As soon as I write this I am guaranteeing that i will get one, but I am glad that I do not have an iPod. Saw so many people on the subway today. only one guy was moving to the music. Could hear the music of several people, made me wonder about their hearing. But hearing loss aside, receiving so much stimulation without a response seems like a bad thing. As with negative emotions, it is bad to hold them in, no? Leads to cancer and all kinds of tumors. So then does that mean it is bad to hold in good emotions, or that it is good to hold in good emotions. But my point about not having an iPod is that, and this is a guess here, music eventually becomes just more noise to people. I know that NPR is kinda like that for me. I have it on all the time even if I am not actively listening to it, but if it not on I miss that stimulation. Does the radio/iPod just become extra stimulation so that my mind can’t wander. I know for many people it is a scary situation if their mind wanders…

And then once people are inured to the music they have, they gotta buy more. iPods are like cigarettes- the ultimate delivery system

Flew to NYC today for a show at Dixon Place. http://www.dixonplace.org/ Was waiting to meet my friend with whom I am performing (her piece) at Park and 92nd. Sitting on the planter cement thing between the directions of traffic ( there must be a word for that thing ) watching the people walk by. Being the Upper East Side, there was a demographic, and funny to see that. Business men who looked like brooks brothers ads. people actually wear those light brown shoes with the silly tassles. navy jacket and khaki pants. Jogging moms with the newest baby carriage. The mixed race arty couple with the black clothes and thick framed glasses looked severe and sensitive at the same time. Urban hip kids with the thin soled shoes and tight pants, urban hiphop kids with the big shoes and baggy pants. Do they/we not see how they/we are fitting in our roles? Is it conscious? …..I must dress this way….do contact must wear baggy pants and wear a northface vest….must buy organic food…

So…Bush’s rating keep going lower and lower. Great, fine, wonderful…but what I want to know who the morons are who liked him 2 years ago. Has he really done anything differently than he did when he first snuck into office? He is still the same inept bumbling fool now as he was then

But for some reason the public is finally waking up. Duh, people, did you finally pull your heads out of your asses cuz the air was getting kinda stale? Lemmings, all of them…

Mmmmm, nachos!

So…the other day I did a performance and some people told me that it would be great on Conan O’Brien. I’m always ready to “sell out” and perform on TV. But getting the show producers is pretty much impossible. They can’t accept any unsolicited materials idea etc cuz then they might get sued if they do something like it. But then how to get on the show? I think writing on a ‘blog that no one reads is the perfect way.

ohh and if you listen to NPR, please donate, I am tired of listening to the pledge drive.

Tax Cuts…further in the hole America goes…when will the Chinese come to collect? Would you let Prez Bush get a hold of your family’s finances?

So in this tax cut, if I heard correctly, middle income (45-75,000) will get $200 tax cut, and people over 1,000,000 get $80,000 tax cut. Now, the rich people are going to squirrel their money away in the bank or Stock market and the poor people are going to spend their $200, cuz we gotta. What would make more sense is to give poorer people more of a tax cut, cuz it’ll get spent. That is money directly into the economy, no trickle down there. And usually things that trickle down end up getting dirty.

aaahhhh…we have the government we deserve…no?

Templates for everything at least for stuff I have seen are #$%# ugly. people designing this stuff are trying way toooo hard. Can’t they have a template that is just black and white? Is Simple so hard?

I mean, these stupid Zen rocks. Why the bleep would I want to have Zen rocks on my site? Have you seen this ad that is in the NY times Magazine in the back? It’s for some swanky apt building and the shower has Zen Garden pebbles? Why do people with the most money have the worst taste? Sometimes I think that if i purposely had bad tast I would get rich.

Well, maybe this template is not so bad. but then the real question is do I even want to have a blog on my site? (do I odd want to have a blog on my site?) Can or when is the word odd used to be the opposite of even? is it only in Mathematics? In terms of personalities the opposite of an odd personality is not an even personality. at least I have never used even in that sense. Well, even-keeled in terms of stable and sane, but that is not necessarily the opposite of odd. “he was really odd-keeled that man.” Hmm…
