MY PERSONAL ETHICAL CODE...

As you all know, I'm in a fight right now to be the best I can be. I've developed a personal ethical code (with the help of the DIAMOND CUTTER) to follow in my life. This is something I hope to pass down to my unborn children:

MY PERSONAL ETHICAL CODE

1) DO NOT LIE
2) BE HAPPILY HELPFUL
3) ALWAYS GIVE PEOPLE MORE THEN WHAT THEY NEED
4) DON'T THINK BAD THOUGHTS OF OTHERS
5) DO NOT SPEAK NEGATIVELY OF OTHERS
6) DO NOT STEAL - AT ALL!!! (NOT A GRAPE FROM THE KROGER OR 38 cents of change)
7) PAY ALL DEBTS (even the ones I think are whack)
8) ENCOURAGE BEAUTIFUL WORDS FROM LEAVING MY MOUTH (Quit Cursing)
9) PROTECT LIFE (Wish I could be vegetarian...gonna cut down...animals have feelings too)
10) LEARN AT LEAST 1 NEW THING EACH DAY
11) DON'T ABUSE DRUGS & ALCOHOL
12) PROTECT OTHER's PROPERTY

Many of you know that some of these things will be particularly challenging - especially cursing. I have a horrible potty mouth. And sometimes I wonder the significance of not cursing at all. What does it really hurt? - it's just another form of expression which is sometimes REALLY accurate. What's the difference of saying Fudge instead of Fuck? Or not saying either one and thinking it? Nothing - really. I've just noticed for the first time that people express utter shock when they hear me curse. It was like when I used to smoke and people would look at me and say they would have NEVER in a million years expected me to smoke. Now - as I'm getting older - I want to match that perception that people have of me with true actions. What does that say about somebody when they think you are incapable of smoking or using profanity. To me, it is a form of respect to be envisioned that way. I know I have a particular form of respect for people that appear to live "clean" lives. Well - I want to be a role model. I want to be revered. With that being said - you now know my moral code of living. Here is a poem I wrote this morning when I woke up and decided I'd stop cursing:

Dedicated to Corey A Thomas for inspiring me to do so:

SHIP, DARN, MOTHERFUDGER
by Sonia "Sypher" Tyler


FUCK - My favorite proclamation of despair
which can only feel better, when prefaced with Mother
SHIT - What better way to express disappointment
then thinking of excrement; nasty, but quite relevant
BITCH - A word that cuts with great precision
Makes the user feel empowered, and the receiver sadly deflowered
DAMN - When something is utterly disgusting
The opposite of Godly, but used the most involuntary

All of these words have a punch when you say them.
And is the second thing more demeaning then a face spat on with phlegm.
When angry, these feel like the best way to express distress
Until people start looking perturbed and perplexed
Not for nothing naughty words are always associated
with the low class and extreme unintelligence

Now I wonder what this world would be, if I did not use words of profanity

~ I would always know how to exactly articulate my thoughts around children and their parents
~ No more hushed conversations on the phone, cause I know most my words come out wrong
~ That look one gets when they're beautiful, won't be taken away once they hear my mouthful

I imagine a transformation into Queendom
where the new cool is to be regal
And it wouldn't matter what your religion
you could never mistaken my words for evil
I also suspect life would be more peaceful
having to think before I speak ill

SHIP, DARN, MOTHER-FUDGER! I got to stop using all these flippin curse words!

Introducing my alter ego BLOOD RAVEN

So I went on an audition today dressed as a "Latin Terror". I had on a slinky black dress with tons of leg and tatas showing and put this incredible long blue black wig on all topped off with a red rose and blood red lipstick. I was surprised at all the attention I got. Guys just couldn't stop staring and I was rather bewildered at the torrents of compliments thrown my way. I usually get a lot of love, but this was times 10! And now I know why girls are addicted to fake hair and short skirts. There's a power in gaining the attention of all those in your circumference. I found myself driving, wanting the other drivers to notice me in the car. Ridiculous. It was fun for the day - and I may let my alter ego out on a couple of nights to paint the town red -- Her Name Shall Be Blood Raven (after the movie I just auditioned for). Here is her story:


I need to be put in my place, FIRMLY
Subtlety won't do the job, I'M WILD
Patience will wear you out , JUST BEAT ME

I'll take a mile if you give me an inch
My experiences have made me a bitch
I'm come too far and I've seen too much
Your on bullshit, that's always my hunch
They say kill me with kindness and I'll eventually learn
I say fuck with my madness and you'll always get burned
I'm a cave woman, I gather and hunt
Take and eat all I encounter, then move into somebody else's hut
Damn right I'm vulnerable, but don't be fooled
A woman's tears are sometimes her greatest tool
If you see me tremble, understand comfort won't work
You better back up, I'm a volcano ready to burst

JUST BEAT ME, put me in my place
I'M WILD, don't be fooled by this pretty face
FIRMLY, a straight jacket is all I should embrace

Do any of you know anybody like this?  Hope you enjoyed the poem!

I will post my Personal Ethical Code tomorrow.

Smooches! Sonia "Sypher" Tyler
