cheers- ande

So, who's excited for Thursday nights vice presidential debates? I know I sure am! I cannot wait to hear what Sarah Palin--that bright eyed, 'sharp as a cookie', turtle-neck wearing alaskan hockey mom-- has to say about this countries economic crisis!! I only hope her answers in this VP debate are half as informative and "artistic" as they were when she was interviewed by katie couric last week!!


woo hoo!


God-bless America!

OKAY... So, I try not to get worked up too much about politics, various elections, the whole right winged left winged debate (NEVERENDING DEBATE seeing as we live in a DEMOCRACY.... I think*).... But, I just gotta say----

fuck you john mccain. what a low blow. pick a f&**cking woman to run with you only because you believe that we WOMEN are stupid enough to vote for somebody who's VP, aka, next in line would be a woman.
You know what, Obama could have easily appointed hillary clinton to be his running mate but he didnt for whatever reasons. Having that said, Obama is clearly an honest, charismatic, fresh, and did I mention HONEST polItician( would never put the two words by each but Obama, in my eyes- is an exception.
so what if he hasn't been in the senate all that long. In fact, I like that he hasn't been in the senate that long. To me, that means that he hasnt become bitter towards all the shit that goes on with politics.... that he hasnt been tainted and stained by their lies.... hasnt gotten tied to the bullshit. He's dreaming a big dream whole heartedly and that is what counts. hes got the Brains, the Love for the right reasons, and Heart.
It's unfortunate that the majority of political campaigns are based around negative attacks at least by one party if not both. McCain has attacked Obama over and over and Obama has taken the high road by not seeking out a negtive campaign. hes smarter than that--- he"ll win by all he is and what he can give... not by focusing on what others cant do and thier shortcomings (which are numerous!)

OBAMA has to win this election or this country is gonna sink even farther than it alreadt has..... thanks to the Bush/ Cheney administration.

Okay so its late and I'm tired of babling about this shit anymore.... the point is this--- dont be fooled by mccain choosing a woman to be his running mate. hes just trying to paint a pretty picture and win votes thats it.

she may be a good woman but it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out why mccain chose her as his running mate....

low blow mccain....

did i mention that he's OLD... seventy something years old! outdated policies... much outdated policies... could peel over any minute.... and who knows if he's senial yet or not!.. grrr


ok so...------>vote for obama... I truelly believe he is running this election to make a much needed change for the benefit of all.... this countrys in trouble and we need somebody REAL.... not a phony that chooses his VIP based on looks and the fact that she loves to hunt, supports the NRA wholeheartedly and, welp , is basically every meat headed republicans wet dream. sorry guys if im being to offensive but this is my blog and if you dont like ti--- then dont listen to it and go vote for that piece of shit mccain.

yeah....

Welcome to NYC. The Place where dreams test truth, a place that lets you in, a place that feeds on acceptance among other things....
Welcome to NYC where everyones a critic-- pulling you let and right... leaves you in doubt and at times, shear fright. The question you'll meet when 20 something and lost, usually is associated with time, loliness and thought. who you really are and what you want to be.... how long can you withstand the responsibility of a dream? Welcome to NYC, the place where you meet yourself, when your at your lowest low and theres no one to help....

no one to dig you out but yourself

A city of extremes-- one day your great, the next you wanna scream, "take me home, i wanna leave!".

Welcome to NYC where the bright lights and fancy labels come with empty promises---nothing less than fable.

Having that said.... I regret to inform everyone that the album release party at Crash mansion set for Sept.17th has been canceled. Apparently some people just arent man enough to return a call or show a little respect.

OH WELL- what goes around comes around... that, my friend, never fails.

so again, i appologize for the cancellation but we had no choice...

These guys are brilliant... great humor- very clever. I play the "mistress"... (whats new?!) haha...

My ass is bruised?  Is that normal? 

No I have not been trying any new kinky sex moves....
and I didnt fall drunk....

I got a bike!!

Yup, I'm officially a Williamsburger (pronounced hamburger minus the ham and add williams) with my new play-mate.  I feel like a kid again!  I haven't even had 'ole grey' (unofficial name) for 24 hours and already I've rode em' around brooklyn, across the williamsburg bridge, lower east side, to a bar, around southern manhattan and back to bk!!  .... that was last night.... and let me just say one thing--- riding across williamsburg bridge for the first time is wuite a task!  I thought i was gonna die of a heart attack!  fuck running- bike riding is real exercise... although I'm sure I would have thought I was going to die if I had ran accross the williamsburg bridge as well.... haha... anyways...

if your thinking about buying a bike-- dont hesistate!  buy one!  if your not a million pounds and enjoy going fast, saving money, etc., etc., buy a bike! 

cheers!

ps- the feeling of adventure and freedom/ "the world is my playground" is pretty cool too ; )

So happy presidents day to all you hung-over "stoked to have the day off" 9-fivers!  It's a beautiful one, thats for sure... at least here in New York City-- where its over 60 degrees.

