helium balloons

Sometimes I lay in my bed at night and imagine what would happen if the world stopped spinning. Would we all float up to the sky like helium balloons? Would we grab on to anything rooted in the ground or would the sensations excite us and send us curiously upwards? Would we unite and hold on to one another out of fear... even our greatest enemies? It seems when something happens to all of us at once a sense of unity surfaces.... we forget who we are against. A good example of this happened during the devastating attack in 2001. On the afternoon of  September 11th there was this common gloom over everyone in new york city and beyond... nobody fought because fighting felt trivial... no one shopped because 'owning things' felt irrelevant and few felt entitled to push or shove because everyone understood the inner pain that undulated across every heart in Manhattan and that created a bond. Most bonds are created out of fear and pain...but something special has happened to this country to revive the sullen hearts of those who once suffered a loss or is suffering now... for the first time in history a son of an African American obtained the highest rank in America. Barack Obama became the first African American president in the U.S.A. Very momentous day for everyone and I hope he succeeds in accomplishing the change he believes in. What frustrates me is that the son of an African American immigrant can become the countries president yet I can't get a friggin temporary work visa. Am I missing something?

aside from my boring banter about change and floating balloons I fortunately got to see Shrek on Broadway today and it was incredible. I can't believe how talented the performers are. They actually get PAID to do that... it looks like so much FUN! It really started to light a fire in me... I can't wait to be on MY OWN stage performing MY OWN songs. What a rush!

I also got a job working at that restaurant I mentioned downtown so hopefully I can make some friends and make some money to get this album show on the road. I gotta get shit in high gear because time is money and I'm excited to see what the future has waiting for me. sleep maybe?

I realize my blogs are lacking in the entertainment department but if just been babysitting and missing out on sleep over the last few days so that does not make for good blogging!

I will go out and cause trouble soon so I have some good material...I will literally go out looking for hilarious stuff to post... maybe I'll even video tape something. For now, laugh at this... it's all I got!
