Princess à la mode

saphir

Birthday month! Let’s celebrate this Sapphire all month long! My only remaining question, will I drown in the black-violet ocean that is called my mind or will I rejoice with love under the amber moon? The ebb and flow of that deep ocean is, naturally, swayed by the affections of the moon.

‘O love, as long as you’re able to love.
O love, as long as you wish to love.
For the hour will come, the hour will come,
When you’ll stand at the grave and mourn.’
Excerpt by Freiligrath

Fragment de l’esprit

Snippets of my thoughts lately:
-Will X Japan REALLY play Seattle in October? We all know Yoshiki’s hit/miss record…It doesn’t look promising for Seattle, He’s about as reliable as any Seattle Sports team is good…….Think on that pathetic thought

-An Iced-Grande-Soy-Chocolate-Raspberry-Latté with 4 shots of espresso really hits the spot. I don’t know if I’ve told you or not but caffeine gives me heart palpitations but…somedays I don’t give a d-mn. I try to do everything in excess.

-Date a man who owns and loves a chihuahua. He’ll be comfortable and assure of himself and know high maintenance.

- On the 22nd 2 of my favorite people share a birthday! My little sister who isn’t so little anymore, and Layne Staley! Love You, Love YOU, LOVE YOU. Oh babe, I KNOW you are gonna love what I got you….but, no hints. *tongue-sticky-outtie*

A view to the inside:

Accablé

I’ve been sick this week with I’m not sure what. An allergic reaction maybe? Or some sort of … I don’t know. My face has been swollen, my mouth raw, my lymph nodes are sore and I’ve a terrible migraine.

It’s overwhelming. To top it off, there is so much work to do on the computer that I am… avoiding it. There are thousands of photos! Artworks, site updates, blog updates, friend updates, system updates…. And some of it I am SO SO excited to show. It took all I had to shop for my sister’s upcoming birthday I am that tired. … I wish there were 36 hours in a day….

But, let us not forget and make time to remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 6 and 9, respectively. Last year I visited the Sadako Memorial here in Seattle, she was so beautiful covered in thousands of paper cranes. Naturally, I took many of my own for her.

They’d best tie my wings down, because I am going to fly.

Le temps de vous

Time while working for fashion Magazines and Japanese, bliss.

And… Jimmy Gnecco releases his solo album ‘The Heart’ July 20th….. Ecstasy.

Prêtresse

I don’t find myself particularly polite. I’ll talk to you if you approach me but I won’t approach you, generally ever. Maybe it’s the sociaphobe coming out, maybe it’s something of fear or perhaps I just don’t have anything to say to you. Humans interest me on a scale of zero. I don’t care about the small drama in your life, your material things or your ever-so-great profession. Life is….nothingness. We are all born into menial lives no matter how grand of a scale. All these worldly possessions people kill one another for, end. Just like you.

Absolutely, I believe in striving for a wonderful life, happiness and wealth. But, hurting and destroying others is… unforgivable. You will pay at a later date for it. Yes, we all hurt people by accident, by things we cannot control. However, knowing that you are hurting someone… May God damn you.

We are here for a purpose, what reason however, I do not know. I think, maybe we are here, to learn enlightenment through the hell that is earth, in all her beautiful glory, demons called humans reside on her.

Thus, ending my sermon. One last thought, why are people so crazy over a piece of green paper? I mean, it’s a piece of stupid paper that has somehow been deemed ‘worthy’ of ruling our lives. Think on that cruel joke and tell me you don’t feel the slightest bit silly working so hard for paper.

Mon cœur se brise

I feel, extremely elated today. I don’t know why and I don’t know how long it will last but…. it’s rather nice, alien, but nice.

And so, if Eubie Blake could play piano with his fingers not curved… So can I. I cut my nails for no one and I hate….HATE people telling me what to do; I do things on my own terms, in my own time. I’ll take good advice, but only when I like it. It’s like the lovely departed Ms. Iijima said ”私的に (My Way)”

Album Recommendation(s):
X Japan ‘Dahlia’ and ‘Art of Life” – Anything by X Japan is tops. But, since this is a post about Piano and X Japan, Yoshiki plays lots of Piano on these 2 albums. If you are familiar with classical music, you’ll recognize some of Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony No.8 in Art of Life.

