Good Morning Everyone!!!! :D Happy Birthday tho those i have missed this past week, and Happy Birthday to ovemyadam! Welcome to those that have delurked!
Also, one year ago today i saw Adam :D here are My photos, and Video
To add to the GLAAD discussion, first....he really through down the gauntlett last year when he performed at the awards and made his parting declaration re diversity WITHIN the glbt community. Second....I could be wrong on this..but I have not seen anything that indicates he is being recognized at all for FYE, 2 hit singles, charity single, charity water or GNT. Nor have we heard that he is performing. Is it just too early for this or is he being completely shunned. Anybody know??
It is sad that GLAAD did not support Adam more fully from the start but was so wavering.
I still hold a grudge for GLAAD's lack of support. And OUT magazine. And the numerous other gays & gay organizations that have failed to support him. Huge kudos to the ones that do, although it shouldn't be too difficult to support someone as talented as Adam. No brainer. And it doesn't hurt that he's also an exemplary human being.
Spamming......... Just checked my twitter feed and all the recent posts are about non-Adam peeps. The Canyons, Tommy, Raja, Cherrys, etc. If this keeps up I'll have to take some time away from twitter! j/k
Saw a news report that SITTING is as bad for one's health as SMOKING. So this would be a perfect time to cut back on my sitting/internet time. But I'm not gonna do it cause I might miss something.
My problem with Maslow's hierarchy are the exceptions to the rule. I've met a number people living in the third world who are pursuing self-actualization with a focus unheard of in most of the US/Europe.
An alternative interpretation to ego as defined by Freud is "ego" as defined by eastern religions - buddhism, hinduism, and others. Lot's of varying beliefs within this huge area of course, and this is a super simplification, but "ego" here is often associated with a falsely inflated self-image, but also a feeling of lack or separation from the universe/god.
One theory (very simplified) is that the ego is our sense of individual identity which makes us feel small, limited, mortal, different from other people, separate from god/the universe. It is the nagging inner voice that belittles and judges ourselves as well as others. It's useful during the editing and refining part of art-making, but not during the creative stage.
The child on the other hand is our innocent, unlimited true nature, open to the universe, curious, playful, experimental, spontaneous -- the unbounded self that allows the divine spark to create through it.
Here's a Rumi poem (sufi mystic) which is kind of about that idea, and about music, so it seemed fitting:
Birdsong brings relief to my longing I'm just as ecstatic as they are, but with nothing to say! Please universal soul, practice some song or something through me!
I thought this was so beautifully said by rabbitrabbit. I brought it over from yesterday's dead thread.[/quote]
