Prayers go out to her


Hopefully Amy's getting the help she needs. Why do all the talented become so tormented?

The photo on the left shows this woman needs some help.

Hero


Ms. Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge was fired from her job for basically doing her job.

Politics have no place when it comes to health care. People who are sick need help and to politicize life or death means that lots of people without the right "mojo" will die. It's an outrage.

I hope people like Ms. Madlala-Routledge will continue to stand up and shout out atrocities of the poor and disadvantaged. How could someone fire someone for that? I know how, but with South Africa having 5.5 million people with HIV/AIDS. Something is wrong.

Here is the BBC Article.

Today Sucks

It doesn't take much to get people started on the "today is horrible" bandwagon. This morning in New York City it's pouring and gloomy, etc. etc. Not the best way to start the day, but things could be worse. We could be on the train sipping diet coke ;-)

Recently, I got a bigger umbrella and I'm wearing waterproof boots. So, I'm dry. Really, isn't that the most important problem to deal with when it's raining? To my co workers and people who are negative: You woke up this morning, things could be a lot worse. If you woke up at all, things are off to a good start.

Get some boots and an umbrella!

Capricorn in Prayer

I thought that this was inspiring.

Capricorn Horoscope for week of August 9, 2007
Verticle Oracle card Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Certain religions whose names I won't mention have given prayer a bad name. It has come to be associated with sentimentality, desperation, delusion, greed, and wishful thinking. But I prefer to define prayer as an intention to align your emotions and thoughts with the highest possible good. Can you give that definition a whirl? I hope so. It's Big Wild Prayer Week, a time when you will have an extraordinary ability to get in sync with almost unimaginably catalytic currents of cosmic beauty and truth.

Pass the Diet Coke


It's 9:15am yesterday morning and I'm still sitting on the train between stops heading to work. We've been underground since 8am and I'm okay because I'm with my good friend and roommate.

Suddenly we hear a cry and a voice saying, "Oh my God" in Spanish. I look behind me and I see this lady collapsing. She probably thought we were going to die underground or something. We all felt for her but there was nothing anyone could do to help.

Then, out of the blue we hear, "pass this to her". We look and someone sends a diet coke to the crying woman. To my surprise, she quieted down like a baby. My friend and I laughed because of the diet coke being the item that calmed her down. It seemed like we were filming a commercial. It was good she got the diet coke because were still underground between stations for another twenty minutes.

I had never heard of a soft drink having this effect on someone. I'm going to try one for lunch today.

Morning Commute



Not sure if some of you heard about this, but the New York City Subway system was flooded and rush hour sent to a grinding halt. It took me three and a half hours to get to work.

I should have taken my camera! More stories to follow, but now I'm off to Chelsea to dinner with a friend. Italian...no sushi!! I'll let you know what I get.

Watch the Leap

Good a little forced, but I love the movement! Enjoy

Pownce

Is anyone else out there on Pownce? Do people like it? I signed up and finally got an invite. I have 4 invites if someone wants them.

Cheyenne Jackson Sighting


Cheyenne Jackson was in Starbucks. I wonder if he was headed out to the Xanadu. One day we're going to work together.

There I said it first.

Working


I took the day off so that I could spend time at a certain Chelsea studio and beg for a job. Not only did I decide to go, but most of the New York City population as well. I couldn't stand it any longer and went to Starbucks to get away for that circus atmosphere. I'm sure if I stayed there any longer I would explode.

There's got a be another way. In this time of the Internet and social networking, couldn't we have a way where there could be a lottery made from the first 30 people that sign up and everyone else is giving a number and confirmation. Not necessarily a time like equity, but at least you know if you're going to have a chance to be seen (beg). The producers aren't paying you to take of work and spend all day waiting. Getting up early doesn't necessarily mean much because they can type you out and you'll be out of a day of work and no gig.

Lovely

Did You Know 2.0

It's 8 minutes long, but so worthwhile.

Just say yes

I'm not sure how I feel about it. What are they saying? Drugs make you do "wrong" things? I laughed at first, but it just didn't have a good aftertaste. Yes, they're brothers, but I think that was thrown in for good measure.
