World AIDS Day 2013

Thank you to those that have made my ongoing journey fierce and fab! Your uniqueness left an imprint on me. Well, you know this since your essence is part of the ether, and you see all.

I continue to share the lessons you taught me with others. And, when I feel down and out, the love and/or kikis we shared lifts my spirit.

With love and appreciation I type the names:

May we do better when the next pandemic comes. 

Glee Is The New Fame

Glee is the new Fame. How do I know this to be true? Well, watch some old episodes of Fame on hulu.com and you will understand. We have a bunch of kids that want to be stars, while each of them have some drama going on in their lives.

I was surprised to see I recalled a lot of details about the episodes of Fame. Like most kids in the early 80s, I wanted to go to that school. I opted instead for the High School of Fashion Industries, which was equally genius in terms of the creativity of the students.

BTW, a lot of the Fame's episodes didn't really hold up. I actually now feel most of the singing is really mediocre, and Bruno's original music sucks! However, it is great to see Debbie Allen in action. She always reminded me of my Titi Maria. Oh, and Leroy's body and moves still hypnotize me. I was also pleased to see that Doris and Danny still made me kiki.
