My So-called Life "So I started hanging out with Rayanne Graff." Well, not exactly. I haven't been hanging out with Rayanne Graff, and I'm not exactly Angela Chase. My name is Ging Hoyumpa and I've been hanging out with Raine Guzman. My life is once again beginning. Which probably makes you wonder how it ended in the first place. But that's for another entry, and to be honest, I'm quite tired of reliving the demise, however long and torturous it was. I have come to the resolution that the most romantic of stories are tragic, and the most gripping of tales have no ending--they just hang, leaving you stuck. Just like this series that never really presented a resolution (Brian Krakow or Jordan Catalano?) - the fans, hence, stuck. But not everything should be neatly stacked. Not everything is cleanly cut. Our lives, my life, is cryptic -- it's meaning probably won't manifest until my last breath. So why bother figuring it out? Instead of being stuck, I'd rather let go and move on. I mean, really, how difficult is it to change channels? Or, even better, how difficult is it to friggin' turn off that television set, get outta bed and into the world. How difficult is it to LIVE? I have been hanging out with Raine Guzman and I am once again seeing the world in the eyes of a child. A real child - complete with maliciousness, playful wit, and a never-ending belief in the goodness of the world. Here are a few things Raine taught me or helped me remember: 1) You never question or go against the will of the Universe, else you get into a car accident. 2) Triple numbers mean you're getting warm. (Think Warm-Cold Game of Sesame Street) 3) Rum and Coke knows no hours 4) Never judge unless the conclusion is obvious. (She was the only one who, after recounting my tale, said: I wouldn't know. I've never met her. I'd rather meet her first.) 5) Never tolerate people in closets, unless they grant you access to their closets. Don't be a closet dork, a closet geek, a closet lesbian, a closet bisexual, a closet coffee addict, etc. If you are, understand why, and face-up to your unrealness. 6) She and I are magnets for trust-fund babies... 7) You never run out of wishes. 8) Be very specific when you wish. 9) Wishes are granted to those who really believe, provided the universe approves of them. :) 10) Not everyone can be in your universe. 11) I am either Sunshine, or Hook. :) 12) There's such a thing as "Ging-i-fied." 13) You can go deep and laugh as long as you're not cowardly. You can fly high and cry as long as you're not high-and-mighty. 14) There's only now. There's only here. Give in to love. Or live in fear. No other path. No other way. No day but today. 15) That I, in the past few months, have lived my life gloriously. * Happiness and peace is just around the bend. I cannot see it, but I can smell it. :)  { Last Page } { Page 10 of 35 } { Next Page } |
