way i can’t really spend the time worrying about him and that past.
its time to work on my own karma... and if that means to stop wishing a pox on his head... guess i could try?

Yeah! A new post! I actually looked up some of Tori's live concerts on YouTube. I was really impressed, she is definitely talented.
Oh I can jump on the boat with pet peeves about friends. So, know what you are talking about and so annoying!
Hope all is well!
That is really cool. You know that I'm not that into Tori, not because I don't think that she might be one of the most talented artist out there, because I have always thought that. It's just that I'm to shallow to listen to anything that doesn't maintain my attention like an ADD child. Sorry, I know you are disappointed, but I always thought it was better to be brutally honest than perfectly fake. Keep writing it's interesting.
