I know why there is so much unemployment. It's because of all these greedy people who have two or more jobs. I mean come on share the wealth a little.

Yeah, the Peepshow was great. Heather is gorgeous! There were probably about 50 or so people here to see them. Still, I would have thought there would be more.

It's winter storm round two. This past one doesn't seem so bad, here in Asheville at least. It wasn't as much snow as the first, and it mixed in with some freezing rain. It gave the snow a hard shell reminiscent of the shell on crme brule. It also cracks similarly when you walk on it.
I love the snow. I'm still a kid when...

I think Oscar Wilde would find this a delightful idea!

It's supposed to snow again Tues/Wed. Another foot or more. And it isn't going to get above freezing before then.
Awesome.

I think I'm on the verge of a mid-life crisis. I want to sell my stuff and disappear, or circumnavigate the globe. I'm starting to feel trapped in Asheville. Trapped in my comfort and routine. It's not that Asheville is a bad place to live, I am very active and have many friends here, but I feel I'm going nowhere. Projects, commitments, and jobs keep...

I think those thoughts are very normal for a creative person, and I can't deny that I have them sometimes. When I was younger I thought settling or putting down roots was the worst thing, and toxic to creativity. But I eventually realized that I would always procrastinate when it comes to pursuing my dreams, no matter if I'm married with a house or living "free" and roaming. So now I just choose to do what makes me happy and live in the moment. And oddly, settling down has made me happier than I've ever been. Though granted, I still have a lifestyle that seems abnormal to my neighbors.
I would say find out what makes you happy, whether it's wandering, being "upwardly mobile", having a family, whatever. There are a lot of different ways to be a happy grown-up. smile

I know exactly what you are going through and it sucks. All I ever have been able to do though is push through what I can and change the small things. It'll work itself out in the end, hopefully for the best for you. Thanks for the comment and best wishes. smile

Here we are at the end of another year. The end of a decade in fact. How did that happen? It's true what my parents say, It all goes by so fast. I spent New Year's 2000 in Asheville working at the Grove Park Inn. Here it is ten years later, and I'm still here, but in a far different place than back then. Still...

That part of Mexico looks beautiful.
marksy:
wOw, Mexico looks much nicer than when i was there last... but i was in a suburb of Monterrey where the houses were built from shipping pallets and they had no running water. three cheers for Barritos though. (my favorite flavors are apple and pineapple) ..... i have not played in Ashebille but will be sure to bring my "equipment" on my next visit.

There is nothing like being surrounded by thousands of people, whether it be in foreign countries, far away cities, or crowded shopping malls, all of which you'll never share a connection with, or even see again for that matter, to remind you how relatively insignificant you are.

Edward Scissorhands is a great one, but it's a tearjerker. At least for me.
I remember seeing it in the theater with my brother while my parents were Christmas shopping. I think it was the first movie that I ever cried at.
mantis:
Thanks. smile

One forgets it's Christmastime when one spends their week in 80 degree weather, wearing shorts, and sleeping in a hammock. However one can always depend on old man winter's chill to quickly blow one back into reality.

Here is a scene from the last production I was in, Hamlet, which closed a week ago.
I play Laertes, the son of Polonius, and brother to Ophelia. To set it up a little, I come back to avenge my father's murder by Hamlet. Claudius, The king and Hamlet's uncle, convinces me to kill Hamlet in a fencing duel set up by him, using...

Are you going to go? Have you ever seen them live before?
gadget:
I tried to remember how many times I'd seen them a few months back, but I could only remember about six different times but I know there were more.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. I'm going to be seeing Cinematic Titantic with the original members of MST3K.

If human activity accounts for the biggest negative impact on the environment, and one is interested in reversing our environmental impact, then it seems most logical thing to do is to stop reproducing.
sadista:
Stop making plastic crap might help too.
Then again, fewer babies=fewer plastic products. (Diapers, sippy cups, toys.) Two birds with one stone.
