Amor Fati

I (haven't) got a crush

2007-08-28T18:12:00.000-07:00

So, for the first time in a long time, I realized today that I am without a crush. No one. I was singing Johnny Cash's "time's a'wastin" and realized that I have no one specific person with whom I wish to waste time. It's not that I don't like his general idea of wasting time, in fact I'm a big fan, but aside from Mr. Cash himself, I'd rather take up a hobby. I'm not sure when this happened, perhaps the revolving door of officer and a gentleman look a likes this summer showed me the power in the microcrush and got me out of the habit, but I can't put a born on date on this lack of feelings. Most of all, I think I'm fairly happy being crush free. Let's see how long it lasts.

ASHBURN, Va. -- A paintball shot in the groin left rookie LaRon Landry unable to practice when the Washington Redskins opened their minicamp Friday.

The No. 6 overall pick in this year's draft was injured during a team-building outing Wednesday, when coach Joe Gibbs allowed the players to leave early at the end of the voluntary spring workouts. Some players went bowling or had lunch together, while many of the defensive players went to play paintball.

"I didn't know paintball was that dangerous," linebacker Marcus Washington said. "I hope it wasn't friendly fire."

Landry was on the sidelines when practice began, but within minutes he left and began laboring slowly up the hill toward the team's main building, appearing to favor his left leg.

Gibbs said Landry should be fine after a couple of days' rest.

"It's kind of bizarre," Gibbs said. "Almost anything can happen in life, so every now and then something like that does happen."

The past week has seen a major transformation in my life. Going from a care free, flip-flop wearing student to a hosiery wearing, morning train taking Easterner. In a moment of self-reflection on Monday (about 26 hours after touching down), I realized just what I'd become. I had taken the 6:30 train home and was standing in front of the basement refrigerator, digging around for something to drink, with my dress shirt undone and a cross and medallion hitting my wife beater while I yelled at the kids becuase they were making me late for my Yankees-Sawks viewing. Apparently, the East Coast version of myself is Henry Hill.

Thankfully, I'll be seeing a lot of my original crew, even as I leave them. They seem to follow me, but I'm grateful we won't have to wait for thousands of years. Times are changing and I'm going to be missing a lot of people. But when you have this cutie to look forward to, who wouldn't pack up and move thousands of miles.

MONTCLAIR, N.J. (AP) -- New York Giant defensive end Michael Strahan's ex-wife held a posh garage sale Saturday at her Montclair mansion, allowing bargain hunters to sift through and cart away the defunct millionaire couple's cast-offs.

Items on sale outside of the $3.6 million home included cocktail dresses, a bronze football statue, handmade rugs, antiques and a set of cassette tapes on how to make relationships survive.
Diehard Giants fan and Montclair resident Jamal Callaway walked away from the sale with two televisions, with 32- and 20-inch screens, for only $100.

"I get to cheer for Mike on his TV," Callaway told The Star-Ledger of Newark.

When asked if the televisions were flat screens, he replied: "She's not that mad at him."

Jean Strahan is fighting to get the $6.5 million she says her ex-husband still owes her following their 2005 divorce, a legal proceeding that became notorious for its mudslinging.

In court papers filed last month, she claimed that she can't afford to keep the 30-room mansion, which has an eight-car garage and clear views of the New York skyline.

In January, a judge awarded her $15.3 million and set child support at $18,000 a month. Michael Strahan has paid more than half of the money but is arguing that the remaining $6.5 million is too much.

'LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Cate Blanchett is in negotiations to star opposite Harrison Ford in the long-awaited fourth installment of the "Indiana Jones" series, her publicist confirmed Saturday.

"She is in negotiations, yes," publicist Lisa Kasteler told The Associated Press. She did not elaborate.

Filming is scheduled to begin later this year, with Steven Spielberg on board to direct. The movie is being produced by "Star Wars" creator George Lucas' Lucasfilm Ltd.

Ford played Indiana Jones in 1981's "Raiders of the Lost Ark," 1984's "Temple of Doom" and 1989's "The Last Crusade."

Blanchett, who won a best supporting actress Oscar in 2004 for "The Aviator," starred in last year's "Notes on a Scandal" and "Babel."'

Let's just hope she's more evergreen than Kate Capshaw.

