I'm sure I'll hear about this

Andy Rooney said on "60 Minutes" a few weeks back: I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the UnitedCaucasianCollege Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens...Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door. Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game. I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, which is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE? I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion. I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off. When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling; it is the Law of Probability. I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English! My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours. I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word "freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines. I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business. We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations. I don't hate the rich I don't pity the poor. I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn't stop you from watching them. I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and put your name on the building. It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say "NO!" I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries! I am sick of "Political Correctness." I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be "African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else And if you don't like my point of view, tough... I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!I was asked to send this on if I agree or delete if I don't. It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having "In God We Trust" on our money and having "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the 14% to Shut Up and BE QUIET!!! If you agree, pass this on, if not delete. .

rumor = fact

I was hoping that it was rumor - but I guess Broadway is deperate for shows :(

Mugger - 0 Maggie - 1

One of my worst fears became a reality. Maggie was mugged in D.C. Well, kinda mugged. A young kid came up to her and wrapped is arm around her, telling her he had a gun and to give him her money. Maggie's quick wit replied that she had no money (all of this is taking place while they are still walking Pennsyvania Ave). He then asked for the MP3 player she had in her hand. She quickly replied, "no". And continued on her way. He gave up and moved on.
Now, Maggie knows better, but in the heat of the moment, this is what took place. She pretty much told the mugger no and proceeded on with her day. She and I both realize how very lucky she is. If this were to happen again, she would hand over everything and take care of her safety. But of all the women in the D.C. area, this young kid picked Maggie - and she was the wrong woman to fuck with :)

Vote, vote, VOTE - Cleveland Free Times Music Awards

My very good friend, Kris Morron, and his band, MiFune, have been nominated in the Cleveland Free Times 2007 Music Awards.
A few of you have checked out a few shows with me. They are AWESOME! I am asking that when you submit your votes (cuz I know you all will), please vote for MiFune under the World Music category.
Also, Kris has been nominated for best horn in a band - the only problem is, on this weeks ballot, they screwed up his name and Kris Morron came out as Chris Morrow. The votes are still good! PLEASE vote for Kris - his passion and dedication are both inspiring and applauded.
Thanks so much! I put the link to the music awards ballot below - also his bands links.

Dear Michael Buble,

Dump Emily Blunt and date me!!!

I am ecstatic about this!!!!!

(BANG) - REM are to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The US rockers are to be honoured along with Van Halen Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, The Ronettes and Patti Smith at the annual ceremony.
REM frontman Michael Stipe admits he is thrilled the band's work has been recognised.
He said: "It's really an honour that someone took the time to look backward and recognise what we've done in our past."
REM's original drummer Bill Berry is expected to attend the event, to be held on March 12 in New York, and speculation is rife he may even join his former bandmates on stage on the night.
Berry quit the band in October 1997, two years after collapsed on stage after suffering a brain aneurysm, citing personal reasons.
To be eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame, which is housed in a museum in Cleveland, artists must have released a first single or album at least 25 years before being nominated.

It still amazes me

Every first snow fall, people drive 10 mph and act like they've never driven in it before. Come on people, we live in Cleveland!

A Sliver Of Satisfaction

Even after the embarrassing game of OSU, I have a slight satisfaction knowing that a certain someone in Texas is VERY unhappy about it. That's right jackass, I'm talking about you. Hoo-Ha!

First days

It was a day of firsts this past week. Back at the studio. Felt good to be back and moving around. Had some awesome competition classes Saturday - really was working it.
Both the St. Richard's & Bay High School musicals started this week. Had about 70 kids come out at Bay for auditions. It was fabulous! 70 kids tap dancing - gave me goosebumps! St. Richard's is also mega fun - middle schoolers - they all want to be there and are eager to learn. So I'm tapping at Bay and swinging at St. Richard's. Good times!
Although I am totally overwhelmed and always trying to ring out choreography, so far so good.

Go Buckeyes!!!!!

I want a flamingo...

... and Donnie said he'd get me one.

People who take themselves WAY too seriously

People who take themselves WAY too seriously:

* Donald Trump - One word: HAIR! Come on guy, you're not that great.

* Rosie O'Donnell - Where do I begin? You are not the Queen of the world (no pun intended). The world does not need you to survive.

* Martha Stewart - You make life waaaayyyyy to difficult. Shut down your chicken coop and just buy your eggs form the grocery store.

* Barbara Streisand - Ugh. You are a has been. So you don't like Bush - was that really enough to make you come out of "retirement"? Soyou could make fun of him daily in your stage show? Go back under your rock.

* Tom Jones - Honey, you are older than my father. No one wants to throw their underwear at you anymore. If they do, I'd duck because they are probably Depends.

NYD

Happy 2007!
