inspired by the old tube


As, i began yet another day of monging. I stayed tuned and glued on to oprah
which out in the open is one of my favourite shows. this time around they
had an interesting interview with lynn kohlman a famous model in the 60-70's that grazed every popular magazine possible, she worked with her best friend donna karen, became a photographer and unfortunately developed breast cancer. The cancer then spread to both of her breast resulting to surgery on our womanly gifts. Can you bear that? but she made it through. Unfortunately again life can be a struggle when it wants to be and she was then diagnosed with brain cancer. How do you take news like this?she had another surgery and this amazing stapled steel thing going across the side of her scalp came out of it.These amazing self potraits were produced which i cant seem to trace on the net.so, that is a shame.

Sometimes when you are forced to face with death,instantly everything changes. It comes right down to time limit. Every moment you have been through becomes somewhat pointless and you are facing right into the end of your own legacy. Somehow, we all think we would live through the day and have a life of eternity. We do act that way, dont we? Nothing else keeps them going except for the fact that every moment of that day is spent with a sense of living. Anyhow, i may have not come to the point of death but i have come to the point of losing because of death. That alone leaves a mark for me.

back to lynn kohlman, she has a book out called lynn, front to back which i is one of my "wants". So hopefully, it's out here or if not i will try to trace it in melbourne. i guess it may seem corny to have these kind of reads to motivate you but i am a firm believer that god, places us right in this earth to survive.so, i will close one eye to every depression and dislikes that walks into my way. take a deep breath and despite how much it hurts,try not to get affected by it.
