a could be...
i’d rather be a could-be, if i can not be an are; cause a could-be is a maybe reaching for a star. and i’d rather be a has-been than a might-have-been by far. cause a might-have-been, has never been, but a has-been was once an are.

Song of Songs 4: 1-7 Lover
1 How beautiful you are, my darling!
Oh, how beautiful!
Your eyes behind your veil are doves.
Your hair is like a flock of goats
descending from Mount Gilead.
2 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn,
coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin;
not one of them is alone.
3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon;
your mouth is lovely.
Your temples behind your veil
are like...

POSTMANTERRORISM
by Nick Lantz
Would it make a difference to say we suffered from affluenza in those days? Could we blame Reaganomics, advertainment, the turducken and televangelism we swallowed by the sporkful, all that brunch and Jazzercise, Frappuccinos we guzzled on the Seatac tarmac, sexcellent celebutantes we ogled with camcorders...
WatchDo the hump.
When I was in eighth grade, I could have never imagined having this stage in my future. Blast! (as in having one.)
Advice to Kevin Smith: Eat less, move more.
I’ve had incredible customer service from Southwest Airlines for over ten years. As a frequent traveler, I can say that I consistently choose Southwest because they are accommodating, friendly, and helpful. The part I think its surprising about this whole uproar is that no one seems to remember that Southwest Airlines was accommodating Kevin Smith by placing him on a flight that was...

Here we go in the time machine. Read this article from 2006 in the Nashville Scene. Hard to believe so much has changed in these 4 quick years.

The Sighing Hours Phase 1 Wish List and Job Opportunities
OK folks, things are falling into place and it’s going to be “go time” very soon. We plan to present the World Premiere of The Sighing Hours on stage in late 2010 or early 2011. We need to raise between $120,000 and $150,000 by August. Sticker shock? Imagine how we feel. Fortunately, we already have unsolicited...

My Name is not Andrew.
My real name is Andra, unfortunately for me. I spend the first 20 seconds of each and every introduction explaining how to pronounce it. “It’s like Sandra without the S,” I say cheerily. I have done this since I was about 3, when my dad came up with it to help his bewildered friends know what to call his little tow-headed daughter. Every time I meet someone new, I try to...
