Costumes Of Life!!!!!!!!!!!
Current mood: indescribable
Category: Music
Tonight as the tricker treaters were coming and going, dressed in their costumes…… I thought how ironic the world was.
Everyday people wake up and dress to play their part for the day! The business man wears his suit, the post man wears his uniform, the nurse and doctors wear their scrubs. Everyone dresses to play their part in life. On Halloween, they dress to be scary, or to be the person they secretly wish to be, or to be anything but who they really are…….. I thought today, that an interesting Halloween would be, when everyone dressed in the reality of who they are. Wouldn’t that be something?
The Business man might be a monster…. The Chiropractor might be an angel, and the Plumber might be a savior!!!!!!!!!! This year has been a wild ride for me. I went to China, and stayed at the Ritz. One day I walked a block and opened a beautiful door and found HELL. Here at home I have found people dressed in the finest garb, only to find that beneath it all was another kind of hell! I turn the corner and BAM….. I see the truth! I’ve been writing a lot of songs lately about the things I’ve seen! About the truths…….
I dedicated my CD “Let It Go” to all the woman in the world searching for, and living their dreams… and all the men that support them. I felt compelled to make that dedication… not fully understanding why. In the last year, it has come to my attention why this CD needed to be dedicated to the woman of this world, and to those special men!
Tonight I am going to make a wish that people quit dressing up everyday…… quit putting on their costumes every day of the year…. Start representing the reality of who they truly are….. and if they don’t like what they see… They will change what is beneath their costume of lies!
I hope you have a Nice Halloween weekend… and TRY dressing as yourself today……. I hope you LIKE what you see! I can’t wait to share my new songs with you someday soon! I might need to call it “Costumes Of Life”….. Happy Halloween! I will go to sleep tonight, thankful for the people that are not creepy goblins dressed in beautiful garb!
Love,
Lex
