I've loved "The Battery's Down" for the entirety of the 2 seasons on YouTube and think the series finale was the most AMAZING! I've been in tears all night. Oh and BTW, Congrats to Jake Wilson for finally coming out! Here's some lyrics from that awesome episode:
"Close your eyes and it's over
Close your eyes and the moments passed
So let it all come, and let it all go
Soon it will have been too fast, too fast
[...]To celebrate life, to celebrate people,
In love, Fighting For LOVE, wasn't it always about love?
This is your life!
Eyes are fully open, darlin', but all I can see is you
Wishin' and prayin' and hopin' darlin', to find me some dream come true
And its you
This is your time, look around you
You've been so lost and it's time you found,
The thing that you want, but what do you want
Is it fame? or is it applause? No something tells me it's love
This is your life!
Eyes are fully open darlin, but all I can see is you
Wishin' and prayin' and hopin' darlin', to find me some dream come true
It's not the life I thought I'd see, but I was blind before
It's not the life I thought it would be, but no it's so much more
I vow to be there for my friends, I vow to love,
To love, to love, to love, to love, to love, to love, to love, to love, to love
Eyes are fully open darlin, but all I can see is you
Wishin' and prayin' and hopin' darlin', to find me some dream come true
It's not the life I thought I'd see, but I was blind before
It's not the life I thought it would be, but no it's so much more
Eyes wide open, all I see is you
Eyes wide open to a dream come true
Eyes wide open, all I see is you (This is your life, yeah it's cliche)
Eyes wide open to a dream come true (But it's all you think about all damn day)
Eyes wide open, all I see is you (So don't you go now, and throw it all away
Eyes wide open to a dream come true (All Away, This is your life)
You're gonna be okay!"
The line Soon it will have been too fast, too fast really hit me like a ton of bricks. I really want to fall in love and yet feel hopeless in that department. I guess it's always calmest before the storm. LOL (I love mixing metaphors).
Oh yeah, and one of my old college buddies offered me free rent and a great paying job if I move...to China! That would be a trip!!

Another MAPS3 Update
From this story:
http://www.wbtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=11043458
So they had $7 million in revenues, made $11,000 in profit, have $38 million in debt, and are in default...Why does OKC want one of these?
I promise I will stop talking about this soon...the election is on Tuesday.

MAPS3 Update
Well I went to a small meeting (with about 25 people there) and the mayor was there giving a presentation about MAPS3. I was happy that he finally gave us some more details about what will happen if it passes. I was sad that he was going about it at 25 people at a time.
I did get to ask him an important question about the convention center (the most wasteful part of the proposal) and he admitted (Thankfully!) that it wouldn't be a revenue source for the city. He admitted that it would only be balanced by the Ford Center (our NBA basketball arena) as a revenue positive site.
His proposal, while well rehearsed, only moved my positive outlook by about 10% (from 25-35%) for my vote. I'm still planning on voting no unless someone will convince me to vote yes. I am a skeptic about this proposal, and any proposal about making MAPS a perpetual tax while not addressing infrastructure issues. I was pleased to get a follow up question and overall I thought it was a good discussion. I only wish he would have spent more time taking questions rather than giving us his spiel. We are the most informed people in the area (it being a Midtown Rotary meeting).
Anyway, I was very pleased about the evening and hope that if it does pass, I will be considered for the Citizen's Oversight Board (an unconstitutional, non-binding volunteer committee supposedly going to oversee the progress of these projects).

Holidays
I had a great holiday! It was 4 days filled with fun, food, football, family, friends, even Framboise (raspberry beer), and another F-word if you can believe it...I think I haven't had as whirlwind of a time in a long while. I think the most interesting thing I heard was the turkey infused with vodka.
Yesterday, I read an article about the 'turkey drop' which is the last time someone can break up with their significant other until after Vday in February. So I didn't really ponder much on it until it was 430 this morning, and I woke up to piss. (I can only imagine how funny I look with my breathe-right on my nose, my sleep mask on my eyes, and my hoodie on over my head walking around my apt in the middle of the night).
Then I couldn't get the thought out of my head that I would spend another holiday season alone, how I was a failure, and how it feels to wake up alone every morning. Well, after a 20 minute pity party, I was still tired so I decided that I wanted to get over that thought. It comes down to not worrying about things what will be will be, c'est le vie. After that I fell back to sleep and dreamed about some boys and woke up refreshed and alive. I'm looking forward to the holidays, to making this one special, and to enjoying the time that I have (for none are promised tomorrow).
Sorry to be a bit down; I'm actually feeling much better today since the sun is shining!
