We are all, each and everyone of us, fragile creatures. Broken and bent long before we've put the toys of childhood aside. We wake each morning with dread and anticipation. We make choices. We make goals. We celebrate triumphs and suffer defeats. This is story of our human family.

But it is just a story.

Excellent motto, Phatima. I lend my energies from a distance.

LOL...We're fucked up and we're pretty...that makes me smile goofily.

That sums it up so well. Not only are we fucked up but we have been fucked with and fucked over and we are still standing here...standing here laughing at those that would stop the laughter and the craziness that is life.....

Thanks Phatima, you are Phat for sure.

Fucked up and pretty?

Doesn't this describe the color of a shattered mosaic, half covered in vines of flowering honeysuckle.

A ruined church, overtaken and softened by natural growth and decay, becoming like a walled secret garden.

Even forgotten factory warehouses deep in disuse and decay become stately, solemn, surreal, magickal places.

Like these things...

We all try to be something, something so far out of our reach,

We all fall short of what we want, landing hard, breaking into peices in anguish and frustration.

We all transform this pain, get up, dust ourselves off, and make the best of where we are, it is here that we become so much more than what we ever could have intended to be.

That's all I have to say really, yeah I feel fucked up and pretty right now, or can I say... broken but still with my dignity and self worth intact.

"... fluffy fucked up fun and change OUR bubble we call San Francisco"

Sounds great. A few ideas/reactions:

1) "We're fucked up and we're pretty." Would like to see that in neon.

2) "... can affect change with humor" Planning on moving from SoCal to SF. Why, you ask? Because female car park attendants in San Fernando are known as valet girls.

3) Would like to contribute to SF bubble with my bubble machine. On a nice day with a mild breeze, it's fun to park near the ocean & run it in my car with the top off. Kids & beach folks love it!!

Me likey. I am feeling more fucked up and prettier with each passing day.

Broken is beautiful!

I will gladly take command of the Northwest under that banner!

as a non san francisco person, i can personally testify that the outside world has its flaws to some extent, but pennsylvania, oh pennsylvania, home of ground hogs, is positively stellar.

:-P

East Coast here. Upstate NY

Yep, whenever someone says I'm insane, the reply is:
"Excuse me, I think you have *me* confused with the world."

Onward with the Love Crusade! It's the only way!
As my friend JD says, it's all about the love.
