“Light of a Silhouette, [s]he’s insubordinate.”

sublimal-mind-trump-americaI know many people are sick of the election and now that it’s over, I cannot deny it. The results devastated me. In fact, I haven’t been able to do much until now. Well, I have gone to work and all, but I mean my creative juices were shot because I felt as though  I was lost. If I ever told anyone to just accept the results and move on, I’m sorry that I didn’t realize how you felt until now. Indeed, it super sucks! in-a-land-of-make-believeSo with the current agenda, I felt as though I was missing out on current events because I wasn’t an active Twitter user, so I decided to really understand Twitter after the results. I have concluded it pisses me off. It’s never been a social platform that was geared to me because of the character limit. The limit doesn’t piss me off, though. It’s the amount of bullshit, vitriol, and what the fuck moments  that spread like wildfires. shes-a-rebelAnd it pisses me off because it totally sucked me in. Not only on Twitter but chiming in on random articles that spoke to me. While me getting sucked in isn’t anyone’s fault but my own, it’s fucked up because I want to believe I can change it. Although, I did have a nice Twitter conversation with an opposite perspective. i-beg-to-dream-and-differ-from-the-hollow-liesShe popped my Twitter argument cherry. I appreciated that exchange because it felt like a genuine conversation. She was (is) an undercover Chop Zuey Moksha pearl. Did it convince me to use Twitter as the ultimate outlet for my real self? Uh, no. It’s too fucking weird out there right now. I think?dont-wanna-be-an-american-idiotMaybe it always was, and I was just naive. Maybe it isn’t, and it’s just the regular aftermath but in an online, thus all over the place, social networking environment. Regardless of what it is, I had to come back to my safe place. Silver lining? It’s selfish, so sorry bout that! I can safely say that I’m still a #nastywoman. Where that ideology takes me, well, “coming at you on the count of one two (one, two, three, four).” 😉

It’s too late for a work night, so this means I have already had a bad start to my Friday morning if I internalize the past 45 minutes.

dont-let-me-get-me

The future can be scary. Sometimes I psych myself out and think more about work than I’m paid for.  Don’t get me started on what I think about life about on a daily basis because I cannot define self-inflicted silliness.

I’m writing to you #NastyWoman. After the last and final presidential debate, I felt that spark.  I’ll probably write a long and rambling post about that moment of enlightenment. Apologies in advance.

The emotion is real, but the photo below isn’t reality. If it was real, I (Lisa Laylah) would be eye level with my husband (Kevin TacoLover). And the little cream chihuahua (Annabelle) would be loudly playfully barking in the tan chihuahua’s face (Loki).

Image Essentials’ “Love Everlasting” couple poses are the first of three in Kay Weston’s series and available at Designer Showcase for 150L apiece. The poses are modifiable so had I decided to take my real life height into Second Life, I would be eye to eye with Taco.

But, I’m short all real life day long, so I want to be an amazon in SL! Seriously, this set is really sweet. I love all poses, but sometimes I just want sweet, tender couple poses in SL that represent the vulnerability and faith real life relationships often have.

@TacoKevin, I’m sorry I forgot to mention my new shoes. If it helps, they are part of my upcoming birthday plan. @Reader, if you made it this far, thanks for listening.. 😉

How to learn from experience:”All [he] had to do was stay…”

This is a continuation of an earlier post.  My boss walked into my office in the middle of a Taylor Swift binge, so I shared why I appreciate her lyrics. I’m not sure he bought it, but I let him know that some of my favorite Swift songs have described some of my deepest and painful heartbreaks. Suddenly, I remembered heartbreak may be a natural occurrence.

how-to-learn-from-experience

In an earlier blog, I wanted to save my younger co-workers from heartbreak, but that’s not possible. They need it. I had it, and my breakups were tragic at the time.  Fast forward > I ended up with my hubby aka love of my life. Really, I think I needed to experience love lost because I don’t think it would have worked had I met my hubby earlier.

people-like-me-are-gone-forever-when-you-say-goodbye

In a breakup, the tunnel seems bleak, but there really is light at the end. Of course, we can’t see it until we reach the end.

The inspiration for this post was Swift’s song “All you had to do was stay.” It reminds me of my first heartbreak. We’ll call him AB. He was the start of my dark relationship tunnel and the only one who wanted to get back together after we broke up. Too much had happened in the meantime such as “picking up the pieces of the mess [he] made” and all I could think of was “but not like this.” Like I said…it seems dark, but keep moving. 😉

While many hard-working peeps are celebrating Labor Day, I am mourning the unofficial end of summer.

How to wear a skort

Before too long, the sun will set much earlier and I’ll have to pull my sun lamp out of storage. Las Vegas does not get terribly cold, but the sun sets around 4:30 PM and that is just too early for my taste and for my moods.

Labor Day 2016

I think Blac Label Boutique feels my pain and can’t embrace the Fall season just yet. Blac Quartz has an exclusive piece for Designer Showcase’s September round. It’s called Savage and is business up front and party in the back. So, if you can’t let go of summer quite yet, be a savage and hold on to the sun as long as you can.

One (1) More Day to go Around the World

Sascha’s Designs has an exclusive piece at Swank’s “Around the World” August round, and it is a symphony of brilliant colors and patterns.

Around the World

It actually has a shoulder decoration as well, but I opted to go strapless because I love the dainty ruffles around the bust.

One More Day

Now, since you only have one more day to go around the world, you better get hopping. Click here for your private jet.

Oops, I did it again: A Prozac Stipulation

Have you ever felt like you won the battle? I have. Have you ever realized that the battle only exists in your head? The odds must be in my favor because, again, I have.

Oops

Though, I should warn you. Winning a battle that was basically created in your head is satisfying, but a lonely experience if you need attention. Prozac does not solve everything.

I did it again

You see my problem is this
I’m dreaming away
Wishing that heroes, they truly exist
I cry, watching the days
Can’t you see I’m a fool in so many ways[?]

Yep, I’m a fool in that I want a hero (aka my hubby) to save me because I know at the end of the day, I have to save myself. Since I am the one who makes up my battles, it’s only fair, right? 😉

The danger of drifting: “Go away from me [and] leave me alone.”

This is what happens when I listen to 90’s music all night long. Total angst. Surely, I’m not the only one this happens to…right? I’ll have to test my hubby tomorrow. Stay tuned for results!

Drifting

Actually, he’ll never go for that. When he drifts, he listens to old country, and I can’t go for that lol.

Taking my time

At least we have nothing but time, and when you think about it, time is everything. 😉