"The creative team and original stars from cult movie LA Confidential are in talks to re-team for a sequel to the movie, going head-to-head with another sequel starring George Clooney. Director Joe Carnahan is also directing a follow-up to the film based on author James Ellroy's book White Jazz. According to entertainment website Tmz.com, another sequel is being planned by the film's original director Curtis Hanson. Hanson's version wouldn't rely on the plot of White Jazz and would instead pick-up where LA Confidential ended. The sequel would reunite original stars Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce and Kim Basinger, who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in LA Confidential.

The DEPARTED, of course.
I didn't watch the Oscars, so what I'm saying is totally unsubstantiated and biased. Pretty much like it always is. But here are my humble thoughts on the night that all of Lakewood lives for:

The Hair
First of all, it seems that long, straight hair is back. Yeah. After four years of Terry Hatcher inspired, very difficult to execute spirals, it appears that straighter heads prevailed, ie, Nicole Kidman, Gwyneth, and Reese. (On another note, it seems that Philip Seymour Hoffman and Nicole Kidman are both on tract to be completely bald by 2020). There were some exceptions, such as Naomi's gorgeous curls. Is their a way I can get a hair transplant from her? I would die a happy woman.

The gowns were typical. Cate looked fab, but her dress had a Halloween vibe. Rachel Weisz brought it. Gwyneth wore a bra and found how out how wonderful it looked. Helen Mirren is babe, and looked both age appropriate and young (seriously, amazing), while Jodie Foster is looking like the old dike people say she is. JLO and Niaomi Watts both looked pregnant. And Penelope Cruz wore a gown that looked like it was designed by Sir Mixalot ( I like big...). Jessica Biel needs to wear a bra.

The men looked pretty fabulous, but whats up with the greased back hair; I love it on Michael Corleone, but Toby Maguire, don't even think about it. I get it with Leo (he likes to see his own reflection in his hair), but come on George. Your better than that. There were lots of great baldies this year (Forrest and Will to name a few). Jackie wasn't one of them. He looked like a deranged Mr. Clean. Tom Cruise looked good and sufficiently not crazy. Lastly, Markie Mark rocked my world. (What's new).
About the movies
Scorsese won an Oscar the same year Peyton won a Super Bowl. Where's Karl Malone? I'm stoked about the Departed. I still need to see most of those movies.
Finally, who told her she could come.

That's so Michigan...

The superbowl confetti has settled and the combine is still two weeks away, baseball will have to fill my sports void. The sport has obliged me with two great stories.

1.His Gradyness-
In 2006, Grady Sizemore led the American League in runs scored (134), doubles (53) and extra-base hits (92). Granted, 92 extra-base hits isn't as impressive as it once was. In 1995, Albert Belle became the first American Leaguer since 1940 to top 90 extra-base hits, but since then it's been done nine times in 11 seasons.

What's really impressive is the sort of player Sizemore is: powerful enough to collect 92 extra-base hits and speedy enough to bat leadoff. In fact, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, those 92 long hits were the highest total for a major league leadoff man since at least 1957. Also last season, Sizemore became the second player in major league history to finish with at least 50 doubles (actually 53), 10 triples (11), 20 homers (28) and 20 steals (22) in the same season. The first was Phillies outfielder Chuck Klein, who played in the 1930s, and his home ballpark was the prototypical bandbox.

Granted, Sizemore's statistical blend of power, speed and defense in 2006 doesn't mean he's the equal of -- let alone better than -- Ty Cobb and Willie Mays, just because he's done something that they didn't do, precisely. Mays never hit 50 doubles in any season. He did hit more than 10 triples in five seasons and more than 40 home runs in six seasons. He stole more than 30 bases in three seasons. Statistics do not lie, but they can be misleading.

Grady Sizemore led all American League center fielders with a .375 OBP in '06.
Statistically, only one player in major league history is truly similar -- considering the raw stats -- to Sizemore through his age 23 season (2006). That player is Duke Snider, who, like Sizemore, played sparingly in the majors at 21, emerged as a top center fielder at 22, and became a legitimate star at 23. While it's hard to imagine Sizemore's someday rivaling Cobb and Mays for the affections of baseball historians, it does not seem far-fetched to suggest that Sizemore might really be considered in Snider's class. And Snider's in the Hall of Fame.

