Who's That Calling Me????


When cellphones hit you found every reason to be on it talking to someone.  Just that mobile communicative freedom had you rambling all day. As time passed by it seems that textual communication has you hearing actual voices less and less. In turn actually calling a person and that call being accepted on a consistent basis is a strong sign to the relationship between two people.

With that said, Evita has always kept the technological vs actual communicative balance on point. With the current wave she is riding I know that every time that pic pops on my Blackberry the news will be positive and my day is gonna hit a high point. Today was no different. I received one call today and it was her updating me on business, networking and the powers that be continuing to shine on her. Only 1 call today but hey you know it quality over quantity.

Digitally Dead?.....Brain Dead Perhaps for this Ego Driven Stunt.

 Today begins the campaign I mentioned previously and the more I see of it the worst the concept seems to me. Raising me for AIDS awareness is great but some needed to sit and think harder about the execution of this endeavor. The rich and famous give us a mock death or a digital death complete with imagery and video to make the position that they will not return to social networking sites until the desired sum of money is donated. Superb Cause....Stupid Concept. So basically we get a taste of things how they were pre Facebook and Twitter when a person every move wasn't "news" And to get these celebs back the A list celebs are banking on just how much the average person craves the insight into their personal lives, so much so that we'll pay for it? Superb Cause....Stupid Concept. It'd be interesting if folk didn't donate the money just to see if these stars did truthfully stay silent.


Hit the Jump for the video and full Imagery behind this campaign.

Me and She


2002

Ok so for years on my online travels I've written and chronicled many of the things that have effected me and played a major role in the man I've grown to be. Well this woman has played a PIVOTAL role in that. Everyone has a person that gets to them, that at times can be both your strength and/or your weakness. She's that individual to me. It's a hell of friendship and I wouldn't have it any other way. We've had mega Ups and Super down but for whatever reason we're always bound to cross paths and make sure the other is good.

The references I make to "Lonelynites", in all honesty, she was as directly responsible for that in her own way as any single person. Long story but the end result is me being who I am today, so its good. The Love is super strong and beyond words, which says something considering how wordy I am. It's a Me and Her thing I guess. Anyway, Pix and a Vid of our randomness during her NY visit. Its an Online view of my Offline world.....

Pulling Happiness from Hopelessness


HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (June 19) --

Colby Curtin got her final wish.

The 10-year-old girl desperately wanted to see the new Disney-Pixar movie, "Up." But the cancer-stricken girl was too sick to go to a theater.
Thanks to a family friend who got in touch with the movie studio Pixar, an employee of the Emeryville-based company arrived at Colby's home with a DVD copy of the movie, The Orange County Register reported Friday. The girl died later that night.
Colby's mother, Lisa, said she had asked her daughter if she could hang on until the movie arrived.
"I'm ready (to die), but I'm going to wait for the movie," she said her daughter replied.
"Up" is the animated tale of a grumpy old man who, after his wife's death, tries to fulfill their joint dream of visiting South America by tying thousands of balloons to his house and floating away.
"When I watched it, I had really no idea about the content of the theme of the movie," Colby's mother told the Register. "I just know that word 'Up' and all of the balloons and I swear to you, for me it meant that (Colby) was going to go up. Up to heaven."
Colby, who was diagnosed with vascular cancer in 2005, saw previews for the film in April.
"It was from then on, she said, 'I have to see that movie. It is so cool,'" family friend Carole Lynch said.
But the girl's health began to deteriorate. On June 4, Curtin asked a hospice company to bring a wheelchair so that her daughter could go to a movie theater but the chair was not delivered over the weekend, Curtin said.
By June 9, Colby was too sick to go anywhere.
Another family friend, Terrell Orum, called both Pixar and Disney, which owns the animation studio. The message was received by Pixar officials, who agreed to send someone to Colby's house the next day with a copy of "Up" for a private screening, Orum said.
The employee arrived with the DVD, stuffed animals of characters and other movie memorabilia.
Colby was unable to open her eyes to see the movie so her mother described the scenes. When her mother asked if she enjoyed it, the girl nodded, Curtin said.
The Pixar employee left after the movie, taking the DVD, which has not been released. Lynch, who was with the family during the screening, said the employee's "eyes were just welled up."
A call to Pixar seeking comment was not immediately returned Friday.
Colby, with her parents nearby, died later that night.
Her mother said one of the memorabilia left by the Pixar employee was an "adventure book" based on a scrapbook that, in the movie, is kept by the wife of the main character.
"I'll have to fill those adventures in for her," Lisa Curtin said of her daughter.

Re-Energized




The cycle of how my emotions relate to my state of being is so interesting. Every dive into uncertainty is followed by a new awakening of strength. In other words I feel good about things. As this week continues it's time to get my plans on pace again. For the strong 2nd half of 09.

Today's Inspiration comes from Former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Chuck Noll;

"Champions don't beat themselves.If you want to win, do the ordinary things better than anyone else does"


Very simple and very effective

Lessons......


The guardian in me wants to help always. When my folk aren't happy I try to fix it the best I can. But sometimes good intentions can still have less then stellar results....