I dont know about you all but I absolutely cannot stand the winter here in NYC.  It's bitterly cold, you have to walk everywhere, and the subway tunnels are cold... and we wait like miserable cows for the train.  And as a result of all thee above-- everybody is seemingly mean and crabby.... and, umm- I am no different.
 In fact, I thought I was getting seriously depressed. I would wake up and feel like life was dead.  Even if I had things to do, errands to run, I did not feel there importance justified me stepping foot outside my brooklyn where I have a basement room with no window and no closet. 
Soo... just as I was getting ready to throw in the towel and go confess my low state to a therapist (pronouned "the rapist") in hopes of getting some instant relief ("happy pills"---welcome to america), presidents day came... and a taste of spring, what life is gonna be like in a month or two, came to me.  Above and beoyond that, I found myself.  Happy and unseemingly ambitious through my six hours of awkward slumber coming off a crazy night bartending, I woke up this around 1:00pm and walked for fourty minutes with no real destination in sight.  I was just so relieved to feel alive again... I had to take it all in.

thats all for now... umm... it looks like its going to thunderstorm now... haha.... irony's a mother fucker!!

: P

cheers!

Sooo today kinda sucked. Everybody was on my case--- one scenario after another. This city is so fast paced I can hardly keep up with everyone. Perhaps I need a manager or something. Not to say that I'm sooo important and need an asistant but I'm finding it hard to focus on the artisitc side of what I do because I keep getting caught up in business matters .... Hell I dont know. I haven't slept all to well in the past two weeks and although i feel functionable.... I dont feel good errr happy. I feel like its been one big day and every moment becomes a memory so everytime something bad happens, I start to think of all the other bad things that happened that "day" (a week-- one big day...) and end up feeling like shit... Like a failure.

They say you need sleep to dump the excess crap out of your head to be able to think clearly for the day ahead.... and I totally agree. Sometimes its just not easy to sleep in a high pressure town like this, alone, on a futton, in 95 degree weather.

Damn I need a VACATION.

peace out

Today was so awesome. I usually am not a fan of Sundays but this Sunday was different. Perhaps it was the change of weather outside-- sunny, warm, quite the change from the bitter and bruttle cold, windy and gloomy bullshit we've been having. Or, maybe it was because I made a nice fat wad of cash at work last night.

Yeah, it's probably a combination of the two....
Anyhow, lemme just tell you a bit about what I did today..

I woke up around 10:30. The sun was shining and the kids were outside laughing and playing ball across the street. I could have (some would say SHOULD have..) gone back to sleep since I had just retired 3 hours prior but I just couldn't do it. It was soo great outside, I didnt want to sleep. I mean, FINALLY, I can start enjoying New York again!...

Next, I rehearsed a bit with my window wide open. I love open windows and fresh air, even when its not a perfect 72 degrees fareheit outside... but seeing as it was a perfect 72 degrees outside--- whoo hoo!!
After rehearsing, I called a girlfriend back withwhom I had not spoken to in quite some time. We talk a bit and she told me that she just got back from "the park." "Central Park?", I ask, and she says--- "yeah, its soo crowded".... so I'm thinking, yeah--- I'm deffinately going to go to Central Park and post up on that great lawn, catch some Z's, people watch, read, what-have-you.
.. And I did. I immediately left my appartment after speaking with her and hoped on the train to the greatest park in the world in the greatest city in the world.
As expected, the park was packed... and I mean PACKED. It was Awesome! I mean the great lawn was not green... it was "human"... as in it was blanketed with people.
I found a spot on the ground, threw my bag down, and laid out. I dont think I really fell asleep but I was soo damn relaxed. After about an hour of complete "meditation"/ laying in the grass with my eyes shut not sleeping but at peace, I wondered my way over to the upper west side. There, I went into a Barnes and Noble and spent a good 2 hours in there brousing around. I found the book I had been looking for called "The Secret" and began reading it while drinking a coffee in the upstiars cafe. I fell in love, bought it, and left.
That's really the highlight of my day.... I skipped some parts but, hey, I'm kickin' it on a Sunday and I dont have to end this ongoing state I'm in with some funny ending. So I dont have a point to this here blog or a really good reason for writing it other than I like to share. Wouldn't you rather hear about a good day then a bad day? Yes, I know bad stories tend to be more interesting at times but you have to take the time to appreciate the good.
I dont know where I'm going with this so I think I'll just stay on this frequency and wish you all a great April 22nd, a lovely year, and to smile because its warm now and spring is here.


cheers
