"Guys like us..we have the hardest time getting the girl. But, the good looking people, they've got no spine. We ache. Some of the greatest art and poetry come out of being the underdog. This strengthens your spine. We know the feeling. We are not caught up in love disguised as sex, sex disguised as love. There's just so much bullshit in the world...you must be careful who you trust."
-Lester Bangs. Creem Magazine 1976
Just reading his autobiography, and am coming across so many fantastic, jaded, 'could care less', too cool for anyone quotes, that are, ultimately, brilliant because of that attitude. I had to share the above one I just read. He quotes the band YES after he gets married to his great love Carol- he ends his reading by saying-
"Don't surround yourself with yourself"
'I've Seen All Good People'- YES
He claims she was the only woman that he felt both passion and unity with, yet still enough isolation in himself to continue feeling the rage he needed to feel to fuel his work. He says he would be a "dog" without her. I found that both beautiful and intriguing. That, it seems to me, is real love. But really, you only know real love when you're in it, so I am no longer interested in pontificating too much about it. It takes alot of courage, real love. And comes along, in a true sense only once, maybe twice in your life.
But it is true, the above---don't surround yourself with yourself.
About Me
- *TRENNY*
- I'm Trenny and my philosophy is rather simple-I believe there are only 2 forces in this world, Love or Fear. My goal is to try to see things through the eyes of love, but I am fallible and do not always succeed. My professional career at the moment is that of a fashion stylist in New York,but my interests are varied. This blog is the like a blog ‘magazine/newspaper/journal', where I’ve combined all the elements of things that I love to learn through those mediums myself. Some life journaling, lots of music. A little health, natural product talk and recipe sharing. Random musings on life experiences, a little style, art and humour. Environment issues too as nature is our greatest gift. I hope it teaches you something, makes you laugh, or gets you interested in something different. If it fires you up,I welcome learning all different points of view. I hope that what I share, including my mistakes, encourages you. *In the end, I believe we are all each other's teachers, so whatever you might be inspired to say/share with me through this blog- good and bad- I fully welcome it. I learn just as much from you. Happiness and Love xoxo TrennyLynn - trennylynn@gmail.com