Perhaps what's most interesting about Sizemore is that few saw him coming. Yes, the Indians were thrilled when they picked him up in the 2002 trade that sent Bartolo Colon to the Expos. But after Sizemore completed that season, all of which he spent in Class A, the mavens at Baseball America did not rank Sizemore among the game's top prospects. The next season, though, he did establish himself as the Indians' No. 1 prospect. I asked the club's assistant general manager, Chris Antonetti, when they realized just how good Sizemore might be.

"It is difficult to pinpoint a specific moment," Antonetti wrote in an e-mail message on Tuesday. "Even before we traded for him, we knew that Grady was an exceptional person and competitor with tremendous athletic ability. While we certainly liked his baseball skills and thought he had a chance to be a very good player at the time of the trade, I can't tell you that we thought he would be among the best players in baseball. To his credit, Grady has achieved to his remarkable potential through an unrelenting work ethic, incomparable intensity and dedicated commitment to the game. He is a special talent but an even more impressive person, teammate and competitor."

Of course, there are a lot of impressive players in professional baseball, and few of them develop as Sizemore has. You pay your money and take your chances, and the acquisition of Sizemore might someday be hailed as one of the cannier in this century.

In terms of both ability and performance, then, Sizemore is "hot." (DUH!) But that's not the only reason he's the subject of this essay. He had the ability and the performance last year, and few fans outside of Cleveland and fantasyland even noticed. What makes Sizemore hottest is his team, which is poised to jump from fourth place to first place. If that happens, people are going to be looking for explanations, and "Grady Sizemore" is the best candidate, given his youth, his talent, and (yes) his looks.

But a baseball career is not a mirrored ladder, with the first half trending inexorably upward, the second half downward. The general trends might look like that -- actually, we know they do -- but if you graph a player's performance by age, you'll see what looks like a staircase that isn't sure what it's trying to do. What's most likely is that Sizemore, like Snider before him, will drop off some in his third full season, if only because his 2006 was so brilliant that a repeat is unlikely. He will rank as one of the best players in the American League, and at this point the only question is how long it takes before everybody knows it.

2. A truly amazing story. I know this isn't the manwall, but this man will get his chance.

I like question 12 the best

From todays NYT
Relationship experts report that too many couples fail to ask each other critical questions before marrying. Here are a few key ones that couples should consider asking:

1) Have we discussed whether or not to have children, and if the answer is yes, who is going to be the primary care giver?

2) Do we have a clear idea of each other’s financial obligations and goals, and do our ideas about spending and saving mesh?

3) Have we discussed our expectations for how the household will be maintained, and are we in agreement on who will manage the chores?

4) Have we fully disclosed our health histories, both physical and mental?

5) Is my partner affectionate to the degree that I expect?

6) Can we comfortably and openly discuss our sexual needs, preferences and fears?

7) Will there be a television in the bedroom?

8) Do we truly listen to each other and fairly consider one another’s ideas and complaints?

9) Have we reached a clear understanding of each other’s spiritual beliefs and needs, and have we discussed when and how our children will be exposed to religious/moral education?

10) Do we like and respect each other’s friends?

11) Do we value and respect each other’s parents, and is either of us concerned about whether the parents will interfere with the relationship?

12) What does my family do that annoys you?

13) Are there some things that you and I are NOT prepared to give up in the marriage?

14) If one of us were to be offered a career opportunity in a location far from the other’s family, are we prepared to move?

15) Does each of us feel fully confident in the other’s commitment to the marriage and believe that the bond can survive whatever challenges we may face?

Doesn't she know that you're leaving this time

You're pacing the floor like you're going somewhere
You run your hands gently through her hair

Caryn's 7 Stages

2007-01-09T13:31:00.000-08:00

(For those of us who need more than 5.)

Last night was one of single the worst three hour spans I have ever experienced. My world fell apart at 8:45 PST and I don't know how to put it back together. 41-14.

How does this happen? I was in class for the first quater, but I don't think that had an impact. Tressel has never let me down and I never imagined that the Sweater Vest would be watching as a whole belief system failed.
It's like someone dislocated all my limbs, set them imporoperly, allowed me to be stung by 100 yellow jackets and then catapulted me on the 55 Eastbound at 6:10 on a Thursday evening.

1. Shock.

2. Profanities that sometimes involved people's parents.

3. Sadness: from about 8 o'clock on I sounded like a wounded animal whining while Farmer Joe loads his rifle.

4. Anger.

5. Blame. The refs for all the questionable calls. The BCS. Fox, for putting in so far away from the game. ESPN for talking OSU up so much. Mr. Murdoch. Myself. Jim Tressel. God (for letting that happen to Ginn).

