Rest Day

I've got iTunes on random. I'm talking in the phone and haven't even had a bite to eat! Maybe I'll see Sicko later on tonight, then go the east village for a drink.

Then again, maybe not.

Affirmative Action

So, the United States has this problem with race and class.

You would think the same government that had a role in enslaving you would take a role in your liberation. I'm not just talking about saying, "hey now you're free with no skills, come work for us." but a plan or a way for that group of people, who didn't profit from the building of the country, to close the gap of access and socio economic status.

The Supreme Court and it's recent decision shows that they are blind to the effect of slavery and discrimination and feel that it's up to the descendants to overturn years of abuse. Is that right? I guess to five of the of the four Supreme Court Justices.

We Can't Forget...3,569 dead

More of our brave soldiers in Iraq have been killed. They have family and friends who are mourning now for their loved ones.

They cannot die in vain. We must do what we have to do in Iraq efficiently, swiftly and thoroughly.

CNN Article

Sand is flowing out of the hourglass

So eloquently said by Fred I. Greenstein. Bush is done. He will leave behind no legacy except for the war. That's it....the war. It got him elected so he should stand tall on that.

This Washington Post article gives a great summation of our President and his failed policy and in my opinion failed presidency.

Revolutionary Costume for Today

I really enjoyed her performance. The two of them together on stage was like seeing two cobras dueling. Both dangerous and both relying on their appearance to strike fear. I understand the Tony voters...they both had to get it. This performance, from the 2007 Tony Awards, opens the dark 2nd act. Enjoy

dah dah dah dah dahhhh

Jerry Likes My Corn

Absurd title for a song in a very interesting show. Grey Gardens is kind of like a before and after of Jackie Kennedy-Onassis' relatives. It starts with them wealthy (1st Act) to them living with 52 cats, racoons and bugs (2nd Act). Very tragic.

The first act had no real action or conflict. The only real reason it exists is to inform the 2nd act, when we see what happened to the mother and daughter's relationship. I have to say the 2nd act had some brilliant moments. Mary Louise Wilson's character work had levels and was tragic without her playing tragic. I almost shedded a tear during the "Jerry Likes My Corn". Email me if you want to know what happens during it cause I don't want to give it away if someone doesn't want to hear it.

Overall, it was an entertaining night at the theatre, but I'm glad it didn't win Best Musical. The book had too many problems. I wanted to see how they got to living like they did. The first act was just too much exposition. I recommend it, only if you've seen Spring Awakening.

Spice Up You Life

Every boy and every Girl....!! I loved the Spice Girls back in the day. I might not be at the concert, but I will get a few new singles from iTunes.

They're pure pop and fluff, but sometimes that hits the spot.

Settle for this or that

I was watching an episode from Sex and the City (Season 2 episode 2) and it was about what you can "live with" in a relationship. For me it depends. For me, I have are expectations.

• Do you do what you say you're going to do?
• Are you affectionate?
• Are a good listener?

I'm single and don't have too much experience in relationships, but from what I see, everyone settles. Everyone, says, "I can live with this or that, but not this. I can relate to that, but how much are you willing to stand for. That whole "love can conquer all" idea is bullshit. That's for the Hallmark cards and Valentine's Day are for. What conquers all is open communication and a willingness to be vulnerable in front of each other.

In that episode, Carrie's friend was in a abusive relationship and willing to stay her husband. This is the episode when Charolette gets the dog (Henry) who shits all over hear apartment. Char eventually gave him to a family, but realized that she and her dog weren't the right fit. That's where I stand. I'll try (almost) anything once, but if it doesn't fit there's no need to sit in a bunch of crap.

Psychology Today is a great site with some interesting articles about relationships! Check it out.

Central Park

For those of you who haven't been to NYC...this is one of my favorite places now and forever. Central Park (CP) is a great place to chill. These pics I took on my way from the Apple Store on Monday.

Don't forget this is just one small part of it.

Just beautiful.
