This is my new favorite Prince video (and there have been oh so many!)



National Comedy Company, New Orleans

I was such a huge fan of his but I stopped being a fan after Lovesexy. Too much god and stuff.

But damn, I thought he was the bees knees from age 14 until ...well, until Lovesexy!

I also loved his friends (Vanity, Shiela E, Apollonia etc.) love
nessuno:
Prince, chickens and Michael Jackson sounds. Interesting.

It's weird how you see everything so differently from when you were a kid. I remember this movie actually being scary when I was 12. Man, I must'a been one screwed up kid!?

I heard this the other day. "I don't vote as a protest against the administration."

Similar to protesting the pre-WWII Nazi's by sitting quietly in the corner and averting your eyes.

Due to a fuck-up by the DMV - it took me 5 hours, 30 miles and a judge to vote today.

Don't like Bush? - vote.
Don't like the Democrats? - vote.
Don't...

My sentiments exactly. Here I thought I was the only one who saw the irony of this "great democracy" having such abysmal turnout rates. The Iraqi's, under threat of suicide bombing, have a better turnout rates that the US. That's just... Embarrassing.

Honestly the boards are getting annoying. Any good points put across are shot down and the majority of people just make the same statements and falsehoods again and again until someone gets tired of making thoughtful rebuttals. "Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth." I think Hitler or Gobbles said that and eerily, it seems like the rule of the forum. If you do post something message me so I can get in on the debate. I always know your posts, whether I agree with your points or not, will always be articulate and well thought out.

Trust me, if I were so good at phrasing arguments and citing precedents I'd try to do what you do. I find it really interesting.

Sorry I'm not very articulate today, I've been talking with this Austrian girl over IM and it's killing my grammar. It's painful. But worth it. biggrin

I also have been auditing a course with Saul Landau at AU... Free! If you don't know who he is google him. My father knows him through the Posada Carilles case and so I have been hard at work to exploit that connection, but only in the best possible way.

What's new with you aside from nasty microscopic biological organisms assaulting your body's defenses?

Hmmm, you might be right, though I think that spoiling your paper in protest in a less lazy way of saying - "There is no acceptable option".

So, I just got back my mid-term grade for Cellular Biology. The one I was all pissed about because (as a result of moving, and work) I did zero studying for and then took on two hours sleep.

I got an A.

I'm such a fucking over-achiever. No wonder my health's all fucked up :-)

But it did make my night.

P.S. Boo (Halloween.)

I am so happy you liked the new Bailey set! You will find behind the scenes info in my Oct. 31st journal entry. So did you notice the burning car?

Congrats. Kick ass.

Sorry you're sick.

At every turn I've taken the road less traveled - the road with the most interesting turns and twists and overhanging branches. When I stumbled across a mark, or map...or directions cut in the stone by some wizened traveler before me...I always took the other path. I called the path my own, although in reality it may have been nothing more than the path which...

Hi. My name is Vlad (Hi Vlad) and I'm a total Second Life whore.

I just discovered it. I'm such a sellout...but I'm totally hooked. It's basically like MySpace, but you can wear bat wings and fly around and have fun with people, with the sims mixed in.

Basically, it's like MySpace but doesn't suck. There's a huge amount of real life/Second life interaction...where people...

First day today - will keep you posted!

So, my biggest question is...how do you find "clients' (or how do they find you.) Problem being, they need the greatest majority of their advocacy while they're still in the "Do I even need to see a doctor" phase. How do you successfully get your advocacy service information distributed to people in that phase?

As an aside...have you heard of EMDR. As you advocate for people with psychological trauma - you would be fascinated by it. I learned about it years ago and now my brother-in-law is adding it to his professional repertoire.



I don't know how I find clients . . . I'm just starting that. So far it's been friends and friends of friends. I mean why pay when you've got me! (Sometimes I am overworked. wink .)

I have been sort of wishing to go into business with drs/a clinic and basically doing the humane work they have no time to do: like talk to patients.

I have heard of EMDR. I have a friend who LOVED it.

Dick Cheney walks into the President's office and tells him three
Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq today. Upon hearing the news Bush
turns white as a sheet, collapses into his chair with his head in his
hands and begins muttering "Oh my God, Oh my God."

Finally, after what seems an eternity, the President finds the strength to raise his
head and asks, "Exactly...

lol.

Hey,
Have you been following what Bush said about the Middle-East? "People say Iraq is distableizing the region. That is under the false" *checks documents for a moment before using new word* "premise" *mentally pats self on back for not screwing up* "That the Middle-East was stable to begin with." I just thought, wow. Is it just me or is he more and more presumptive everyday?

biggrin You make me smile at 3.30 am. That is a hard thing to do.

In saying that, if toulouse was pronounced with the louse sounding like the creature name, i might have everything to lose... wink

Yeah, that skirt is pretty cool and revealing, or were you referring to the PVC and Rubber ones? The rubber one hasn't turned up yet frown

Personally, I'm going to be found hiding under the bed.

Thanks for the words of wisdom.

Yeah, I kind of agree with the dreams. It makes sense really, in the same way when I twitch during the night it often turns into me tripping over, tripping down stairs, falling off pavements (sidewalks) in my dreams. Although I've never been conscious that I grind my teeth - my dentist has certainly never picked up on it. I don't know, as a child I had really bad teeth, and so when my baby teeth fell out, they often split apart either just before or after falling out - it means I know what it feels like, and then combined with a bad dental episode when I was 17 (root canal work and a bad reaction to the anaesthetic), it's always made sense that my dreams were connected to these experiences - I never remember having them prior to 17. Who knows? I'm just sure it has nothing to do with masturbation.

We don't do much Freud here really - the BPS (British Psychololgical Society) looks down on psychoanalysis, so it's not really something we have to cover in too much depth. It's seems strange it's a compulsory subject in other countries.

The problem with End-of-the-worlders is...there's always hope. Whenever you mention that it turned out not to be the end of the world, they can always respond with..."yet."

That's why the key to being a good apocalyptic is to never give an actual date. Stick with "Just around the corner." Eventually, they will be right. THEN they can give us all a big, fuck you, "I...

I just submitted a request to form an Aikido group on this site. I hope there will be a favorable response. Do you know of any other fellow students that might be interested?

From what I understand, Yoshinkan isn't entirely in the spirit of O Sensei's teachings. Soooooooooooooooooooooooo yeah... I really enjoy Soatome Sensei's take on the spirit of Aikido and thereby duly submit myself to it.

Obviously, I don't know the extent of your injuries, but you should go talk to your sensei about it. I know there were several people in my dojo with severe injuries that Sparkmen Sensei not only worked around but helped improve with his Aikido... it might be worth checking out... wink
