Ten Things I Realized In The Last 24 Hours

1.  Today is the first day I've ever used my laptop on my lap.  Not the most comfortable thing.

2.  I could never be a suit and tie guy in NYC.  I'd be a pool of sweat before I even got on the Subway.

3.  I like the people I care about to check in, just like my mom made me.  Good grief!

4.  I have a complete inability to let things go at night and just go to sleep.  I worry about things like the parent of a teenager.

5.  Absence only makes the heart grow fonder if the heart wants it to.  Otherwise, it makes life much easier for one and more difficult for another.

6.  90% of Facebook posts are not original thoughts.  It's truly losing it's luster.

7.  A woman won $500,000 on a game show tonight for being a bigger bitch than her competitors.  At the same time, 42 million people live in poverty.

8.  Doing laundry at home as opposed to the laundromat is almost relaxing.  Something about folding clothes is soothing.  Aside from those fitted sheets.

9.  Spending time in someone's house without them there is a strange feeling.  I was looking for something that I normally knew its place and had to text them, because I didn't want to feel like I was snooping.

10.  The moment when someone else's pets show you unconditional love is a special feeling. Waiting for their owner to show it, is a painful process.

White Privilege

This was a post I wrote on Facebook after surprisingly not seeing any moaning about the Documentary by Jose Antonio Vargas, titled White People Dayyum! I just scrolled my timeline and not a single white person got their feelings hurt by White People. I unfortunately haven't seen it, but the number of fake accounts that popped up on twitter, tells me it was a damn good show. Here's the thing. If someone of color aka non-white says "White Privilege," are you offended? If you said yes, then you are exhibiting white privilege. It has nothing to do with how hard you work or study, how you stayed out of trouble, because here's the thing, that is entirely the point. Somewhere out there, there are 100 Black, Spanish, Native American, Arab, Asian, who worked and studied as hard as you and never got in trouble, but they don't have what you "earned" or achieved. Stop looking at the one person you know who isn't white that achieved as your benchmark. Loo...

Lists

Americans are obsessed with lists. Christmas Lists, Top Ten Lists, Shopping Lists, Hell, when I was a kid, one of the most popular books was aptly titled, The Book of Lists. We're obsessed. I make lists all the time and while I try to use the universally accepted limit of ten items, they rarely end up that way. That being said, lists are a terrible thing. I have never, not once in my life, used a shopping list. You know what I'm good at? Shopping. I buy what's on sale, forgoing the avocados this week and buying some peaches that looked ripe and at a bargain. I walk down every aisle and find things I'd never think to add to the holy list, but now see the large can is but 89 cents. Lists keep us from exploring. The inspiration for this, was not a rebuttal to a friends first blog, in which she lists things, proclaiming lists are a part of her life. No, this was inspired by a comical moment had at 5:18 in the morning. I went to get a glass of water and gazed in the frid...

If You Listen To One Speech - Lana Wachowski

http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/videos/lana-wachowski-opens-up-about-difficult-past-and-attempted-suicide-20121024 Today I saw a link to a video for a speech by Lana Wachowski.  The last name rung a bell, but I could't put my finger on it. Lana, used to be Larry, one of the writer, director, producers of the Matrix trilogy, V for Vendetta and the upcoming Cloud Atlas.  Lana is transgendered and has "come out" as a woman.  She was being honored by the Human Rights Campaign. I didn't know what to expect when this broad woman with crazy hair and a raspy voice began to speak.  She began with the usual pleasantries and told of her hair dresser. She then tells of her desire to be a quiet person and how hard the success of the Matrix movies made this.  The first ten minutes is telling of how she's not quite ready to be this spokesperson.  Then she speaks about the new movie Cloud Atlas and reveals the heart of the movie and this speech. She states,"The resp...
