Unprotected feet carry you through a dark room
Guess where the furniture is before you smash your toes
Like tripping and giggling through an exciting encounter
Flirting shamelessly
The goals are clear: get to the light switch, the door, or the bed
Just don’t let him scratch your unshielded heart in the process
Through I suppose being barefoot is half the thrill

The poem isnt the interesting part. In fact there isnt one. An interesting part I mean. Should the title be “Flirting with Disatster” or “Flirting With Your Eyes Closed in a Dark Room”?

So the other day, my friend was walking down the hall at good old Goshen High School and she overheard a conversation between a football player and his cute little girlfriend. It went like this…
Cute Little Girlfriend: EEW, was it gross?
Football Player: Yeah, my pad was all bloody.

And sadly, it was the most hysterical thing that had happened in a long time. Except for this joke.

What is the difference between a piano and a fish? You can’t tune a piano but you CAN tunafish!!

Blame this blog entry on Eric.

Eduardo Machado is a Cuban (/American) playwright with a lot to say. He gave a pretty gutsy talk a couple weeks ago that I find inspiring, challenging and moving. I am in the midst of finishing up plans for the next New World Arts season, and some of what he said hit me right in the gut.

He weaves together thoughts about immigration, the wall being built on the Mexico border, and his own experiences as a green card-carrying immigrant. His treatment as an “outsider” by a profession (theatre) that I believe should be on the cutting edge of acceptance is appalling. This flows into his thoughts about theatre, about not trying to make audiences happy, and about bravery. He rails against rampant entitlement issues, including the “entitlement” to be trained as a theatre artist - which really just plays into making theatre more corporate-minded.

how do people say these things?

“[God] is the chairman of this party.” (the story)
– Texas GOP leader Tina Benkiser, at state convention

Form that same article: “Lord, your words tell us there’s a sign that this nation is under a curse, when the alien who lives among us grows higher and higher and we grow lower and lower,”
– Rev. Dale Young, pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Laredo

Anyone know the exact reference? Can we get a hermeneutic ruling on this one?

And one from Fox News for good measure:

“There’s no scientific proof that global warming even exists. To be honest, it’s a bogus consensus dreamed up by Greens because they hate industry. They hate advancement. They hate technology…Greens will lead us back to the stone ages.” (more on this)
