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.

Sandra in Santa Barbara
This year's "It” girl , Sandra Bullock, was feted in Santa Barbara this past weekend. The two-hour celebration of her career included a Q&A moderated by Pete Hammond with clips of her work thrown in here and there was, to be perfectly honest, a grand tribute. And then at last Forest Whitaker’s presentation of the American Riviera Award to the actress.
The Riviera Award is given to an actor or actress who has made an indelible mark on American cinema. Sandra was invited back in September prior to her Oscar nom and current front-runner status. That said: it’s an undeniable pick given Bullock’s status in the film industry.
