The designers can try to bring the 80's back and they have been for 2-3 years. I saw a girl on the bus w/ legwarmers last winter...they are not coming back. Just because someone walks down the runway, doesn't mean it is going to be hot on the streets. And the harder the industry tries to shove this stuff down our throats the harder we are going to resist it. The memories are still to raw...maybe in 10 years people will parade around in that gear, but not yet. my $.02

BITCHDOM When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch. When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch. When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way, they call me a bitch. Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart. It means I live my life MY way. It means I won't allow anyone to step on me. When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it, I am defined as a bitch. The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish. It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I "should" be. I am outspoken, opinionated and determined. I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that! So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me. You won't succeed. And if that makes me a bitch, so be it. I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.

http://www.calendarlive.com/top/1,1419,L-LATimes-Calendar-X!ArticleDetail-63259,00.html From the article: Consumer surveys show that the majority of rap album buyers are suburban white males in their teens...No one expects rap or hip-hop to disappear, but is it in danger of losing the vibrancy that has made it the most exciting real estate on the pop music landscape in the past 20 years? The sharp first-quarter sales decline might be explained away by a lack of high-profile releases, but some observers say the genre may also have a drought of true superstars..."I don't see the new stars pushing things forward, not like the generations before them," esteemed rap video director Hype Williams said. "I wish I did."...Some observers point to the deaths of superstars such as 2Pac and the Notorious B.I.G., but others blame the genre's culture of cash competition and the narrow thematic focus of hard-core street rap; the former pushes toward the predictable mainstream where wide audiences can be found, while the latter creates a repetitious revisiting of topics that rarely feels fresh or edgy anymore.

When you are trying to read the directions to afterhours and realize you can't read anymore...then attempt to turn it upside down, hoping that will help....nope, it's all chinese at that point When you have no clue where your friends went, and they are 3 feet in front of you... When you aren't sure if you are actually talking or just thinking... My personal favorite memory....when you say to your friend "Hey look at those paisleys on that guys white suit! They are moving!!"...and your friend looks at you, "What paisleys?"

Okay, I am not happy about all the white shirt wearing, beard sporting rednecks that will be milling about, but after the sun sets and they go back to the burbs, it's go-go time baby! If you have never seen him, I would highly recommend checking Chuck Brown out - and high marks for the Kelly Bell Band too. it don't mean a thing if ain't got the go-go swing....do wa do wa do wa dowaaaaa

Oooh, don't withhold rent because that will just backfire and you could get evicted. I am not sure what the rules are exactly regarding 'livability', but I think it has more to do w/ electricity, heat, water, etc. - the basics. You can call the DCRA (Department of Consumer Regulatory Affairs) they are the ones that handle landlord/tenant issues. http://dcra.dc.gov/main.shtm I think there is also a legal kindof website - Nolo or something like that which might give you some pointers on how to handle this guy.... Good luck!

Hold up....what if the girl doesn't want your drunk ass to drive home drunk? I am currently getting the backlash from a guy who thought we were dating, but I thought we were just happy hour buddies.... Guys, wouldn't you get a clue if - in 10 months, 1 quick kiss goodbye, you alternate paying for the tab, no phone calls, all planning communication is done through emails - that you ain't getting any and are in the friend category???

EWWWWWWWW!!!!! She never heard of a pedicure before? How much did she pay this friend....ewww, did she pop her zits too?

My ideal job - a travel writer, you get to travel to lots of great places, the hotels/bars/etc. would kiss your butt so that you write good stuff about them - all on the company's tab! But since I can't get that gig, the quals for an ideal job: respect & automony a good work/life balance a harmonious working environment (i.e., no nasty bosses or backstabbing coworkers) believing in what the organization does I just quit an evil job with none of the above and took a big paycut to work for a non-profit....I don't make any money now, but I have my life back -- time in the mornings to walk my dog, time in the evening for happy hours....the one downside - the sad paychecks so as a result I have set up my own nonprofit - "Mojitos for Silly Rabbit SuperFund".

Lovley Day by Bill Withers or As by Stevie Wonder (and the Mary J/George M. version is great too) Both really happy upbeat songs that say it all...

I have sooo been pondering this dilemma myself...anyone know anything about the IUD? As a smoker, the pill is not recommended....and I definitely don't want the pill/shot weight gain!

...a little Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite, Cabana boy in tow (it is summer, so all girls must have cabana boys) and awwwwww yeeeahhhh....thanks for reminding me Isn't summer grand? And I like the way dragongrrrl put it, "Not all music has soul- not even all good music- that's what makes it something you notice- because it doesn't exist in everything. Also, not everyone picks up on soul all the time. It depends on what your personal preferences in music are in the first place." Hee-hee, I bet somewhere out in Montana there is a rancher grooving to some country tune - because for him, it's got soul.

Maybe your friend was talking about the hollowness of the music - the cookie cutter stuff that is out there...because I will often hear a song and think how empty it sounds - just arranged notes, nothing to stir me..., sure it can make you dance, but it doesn't groove you...I think soul is the thing that makes you sit back and say 'awwwww yeah'...

Ohhhhh, now if I can get my lazy friends outta the bars and into the clubs...I am so down!
