February marks my one year anniversary since joining BFP. I supposed I should remember the exact day but I don't. It's been quite a learning curve and I'm grateful to a number of people for helping along the way.. for everything from explaining terminology in the Community, tech help with posting images, willingness to discuss personal experiences,and even some for exposing me to more sexual positions and possibilities than I had ever imagined. (Thanks hp, lol)

What is on my mind?
*sighs* I am trying so hard to keep positive and not freak out right now. We have four checks coming to us this month. Once they get here, bills will be paid, food will be bought for us and our food babies.. Other things we need will be taking care of, Valentine's Day will be amazing.. debts will be paid.. BUT.. they are not here yet. Food is running low, debtors are getting restless, Valentine's Day is fast approaching. They will get here.. please let they get here soon? |
What's on my mind...
I've watched a few youtube videos about the documentary "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead". I'm wondering if I have the willpower & stamina to try a juice fast. |
FaceBook is 10 years old today.

What is on my mind today is scheduling and budgets and future plans... making everything fit and everything work... lots of good things on my mind.

Philip Seymour Hoffman
Philip Seymour Hoffman is on my mind and, like many of you, I am saddened by his passing. I have spent the last few nights with Philip Seymour Hoffman and his work on film. But if I could have a few more hours with him, it would be to spend an evening with him on Broadway watching his interpretation and portrayal of Willy Loman in Arthur's Miller's Pulitzer Prize winning play, Death of A Salesman written in 1949.
Willy Loman is one of the greatest roles handed to an actor who is capable of intense character studies. Philip Seymour Hoffman is one of those actors and I envy anyone who had the rare privilege of seeing his performances within a theater's length of him. Lee J. Cobb is known for launching the role on film, but Philip Seymour Hoffman undoubtedly finishes one of Arthur Miller's greatest works on stage. I can't imagine anybody stepping into this role or equaling Hoffman's metamorphosis as the worn-down Loman; it is the perfect role for this actor who handled intense characterizations seamlessly. For me, Arthur Miller is one of the greatest dramatists of his time and in the ranks of Eugene O'Neill and Tennessee Williams. These writers were brilliant in their intense studies of personal and social issues. Most memorably, The Ice Man Cometh, O'Neill, Williams' Glass Menagerie or Michael Gazzo's Hatful of Rain, from 1957, which exposed drug addiction. My favorite work of Miller is the film All My Sons featuring Burt Lancaster and Edward G. Robinson. I have also read The Crucible as a script and as Miller's genius to expose McCarthy-ism as a witch hunt of the early 1950s. Although set in the 17th century, Miller's uses this vehicle to lambast the McCarthy hearings on anti-American activities and Communism in the early 1950s. Brilliant allegories. Sidebar: this is not a political post, but my own take of Miller's work as a dramatist only. Miller was incredible in his challenges of his own characters to examine themselves. Willy Loman is that kind of character in Death of A Salesman as as a weary, bitter, hard-ridden, working class salesman who examines and re-examines his life. Although produced on film with Lee J. Cobb and Dustin Hoffman, this role is really written for the stage. I can only imagine that the the mix of Miller and Hoffman together must have been an incredible experience. I would have given anything to see Philip Seymour Hoffman close up as an actor—just that far away from me—with Miller. My thoughts, today, are on the accounts of Hoffman's death and my own private time viewing of his works on film from the last 15 years. If I could have experienced Hoffman on stage—it would have completed his repertoire for me and given me yet, another new dimension of this incredible actor on stage. I'll miss him. |

Work is on my mind.
Well really more like the lack of responsibility others seem to have. I work with the medically fragile developmentally disabled in a home setting. Which means they depend on us for everything 24 hours a day and I mean everything. I love my job and how good I am at it even if it is a stressful job. My two girls help with that (smile). However this last weekend really pissed me off. Not that I had to work 36 hours straight but the reason behind it. I had to because so many people agency wide not just my house called in that they weren't even able to relieve us after 24 hours. Okay I understand car troubles I do but damn it the busses were running and the ones that got to work got there by bus. Well my fir brought me but I would have taken the bus if I had too. I tell you there is something wrong with peoples work ethics hell ethics period when workers at Wendy's can show up to work ( thank you btw) but caregivers responsible for the very lives of someone else can't!!! |
The frittata for dinner tonight was fantastic. I think I want seconds but I'm trying to resist the urge.
