Random Thoughts

Been a while since I did this, but they are a plenty.

My dreams have been talking to me lately, both vividly and directly.

Mistakes made the past six weeks have me down, but they are all that kept me going during this time.
.
The kids have been out of control, but the stories are amazing.

If you ever want to know how much more money means to people than friendship, run a pool.

The hardest I've laughed in the last few days has been inside a taxi. Step it up people.

Facebook has me wondering if people honestly believe that their personal and/or family inadequacies are really societal issues. Parents need to be accountable for their children.

A year ago I talked on the phone 2-3 hours a day with friends.  Last month I spoke on the phone less than two hours total.

I've learned over the last year that physical pain is the single most exhausting thing one can endure. It makes me appreciate a few special people even more.

I personally don't believe in two common medical/psychological maladies, but I fit the bill for two of them and they are getting worse.

My greatest passion is actually tearing at me, because I have nobody to share it with, other than my Twitter followers.

Not eating three meals a day, sometimes not even one, does strange things to your body, but even more strange things to your mind. My heart breaks for those affected by famine and food insecurity.

Lack of human touch makes people cold.  Not because they don't crave it, but the fear it will remain true.

The best way to find out how your friends truly feel about you, is to watch how their significant others treat you when they are not there.

Sunrises are rarely as beautiful as sunsets, but the right circumstances mean you've had a hell of a night.

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...

Quickie Review - Finding Vivian Maier

While I thoroughly enjoyed the film, especially the first 15-20 minutes, I was a little bothered by the way the film played out. The interviews with the clearly disturbed brother, sister and the mother, who obviously, was in for a cut, didn't need to be in the film. Then the woman who suggested abuse, yet seemed to have her life defined by Maier, as she tried to muster every ounce of emotion and fake guilt. Her friend, more than happy to be party of the charade. People who talk about abuse for the first time, usually don't do so on camera. The fact these scenes were so prominent, shows that they felt wronged that they were not rewarded. Maloof on the other hand, seems to disappear from the documentary during this part, almost hiding away from the fact, he went from complete praise, to even making money off of her, to destroying her personal legacy. He almost mentions the family of boys taking care of her rent, as an afterthought. Her burial spot, never shown, yet a video of her...

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...
