Return To Me

Five pounds, 3% body fat and one ton of drama shed.

Proud. More to go.

New beginning.

Didn't feel a need to Photoshop my face for once. That's nice too.

Thanks Sam Phillips for snapping shot after shot on a regular night out, inisiting they needed to be taken. You were right. As usual.

Eat at Boulevard in West Hollywood. Trust me.

Can't describe how amazing it feels being back in my head again.

More words to live by:

"In one hand, dreams aplenty. In her smile, a secret spell. There have been disappointments. These she knows all too well. So you lose and you was not a part of this plan. 'So, jump!' said three tears at the tee and just turn you around. 18 wheels in your high heel. Just turn you around. Sold a dream at 23? Turn you around. Hold out. You still got that secret spell. Girl, you've got to do one in 'cause you've still got your secret spell." - Tori Amos, "Secret Spell" from the forthcoming album, American Doll Posse.

"The things that plagued me as a child, I left behind with my childhood when I became a man. To be a man, those things must be replaced with faith, hope and love." - Black Snake Moan

"There's only so much you can learn in one place. The more that I wait, the more time that I waste." - Madonna, "Jump" from the album, Confessions on a Dance Floor

"A lot of people enter into relationships to fill an emptiness within themselves, but when you're filling your own voids, you have so much more to offer a person, don't you? Then it becomes about giving to them, not about taking from them. You shouldn't need anything or anyone in order to feel good about yourself." - Me.

Song of the Week: "Jump" (Live) - Madonna, Confessions Tour
