hanbak - no day but today

there comes a point where everything just seems to fall in place and I feel as though i am approaching that stage of my life. I have finally found a love that I know can stand the test of time and where i know that the person i am with cares about me to the extent that it comforts me.

 

now if only i could feel that way about my career and job future....

 

one step at a time

the little blog that could has lived to see another day.

 

Happy Birthday to you and i hope to carry this furthder in 2008!!!!!!!!!!!

 

its my birthday and i could blog if i want to, blog if i want to. you would blog too if it happened to youuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I really haven't done this in a while but i think its about to get back to documenting my randomness because...its what i do and moreso because i've received a burst of encouragement.

 

the internet is a beautiful place. i mean ppl know you that you have never even met. ppl can identify with you regardless of race, gender or any other supposed "difference" between themselves...yet somehow this beautiful thing has managed to make the world seem just a wee bit smaller. I went out to dinner for a friend's bday, and ended up talking to a guy who randomly says "i used to read your blog and i found it quite entertaining". now ya know foolish Shars had to ask if he was sure it was mine....because believe you me i never really imagined my blog having any scope outside of my msn list or rather outside of mels, keisha and yappy. But oddly enough that felt good. It made me smile knowing my seemingly useless banter was entertaining someone despite the fact it had been rated "Elementary" (yes yappy i went to the damn website)

 

it just really brought home the point though that i want to get back into blogging and not let it be something that went through a phase. I want to be able to rant and rave about Britney being the worst possible mother in the world and not care that im being too "pop-tastic". Most importantly i want to have fun with it again so as a new year's resolution, this blog is back in full effect....

 

Another reason i had to get back to blogging was because i found out something yesterday that killed just a bit of me inside. I found out that RENT is ending its 12 year Broadway run in June of this year.

 

Now i know that this isn't exactly earth shattering news but it did have an affect on me due to the fact that RENT had become somewhat of a mantra for me. The whole notion of living today like its your last day and doing for yourself without second guessing due to what others may think. It's brought a lot of realities to the fore in my life especially during these last few years when i became a RENT-head by way of the movie. I told myself that if I ever go to NY without seeing that performed live it would have been a travesty to my existence (yea dramatic i know). Luckily i did get my wish though and apparently just in time too. I don't know how many ppl know the story behind RENT but it was a revolutionary portrayal of the 90's better known as the age of bohemia and AIDS and it was set in a time where artists had to struggle to be recognised for good work and in the characters ppl found bits of themselves...at least thats what ive read about the original RENT-heads.  Unfortunately the death of boheme means that generations to come wouldn't have the inspiration that this film gave me but who knows, maybe its a sign that they ppl wouldn't  need inspiration from a play. That every one would find the "grab the bull by the horns" mentality and make it for themselves. Who knows, maybe this may just be geared towards me and telling me that i too have some decisions to make....525,600 minutes....i think thats enough time to reach a goal...