Slowly, I am falling apart: (o>ω

Souvenirs et des armes

Happy 4th of July!

Today I’ve been cleaning out my closet. Strange old mementos pop up among a lot of weaponry,

Oui! Je l’ai obtenu!

Amber Cobelle — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 11:03:28 +0000

For the first time in my life, I feel proud; proud that I accomplished something by my own merit and not by my looks. It would sound like I’m spoiled but believe me, that’s the farthest from the truth. Never do I ask for anything, from anyone. You can count on only yourself in this cold dark world, this is the lesson. And so, I am…. well, I don’t want to say contemptuous of the things in my life but…. I feel content that I actually accomplished something worthwhile and I busted my ass for it, making it even sweeter. YES! I did it.

Was it hard? Getting there, yea. With Japanese, Dance and Piano lessons nearly every day; + Work, Housework and Studying every day.

La rencontre de cultures différentes

Amber Cobelle — Mon, 03 May 2010 20:05:22 +0000

The meeting of different cultures, whether in music or life, can be a very beautiful thing.

Music Recommendations:
Schwein “Schweinstein” – Japanese, German and English – This album will get you ‘hot’. One of my all time favorites.
Zilch “3.2.1″ – American, English, Japanese – This has been on rotation the past few days, it’s amazing and raunchy. 2 of the members have now passed away, Rest in Peace hide and Paul Raven.

Shoot me, Baby:

Ne nous oubliez pas

- One in three Native American women will be raped at some point in their lives, a rate that is more than double that for non-Indian women.

- In fact, American Indian Women’s Chemical Health Project found that three-fourths of Native American women have experienced some type of sexual assault in their lives.

- Native American women suffer violent crime at a rate three and a half times greater than the national average, including sex trafficking.

Don’t forget us.

Joyeuses Pâques!

May God bless you and all your loved ones. Have a beautiful Easter with your beloved family.

Ecchymose sur le talon

Amber Cobelle — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 00:00:01 +0000

Somewhat bruised my heel doing ballet, I came down wrong and hit my heel on a sharp corner ≧д≦ Drinking wine and and pirouettes are my favorite thing… but it’s dangerous and by far too fun. At least since I always walk on my toes, there isn’t as much pressure directly on the heel.

Bu the way, remember Motley Crue’s album ‘Generation Swine’? Does anyone but me remember how amazing that album was?

Joyeux Anniversaire, Les Bébés!

Happy 6th Birthday to 2 of the only good things in my life. I love you, please, never leave me. The moments we’ve spent together have been, by far, the happiest.

Democrats. Are. Morons.

J’ai la migraine

Amber Cobelle — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 08:20:20 +0000

I hate migraines. You can tell one is coming but are never prepared when that bastage hits; have had them since I was 8 years old. Now, I’ll turn out the lights and the computer off and see if it subsides.

Les rôdeurs ça craint!

Amber Cobelle — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:00:14 +0000

Lately, I’ve been playing a lot of piano. It’s a wonderful escape.

Somebody asked me: “Why don’t you post when you are going to a shoot like other models?” Because I’m not other models… I don’t like people knowing where I am or what I’m doing…. Ya bunch o’ stalkers!

And now: Behold Aoi of The Gazette, a band who I really dislike, BUT he is singing about… Momiji Manju. I love Momiji Manju. ♥

Sentiment d’irréalité

Amber Cobelle — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 18:36:03 +0000

Depersonalization and derealization are commonly reported in the general population as a response to stress. A disorder in which the patient complains spontaneously that his or her mental activity, body, and surroundings are changed in their quality, so as to be unreal, remote, or automatized. Among the varied phenomena of the syndrome, patients complain most frequently of loss of emotions and feelings of estrangement or detachment from their thinking, their body, or the real world. In spite of the dramatic nature of the experience, the patient is aware of the unreality of the change. The sensorium is normal and the capacity for emotional expression intact.

When something exceptionally life altering happens, whether precious or harrowing, you try to relive that moment through nearly any means possible. Karma comes back around.

“To bury my subdued sobbing
Nothing equals the abyss of your bed,
Potent oblivion dwells upon your lips
And Lethe flows in your kisses.”
~Le Léthé – Charles Baudelaire
