Now, one of Clinton's laws of politics is this: If one candidate's trying to scare you, and the other one is trying to get you to think, if one candidate is appealing to your fears and the other one is appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope. --Bill Clinton--

one thing i have come to realize about nyc is that it is a city of doing. people are so incredibly active here - the pace of life doesn't let you stop and reflect or process. and sometimes you just really need a break. a pause. an escape. a scratch. a freeze. ...but then when you do come out of your "hibernation," it feels as if you have missed the train. it is a real challenge to be comfortable

bitterness is so lethal. its pervasive, and resistant and damaging. i don't think anyone would say they want to be bitter, would they? and yet that is what keeps capitalism going. or at least one of the big forces of it. our whole culture is dependent on consumerism...consuming and buying and having materials. but are these materials really what we realllly want? or is it other people having

hmm....not sure what happened...anyone know why my blogger is all big and expanded now?? i didn't touch the template...i dont' think... me and my co-workers were talking about ignorance, in nyc. you would think that in such a diverse city as new york, you wouldn't find as much ignorance. but sadly, i haven't been able to confirm that with experience... I had an interview for an assistant to

i like bulldogs. yes yes i do. thank goodness its friday. just like our lil bulldog friend, i'm feeling quite relieved its the end of the week. i'm still getting used to the detail-intensiveness of work and continue to make mistakes... but tonite we're celebrating Je-Yi's birthday...we're all gonna get silly and have a heluva good time.

hmm...good question. what does the song mean to me? (...keep the comments coming...i love em...) its weird how some songs can evoke so much emotion when they really don't even make that much sense. that's tori amos in a nutshell. she captures so much rawness in every song...with the craziest lyrics sometimes. i read somewhere that sometimes she creates her lyrics just by stringing all her

And I feel that time's a wasted go So where ya going ´til tomorrow? And I see that these are lies to come Would you even care? And I feel it And I feel it Where ya going for tommorrow? Where ya going with that mask I found? And I feel, and I feel When the dogs begin to smell her Will she smell alone? And I feel, so much depends on the weather So is it raining in your bedroom? And I see, that

i'm definitely feeling it again....that ache to dance again. all the signs are pointing to it...all of us have been looking for a group this past year, and then a couple more friends have moved into the city that dance also. its the beginning of the school year where all the 2xs emails are enthusiastic.... but still, we have no opportunity. well, i guess we have to create the opportunity.

i have to say...Everybody Loves Raymond is one of the worst sitcoms I've ever seen. The characters are boring, the dialogue is boring, and really...nobody loves raymond. so why are there so many reruns aired?? i don't get it!! someone explain this to me...

2002-08-24T14:32:00.000-04:00

why do i have such an infatuation with breakers? this can definitely explain it a lil... B-Boys Break Words the music is feline crouching in the thick cover of juking legs we ring the dance floor like vengeful hands around faithless necks to see b-boys spar in 4/4 time the city painted pitch around us. the b-boys are the only lights moving tonight firefly alphabets liquid glyphs carved

www.aonline.com SHADY. shady i tell you. i guess that's how companies work tho... yes, i used to work for aMagazine....the poor thing. it had so much potential. well maybe it'll get better in the future. i wonder if any of the previous employees knew that it wasn't really going under, and are still working for it. so shady. they could at least tell me about it. but no...i gotta find out

is it me or do you feel dumber after work? i definitely don't feel as intellectual or passionate as compared to when i was unemployed. well, i guess i'm just kind of mentally drained after work. that makes sense. i do want to be physically active...but i don't want to think. hmm...that's really starting to bother me. i reach for a book...and just think...i don't want to read. i don't

work is kind of intense already. but maybe that's cuz i'm learning still, and trying to play catch up all the time. i'm nervous too. very. my manager was telling me how one of our sales reps out in Cali doesn't "have anything upstairs." he's a complete knowledge junkie. has a million useless facts and tidbits of info. i guess i'm afraid that in a matter of days he's gonna realize his new

first day of work. again. its weird...last year I was faced with the same predicament. i moved up here to ny in mid july, and my parents gave me 2 months to find a job. i was so lucky...finding one in a month and a half. this year, aMag went under at the end of february, and I was unemployed...til today. but my parents called me last week, and we decided that if i didn't find a job by the

I admit I knew all eyes were on me as I wandered into virgin megastore at times square. And there at the display were about 8 trlites hogging the janet display. how did purchasing this record equate buying a black tail in front of ma dukes or condoms from a drug store you used to frequent as a kid? because of my nervousness of losing what credibility I have with music lovers I actually upped

How I long to fall just a little bit, to dance out of the lines and stray from the light. But I fear that to fall in love with you is to fall from a great and gruesome height... And so for you I came this far, across the tracks, ten miles above the limit, and with no seatbelt--and I'd do it all again. -dar williams-

today i want to be paul van dyk. yesterday i wanted to be oprah. i always want to be lauryn hill. or even j.lo. and i think i want to be mother teresa too. or better yet...gandhi. yea. gandhi... i really hate my indecisiveness. i think it hinders me on so many levels. i think a huge part is that i just have too many interests, i want too many things, i find so many things attractive.

road trips never let me down. no matter who i'm riding with, or for how long, its always an experience. sound familiar? yea i thought so. hehe. anyways, tis true...road trips are always fun. did a short weekend trip to toronto with B and his crew. i like them. i really do. so fun and so chill. just cool with whatever. i like that. i mean i had met them before...but always in some
