L Word

It's the final season. The end of a story that has given so much to women from all walks of life across the world. If you ever thought you were gay, had a gay best friend or were just curious about women who were gay this show had all the answers and told a heartfelt story. The final season starts off with one of the main characters being killed in the first five minutes. It's like reading the last chapter in a book you loved... you want to know what happens but are so sad to see it go.

Walk Home

The snow

falls swiftly

in her face

The sound of

her boots

echo down

the block

Cold wind

pushes her back

strong will

carries her forward

Darkness

covers the night

Danger

whispers in

her ear

She fingers

her keys

lights up

a smoke

Fire feels safe

Hope

MILK

The story of Harvey Milk is amazing and it filled me with pride and hope but also fear. I felt proud about so many people accepting and understanding that he and his partner deserve rights as much as the next people in love. It gave me hope that the battles we face today will also be overcome. But I also felt fear about how many people out there did not and still don't understand.

Without hope, life's not worth living ~ Harvey Milk

Out Loud

Find yourself

being happy

Find a friend

on a random day

Find your voice

and sing out loud

Find a quarter

and give it away

Find a reason

to smile in the morning

Find a new road

to walk each day

Find a place

to sit and rest

Find a hill

and climb to the top

Find a book

that takes you places

Find a pen

that helps you write

Find an instrument

and learn to play

Find time to say

what's on your mind

Find what's wrong

And try to fix it

Find your last smoke

and throw it away

Find a memory

that keeps you young

Find a picture

and make it come true

Find your way

by lighting the dark

Where it all starts for 2009

YEP WE WILL BE THERE GETTING READY FOR ALL THAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE UPCOMING YEAR AND SAYING GOODBYE TO ALL THE DRAMA OF 2008!

And the snow came down

Last minute shopping is rough to do in a snow storm... but New Yorkers are tough and there are still people everywhere... be careful out there!

Rocking out in NYC

My favorite part of living in NYC is the last minute "What are you doing tonight?" call. It happened last night.. I caught the begining of Mike Krum, who sounded great and played a killer new song to start things off... then headed over to meet Emi at the Garden where we had great seats and rocked out to OASIS. Show was a little short and not as loud as we like it but they sang all the favorites and we had a blast! Back beat the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out

MIKE KRUM - MERCURY LOUNGE

Me and some of the girls are headed out to enjoy some live music and support our boy Mike Krum tonight. He is a very talented guy.... join us early show $10.

My way

Where do I start

Or maybe how

Was never scared to live

Like it was the end

the only day

we could ever be

Give it all

Smiling

Stumbling over

Unknown paths

learning to do it

better with less

Craziness

Don't think

I don't care

It's just my style

My choices are not always

what you define

as good

your wrong

is often my right

Gotta make these moves

Until I find my way

Hold your judgement

For I will let you be

Just as you were meant

Now how do I begin

this story to be told

all or part or maybe

just a poem

Party Girl

I've been standing in the fire

Spinning round in cirlces

howling at the moon

I've been chasing dragon's

Searching for the darkness

all over the world

Knocking over bottles

Cashing in checks

yelling in the streets

Trying to calm the rage

Trying to numb the pain

Woke up in an ambulance

A dark hotel room

abandon car in the woods

On the floor of a bathroom

In another city

not sure where to exist

How we are even still here

My party girl will not leave

Stays till the last drink

She's crying on the bar

And I can't remember

Which way to send her home

Color Globe

Go with me

Beyond the matter here

A grey sky

that pushes down

Find your light

add it to mine

Shoulder to shoulder

the world will

look brighter

We all need

Somebody

To be there

To understand

who we are

in our hearts

where we are

in our minds

How to pick us up

Wake us up

Shake up the colors

Show us the true world

YES WE CAN

Out of many
We are One
That while we breathe
We Hope

And where we are met with cynicism and doubts
And those who tell us that we can't
We will respond with that timeless creed
That sums up the spirit of a people:

YES WE CAN

Thank you
God bless you
And may God bless the United States of America.

BARACK OBAMA
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Think Light

It's up to you

To overcome

the darkness

that threatens

all you've worked for

this life

you've built

Don't be surprised

It will come quickly

to sink your smiles

Slouch your shoulders

take your light

Resist giving in

giving up

Know what helps you

keep the darkness

at bay

Infinite sadness

or happiness within

these are the choices

so wake up each day

and light up your soul
