Is awesomeness in your DNA?

I wonder... is awesomeness in your DNA?  It must be in some cases because Judy Garland passed it on to Liza Minnelli.  I didn't even know Judy Garland was Liza's mother, but apparently so.  For all of you who don't know who Judy Garland is, you might recognize her as Wizard of Oz's Dorothy; and for all of you that are wondering who Lize Minnelli is, you might of seen her in the film production of the Broadway Musical Cabaret which she played Sally Bowles, or for her musical talents, you might own her record The Singer.<Liza Minnelli<Judy Garland

Tuesday Poems... fit for any mood.

"My secrets cry aloud.  I have no need for tongue.  My heart keeps open house, My doors are widely flung."
-Theodore Roethke
"The Head is steady, calm, and wise
And bears a princely part;
And down bellow in secret lies
The warm impulsive heart."
-John Godfrey Saxe

Long after it was heard no more."

Okay...

So, maybe I am a little irrational.... but whatever:)  I am human, so my instincts are to get mad when someone offends me, and my instincts are also to rip their heads off, but hey, I can't help it (there was no ripping off of any heads).  We had homework today about John Steinbeck.  We had to make a diploma of his accomplishments, and here's the best part.... we had to write an essay comparing John Steinbeck's life and style of writing to Edgar Allen Poe (so I think... what's the point of this?)!  Personally I like Steinbeck better because Poe can be a little creepy, considering most of his stories are murder stories.... But anyhoo... I am finished with that, now all I need is a back brace, a mountain dew, and to veg out over blades of glory.  Fun!  So here is a random picture of Will Ferrell to wrap that up...(?)

Back From New York!!!

New York is an amazing city full of so many different types of people, and cultures, that you see people dancing in the street,
singing, shouting,
bargaining deals in Chinatown.....
...meeting in time square
walking through central park... 
 
the options are endless!  With so many kinds of people, you almost feel like you could be anyone, and do anything you want.  I got to practice the very little french that I know with some other tourists which was fun.  My favorite part of New York was Broadway, we saw West Side Story, and The Phantom of the Opera.  Both were fantastic!  Though, I really liked (LOVED!!!!!!) The Phantom of the opera.
My journey brought me two pairs of black pants, a shirt, and a Sharks t-shirt (West side story), and a scarf (from Chinatown) which were all great deals.  I have seriously considered living in this wonderful city, and now I'm quite sure that I want to, and hopefully will... eventually:)
If you are planning to visit New York I advise to go to Manhattan, walk through central park, go to time square (the forever21!), Chinatown,  a broadway show, Take a double-decker bus tour, and Visit the Empire State building, and the Statue of liberty!  All of these I enjoyed doing.  But it is also cool to walk around without a map or a destination, and just see where you end up!

Off to New York....

In just a few minutes I will be on my way to New York.  A journey of about 12 hours.  Thankfully I am not the one driving, so I will be able to read, and sleep and listen to my on the road CD mix.  I am excited to see NY for the first time, and I think it will be fun!

Don't eat three doughnuts in a row.

I have learned a very important lesson today, and that is that you shouldn't eat 2 jelly doughnuts, a glazed doughnut, and two mini muffins at the same time, because it makes you sick.  I shall no longer buy treats in big batches because I have no control.  What can I say, I'm addicted, but I think I actually went into a sugar coma.  Lesson is learned:)