6. Barginning. At one point I asked God to allow Ohio to win this game, even if we have to lose to Michigan next year. (Considering that He didn't hold up His end of the bargin, I assume Ann Arbor next year is a lock.)

7. Cardio. As soon as the game ended I hit the rowing machine for in a last ditch effort to produce some endorphins. Few things normally make me happier than rowing with Mike and the bots. Did it make me want to sing zippiddy doo dah? Zippiddy Day? No, but at least it gave me a nondestructive outlet for my feelings.

I doubt I will ever reach 'accpetance', nor will I become a famed palative care worker, but these seven stages helped me walk through the Valley of the Shadow, and out of the Valley of the Sun.

Follow Through

2007-01-08T16:12:00.000-08:00

Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?
I, haven't felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet

As I begin 2007 I am faced with more questions than answers. I don't where I am going. I don't how I will get there. I don't know who and what I will take with me. Every new opportunity seems to present me with more questions, more choices, more decisions. I am the personal equivalent to the Miami Dolphins. I have a general destination in mind, but no idea of how I will get there. In the midst of all this uncertainty, the one thing that I am sure of is my need to follow through. Though only a week into the year, Gavin's song by this same title is becoming the theme song of 2007. No matter what path I end up taking, I have to follow through.
Go Buckeyes!

And I, all I really want is you
you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through

"I want to start a movement of home shooled emos -- homos"
The only thing bigger than his embarrassment was my laughter. And I think the people in front of us thought it was pretty funny too.

NYT
By ERIN N. MARCUS, M.D.
Published: November 21, 2006

MIAMI, Nov. 20 — When I was a new faculty physician, I worked with a resident doctor who was smart and energetic and took excellent care of her patients.
There was just one problem. As she delivered her thoughtful patient presentations to me and the other attending doctors, it was hard not to notice her low-cut dress.

“You two have to say something to her,” one of my male colleagues said to me and another female doctor one afternoon. But while none of us would have hesitated to intervene had she prescribed the wrong drug for a patient, we felt weird saying something to her about her clothes. So we didn’t.

Nearly a decade later, my impression is that more young physicians and students are dressing like that resident. Every day, it seems, I see a bit of midriff here, a plunging neckline there. Open-toed sandals, displaying brightly manicured toes, seem ubiquitous.

My observations may partly reflect the city in which I work, Miami, a subtropical place known for its racy clothes. But colleagues who practice elsewhere report that they, too, have seen medical students and young doctors show up for clinical work in less-than-professional attire.

“Poor choice is not regional — I’ve seen it everywhere,” said Dr. Pamela A. Rowland, a behavioral scientist and director of the office of professional development at Dartmouth Medical School, who has studied the impact of physician clothing on patient confidence. “It always surprises me when there are dress codes for staff but not for physicians.”

Among older and middle-aged physicians (like myself), tales of salacious and sloppy trainee attire abound. One colleague commented that a particularly statuesque student “must have thought all her male patients were having strokes” when she walked in their exam room wearing a low-cut top and a miniskirt. Another complained about a male student who came to class unshaven, even though he hadn’t been on call the night before. One Midwestern medical school dean reported that her school instituted a formal dress policy after administrators noticed students revealing too much flesh while sunbathing on a small patch of grass outside the school building, directly below patients’ hospital room windows.

Patients and colleagues may dismiss a young doctor’s skills and knowledge or feel their concerns aren’t being taken seriously when the doctor is dressed in a manner more suitable for the gym or a night on the town. There are also hygiene considerations: open-toed shoes don’t protect against the spills that commonly occur in patient care, and long, flowing hair can potentially carry harmful bacteria.

“Patients don’t have your c.v. in front of them, and appearance is all they have to go by,” Dr. Rowland said. “If you don’t meet their expectations, their anxiety level increases.”

In a study published last year in The American Journal of Medicine, patients surveyed in one outpatient clinic overwhelmingly preferred doctors photographed in formal attire with a white coat to photos of doctors in scrubs, business suits and informal clothes — jeans and a T-shirt for men, an above-the-knee skirt for women. The patients also said they were more likely to divulge their social, sexual and psychological worries to the clinicians in the white coats than to the other doctors.

