Nick Drake- What I would have said if I had met him

I soooo understand. You are not alone. Don't give up.

I just finished watching a documentary about Nick Drake, a gemini voice who did not deal with is depression really well and lost his life at 26. I wished he had know that being depressed is part of his make up. I wished he had known that he was not alone. But his life ended when and they way it was meant too.
So please Check out his songs. I love "Pink Moon".

Where is the incentive to work harder? Why do all the singles owe more taxes?

The news of the proposed cap on executives salaries, on charitable donations and the idea of tax increase for rich is tempting me to question my drive to be make a great living. What is the point of encouraging people to seek higher education in order for them to get a better job if they are going to be forced to give most of their earnings away?

April 16 will be here soon and I have yet to do my taxes for fair of owing the government. Usually by now my refund is in the bank. Every year have been getting less and less state refund and I am certain that this year I am going to owe just because I am single. Is there anyway I can use the portion I pay for the things that I don't benefit from to pay the amount I will owe?

French anyone?

Bonjour tout le mode,
I am currently reviewing French and I hope to say more than "how are you" by May. I have not blogged much for many reasons including the fact that I am tres fatigue de travailler at both Arcadia court and at HMS, I have been trying to figure out a suitable diet to eliminate my digestive problems and also I have been trying to define my career objectives and goals.
I still have much to do, but first I must break to rest. Some of the progress I have made includes trying to stay away from dairy and citric product (which seems to help). Soon I hope to be writing and speaking in French, hopefully in Paris or Montreal. As for the career thing, I did put my objectives and my goals down on paper and the problem I must now tackle is finding ways to accomplish them.
C’est tout pour maintenant!

Concert goers- Brazillians versus North Americans

I am upset at the people who attended Alanis’ concert in Boston and New York along with me. I had fun and I have no complaint about her performance but if you check out these pictures and comments, you will know why I am upset.

The Brazilians who attended to her recent show rock because they are singing along with her and are on their feet dancing throughout her performances. At the New York and Boston, show those who were singing and dancing were told to sit-down by the lazy-drug-couch-potato audience members. Alanis is feeding off the energy for the audience and she as well as her band mates are at their best when the audience is psyched. She was having so much fun in Brazil that she allowed her assistant to go on stage with her to film the audience. She definitely those moments wants to remember.

When she releases her next album, I should go on tour with her (sorry you cannot come with) so I can school the audience on what needs to be done to experience a Brazil-style Alanis performance. It is difficult for my fellow Geminian to become tres-energize when the people around her somber, bless her heart she does try.
