This blog gives a look into the eternal sunshine of my ever roving mind. I consider myself a social critic. I believe in Film, Music, Theatre, Musical Theatre, Gay Rights, the Right to Choose, Human Rights and YES I still believe in Barack Obama. I believe in most things left of center. I don't get any organized religion.They are all a sham. This is the gay pride flag. I am proudly gay. These are the things this blog is about. Love it, like it or leave it. We all have choices.

My Emmy Score Card
i got aaron paul, byran cranston, edie falco, archie panjabi and jane lynch.
after 5 noms kyra sedgwick finally won for her brilliant brenda lee johnson on 'the closer' so i had no problems losing that one. julianna will be up there soon enough.
hate that 'glee' didn't win but another show with good gay characters, modern family' winning is a plus.
but why doesn't the academy see that matthew morrison can do EVERYTHING!

Sandra Bullock Marks Fifth Anniversary of Katrina
NEW ORLEANS — Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock has returned to a New Orleans high school she adopted after Hurricane Katrina to help open a health clinic there.
Bullock's appearance Sunday coincided with the fifth anniversary of the storm that devastated coastal Louisiana and Mississippi. She joined a host of politicians, educators and school supporters for the clinic's ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The free, full-service medical and dental clinic is scheduled to open in the fall. It is yet another place Bullock has left her mark at Warren Easton Charter High School. She's previously donated money to help restore Easton, which is the city's oldest public high school.
The school was swamped when Katrina and the subsequent flooding swept up to nine feet of water into its buildings.

'Army Wives Season 4 Scorecard gets an A Because the Season Finale Gets A+
this show is about life. army life. life has it's ups and downs. no one's life is an A. army life probably even less so. the show itself almost got a B+ for this past season but the finale lifted it higher as they say.
the show always shares the time equally between the wives. and it did so in the finale.
yet the night belonged to kim delaney and katelyn pippy playing mother and daughter respectively. they went beyond the norm acting the hell out of the script with raw emotion. brava to the both of them!
they are the best actress and supporting actress of summer 2010

'Royal Pains': Second Season Score Card: A
'royal pains' rates an A with it's season finale. it lost it's A status awile back with the casting of anastasia griifith as emily peck who we were spared from in the seasonal finale but was talked about. so is she gone? we'll see.
but all of the following lead to it's regaining it's A status.
the missing ms. griffith.
the season finale brought christine ebersole back and that's worth a thousand points.
brooke d'orsay as evans gf seems to be becoming recurring. worth at least 750 points.
and then surprise surprise in walks the wonderful, talented and beautiful rena sofer. it looks like she could be recurring. worth 1500 points. she is always welcome into my living room. nonono i have not switched. i'm still happily and proudly gay.
the four series regulars mark feuerstein, paolo costanzo, jill flint and reshma shetty continue to brighten a summer night.

But Chris on 'Hardball' Had It Wrong
these log cabin republicans are so full of crap.
and chris i can't believe you are falling for their crap!
i said it before and i'll say it again a gay republican is akin to a jew voting for hitler in 1939.
'The Day After That' from 'Kiss of the Spider Woman'
'kiss of the spider woman' opened in 1993 on broadway. the cast starred brent carver as molina, anthony crivello as valentin and chita rivera as spider woman/aurora (see sidebar) all of whom won tony awards.
the show itself won best musical, book and music and lyrics.
not long after liza minnelli recorded the 'day after that' which she premiered live at the un on world's aids day. it became an anthem in the fight against aids.
i've chosen to post two of liza's versions here.
however the best version of all was the original by anthony crivello who won a most deserved tony award for his role as molina. this is the best i could do. it's not about the pictures or the video. it's all about the music, the lyrics and anthony's amazing voice.

Listen to This A-HOLE on the '9/11 Burning the Koran' Day
this moron appeared on 'hardball' tonight. chris why the hell are you giving these idiots a forum? need to tell you chris...you are NOT going to change these fanatics!
i'm telling you...the idiots are taking over the asylum.
i'm telling you...the idiots are taking over the asylum.
What a Disgrace: What a Frackin' Hypocrite*
ken mehlman the former republican national committee chairman during gw's administration and was the architect of much of the anti-gay rhetoric and policies during that time has come out of the closet.
well congratulations you moron. you think this is too little too late? well damn it i do! go back to your bush cronies. we have no use for you now. when you could have done something you chose to do nothing. you should have stayed in your closet. i have no pity for your 'journey'. typical republican closet case who's motto seems to be 'first do harm'.
*for one of the few times i can remember i totaly disagree with chris mathews on this subject.