Plaintiffs’ attorneys sometimes ask about a doctor’s attire in malpractice depositions, Dr. Rowland said. Her research has also found that physician clothing can influence scores on board certification oral exams, in which a senior doctor assesses a younger doctor’s medical knowledge.

“You don’t want to look too attractive to be serious,” she said, adding that “a certain amount of the nerd factor” can help a doctor’s performance.

Historically, doctors have dressed differently from the rest of the population, and the doctor’s uniform in the Western world continues to evolve. Hippocrates advised doctors to be “clean in person” and “well dressed” but also recommended that they be “plump” and anoint themselves with “sweet-smelling unguents.” The white coat itself became a staple for Western doctors in the early 20th century. More recently, the British Medical Association recommended that doctors on hospital wards not wear ties, because they are seldom washed and can carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Many medical schools have dress codes (my employer, the University of Miami, specifies that students have hair “of a natural human color,” among other things). But enforcement is often left up to faculty members and thus can be haphazard.

Last year, I sent home an otherwise excellent student because her feet were clad in shoes that looked like flip-flops (though she claimed they were expensive leather sandals). I felt guilty about it at the time, since it meant she missed an afternoon of clinic. But I doubt she’ll ever wear them in front of patients again.

And I wonder about that resident with whom I worked many years ago. Do patients and colleagues underestimate her abilities? Ultimately, we didn’t do her a favor by pretending to ignore her clothes.

Dr. Erin N. Marcus is a general internist and assistant professor of clinical medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

He was drafted the year I was born!

... I am living it.
I have a head cold and can't sleep, which means that this week must be a biggie. BING! The heat element under the wok of my life has been turned up to 'seer'. Apps looming, papers due, pages to read, tests in everything, birthdays, friends, work, OSU and Michigan. EVERYTHING.
And it hasn't just been this week, this whole fall has been full of the crazies. Crazy 90 degree highs, crazy teachers, crazy math, crazy football. Both the Browns and the 49ers won yesterday. The 49ers have the same record as Cinci. Crazy.
Speaking of football, everyone is saying that OSU is going to win, and I'm worried that they're going to jinx it.
Life is crazy. Thankfully, I have breathrite strips, Vicks Vaporub and Cary and Co. to help me make it through.

To be a woman in love with a man in search of the flame

2006-11-07T14:18:00.000-08:00

When you look over your shoulder
And you see the life that youve left behind
When you think it over do you ever wonder?
What it is that holds your life so close to mine

You love the thunder and you love the rain
What you see revealed within the anger is worth the pain
And before the lightning fades and you surrender
Youve got a second to look at the dark side of the man

You love the thunder and you love the rain
You know your hunger like you know your name
And I know you wonder how you ever came
To be a woman in love with a man in search of the flame

Draw the shade and light the fire
For the night that holds you and calls your name
And just like your lover, knows your desire
And the crazy longing that time will never tame

You love the thunder and you love the rain
You know your hunger like you know your name
I got your number if its still the same
You can dream
But you can never go back the way you came

2. Elizabeth Mitchell is amazing.
3. I woudn't mind digging ditches if Sawyer was doing it with me.

-All those Grey's Anatomy promos that seem to be everywhere have ruined "How to Save a Life" for me. ABC, stay away from my music.
-John Mayer's new album came out, and somewhere Jack Johnson is wondering around (barefoot), looking for the man whole stole his sound.

you're nothing to me now. You're not a brother, you're not a friend. I don't want to know you or what you do. I don't want to see you at the hotels, I don't want you near my house. When you see our mother, I want to know a day in advance, so I won't be there. You understand?

Today I bought and wrapped my first Christmas present. 107 days!

college football started! and other weekend happs

2006-09-03T16:03:00.000-07:00

This weekend I said goodbye to a friend who I won't see for another year, and a lifelong friend who, for the first time in 19 years, won't live within a 20 minute drive (I don't really count the stint at BIOLA). Today I joined the world in saying goodbye to Andre Agassi. If the last 30 hours was a chocolate it would be bittersweet. but totally worth it.

Cleveland Low Life. We found this gazebo and camped out after dessert at Ruta's(!) and discussion of my two for one marriage. A rather nervous 13 year old boy took this picture ,while his rather excitable mother looked on.

Colin, Morgan, and Catherine at the SC pier.

Good times. Over, but I still have the pictures (not necessarily a blackmail threat). And Andre, this is one case where it's ok to cry in public. Go Buckeyes!

