tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms further...

"I could eat the world. I could exhale clouds. I could edit the Iliad. I could reject the Constitution. I could ease the confusion. I could also do nothing out of the unusual at all and feel that everything that I want to happen can be made more likely to happen by even the slightest effort. I can rest like lichen on a rock and be hard, soft, alive and immobile forever. I can certify my own fresh ingredients. I can care less about anything and care a lot about everything. I can feel myself a foot in the well shaped well worn but still strong shoe of my body. I can think both quickly and slowly. I don't mind the other days so much."

Last night's Rufus Wainwright concert was one of the best nights of my life, hands down. That man is a genius. I will update this with a very intense post about every reason it was excellent sometime today, I'm sure (one word: lederhosen) & many comments on this latest album which is quickly becoming my favorite. But yes, look out for that.

In the meantime, I'm still in the incoherent happiness-coma that is a great concert by an amazingly talented performer.

So all 5000 or so songs I once had on my computer? All gone. I'm willing to bet only about... 1000 of those can actually be recovered from CDs, and maybe if I beg iTunes they'll replenish another 300 or so. So now I'm begging my friends list: SEND ME MUSIC. Anything you've got, really. You all have excellent taste, so I trust you'll send some quality music.

Please look into this cause as its something I think we can all agree is extremely important. Denying the AIDS epidemic in other countries (and here, really) will not make it go away. People are necessary for change. Spread awareness, raise money, whatever you are willing to do and can do will help. Just don't pretend that this isn't happening. Five people die of AIDS every minute. Nearly 3.1 million people will die of AIDS in 2005 alone. 4.9 million new people will be infected with HIV.

The theme this year is: Stop AIDS. Keep the Promise. Are you doing your part?

You know I'm hot, just tell me already!

Haha. No, but really if you haven't taken my blunttruth survey from way back when you should take it now because it's entertaining and fun for you and me. AND it's anonymous. How cool is that?
