Bryant Park
I'm waiting to meet up with some friends and decided to come to the park until it gets dark. It's a beautiful evening in NYC. It's about 75 degrees with a cool breeze and lots of beautiful people around.
I thought about seeing Broken English tonight. I may see the 10:30pm show. We'll see.

In the Future...
Free Will Astrology has some of the best horoscopes on the web. Here's mine for the week. They're dead on.
"Dear Rob: Last night I dreamt that I finally met the soulmate I've been looking for all these years. We were making love in a limousine that was driving us to the church where we would be married. Then a terrible thing happened. Right there in my arms, my perfect lover turned into a toothless, stinking geezer whose sparse white hair was falling out in my hands. I shrieked and ran out of the car. Can you interpret my dream for me? -Crushed Capricorn." Dear Crushed: Your dream may mean that your romantic ideals have become outmoded; your long-standing fantasies about what constitutes your perfect lover are no longer relevant. It's probably time to adjust your definitions.

Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow
...that I must say goodnight.
This post is inspired by a post from a new friend. It evoked this "Got til it's Gone" (janet reference) sentiment.
It was 1999 and a good friend of mine and I went to a singles party in Maryland. I was reluctant to go at first, but my friend D thought it would be fun. When we walked in we were given a color and a number. Almost immediately D and I were separated from each other because we're in different groups. I'm on the green "team" and he's on the white team. (things are really coming back to me)
We're told that the reason that we're being separated is because we will be transferring from room to room with our team. I don't recall how many rooms his house had, but there were many. Each room had a different theme. Some would be discussion rooms and others would be for twister, taboo or eating/relaxing.
Before we moved to a room we had to get up in front of the crowd of about 30 strong and say something about yourself. I mentioned something about being a Capricorn...lol (I always do that).
The first room I was in was a "discussion" room. We read a topic, which I don't recall, and discussed it. I remember this cute guy with great lips sitting across from me. He was very opininated, a definite plus in my book. I thought I saw him checking me out, but I wasn't sure.
Now the rule was if you saw someone you liked you wrote down their color and number and gave it to the host who had your contact information next to your color and number. The only way you would be contacted would be if they wrote you down too. Well, I was interested and listed him. That was huge for me at the time.
It was a holiday weekend I think Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (which is around my birthday). I remember being in my car and my cellphone going off (Nokia, if you care). It was him. I was shocked. We spoke about that evening and when we'd get together. Our first date was a day later; we had pizza and talked. It was great.
We dated for about three months and I'm not clear as to why we didn't continue to date, but he did mention that when I got my computer (AMD K6 320) he saw less of me....which wasn't true. What was true was that I was planning to move to NYC and he knew that. I think we knew that neither of us wanted to get hurt. Looking back that was just an excuse.
This guy still has a place in my heart. I'm a pretty dramatic person and love a good presentation. One day I had gotten off work and he asked if I wanted to come over. Well, when I got over his place. He had left the door open and had lit tea lights all over the apartment. It was a moment I won't forget because I knew he did it for me.
Just a few weeks ago he called to see if he saw me on TV (it wasn't me). I felt he left this flirty message about my smile, but he's a big flirt so I don't know what it meant. I called him back and we decided that we would get together when I go back home in August. I'm looking forward to seeing him.
We are two different people (he has a boyfriend) and I've grown and changed since then, but we still keep in touch. Even now I remember what a special man he was and how he was the only reason, at the time, to stay in my hometown and not move to New York City.

PBS...too expensive??? RANT
The United States of America is the richest country in the world and we have to cut PBS' federal subsidy because we need to balance the budget? It's 420 million dollars??? Again, we have no problem pouring trillions into Iraq, but we can't find 420 million dollars? Bullcrap!!
Sometimes the only culture that some people are exposed to is on PBS? From Broadway to concerts, PBS is something that should unquestionably remain for the people. I'm fortunate because I live in New York City, the cultural mecca of the United States, but most Americans don't.
Shame on Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colorado
So Annoying
This gets me so heated.
Bush is complaining about a $30 billion increase to help poor children in this country, but has no problem spending trillions of dollars fighting a war in Iraq. He'll pay for death, but not for the health and well being of Americans.
Just embarrassing.
The You Tube Debates
Talk about fusion. I'm into tech & web 2.0 products and CNN and YouTube are bringing that philosophy together very nicely. The web will actually be used by the people for the people.
The CNN/YouTube debates will have people submitting questions to candidates via You Tube. Even though CNN (Anderson Cooper) will pick which questions candidates will answer, I'm hoping young people 18-40 year olds will get questions answered that pertain to them. Over 1,300 videos have been submitted.
So, those of you with an webcams, put on some clothes, throw on a shirt and ask Hilary, Obama and Mike Gravel "What have they done for you lately?" (another janet jackson reference).

All Night Session
Who cares that 3,600 soldiers have died and more are wounded? We need to stay in Iraq and not address the mismanagement of this war.That's the message the Republican party is giving to the American people. As the anti-war sentiment grows and the election antics intensify Democrats will have more ammunition to confront the Elephants on Iraq.
The Democrats may have lost the battle on the defense bill, but I believe this is just part of the plan to get a Democrat in the executive office to clean up the mess G.W Bush made.
Rain Keeps Falling...Down
I awoke this morning to thunder and rain so loud that I had to make sure my windows were shut in the apartment. I love the rain when I can curl up in bed and listen to it clobber the side of the building, but when you have to get up and go to work that love turns offensive.
The A train was working, but the D train was so packed that no one could board. So I jumped back on the A, took it to the closest stop and walked five avenues, which is like three blocks each, to work. I have a large umbrella that didn't work as well as I wanted because the spokes kept becoming dislocated from fabric. Imagine, I walk inside a deli, get my coffee and sandwich, open my umbrella and half of it is flopping in the wind. That just made the commute more frustrating. At least people at work, refrained from giving me a hard time. I surely wasn't in the mood.
Speaking of moods. A cloud has descended. It's temporary, but that's how I'm feeling now.

Weekend
Nothing like waiting in line at an amusement park to catch up with friends. Topics of discussion were my Sprint (phone carrier drama) and the "sights" around the park. Believe me, there was lots to see. I'll post pics later.
Now, I'm at work and tired. I will post pics later today. (Didn't I say that already)
