There are banners all over Myspace saying, "Is Tyra Fat?"  I would like to say a big "fuck you" to society for all the hype on whether or not people think Tyra Banks is fat.  Ok let's look at this:

1.  Tyra Banks could weigh 180 pounds and still look AMAZING.

2.  I don't think 180 lbs for the height she is would even be fat.

3.  That number is much higher than they are saying she actually is.

4.  She is a RETIRED model...no one's forcing her to be annorexic anymore.

5.  All of this is actually PROMOTING annorexia because they are showing someone who a lot of girls look up to as "fat" when she really only gained like 30 pounds.

6.  I am extremely pleased with Tyra for her reaction to all this crap.  She is admitting to the weight gain and explaining that it is HEALTHY.  That is so true.  No one should be as tall and skinny as your typical model.  And no one should ever tell anyone they need to lose weight for the media.

7.  Look at her...yes you can see she's put on some weight from that ONE, unflattering photo of her, and she's not freakishly thin.  I hope people still look up to her even if she's "chunky."

8.  I'd say probably 20% of Americans weigh less than her.  This frustrates me beyond belief.  Here we are, examining a beautiful woman, and telling everyone she's fat.  What are the REAL fat people going to think?  People who suffer from obesety will become even more depressed when they hear that this woman who is probably a third of their weight is fat.  They are going to feel like giant blobs.

9.  Didn't a recent Dove commercial use "fat" models to sell their product?  Aren't they doing extremely well?

10.  Seriously, America, do you really have anything better to talk about than Tyra Banks and her weight?  I'm disappointed in you.  I hope Brad Pitt gains 200 pounds to piss all of you off.

When night falls
I see too much light
I see the moon shine black
Against the pale screen of white

When day comes
I sleep
I keep the shadows away
I keep you away

When night comes again
I find you
I feel safe
You don't leave me in your sleep

What do people know?
Nothing of me
Not that I know more
Or less

Do you find it easy?
Does loving me
Make your moon shine brighter?

It should

I don't know if I'll ever figure out what went wrong.
I can still smell your hair when you just got out of the shower.
Like a decade ago, oh wait I knew you then
But you were so young and I was so scared.

I don't know if I'll ever have the strength to let you go.
Craig David keeps telling me I should.
But what does he know anyway?  He's just a singer.
He never knew what it was like to love you.

I don't know why I still leave you messages
Or call you at night when I need someone to talk to.
You always said I was so desperate, so vulnerable.
I know it's true and that's one of the reasons I need you.

I wish there was something I could say to make you want me.
At least love me just a little bit.
To make things the way they were before.
"Once the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect again."

I still wear my Kelly Clarkson shirt when I'm sad
Or on days when I feel like I could use a little luck.
It was funny the way you passed out at the concert
And I was the one who was so excited to be there in the first place.

I don't know why I still think about Cape Cod
Or how I don't care what the hell I did to my uncle's shower.
Those few days were fun, even if they were too hot.
The attic wasn't so bad on the third was it?

I don't know why I still have our anniversary in my date book.
Every month I get a little beep, a little reminder
Of how you aren't there anymore.
And how I know you don't remember that the day might mean something.

I don't know why I even bother writing this.
I know you won't read it.
And if you do you won't say anything about it.
You'll just go on living your life, happy I'm no longer in it.

I don't know how I'll ever get over you.
I don't know why I still love you.
I don't know when I'll see you next.
And I don't know if you even care.
