Tay Tay's Clever

Pop stars are definitely...  I'd say "Masks of the Gnosis".  That's just how I talk, apparently.  Masks of the Gnosis.  Stained glass windows -- that kind of thing.

Taylor Swift has come a hell of a long way from her American "pop country" roots, by the way.  I mean, wow.




I've heard this before, but I didn't even know it was one of hers.

Miss Tay Tay is certainly adaptive.  Aren't we all?  We do what's necessary for survival.  Life is a strange thing.  We find people we love and we fight for their survival too. That battle changes people.

I'm not sure, but I think when this music was new they called it "alternative".

I find THIS to be a very refreshing take on the "complicated relationships", "will they or won't they get back together?" songwriting genre.



It IS very depressing and ends on a sad note, though...  so I'm also adding a video where they struggle to perform it live on stage with a straight face, and he actually bursts out laughing at least once, and he does this annoying silly dance the whole time.

There's careful steps involved with oceans. There is no getting back together in a sexual sense.

I don't really enjoy that, but ok.



For what it's worth, I can hear the curses clearly but they're not really aimed at me.

Don't fight fire with fire.  I'm going away so you can figure yourself out.  I encourage some degree of caution.  But whatever you do is entirely up to you and carries its own outcomes.

If you do it right fire respects fire and the fighting is optional.

Fire, per se, is not optional.

It's also standard operating procedure that after the Vision of the Angel you have to bind all the demons it attracts before the Angel leaves you alone with them.  I mean, c'mon.  Keep up.

I have... excuse me if I lapse into the poetic for a moment...

I have done this a million times in a million worlds.  And I am still here to dialogue about it.

And seriously, I even really like you, but it's getting a little patronizing that you think this is a guided meditation.

I think breaking down all of politics, religion, science, culture, and philosophy into essentially gang related violence is incredibly stupid and a waste of time and life, first of all.  Let me just get that out of the way right now.

Do whatever you want.  Don't let me stop you.  Continue to repeat history, scale it up even.  I don't care at this point.  I don't control you.  Harmonize or don't.  I won't stand in your way. Enjoy your free will and the first amendment. I hope it brings you the glory you seek.

It will.  But not for very long.

SOMEONE has to do this or no one will do this.

If my time investment worries you, I'm actually doing this at work because it's really slow on the weekends and it's actually a win for me all around.

Eh.  

I'll get the popcorn.  This will be fun to watch.

I really, really, really, want to say something sentimental about being on the same side at least, but I can't because sides are stupid.  The whole thing is just this awkward phase you just have to get through, like a hurricane.

It turns out, as a general principle applying to all levels of reality, that not every acorn gets to be an oak tree.  And something must be done about all the acorns.

It's just so much easier to accept this patriarchal model where Light conquers Darkness and then all we have to do is go out and conquer some Darkness.

It just doesn't work, though.

I'm currently nailing down the concepts for future creative writing projects, so yes, enjoy your popcorn.  I'm here to entertain you.

Which is also to say: mesmerize, educate, amaze, and delight.

Politicians don't even write their own speeches.  Pop idols don't write their own songs.

Soldiers do fight their own wars, however.  That's a significant difference.

What would you tell a 13 year old girl who wanted to grow up and be famous like Taylor Swift?

Do you have like, a 30-second elevator pitch for things like that?
