To one...She's good; I had fun with that poem. <br /><br />To one of your points, I always think I'm the most messed up one in a roomful of adults. But then as I work the room, I learn the shocking truth -- suicide attempts, chronic migraines, clinical depression and on and on. And it seems as if almost everyone is under a doctor's care and on some form of psychoactive drug. <br /><br />At least I write my own prescriptions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883979841111173610.post-42795699849520050112010-06-04T10:06:12.138-04:002010-06-04T10:06:12.138-04:00thanks for the visit on my blog ;)thanks for the visit on my blog ;)Babzy.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08726884546505964576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883979841111173610.post-26624671690945248262010-06-04T09:38:38.215-04:002010-06-04T09:38:38.215-04:00AH, all true.

But I watched and listened to it again, and I still have trouble with the attitude of Mr. Powell--and maybe Mr. Flynn, though he's certainly been given a difficult chance at kindness or diplomacy. Has he been set up by the filmmaker? <br /><br />Once again, you provide fodder for a Banjo post. We'll see. <br /><br />Have you seen the "Moments" film or the Addonizio poem or the Monster Shredder video? Seems to me they're doing something at least somewhat original.Banjo52https://www.blogger.com/profile/04342397136888422440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883979841111173610.post-24655582001198442152010-06-03T19:53:39.383-04:002010-06-03T19:53:39.383-04:00I'll look into it, Ken.

Also some river shots last fall, but they're pretty touristy. <br /><br />You wouldn't have trouble finding forlorn places. But a lot of beauties still stand, and no one talks about that, it seems. <br /><br />Are you aware of the new movement to tear down a lot of the vacant buildings and replace them with green space? Of course, even tearing 'em down costs money.Banjo52https://www.blogger.com/profile/04342397136888422440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883979841111173610.post-28806715864203927352010-06-03T19:51:56.100-04:002010-06-03T19:51:56.100-04:00Well, go shoot some blight for Ken Mac, for goodne...Well, go shoot some blight for Ken Mac, for goodness sakes. <br /><br />A couple of points: We are not watching writers stick pins in a 17-year old kid. The video was from the perspective of an adult who used his work from a decade or two before to springboard a conversation on what defines good writing from bad. (Sedaris was rather lovely, I thought.)<br /><br />You mentioned blogs and the supportive comments that generally appear. That's because a blog reader exercises choice -- if you don't like it, you don't go back, or you don't finish reading, or you leave a comment that says it's sunny today or your car broke down. A teacher doesn't have that luxury.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883979841111173610.post-69396019623241908002010-06-03T16:55:40.401-04:002010-06-03T16:55:40.401-04:00let's see photos of some those closed Detroit ...let's see photos of some those closed Detroit joints!
