Thakns to (e:paul)'s generous christmas gift we went to see Cirque De Soleil at HSBC last night. I thought it was reallly good but different than I expected. It had lots of tehcnology like three huge screens across the aud and like there were images constanly on them, sometimes just bigger sizzes of the live people , sometimes othere things completely and like at some parts the real people interacted with the screen. It was relaly cool I thought. I also can't belive the stuff the acrobats did. Like insane, I don't' know how thye do it why didn't they die kinda things. I only wish I had gotten glasses already so i oculd have seen it a little better as everyone seems to say seeing the definition of each muscle on the performers is one of the best parts. I relaly liked this one part where like water rushed across the screen and the man hanging from the balloon tossed in the waves. It was crazy cool. THanks Again (e:Paul)!!

Saturday Night FeverFirst off, sorry that I missed what looks like a great time had by all the estrippers last night. So last night me, (e:jill) and our friend jen met (e:beast) and her sister at an art show on Franklin and Allen. Our friend laura had a music installation there. It was 37 song clips that she wrote all of them and sang them. It was really cool but we are always so awkward at art shows. We then headed over to Nietsche's for a reggae night but soon left there and basically went to every bar on Allen St and Jim's Steakout. Lets just say Jen going to the Pink for the first time was enjoyable, if any of you know Jen you know how much the Pink is not her style. At the reggae show it was weird because it was Bob Marely's birthday and the tribute band was all old white men. Odd..
At the Pink I talked with Laura (music artist) for the longest I have in a long time. We could commiserate in our similar circumstances. So by the by me, (e:jill) and (e:jen) run into a certain someone I always like running into. But it went terrible. They are definetely not interested, I probably have not been so upset about a person in my life. Like maybe their is still a slim chance bu tI doubt it and really should just write it off and move on, but you know I won't do that. I am relaly hit rock bottom soon in this situation i think. Sorry (e:maureen) for I'm sure the wake up call at like 3am but sometimes I just feel the need to talk to you, or even just your voice mail when I am relaly upset.
Superbowl tonight...should i watch? ... i like to know what people are tlaking about tomorrow bu ti oculd really care less...we'll see..

You were missed!! We were going to go to Nietsche's then never ended up leaving the bar. So many people came out.. It was fun.
PS.. I was going through my camera and found a really silly-cute-funny-semi scandalous picture of you. Your brother insists I post it..
I wouldn't dare, without your permission :)

I slept with a cover modelSo today I decided I am going to make another slideshow for my friends. This one will encompass the last five years since highschool graduation. As some of you know, when I graduated highschool I made like a 2 hours mammoth slideshow/video montage presentation for my friends that each person got a copyu of and a soundtrack and i had a party with food from all the restaurants we hang out at. Like it was hardcore. Well I decided I want to do a new one but it is a lot tougher because obviously even though we stayed as prolly as close as a group of highschool friends can 5 years later we all went to different schools and so have different things from the last four years. I don't know what to include/what not to include. Maybe little parts for each persons's separate college experience and then the gropu partrs. Even the group parts are like less all together becuase it depended who was where when. I don't' know I hope it ends up good. Scanning all the pictures in is my least favorite part. It takes so long becuase you have to scan them, crop them, edit them, save them, burn them, transfer them to my labtop. IT TAKES FOREVA!!! Wish me luck...maybe i will make an estrip memories slideshow someday...we al lknow there are plenty of pictures....pletny of embarassing ones for sure....

New Life Slogan/ offensive?So me and (e:paul) were discussing yesterday how I often refuse to do "bad" things whatever I consider those to be: drugs, etc.. but if someone "forces" me to do it then I will. I'm really easily convinced into many things. Not all the time but for some things. Even just stupid things like I won't wanna go somewhere but we'll be in the car and just go there and i'll be like fine, I guess I'll go there. And up into more "bad" behaviors. Not that I do much bad (remember I was the DARE poster child)
Anywho I was rambling there but so anyway we were discussing what my life slogan really should be. We got part of it from my favorite made for tv movie ever, She Cried No starting Mark Paul Gosseler and Candace Cameron.
drum roll please...my new slogan is
[size=l]"I MAY NOT SAY YES, BUT I WON'T CRY NO!"[/size]
-if I wore a tshirt that said that do you think it would offend rape victims? Honestly, do you think it is a bad idea to wear a tshirt that says that becuase it would be offensive to rape victims. I mean I can think of many other reasons not to wear a tshirt that says that but that reason bothers me in praticular. What do y'all tink? Your input is greatly appreciated.

Never heard of life Slogans before I'll have to look into those. I have never been raped so I wouldn't know. I'm guessing that people who where raped forcfully might not be offendend. Since they where forced there was no question of if it was a yes or no. But rape victims who where date raped or who stoped in the middle might be verry offendend. The thing that I would worrry about the most is that most people would think that the shirt is about Rape victims who have sex then regret it the next day and then cry rape (yes there is a small percentage of women and men who do that). People (victims and nonvictims of rape) would think it was a mockery of them when it had nothing to do with them. But that is just my view.

Yah, I'm jealous, I reaaaaaaaally wanted to see this show. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Oh - and I left a treat for you at PMT's.
I am so envious!! I wanted to go.. but I think crappy seats were asking $70-80. I'll see Cirque du Soleil sometime when I am not living off of school loans :) hmm, I see a trip to Vegas in my future..