-This is my dream man.

Say hello to Mrs. Caryn Gavin

-Walking out of Felder's class last night I got an eyeful through a picture as the drawing class next door was working on the finishing touches on the human form. In this case the form was a 65 year old man (think Sir John Gielgud in his later days-) with paper thin skin that hung in bags off his limbs. and everywhere else.
At that moment I was incredibly grateful that I picked Lit over Art.

Stop our culture of senseless dog cross-breeding.

A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal,
but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.

Mixing a poodle and a German Shepard? Now that's cruel.

Boston by Augustana

She said I think I'll go to Boston...
I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name,
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,
I think I'll get a lover and fly em out to Spain...
I think I'll go to Boston,
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind...
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset,
I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice...
Boston... where no one knows my name...

Road Trip

2006-08-08T16:33:00.000-07:00

All has been quite over in this region of the blogosphere for the last week as the rest of my life picked up speed. Last Wednesday Catherine and I packed up the Park, and, along with Dani California, headed up the 101. After meandered up the coast we landed at my maternal grandfathers home for a long weekend of baileys, food, frolicking in the pool, family and generally being spoiled rotten.

Eating breakfast on an empty beach in Carpenteria.

Catherine and I with our niece Bella

Right before I dunked Colin

Poolside

Like everything in life, I searched for the lesson to be found on the winding road of life. These are the ones of RoadTrip06:
1. If Buick were articles of clothing, they would be Members Only jackets.
2. Popey's in always a good idea. Who doesn't like Flava?
3. Roadkill Blackjack might be the coolest game ever. (The record: 21 in 90 miles).
4. Woodside is the closest thing to perfection on Earth.
5. No man will ever love me more or take better care of me than my dad, granddad, and brothers. I have been ruined.

An out of focus selfy. because there just aren't enough pictures of Rand on the internet.

He's got a crush

2006-07-26T17:23:00.000-07:00

When my pass came in, you dropped the ball
It didn't change the way I feel
And I was wishing I'd break down your walls
The kiss will know if the lips stay still
There is a line I crossed
And when you missed I lost
I'm not a loser
Girl, you know that I'll be back again
My dear, I went for the steal
Maybe it was rushed
Oh, my crush,I've got a crush
I suppose that I could hold it in
But you excite my every cell
Sources say that sense are your friends
My senses say that I should tell
You that I"m not ashamed
You might just feel the same
But have to try it
If you're ever really going to know
My dear, I went for the steal
Maybe it was rushed
Oh, my crush, I've got a crush
I want to
I need to
I have to have you
You're so much to touch
Girl, you're too much
And I can't control it - You've got me all over the road
My dear, I went for the steal
Maybe it was rushed
Oh, my crush
Damaging my soul
You blew me off, but I don't mind
i just get better with time
And so do you
So do you
My crush

Pull the hair back from your eyes
Let the people see your pretty face
Try not to say anything weird

Save your questions without answers
'Til your old enough to know that things ain't as they appeared

Before you go out in the sun
Cover your skin and don't get burned
Beware the cancer, it might kill you when you're old

Be first in line, raise your hand
Remember everything you hear
And playing in the rain is worth catching cold

Sooner or later
We'll be lookin' back on everything
And we'll laugh about it like we knew what all was happening
And someday you might listen to what people have to say
Now you learn the hard way

We only want what's best for you
That's why we tell you what to do
And nevermind if nothing makes sense

'Cause it all works out in the end
You're just like us without a friend
But you can build a privacy fence (Yeah)

Somethings you have to learn them all on your own
You can't rely on anybody else
Or the point of view of a source unknown
If it feels good and sounds nice
Then it's your choice don't doubt yourself
Don't even think twice

Pull the hair back from your eyes
Let the people see your pretty face
You know they like it when you smile (Find a reason to smile)

Try not to focus on yourself
Share that love with someone else
Don't let the bitters bring you down (Down)
Don't let anything bring you down

-Happy Birthday, Hayden
-If I ever own a nightclub it would be named Id.
-If Lauren Hutton and Lawrence Fishburne ever had children they would be born without front teeth.
-At some point in my life I want to be a long distance relationship with a man in Cleveland so that I could call and sing "I wanna tell you everything, I wanna make your toes curl, You'll be my only boy, And I'll be your only girl
There's not much I can say, You're in Cleveland today,You're in Cleveland today" into his voice mail.

