expressionism movement revival?

there are so many good young unknown writers, artists, dancers, etc out there right now. many of them are very expressive. if you think about krumping, profound music and visual artists, writers, and dancers...all of that expression says to me that we have a revial of the expressionism movement. educate yourself:


"'Expressionism' was a cultural movement, initially in poetry and painting, originating in Germany at the start of the 20th century. Its typical trait is to present the world under an utterly subjective perspective, violently distorting it to obtain an emotional effect and vividly transmit personal moods and ideas. Expressionist artists sought to express the meaning of "being alive" and emotional experience rather than physical reality." - Wikipedia


it's official and you read it right here before anywhere else. we are in the middle of a movement. let me know what you're doing to be a part of it: domuniquedduhent@gmail.com

so the fam and i go to the mini-carnival in town and i see the place is packed with teens. so i'm looking around and noticing that some of these kids are doing things that i swear they mamas would kill them over. this one dude was putting his tongue in this girl's ear that he was hugged up with. young cats pay attention: there is nothing sexy about earwax. period. anyway, i'm walking around with my daughter in my arms waiting in line for a ride and i look up to find this teen girl trying to make eyes with me. i'm like hell nah! granted i did shave, and i dont look my age, but still...at 13, 14, 15, 16...what you know about making eyes with somebody you don't know? i mean, what if they met a perv and walked off with them? they would be in a bad situation. there are some messed up people out there so the moral of the story is...parents if you're gonna let your teens run the streets, make sure they are in large groups and they know how to dial for help. gee...by the way somebody's daughter out there has clean ears now so no need to worry about that.

So addicted
Had no idea it was like this,
Touch of death
Killed my ego just with one kiss,
Can't get enough of ya lately
So now I'm having fits,
Arms itching, where you been?
Hook me up, I need a fix...
Damn,
My family say I need an intervention,
But I ain't hearing it
So I don't even pay attention,
Coz,
I can do without you if I have to,
I'm sure that I can find another
To replace you,
Who am I kidding?
It's been two days,
And I ain't making any progress
With these shakes,
I wish that you would fade
From my vision like a shade,
One minute at a time
It gets easier to say,
That today will be the day
And I'ma be okay,
Goodbye...

i'm kinda sad right now. my wife and i have been trying to have children for years. the chances of us having a baby naturally was so slim that our doctor suggested that we looked into artificial medical procedures. the methods are so expensive that health insurance wouldn't cover it because it's not a necessary medical procedure. and on teacher's wages, it's definitely nothing we could pay for without saving. after discussion and careful planning, we saved enough to try the procedure once and if that didn't work, we were going to adopt. so we tried, and my wife didn't get pregnant. however, our doctor convinced us to try one more time and sure enough the second time she got pregnant! i was so excited to meet my firstborn as i watched my wife's belly grow. about a month out from her expected due date, my wife began to worry because she hadnt felt the baby kick. we went to the hospital and they induced her labor to save the baby. sadly, instead of celebrating, we signed a death certificate and started planning a funeral. now that it's over, we are without the child we always wanted and the means to adopt. it kinda put things in prospective for me this week. with all the talk of invasive abortions that people opt for because they wrecklessly live their life, and there are good people out there that wish they had a blessing to call their own. makes you wonder why good things happen to bad people. i just needed to talk to someone who has been in my shoes before.
thanks dom. a friend of mine refered me to your blog.

poe-tay-toe vs pah-tah-toe

there has been a very slight, yet necessary change made to the recently passed controversial arizona law. for those that don't know the state of arizona has passed a law that makes it a crime to be an illegal immigrant, punishable via imprisonment and due process that includes deportation. the "remix" to this law, as it were, is as follows:

"The new version of the law says: "A law enforcement official or agency of this state or a county, city, town or other political subdivision of this state may not consider race, color or national origin in implementing the requirements of this subsection except to the extent permitted by the United States or Arizona Constitution."

The prior version had said that an official "may not solely consider race" in such circumstances.

The change appears to limit the scope of the law. The previous wording left open the possibility that race could be used as a factor -- just not the sole factor -- in deciding to stop someone."

where does this put us? hm...no better than we were. there are some that believe that this goes back to having probable cause. it's not uncommon to find situations where probable cause is quite a gray area. others argue that the likelihood of asking a man from europe for his legal documentation that proves he can be here is practically zero; yet, asking a u.s. born latin man for documentation is almost certain. racial profiling will still be an issue without the law. it's just a little more legal now. we'll see in the next 90 days how this will pan out when the law officially goes into effect.
