Tim O'Brien, The Things They Carried

Good People Doing Good Things -- Carrying On ... Literally

Sometimes it’s all a matter of being in the right place at the right time, as it was when this elderly woman fell while hiking in the mountains in Washington.  Today’s good people are three young people who went the extra mile … er, 3 miles … and in so doing almost certainly saved a life one day recently.  This story comes from The Washington Post “Inpsired Life” series on September 25th … Ursula…

God ≠ Love

If there is a God, he will have to beg for my forgiveness.~Scratched into an Auschwitz wall I have danced with spirituality most of my life occasionally falling into the trap of organized religion, a steel toothed bear trap that viciously bites into the bone any time I wiggled with spiritual questions challenging the official ‘truth’ of the religion. I am mostly free of that serrated vice aside…

Writing, according to Tim O'Brien

I’m reading The Things They Carried for the first time. I had read the short story of the same name my first year of college, but my coworker Keith (he has a cool movie-review blog) lent me his copy of the great Tim O’Brien masterpiece last week, saying it’s his favorite book. I’m not surprised. This book is fantastic so far. I’ll have a full review when I’m finished, but suffice to say for now…

My liver, the pain of clear thought, $5.75 for an Absolut on the rocks at the Hotel Dorset, New York City, and other great prices paid by various writers in their careers

From “Don’t Everybody Talk at Once! (The Esquire Literary Survey).” Published in Esquire, August 1986. The “article” consists of a ten-question questionnaire Esquire fiction editor Rust Hills sent to around fifty American writers. What’s the greatest price you’ve paid in your career?

Today was a double day kind of day. I swam in the morning then went for a run in the afternoon. My knees were acting up a bit and I’m realizing I can’t always rely on running to get me through the bad times.

I’m currently reading the things they carried by Tim o’ Brien. It’s a reread for me. I remember the first time I read it I was 16. I sat under some shade in the grass at the park and read 2/3 of it in one go. I still remember the way the breeze felt and the soft coolness of grass.

I have an appointment with my psychiatrist on Thursday to discuss a med change. I’m looking and a little scared at my prospects. They created a new drug for schizophrenia that treats the illness without affecting dopamine which would solve a lot of my problems. But it’s a ways off before I’ll be able to access anything like that.

AllMusic Staff Pick: Hot Rize Untold Stories

The combo of vocalist/fiddler/mandolinist Tim O' Brien and banjo player Pete Wernick was never stronger than on Hot Rize's 1987 release Untold Stories. Never as "progressive" as some of their peers (New Grass Revival, the Seldom Scene, Country Gazette), Hot Rize were able to hold on to the trappings of traditional roots music without ever letting it sound stale or too "old-timey."

Album Review: Michael Cleveland - Lovin’ of the Game

If respect can be measured by friendships, then Michael Cleveland is the Aretha Franklin of bluegrass.

The liner notes of Cleveland’s Lovin’ of the Game must’ve drained several ink jars for such bold-face names as the Travelin’ McCourys, Billy Strings, Vince Gill, Béla Fleck, Dan Tyminski, Charlie Starr, Tim O’ Brien and others who appear on various tracks when Cleveland isn’t jamming with his own band, Flame Keeper.

The guests are both the strength and relative weakness of the Game. For while the playing is beyond reproach, the diversity of players makes for a lack of cohesion as the album zigs across the jamgrass of “For Your Love” (Strings) before zagging to the country waltz of Gill’s “I Wish I Knew Now What I Knew Then” and the clichéd, new-country balladry of Starr’s re-recording of Blackberry Smoke’s “One Horse Town.”

On Lovin’ of the Game, the hottest tracks are instrumentals like “Thousand Dollar Holler” and “Contact,” with Fleck, Barry Bales and Cody Kilby.

At the center of it all is Cleveland, the blind, partially deaf fiddler who never fails to heat up any collaboration in which he’s involved.

Grade card: Michael Cleveland - Lovin’ of the Game - B

Jim Sharman was born in Sydney, the son of boxing tent impresario He was educated in Sydney, though his upbringing included time spent on Australian showgrounds, where his father ran a travelling sideshow of popular legend, founded by his own father, called "Jimmy Sharman's Boxing Troupe".[3] This brought him into contact with the world of circus and travelling vaudeville.

DENTIDAS SEXUAL FLUIDA

LO BINARTIO NO ES SUFCIENTE

O BRIEN - SI HIBIERA SIFDO MUJER

“What I’ve always wanted to be was whole — centrally whole and complete,” “But I have so much girl in me it doesn’t make any sense. I think it would have made more sense had I been born a girl. That’s true. But it is a patriarchic, misogynistic fucking world. So aren’t I lucky? Because I’ve been able to walk down streets and go places that I wouldn’t ever have been able to go down had I been a girl. You just have to put everything in perspective, really.

However he dislikes sexual labels and refuses to refer to himself as straight, gay, or bi. At a 2007 charity auction, he declared that "I have slept with 300 women, 30 or 40 men and around 12 transsexuals".

Richard O’Brien has revealed that the inspiration for  Dr. Frank N. Furter, was inspired by his own experiences cross-dressing and grappling with his gender identity as a young aspiring actor from New Zealand living in London in the early 1970s.

O’Brien, 81, has been married three times, to three different women, and has three children from the first two marriages — two sons and a daughter. When it comes to his own gender identity, however, he says no binary answer is sufficient.

Barry Bostwick "Brad Majors"

Susan Sarandon - Had her breakout role in “Rocky Horror” as Janet Weiss, the wholesome young woman who discovers her wild side.

Susan Sarandon _ in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, challenged traditional gender norms and embraced sexuality as a form of empowerment. Sarandon advocates for open, non-judgmental conversations about sexuality and supports empowering women to make their own choices.

Meat Loaf landed the onscreen role of delivery boy/brain donor Eddie after he played the part in the Broadway production.

In this spectacular sequel, the title character dons a streaky, upright hairdo that was modeled after a famous bust of Nefertiti, an ancient Egyptian queen.

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (1951) - “Science Fiction/Double Feature” acknowledges one of the most topical films of 1951. Once the Cold War arrived, sci-fi movies began to grow more overtly political. In The Day the Earth Stood Still, a benevolent alien named Klaatu (played by Michael Rennie) warns the human race that its increasing usage of nuclear weapons has made other planets nervous enough to consider wiping out all life on Earth in a preemptive strike

Day 208: Friday July 26, 2024 - "On Site"

Spent the day as a Lobo doing as good of a job, finishing up at just after five. Was treated to some Dion's Pizza topped with Green Chiles and I earned it today. Time to open the gate and ride out the weekend after a very hard earned work week/month/year.

Song: Tim O' Brien - There Aint No Easy Way

Quote: “Abandon the idea that you are ever going to finish. Lose track of the 400 pages and write just one page for each day.

Just set one day’s work in front of the last day’s work. That’s the way it comes out. And that’s the only way it does.” — John Steinbeck
