 Last night i got such a bad migraine that i curled up into a ball on my bed where i cried and groaned until i threw up the milkshake i had eaten for dinner again + again ALL night long until i was left dry-heaving....yum-yum....it was horrible to say the least.

But as soon as i felt that first twinge of pain in my head, i knew what was coming because this is ALWAYS the outcome of my headaches...I have to let them go on until they wear themselves out. I havent taken modern medicine (not even advil or tylenol) since middle school so i cant get rid of my headaches with the pop of a few pills like most people do. People think im just being stubborn (and maybe i am) but more-so its because I dont believe in the overall motives of the pharmaceutical companies...they dont produce the majority of medicine to help you, but to help themselves. Big businesses want big money. They are marketing medicine as though it were the newest trend. Personally, I dont think your body is something that should be treated so carelessly. It seems that new forms of "miracle medicine" are being discovered everyday, after which news releases come forth to tell of their side-effects, addiction rate, etc, etc. Sad, but its true...they are handing out perscriptions for deception, greed, and selfishness. AND I have chosen to dissociate myself from this as much as I can.

But enough ranting already...the weather is FINALLY beautiful outside and I am no longer left wearing the only 2 sweatshirts I could fit in my suitcase (i figured i only needed summer clothes for summer, but apparently not). My newest love is clothes is anything black...i used to wear only bright colors but now everything i buy is black, black, black. Pretty soon my closet is going to resemble a big black hole.

And now for some exciting/interesting news: after a lot of talk, one of the amazing photographers I have worked with in the past just gave limited copyright use to a German band (whose lyrics are actually in English) to have one of the photographs we took be used on their CD cover...they sent me a preview of what it is going to look like and it was pretty damn rad =] So i guess my face is gonna be floating around in Germany on a CD cover haha

Time to go make mischief...
