The pace of life has been brutal over recent months. Last week we sent out 680 Imperial Orgy CDs to college radio station across the US. Promoting to these stations is a gargantuan task.

We are using myspace extensively in the promo campaign. Due to this I have spent a lot of time looking at people’s profiles from across the U.S, and I must say it’s a little depressing how people present themselves. It amazing how many people connect themselves with violence of some sort. Lots of big guns, the word bitch is everywhere, all the white kids want to pretend they’re ghetto gangstas, check out the book favorites and you see how few people read,…our reality-TV culture is breeding idiocy.

I got some free tixs for a preview of an off Broadway play tonight. I was actually going to see the theatre which The Imperial Orgy is able to use for free, but the play was pretty good. I don’t know what the show was called though. The woman who played “Magda” on Sex & The City was in it.

I had a strange things happen last week when one of my few living relatives, an aunt who is a Christian, read an press article about me then went into the caeserpink.com website, and was very distressed. She sent a very accusatory email. I wouldn’t’ have expected anything else, but it was still unplasant.

When you are an artist, especially one who questions the pillars of church and state, you are putting yourself out there and every day you face attacks, rejection, and hate. Usually I drawl my strength from within and it doesn’t bother me, but you can’t be strong everyday, and sometime it gets to you. When it’s family members, it’s a little harder.

I have also been dealing with a X from long ago who is a little uptight. The character Sasha in my Apology writings are based on her and she is upset with some of my writings.

Last weekend I was supposed to meet a young woman I met in Pennsylvania, but my trip was postponed and I couldn’t meet her. That Friday night she posted a photo of herself that she took in the mirror. She was wearing a lovely peach outfit with a long scarf. He caption read, “I do strange things when I’m alone.”

For some reason I was entranced by the photo. She looked so nice, and the image of her dressed up and alone in her room at 11:30 on Friday night moved me.