The most powerful piece of blank verse in my life

2006-07-12T16:26:00.000-07:00

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering
experience…I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and
recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before
you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you
imagine. Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm
on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you Sing Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with
people who are reckless with yours. Floss Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes
you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with
yourself. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you
succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your
life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they
wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year
olds I know still don’t. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone. Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe
you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky
chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t
congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your
choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. Enjoy your body,
use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people
think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever
own.. Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them. Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for
good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the
people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you
should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and
lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you
knew when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live
in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will
philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize
that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were
noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund,
maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one
might run out. Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will
look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who
supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of
fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the
ugly parts and recycling it for more than
it’s worth. But trust me on the sunscreen…

Miracle Man

2006-07-09T18:19:00.000-07:00

One time, I was at this party... and I was sitting on the couch with Amanda McKinney. She was just sitting there, looking beautiful. So, I lean in to kiss her, and I realize I have gum in my mouth. So, I turn to spit it out and put it in a paper cup. I turn back, and Amanda McKinney throws up all over herself. I knew the moment it happened, it was a miracle. I could have been kissing her when she threw up. It would have scarred me for life. I may never have recovered. --Merrill Hess

What's that you say? More lyrics!

2006-07-05T23:46:00.000-07:00

If anyone was to ever say that I "had let myself go", it would need to be in this context.

"I took this girl out last night and we left around 12,
We walked along lonely streets and got to know ourselves,
I like to read - she likes to write, she likes to sleep -
And I like to stay up all night,
My friends say I'm crazy and I agree,
But thats okay cause that the way she likes to be

Well we went out late that night and we danced through thenight
I was holding on to her and she was gripping me tight,
But, I didn't care, and she didnt mind
I was unaware that she liked to act so kind,
My friends say shes crazy and I agree,
But thats okay cause thats the way I like to be

Say Hey Girl, come with me and let yourself go,
Say Hey Girl come with me
And let yourself go, go, go, say now let yourself go"

Change all the she's to he's...

2006-07-03T19:18:00.000-07:00

... and this song summerizes what it is to be a woman.

There are certain people you just keep coming back to
She is right in front of you
You begin to wonder could you find a better one
Compared to her now she's in question

And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same

Maybe you want her maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare to someone not there

Looking for the right one you line up the world to find
Where no questions cross your mind
But she won't keep on waiting for you without a doubt
Much longer for you to sort it out

And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same

Maybe you want her maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare to someone not there
Maybe you want it maybe you need it,
Maybe it's all you're running from,
Perfection will not come

And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes
We'd never know what's wrong without the pain
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same

Way better than the South Pacific Song

2006-07-02T19:28:00.000-07:00

She'd do anything to sparkle in his eye
She would suffer, she would fight, and compromise
She's been wishin' on the stars that shine so bright
For answers to the questions that will haunt her tonight

How she'd be soothed, how she'd be saved if he could see
She needs to be held in his arms to be free
But everything happens for reasons that she will never understand
'til she knows the heart of a woman will never be found in the arms of a man

And if she runs away she fears she won't be followed
What could be the worse than leaving something behind
And as the depth of oceans slowly become shallow
It's loneliness she finds...
If only he was mine

She'd do anything to sparkle in his eye
She would suffer, she would fight, and compromise
She's been wishin' on the stars that shine so bright
For answers to the questions that will haunt her tonight

She must rinse him
She must rinse him
She can't rinse him
She can't rinse him
She can't, she won't, she must rinse him
She can't, she won't, she must rinse him
She must rinse this all away
She can't hold him this way
She must rinse this all away
She can't love him this way
--Rinse, Vanessa Carlton

Take these shoes
Click clacking down some dead end street
Take these shoes
And make them fit
Take this shirt
Polyester white trash made in nowhere
Take this shirt
And make it clean, clean
Take this soul
Stranded in some skin and bones
Take this soul
And make it sing

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn

Take these hands
Teach them what to carry
Take these hands
Don't make a fist
Take this mouth
So quick to criticise
Take this mouth
Give it a kiss

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn

Still waiting for the dawn, the sun is coming up
The sun is coming up on the ocean
This love is like a drop in the ocean
This love is like a drop in the ocean

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, tell me now
Why the dark before the dawn?

