Get PINKDOME Merchandise!

Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

Sep 27
Wednesday News Roundup

- You know we're all scared when an opera by Mozart gets cancelled for fear of terrorist acts. And it's not even The Abduction of the Seraglio!

- Dallas-based 7-Eleven (oh, thank heaven) is saying "Adios" to Venezuela's Citgo as their fuel supplier [Yahoo!]. They say politics has nothing to do with it, but HA!

- Kerry running for President again? Please no. I mean, he's a nice guy and all, but no.

The pulling of Mozart is just a statement of how too many are afraid to speak up. Fear: the by line of this age.

Could you image how many works of art would never have been created if the artists acted in fear?

The work is suppose to stir up passions and issues.

I think its time for us to be free.

Its not about truth or lies. This is about action and the ability to stand up and be ourselves.

And its simple, just act by being yourself.

Its not a question of telling others how to act
Its not about being afraid of the smack down when you do something labeled as wrong
Its not about government control or censorship.

Its about each of us, being ourselves. Not in fear but in our own motions of living.

Will it hurt: of course since life isn't about comfort, its a fire. Sadly we have remove the fire,
taken the matches away and have added a nice digital image of the flames for everyone to watch.
Modern media isn't about life, its about image...

Turn it off. Tune into yourself.

Live, smile, be, risk try and then fly (and fall to the ground to pick yourself up again to try again)

The answer is really that simple. Life isn't to fly, but its to try... and in the trying we are alive.
If you are only willing to do it.

At least Mozart is still flying , at least when we play his work that is.

I think that is like ad spam, with only the first and last lines added to make it somewhat pertinent. Biz-arre.

nah just tired of people living to fear

its stupid to pull plays and music away becuase we fear terror.

its silly not to live as yourself and this culture is becoming anything but that. so instead I am having fun speaking out, learning how to say things :)

I should add I am just playing with stream of concsiouness ranting :) After all if its good enough for the president it must be good enough for the rest of us to just say nonsense :)
