Ch-Ch-Changes... Lyric of the Day

"Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes,

Turn and face the strange...

(Ch-ch-Changes)

Just gonna have to be a different man,

Time may change me,

But I can't trace time..."

- Changes by David Bowie

I am in the process of changing things in and around my life. I call 2010 my year of "Personal Reinvention". I actually started this process mid to late last year with what I called "living my authentic life".

So in October I deactivated my Facebook account, then in November I chose to live a "celibate"(no-fucking-around) lifestyle. In January I began a strict eating plan which even includes the elimination of alcohol. I have basically since January 25th been living a "straightedge" lifestyle, and it has been suiting me fantastically.

Even though I have made many steps in the right direction in my "reinvention" I still felt that there was something missing.

So I decided to become a Brunette. I had been a Blonde for about 3 years and all my friends and family knew me as a Blonde. This may sound silly and girly but I find that hair colour can be an incredibly important factor in a person's life. I have even posted about this previously (My theory). I stated that I will remain a Blonde, well that did not happen. We all change with time, and with it my hair's health. I kept this a secret from everybody and loved the reactions when people saw me for the first time. I know that I have made the right decision.

I am going to continue making the right decisions for me. I have been going to more gigs and shows and seeing the people I want to see. I have become a happier person. I am looking forward to tomorrow night's gig with Paul. I am looking forward to this month, the bachelorette, being a bridesmaid, the wedding, the new Grand Prix season, Ramfest, Joburg Burning and all the things that I have planned. I am looking forward to my tattoo with Sissy.I am looking forward to what this year has in store. I think the changes are going to be epic. Inside and out!

My theory...

I have had this theory for a while now... that brunettes are the girlfriends and blondes are well, the flings. I will find a guy and then find out why he has been ruined and it will always have been the work of some Brunette. The blonde either gets left for the more stable looking brunette or get used for a good time until the man finds his next Brunette. My theory may be whack, fulla crack, but I have come to find that this is indeed the truth. Just look at Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie, the brunette won the man. Marilyn Monroe and JFK, Jackie Kennedy won the man. Marilyn was just the "silenced" mistress on the side. Sure there have been some blondes who have been in long term marriages and relationships, but this is my theory. I stand by my word. I have had more fun as a blonde. I will remain a blonde. I will take inspiration from my three favourite blondes, the gorgeous Marilyn Monroe, Scarlett Johansson and Sophie Dahl. They never compromise, thus I will become the exception to my own rule. Silly as it may seem. Now to go play some Guitar Hero!