Take this city
A city should be shining on a hill
Take this city
If it be your will
What no man can own, no man can take
Take this heart
Take this heart
Take this heart
And make it break

Grey Street

2006-05-30T22:32:00.000-07:00

Oh, just sitting while she listens
She says I dont need this place
It seems a million years shes stuck here
But says nothing of what she thinks

She thinks, hey,
How did I come to this?
I dreamt like anybody else one night
I would be a beautiful princess.

But then the roads in the park fall
And then she rode the line in
And the colors mix together to grey
And break me out

Oh, when Im indifferent
She prays to God most every night
Although she swears he doesnt listen
Theres hope in her that he just might

She says, I pray
But then my prayer fall on deaf ears
Im supposed to take it all myself
To get out of this place.

She feels the lumps in the heart fall
And she rose up in the back
She hears the cars scream out from outside
And she whispers sometimes about this
But the colors mix together to grey
And wake me up

Oh, he grows up living
He says take what you can from your dreams
Make them real as anything
It takes the work out of the courage

She said, please,
Theres a crazy man standing outside my door
I live on the corner of a dead end street
At the end of the world.

Oh, and the rocks out in the heart fall
And she dreams her way to life
And she knows no one will lift her
So she might as well do it herself

And then bummed out and worried
Of leaving city life
But all the colors mix together to grey
On grey street
On grey street
To grey street

Oh, when it comes down in your loving
Oh, well then baby its right
You say you think you are nothing
No one else will do it for you
Reach up and grab hold of the sunlight
When you are waiting for whats right
Youre holding on your heaven
Wont leave you, yeah, yeah...

And the colors mix together to grey
Wake me up, wake me up, wake me up
To grey.

The other night I had a dating nightmare. An actual bad dream about dating. It was one of those dreams where you wake up and have to look around to make sure that it isn't real and only then can you relax. Now, frequently I have had some bizarre dreams ( Shopping for Katie's wedding at the 99 cent store, only to have it transform to my health club and then have Dan Bahntge hit on me), but was far more real and far more scary. Waking up with a start I had to ask myself, when did the men of my dreams make their way into my nightmares?

Sometimes you are embarrassed about something you do. Like having your skirt tucked into your panties. Sometimes you are embarrassed by something that happens to you. Like when you are 18 and have 15 40-year-old-men looking down your shirt after you get a bad case of poison ivy. Sometimes you get embarrassed for someone, like when my dad burped in church at an inopportune time. Today I was incredibly embarrassed for your neighbors, and their pets.

I drove by and, in the front yard and for all God's creation to witness, the Chihuahua and the daschund were copulating. As soon as I saw it I shrieked and turned my head (and told all the kids in the car not to look), but it was like a breakup at the restaurant where you are eating: I had to look. Not pretty. Their litter will be actual litter.

From a dog wearing a sweater to actual doggy style, my life has taken a caninely bizarre turn. And I don't want to look.

My life is so wired

I just saw a dog wearing a sweater.

Go lightly from the ledge, babe,
Go lightly on the ground.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I will only let you down.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part,
Someone to close his eyes for you,
Someone to close his heart,
Someone who will die for you an' more,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

Sweet!

First time I took it I got LA, so I had to try again.

You Are Boston

Both modern and old school, you never forget your roots.
Well educated and a little snobby, you demand the best.
And quite frankly, you think you are the best.

How can such a smart school have such a dumb mascot?

Tommy Leep, the student who serves as the Stanford tree mascot during basketball games, told ESPN Radio's Doug Gottlieb and Jeff Rickard that he has been suspended for the remainder of postseason play and will not travel with the team.

On Monday night, Leep was ejected by game officials in Denver for dancing in an un-designated area during the Stanford women's NCAA Tournament game against Florida State. Initially it was thought that Leep had been ejected for not leaving the court at halftime in a timely manner.

Back in February, fifth-year senior Erin Lashnits, who dressed as the Stanford tree prior to Leep, was stripped of her duties after her blood-alcohol level was measured at 0.157 during a men's basketball game at the University of California, Berkeley. For the purposes of driving a vehicle in California, legally drunk is .08.

The Stanford women play Oklahoma on Saturday in the Sweet 16 in the San Antonio regional. The men's season is over. --ESPN.com

I think this might send the wrong message

Today I walked by a parked car with a "THESE COLORS DON'T RUN" bumper sticker. Interestingly enough, not only had the colors run, they had also faded.

I love the madness
