lately, i can't seem to stop thinking about the famous quote by the beautiful and inspirational, sensational marilyn monroe:
"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
while searching for the exact wording of that particular quote i had in mind, i stumbled upon a plethora of other lovely quotes that i didn't even know she ever said. granted, they're all full of wise words. that woman knew what she was talking about. embrace your souls, minds, and curves ladies.
more marilyn quotes below... the next one is my new favorite:
"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."
"A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left."
"I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love."
"Who said nights were for sleep?"
"This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."
"If I'd observed all the rules I'd never have got anywhere."
"I don't want to make money, I just want to be wonderful."
"Love and work are the only two real things in our lives. They belong together, otherwise it is off. Work is in itself a form of love."
"Well behaved women rarely make history."
thank you marilyn monroe.
in the meantime, SAN FRANCISCO, please send me your wonderful warehouse vibes!!! grant, ryan, and myself are avidly searching for a creative live/work space in SF.
we've been searching online and begun spreading the word. things have taken some [interesting] turns and twists. we're meeting [interesting] people along the way.
but how, exactly, will we make this dream a reality? we're ready to be even more of a major contribution to this city. build new creative networks, and work with the existing ones. i want to be a part of the 2011 and beyond SF art and music scene. this potential creative space will allow us all to do this more expansively, with intentions to be something bigger.
this space needs to be affordable. and/or we need to find investors and grants to support the cause. or find a place that will legally let us squat?
does that even make sense?
personally, i want to relive the andy warhol factory dream to some degree. i want to have a place for my friends and fellow artists/musicians/poets/filmmakers to gather, create, inspire, and promote one another.
we all have valuable assets to offer one another. we're all capable of forming something bigger, something greater than what we already have. this is one of the immediate major long-term goals that i and a few others have in mind right now.
san francisco, please, i'm begging you, please help me turn this dream into a reality. i know it's possible. i know that we can do it together, if we try. that one particular perfect person... that i need to meet... is out there..... somewhere.
we're moving out of the battlepad on 30th ave & taraval april 30th.
it's april 1st (errr 2nd) right now. i hope i look back on this post at the end of the month and sigh with a laugh of relief knowing that the future is brilliant, bright, and exciting.
i hope that we can find this creative live/work space in the next month...
ambitious?
