TWENTY FIVE

i was at my family's home in potomac, maryland. i was 21. something came over the little t.v. we had in the kitchen, "roosevelt hospital...standing outside...waiting for information." i spent the rest of the next week lying around just listening to the radio. every year i feel the same loss. "i should've known better" was the first song of my musical memory -- the 45 spinning on a box-record player, my father parading my 4-year-old-self around my bedroom on his shoulders. that harmonica lick is embedded in my soul. r.i.p john lennon~          

does anyone remember lawftah???

i know... i know

wars, tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, famine, genocide, right-wing zealots,
mcdonald's, nuclear meltdowns, "w," body odor, clogged
drains, meteors, e.coli, bird flu, corporate scandal, oprah
and tom and katie's baby are more important

but, can i just talk about me for two seconds?
me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a week in the life of ME:

"no!" "unfortunately not" "i don't think so" "yeah, tough luck" "it just isn't what we're looking for right now, but we'll keep your folder..." "that'll be $265.00 plus labor" "hi...this is the fraternal order of police" "i'd like it better if you just changed that one little..."

everyone can just kiss my fucking ass

thank you~                                                                                                   

A WORD TO THE WISE...

DON'T TELL ANYONE YOUR
DEEPEST SECRET UNLESS THEY
HAVE YOUR BEST INTEREST AT HEART

dorothy parker meets norman rockwell

whatever you thought about norman rockwell
probably isn't...well, what the hell do i know what
you think about norman rockwell!

after doing my dorothy parker show at the norman
rockwell museum last week in stockbridge, massachusetts,
(minus the profanities -- strictly verboten),
i learned that rockwell wasn't just about
Grandma's Perfect Turkey or Boy Scouts & Puppies

he was insecure-
he never considered himself a great artist-
and, he leaned way to the left

i love having my preconceived notions smashed!

(thank you tom, laura, stephanie and dale and
everyone who came out on that beautiful afternoon)
check it out~

FEAR...

leads to impotence, fanatacism and death--
gather all the courage you can and fight against
that most dangerous enemy of all

what is your worst fear?
what would you do to avoid it?

then...face it--head on

the world will be just that much better
and so will you

"voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.

that is easy. all you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to greater danger."

LONDON

returning to the u.s. after visiting
england, france, belgium and germany
(in six days), i'm saddened and shocked at the bombings
that occurred in london

just this past monday, july 4, i spent nearly 3 hours
on the london underground...

disgust and horror have hung around
me since i saw the pictures of blood and
debris strewn all over the streets i walked
only days ago~

better thank your lucky stars... 

THE BALLET MOMS' NIGHT OUT

i am not a mom, nor am i a participant in
the art of ballet (to my own mother's dismay)

but, i do belong to a very select group of
persons who share loose talk over alcohol
and fattening foods...

who knew that taking my neighbor's daughter

to dance class once a week would land me into

such a crazy group of wonderful friends

it's late and i have to pee...so for now this is all you get

you'll have to wait for the next installment

and, while i'm at it:

THANK YOU M.E. FOR GIVING ME WINGS~

GREEN DAY!

WWW.GREENDAYAUTHORITY.COM

FEEL THE GREEN~                                                                 

ahhh... 

birthdays

how old is too old to care about your birthday?

and, is it correct that a father and his two sons
consistently neglect the only daughter/sister they
have on that day?

i could take issue with them, however, it does
relieve me of any hypocritical involvement with the three

...i'm free~                                                                                               

the next step

there is a blog..."postsecret"

people confess their fears, regrets, dreams
obsessions on individually created postcards

just a few...
"i once tried to kill my mother"
"i think hitler was sexy"
"i love girl on girl porn, and i'm a little straight girl"

my secret:
(i used to really hate myself...now, i kind of like myself)

what's your secret?

green daze and cheese

this is my first posting and i'm really, really scared!!!!

fuck it--who really gives a shit anyway

for the record, my friend pat has told me i'm haven't
gone completely over the edge--
just on the very precipice

i'm going to paris to see green day in june--
not only am i going, but a wonderful human being
has granted me her frequent flier miles to
complete the trip

who does such a thing?

however, i'm pissed because i'm lactose & sulfite intolerant...
how the hell are you supposed to kick ass in paris without wine & cheese?

ah...sweet, sweet xanax~
