APHIE'S RANTS AND PIECES
2001-09-19 - 10:58 a.m. - -Red, Hot and Chilli in my bedroom---the mind boggling details unfold Some parts of this interview with somethings that have been going through Aphie's head caused her to think, somewhat loudly about the puzzling circumstances and coincidences. "This is probably just one of those things I fall into and in a couple of months I would probably fall out of. But then, why? Why did I fall into it in the first place? I blame all those hard rock magazines I read every night before I go to sleep. SPIN, Rollingstone and other articles that detail music genres like SKA, punk rock, funk, heavy metal, etc, all add up to leading me into a dream that saw me leading a rock and roll life, buried in it, and enjoying it. But I know the real truth...it is not me. It can never happen and something about it was just a mere re-adaptation of my overly stretched imagination." She put down these thoughts as she reffered followers of her journal to her dream and the culled pieces of the old article, hence also from Rollingstone. mind you these are bits and pieces of a major part of some big interview, just chopped down into significant paragraphs but the central part of it would relate to this entry. The correlation between hard-core funk music and sexuality is so undeniable that to write about it and to sing about it seemed like the most natural thing in the world. So we did it, and we still do it. The fact that things are so different today because of the dangerous nature of sexual activity doesn't mean you have to cut out your sexuality. You just have to be more careful and more thoughtful. You do have a rep as a major womanizer. Like so many millions of other men on this planet, I love women. I love their essence and the way they think and the way they talk and the way they move and the way they feel. I don't think that's terribly unusual. Yes, I have a strong appreciation for women. But that doesn't mean I'm a womanizer. I'm quoting Chad Smith here: "He's usually on the make. He really fancies himself a connoisseur of women." Chad probably thought he was giving me a compliment. But I thought that was a very unflattering statement, because it makes me seem like I look at women as objects to be conquered, which I don't. Have you had many serious relationships with women? Over the years, yeah. Can you ever picture yourself settling down and having kids? Yeah. I love children, and eventually I would love to have a relationship with a child of my own. But up to this point, I haven't felt comfortable enough with myself. I would hate to subject a child to the more insidious elements of my own personality. Well, it had its good points and its bad points. As far as the drug thing goes, I don't regret anything in that area, because it got me where I am today, and I'm cool with that. But it definitely introduced a struggle into my life. Having no limits, I had to personally determine what I was capable of doing and what would bring me to an early grave. It took me a long time, and I lost friends along the way, but now I know from first-hand experience. Openness and self-discovery seem important to you, but it's very rare that I read an article that gives me any real sense of what you're like. You always seem a little aloof. Has anybody ever told you that before? Yeah. And it always seems kind of surprising to me until I really think about it, and then I realize that I very rarely express the inner core of my feelings to somebody that I haven't known for a long time. I'm not afraid to talk about anything. Do you want to know my sign or what time I get up or something? I guess different people would be surprised by different things. They tell me what a bastard I am. What do they really tell you? "Gee, you're not the bastard I thought you were?" That's actually much more accurate. Like the girl I'm going out with now. When her parents found out she was going out with me, they were very disturbed. But I started talking to her mother on the telephone, and she realized that she was wrong for having jumped to conclusions about me.
