Hello Boys and Ghouls (did I miss halloween?)

It has been a while. So, I won my election 2:1! Mwa ha. That is right. I saw your dinky pieces of lit. I heard your phonebank. But I am a politico from New York and you brought a swifter to a bazooka fight.

Seriously, politics is bizarre out here. Antoine Thompson attacked Mark Grissanti as a lawyer who wants to unleash murderers and pedophiles into your neighborhood. Here, the closest thing to an attack add was so subtly written you would think candidates were sharing s'mores every evening before a pajama party. A part of me misses the bare-toothed approach to politics, but I also find it nice that one is not required to be a dick.

So, I am not unemployed and am considering shakin' my wares on the street corner. Should I make so bold a career move I will send you all a link to my profile on RentBoys.com

Matthew,

Is the trailer to The Shining an entire film onto itself?

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the radio silence. Life has been crazy. I lived on a couch for a few weeks and just moved into an apartment a few weeks ago. I am subletting from some dude and live in a room filled with his furniture. Which makes me feel guilty everytime I get jiggy on the bed.
Work is the crazy bit. It is 24/7 until Nov.2nd and then I will have some time to sleep, go out, and get jiggy with someone other than me.
Portland has a reputation for being filled with hipsters. They mostly keep to their side of town, which is great. And I promise, no hipster sensibilities are growing in me. Promise.

This is a sample piece from a mail design firm we are considering
hiring.

Fucking awesome!

Doris Eaton Travis, the last living Ziegred Follies girl has died at the age of 106.

She first started dancing for the follies at the age of 14. During the height of the Great Depression she began teaching tap at the Arthur Murray school, eventually opening her own schools in Michigan.

In her 70s she earned a long-delayed high school diploma. She then devoted 11 years to acquiring a college degree, taking a course or two a semester at the University of Oklahoma. She graduated in 1992 at the age of 88 with a history major and a Phi Beta Kappa key. She was halfway to a master's degree when she decided to focus on her memoirs instead.

In 2007, Oakland University in Michigan gave Mrs. Travis an honorary doctorate. She responded by singing and dancing "Ballin' the Jack," a song popularized by Lillian Lorraine, a renowned Ziegfeld Follies' star.

A little more than two weeks ago Mrs. Travis returned to Broadway to appear again at the annual Easter Bonnet Competition held by Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, this time at the Minskoff Theater. She did a few kicks, apologizing that she no longer performed cartwheels.

Here is a video of her dancing at the age of 101



I feel like she has been more active in her last half century than I will have been in my first.

Hats off to you, Ms. Eaton Travis.
