I thought I knew what I stood for–what I believed in. Looking back, though, I realize I was a brainwashed fool. It was definitely not one of my finer moments.
Happy 4th.

Nostalgia, Part 2–May The Force Be With You–And, Also With You
One night, I was watching the Muppet Show. This episode was about Luke Skywalker, R2D2, and C3PO storming through the wall of the theatre looking for Chewbacca. I remember watching and thinking--who are these characters?--this was not normal fare for The Muppet Show. What is this “Star Wars?” I vaguely recall thinking "I am now going to like Star Wars".

It is the movie that if I were channel surfing and saw that it was on, I would stop and watch it.
If you are offended by breasts, do not continue.
The first novela I remember watching was a “novela das 7” called “Um Sonho a Mais.” It was a light, fluffy, ridiculous story whose plot I vaguely remember only after reading about it on Wikipedia. This was my introduction to the daily, can’t miss, 6 day a week world of Brasilian soap operas.

When You Get Lost Between the Moon and New York City
album that has stood the test of time and is remembered as an icon of its era. However, that isn’t the case.

My parents, like many other families, were sucked in by Hallmark and we were made to participate in the “I have to show you I love you by buying you a card” machine.
My Own Billy Elliot
He was so excited to tell Amanda’s students that his mom was dating Kermit. Never, have I been so proud to be referred to as a green frog.
The Most Interesting Kid in the World
He is a 17 year old with the soul of an old bohemian who has subsided on life, cussing, black coffee* and liquor.
The Five Ivans and Ivy
It would be interesting to give a child a “temporary” name and let them decide as they get older. Granted you would probably have to go through a period when your child wants to be named T-Rex or Princess Ariel or Xyzfg
