all the world's a stage, and if everyone jumps off the bridge will you jump too?

oh why the heck not. i think i'll try this as well, try it out temporarily, see how it goes. don't know if i actually have anything to say at the moment... but there is something seductive about seeing my words on a screen. it panders to my secret fantasy of being "published" under a pseudonym (yet those who run in my inner circle will giggle deliciously having the delightful advantage of being in the know and will feel superior to everyone else).

a "drama queen" friend of mine complained about drama following her. i'm thinking, life is all about drama! "all the world's a stage..." if there's no drama, then we're just breathing air (to quote another friend).

my therapist has also suggested i keep a diary of sorts. being the consumate performer/diva queen/stage hog that i am, i figure i'll maintain the kind of diary that attracts an audience. why not, life's a theater anyway, and i'm getting tired of intermission.

so, what will this whole blog be about? RANTS!!!! my rants against the awful things in the world and society and the impossibility of trying to keep up with the culture of desire that we live in, bad art, bad food, evil intentions, and mind numbing mediocrity . RAVES!!! my raves about the good things in our world... euphorically good food, dialogue provoking art, mind boggling books, delicious wine, great sake, good souls, people who try to make a difference, awesome music that move the soul and tickle the feet, amazing places, consciousness altering journeys, beautiful sex, pretty flowers, the chaos of and humor in raising kids, self awareness.... these are a few of my favorite things. and then there's everything in between.

we'll see how this goes. this might be fun!
