every once in awhile i return to twitter to check the news, or comment on say, the debate. so when i asked a meaningful question to practicing catholics who are pro-choice, how they are able to comingle both in their lives, i was met with a response, "get a grip" by the lady who used to be in that tv show, 24. she's a comedian, and played Keifer's assistant - she always had the serious look on her face while she sat in front of a glowing computer.
this sarcastic response tells ya two things:
-its your fault if you expect anything meaningful from twitter (meaning, it's my fault). Some times you get lucky -- it's how Riley Gale and I became friends, and how was able to engage with people I really admire (like Chilly Gonzales). but for me to expect a serious answer to an honest question is my fault.
and it proves the Scott Adams dictum (is that the right word?)
that you can't expect rational information from artists - a catch-all description for people in entertainment, be they actors, writers etc. But when you run into someone in the entertainment world that has a little background in business or economics or worked in non-entertainment settings for years - you get a fuller, more experienced person who can engage on multiple levels.
that's all!

Twenty-five years later, we remember the lives lost, the heroes who stepped forward, and the families who have carried the unimaginable pain of losing someone they loved.
9/11 reminded us that nowhere feels completely safe and that life can change in an instant. But it also reminded us of courage, compassion, and the strength of people coming together.
We remember. We honor. We will never forget.
This person was murdered this week in Austin Texas. He was one of the sweetest most helpful persons I’ve ever met. Supremely gentle. Willing to do just about anything for another person. And he was stabbed to death on a street at 11 am in the morning. For no reason other than a maniac was free to roam the streets. Rest in peace Andrew. We won’t forget you.
