R.I.P.

You were the best thing that ever happened to me
and then you weren't.

As I Lay Dying

You kissed me with lying lips

Your hands traveled my body
and I swear I felt the others

They hang on
still
and as the sweat of your palms moistened my skin
like tears
I died inside all over

I think I've died eight times with you already...

You relaxed me with practiced words

Your mouth moved
and I swear I heard the others

I heard them moaning with passion
as you beamed inside with pleasure

Was it amazing?
Each time, was it a fantastic thing--
worth every second?

What went on inside that head as you dug inside with your heartless love?
What happened to your heart as you made your way to another home that wasn't mine?

You may never be the same to me again
and I wonder
what am I going to do about it?

Catwalking

I spent the last couple months stuck on a show I despised at first.
Spent my Wednesday nights glued to my seat, eyes to the screen.
She is probably the most fiercest black woman in the world
and her show is America's Next Top Model.
I never thought the show was for me, but boy was I wrong.
Go Tyra.

So, tonight, my favorite took the crown home.
She's got that odd look about her
and she doesn't really seem like the classic winner type
but of course
she is
and look at her...

Here is how she looked when she started out...

And right beside you'll see one of her final photos.

Ah-may-zing.

Here is McKey.

O My Soul

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. I have done a most horrific deed. Well, actually, the thing is this—it’s what I have not done that is the horrific sin. I’ll state my case...

She is now a glam, goth chick
with eyes that sparkle
and hair so straight it can cut

The voice is impeccable still
but the sound is a waste

It’s nothing new
she took a bite from the lesser ones
and forged an overdid beat
or racket, if you will

Still, she parades
in high heels
the (self proclaimed)
super bitch
mimicking her own octaves on an offed mic

How dare she?

And we all thought she was going the mighty way.

But,
no.

And for these reasons, Sir, my sin is this:

I did not go spend $9.98 at the ever-red store for Christina Aguilera’s new disc on Tuesday.

Why?

Because I’m mad!

And although I've got every set she's ever put out
burned track after track after track on my poor little radio
I won't support this.

You Are Glasses

What a mess.

Yesterday we all found out that Brooke Smith, the actress who plays Dr. Erica Hahn on Grey's Anatomy, was unfairly, surprisingly, and rather mistakenly fired from the show. According to Shonda Rhimes, Grey's creator and Executive Producer, the character of Dr. Hahn was not worth salvaging because they did not think she'd be an asset to the show in the long run.

Such bullshit.

Each week, Hahn has been such a grand force. This is just another example of how ridiculous the show is getting. Be prepared for a slew of new characters to come barging in now.

Here is Brooke Smith as Dr. Hahn in one of the finest scenes in Grey's history. It just screams Emmy.
