Highlights from my week in NYC in short sentences:
The Mexican grandmother who cried on liftoff and landing on my flight home.
The couple who held hands across the aisle on takeoff on my flight home.
The exhiliration and smile I inevitably have on my face during liftoff
The Love and kindness I felt from so many people in NYC...it really is a special town...

Holy shit....so I'm walking home about an hour ago and where I live there are *one ways* in every direction...I'm just about to walk across the last intersection before my building and I look in the direction of the one way street (always look before crossing the street) and this pickup truck was kinda going a little too fast(He was coming up to a Red...

i was not actually offended by the original thread.
i was however not quite sure of what you were intending by it.
guarding one's culture and sharing it with others can depend on whether one feels that the enquiring party is being genuine about their apparent interest in it. this was rather ambiguous in the original content.
however, i was a bit choked by your response 'chill out'...and i was not sure if it was directed towards me.
in any case i'll share this: guarding the last remants of a battered culture after a few hundred years of genocide can make one react to such a statement as 'chill out' in a rather hostile manner. in my view, protecting what i have learnt and practised is a somewhat a personal and touchy subject. and while one tries to be open about it and to share it with others, one cannnot help but be on the opposite side of the spectrum - very protective and secretive.
again, i wasn't really offended by the post. however, i was dismayed at the possibility that people still might believe that First Nations peoples are still just a novelty.
unfortunately, i do believe that this is the case with far too many people today. for example, why else would there be so many sports teams using a race of people as a mascot? yet the 'negros', the 'caucasians' or the 'jews' are no longer sports teams since they were deemed offensive. (yes, actual team names any years ago)
perhaps when such 'small' things such as this are remedied, i'll quite my whining. until then, i can't help but raise an eyebrow about such things...or ambiguous comments.
i'm all for discussion. arguments are a waste of my time...and i'm not here to be hated because of words i might spout.
...and i don't assume the words i spout are right. maybe tomorrow i'll change them if i learn something new.

about the smiths, i think that juxposition is kinda another reason why i don't like it. that's not really my style...i mean i understand the message, but that inconsistancy irks me. but that's not to say it's a horrible combination, just that i wouldn't chose to express myself in such a way, and wouldn't really get much out of listening to it. thanks for the insight..nobody's ever really been able to justify listening to their music to me.

I've given up trying to fall back asleep...is it that my sickness has broke, is it the anxiety of my week ahead, is it thoughts of my pod-mates Dad dying and him not being into work, did I write the right thing on the card?, what about everyone else writing the 'same thing'...does that comfort?, That line in Invisible Monster "you cannat kiss what has...

i used to be an idealist, believing that i have a soulmate out there and i'll meet that person and it will be magical. (b/c i've felt it before, with my first love). i believed in fate, about loves that are meant to be.
i don't know anymore.
right now my standards are a lot different. i'm not looking for the one. i think looking doesn't really help anyway. i just want someone i have fun with, who's honest, blah blah blah. so i've been dating someone for almost a year now. we knew after a month we'd never fall in love. we're fundamentally different in many ways, but in general we get along great. so as long as things are good, why end it. occasionally i wonder if i'm missing out on meeting that *special person for me..the one, whathaveyou* but if there really is one person i'm going to connect that deeply with, i think it will happen anyway.
well enough rambling.
margaret cho is cool but i'll always adore janeane garofalo the most.

"My best friend Evie Cottrell, she's a Model. Evie says that beautiful people should never date each other. Together, they just don't generate enough attention.

mmm nope dont know what place you're talking about.
i wanted to do something with red lights but i dont know how to execute it or how it would be recieved with so many anti-prostitution people around here. honestly, i did think it was really degrading to see these young ladies sitting there in bra & panties just waiting for someone to buy them meanwhile being gawked at by tourists. but if i did, it would be very respectful. dont know if that will happen though. the pics i just took were somewhat inspired by the live sex show i saw though. can't give it away right now. you'll have to wait. heh
and of course the weed there is just so so much better than anything here. about a week or two after getting back, a friend and i had to smoke about 7 bowls of our old stuff to feel half the effects of 2 hits of a'dam stuff.

razor13:
is that an actual quote? oh yeah, i think patricia arquette would still work, but i think that if you recast it with crispin glover( and i agree, still kept d. hopper as dad) then you go for more over the top realism, like an underaged actress to work a lolita type obssession in to crispin's character, or even robert downey jr. playing a pre-op she male and work an denial insanity in( since the character was always talkin' to elvis hallucination) where he actually thinks halfling in drag is beautiful geargia peach, then you can use pat arquette for dream-like hallucination sequennces and limit damage her lack of acting ability does to script...ida know, i haven't been to the c.c. club in a long time, is it still there...
