Reality Bites: 2013 Over & Out

We've all seen the movie.  We all remember, Squeeze singing Tempted.   "I said to my reflection, let's get out of this place".  The song is about one thing and this past year is not about fruit.  

Unless we are referring to me as fruit and since there is no "we" writing this...let's not call me fruit.  I will go in and out of first, second, third, and most likely fifth person during this blog journey...TRUST me, it's a gift.  If you do not listen to one video or read this entire blog...do me one favor and make sure you listen to the last video from start to finish.  It's time.

I have been stuck on the line, "I said to my reflection, let's get out of this place".  TRUTH is, it's a direct reference or reflection (no pun intended) of the past year.




The Movie, Reality Bites has a sound track that parallels the heights, the valleys, and the pure shoulder bearing burden of feeling and lack there of for the year of 2013.  Crazy, because the movie came out when I was 16 years old, almost 20 years ago.  Woah!

That in it's own realization is mind blowing.  Wow, this era or time or what ever I am supposed to call it...is a reoccurring soundtrack in a 20 year track.  That makes no fucking sense on paper but in my head it definitely does.  

Keep up!  Follow me here.  It's important.

Fast forward to now, December 2013...




Lost the battle, win  the war....bringing my sinking ship back to the shore...starting over...

Just like the lyrics...if there's a future...I WANT IT!

I am trying so hard to not make this a cryptic post.  I just have so much to say and not enough words sometimes.  

Maybe it's I CARE too much? Crazy, probably why I ramble on nonsense most of the time.

There's a time and place to die...this aint it.

I feel like this is all over the place as I ponder it all.  This is the real, the raw, the off the cuff and straight outta brain to press.  Something tells me I wont win a prize but maybe I will learn something and in turn teach?  Hmmm.... Teaching?  I used to be great at that.  This year, the year of 2013, has really sucked the ever living life out of me.  I mean really made me realize now that I look back at it...that I lost the whole year, doing nothing in my own presence or the presence of those I love that meant a thing.  I instead, embarked on someone else's journey and lost it in the mix of things.  

It goes back to that song by that lady...what's 
her face, "Fuck Was I".



I mean really!  What the fuck was I thinking?

Long story short, I lost a year and I cant get it back.  I wasn't present, as in the presence.  Follow me?

Basically, I spent a year fearing my own demise and in turn started the demise of me.  I mean, I am Kitty! The Fearless. The Bitch Down The Street!  I AM BRAVE. 

The Sara Bareilles song, Brave... I am almost certain was written for me.  The video itself pretty much proves my point.  Words and Choreography...yup...it's basically dedicated to me.  DUH!



Okay now that I have gone on and on and gone absolutely no where....here we go...yes, we're going like a mutha fuckin' train to Chicago with no breaks and just some good tunes and story.  

Grab your popcorn, Bitchachos and Manalopes...here is the year in review of the few things I may have learned or relearned....I of course plan to bullet point this bitch (I will number it and stick to what I am good at!)...it's what I do. 

Each number will have a song because I feel dancy as usual!
Crazy.  DO NOT LET ME FORGET TO TALK ABOUT RESOLUTION FOR 2014!! I mean I mentioned needing to be present.  I am sure I will again!

Did I mention I am COMMITTED to never letting such a thing happen again?  
As in I will be present.




Oh kaaayyy..so year in review...it's gonna be randomness as per usual...ready set now!

1. First thing is first, 2013 brought me a new Pearl Jam album.  The song and title of the album, Lightening Bolt pretty much complete me.  I am in love and thankful to PJ for the album.  Gladly, I will give #1 to that cool thing and this song.  Not really part of the theme but what the fuck ever!  It's PJ and Eddie Vedder we are talking about!



2. I am not going to lose another year not living my dream or working towards it!  Time to pull my head outta the sand and start humpin' my to happiness....and when I say humpin'....you do know I mean workin', right?  Not literally humpin' gents and gals to get somewhere...that shit aint right.  Hump cause you wanna, not cause you think you need to!



3.  Vodka is not the cure to everything but it sure does make all of everything seem better!



4.  MO MONEY MO PROBLEMS - LESS MONEY MO PROBLEMS - Either way we're all fucked in some way or another, we might as well enjoy ourselves the best we can!  FUN IS NECESSARY!  Might as well have the MO MONEY!



5.  No matter how long you go without sex or a relationship, sex and relationships with the wrong person is still with the wrong person.  So dont give that lil cuppy-cake away to just anyone!



6.  Even a close ally can turn on you and take a machete to your back.  So many bitches trippin' there aint no were to walk!!  It def felt like Gap-ish.

7.  Sometimes you can spend so much time looking in one direction that you miss every other angle.  Imma bout to put on the specs and look all up in here, everywhere!  I am ready.  I see you!!  Do you see me?  I am ready to see what I smell and smell what I see...it's like suntan lotion meets champagne.  It's all yummy if you open your eyes.  Life.

8.  Lastly, and more of a recap.  I learned this year...and mind you...this is all in retrospect...I was an idiot this year!  I mean a real freaking idiot.  I didnt smell, touch, feel, or see this year.  I wasn't present.  Gonna show up in 2014.  My presence will be felt and it will be magical like a vodka martini being served by pandas in park full of rainbows and unicorns with the sky full of pink sparkles....yup!  It's gonna happen!



I guess this is cryptic and much lacking humor and Kitty Sarcasm style and splendor...I think this year just sucked the life outta your dear Kitty S.   My true resolution is to be present as I mentioned above.  It means a lot of things.  Mainly, it means you will feel my presence.  For those that don't this year it will be purposely. Ready for the ride 2014 brings.

Obviously, I need more vodka cause this blogs sucks some serious old man balls!

Get me the fuck outta 2013, I cant even write anymore in this hell hole!

Cheers! 

Lost Track of it all in 2013

Shocker, I lost track of blogging and...yah...another something not finished.  There will be another year end blog for December 31, 2013.  I am not sure what it will say....I better start recapping shit on note cards!!

XOXO
