"Sorry to Intrude"

Sorry, I mean not to intrude,
Nor do I intend to be rude,
By your words, I was inspired,
To express myself I truly desired.
Days since I last writ a word,
Could not think of one, 'twas absurd.
Thy words hath inspired me, a new poem I have writ.
Here is another, one I relay as I sit.
From one poet to another,
A mind unlike any other,
Awestruck I am with thy talent,
These sincere words I do not repent.
From my heart, these words are sent.

"I Love the A"

Though short is this piece,
Praises and shouts I release,
To a city so grand and fun,
Never, ever will I shun.
From movies to clubs to plays,
To restaurants that feed you for days,
I shall never tire of the A.
One of the best cities, I dare say,
One in which I shall reside someday,
'Tis better and livelier than mine, I relay.
For now in my city I shall stay,
Until I can up and move away.
To finally be on my own is my goal,
My life will at last be nearly whole.
Someone special I shall surely meet
One who shall make my life complete.
My life shall forever be replete.

"Where the Wild Things Are" Not for Kids?

Apparently, the film, "Where the Wild Things Are", based on the beloved classic story of the same name by Spike Jonze, turns out to be a hit with the adults. The adults, as children, read and know the story, but the kids of today, being drawn in by animation, seems not so "wild" about it. But, the film received good notes. I know I loved the story, so I hope to see it soon.

6 Year Old Safe: No Balloon Ride After all

Well, it seems that the 6 year old, who was feared to have taken a ride on the family helium balloon, which had gliding up to 50 miles through the air, was actually hiding out at the home the whole time. According to an article on yahoo news, the child's brother said the parents were "besides themselves with worry". The balloon went up Thursday, and the Denver International Airport had to be closed down. Although people reported seeing someone fall out, the fears were laid to rest when, a week later, the child was hiding at home, safe and sound.

From here on out, this I affirm,
That from this day forward I confirm,
A better man, I shall become,
A better friend to some,
I long ever to prove to some,
But I shall first prove this to myself.
A life I shall live that's not on a shelf.
If only those I hurt would offer a chance,
If only they would shoot one more glance,
Within me they shall see a radiant glow,
A shimmering, blinding sheen from head to toe,
Then, they will see the real me inside
Never from me will they hide.
If only they could see inside my heart,
Never would they want to depart.
We could be friends from the start.

From Yahoo! News: "Obama reaffirms will end 'don't ask, don't tell'"

By CHRISTINE SIMMONS, Associated Press Writer Christine Simmons, Associated Press Writer – 1 hr 11 mins ago

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama reaffirmed his campaign pledge to end the ban on homosexuals serving openly in the military in a speech Saturday, but offered no timetable or specifics for acting on that promise.

He acknowledged to a cheering crowd that some policy changes he promised on the campaign trail are not coming as quickly as they expected.

"I will end 'don't ask-don't tell,'" Obama said to a standing ovation from the crowd of about 3,000 at the annual dinner of the Human Rights Campaign, a gay civil rights advocacy group.
The law was passed by Congress in 1993 and signed by President Bill Clinton, who also promised to repeal the ban on homosexuals in the military but was blunted by opposition in the military and Congress. Obama said he's working with Pentagon and congressional leaders on ending the policy.

"We should not be punishing patriotic Americans who have stepped forward to serve the country," Obama said. "We should be celebrating their willingness to step forward and show such courage ... especially when we are fighting two wars."

Obama said it was no secret "our progress may be taking longer than we like." He followed this by asking supporters to trust his administration's course.

"I appreciate that many of you don't believe progress has come fast enough," Obama said. "Do not doubt the direction we are heading and the destination we will reach."
Some advocates said they already have heard Obama's promises — they just want to hear a timeline. Cleve Jones, a pioneer activist and creator of the AIDS Memorial Quilt, said Obama delivered a brilliant speech, but added "it lacked the answer to our most pressing question, which is when."

"He repeated his promises that he's made to us before, but he did not indicate when he would accomplish these goals and we've been waiting for a while now," said Jones, national co-chair of a major gay-rights rally expected to draw thousands of gay and lesbian activists to the National Mall on Sunday.

Obama also called on Congress to repeal the Defense Of Marriage Act, which limits how state, local and federal bodies can recognize partnerships and determine benefits. He also called for a law to extend benefits to domestic partners.

He expressed strong support for the Human Rights Campaign agenda — ending discrimination against gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people — but stopped short of laying out a detailed plan for how to get there.

"My expectation is that when you look back on these years you will look back and see a time when we put a stop against discrimination ... whether in the office or the battlefield," Obama said.

Obama's political energies are focused on managing two wars, the economic crisis and his attempt to reform the health care system.
His message Saturday was one of unity and support for a group that has funneled large amounts of money into Democratic coffers.

"I'm here with a simple message: I'm here with you in that fight," Obama said.
Obama also addressed those who do not favor advancing gay rights. A recent Pew Research Center poll asked about homosexual behavior, and about half said it is morally wrong. "There's still laws to change and there's still hearts to open," Obama said.

Since Obama took office in January, some advocates have complained that Obama has not followed through on promises on issues they hold dear and has not championed their causes from the White House, including ending the ban on gays serving openly in the military and pushing tough nondiscrimination policies.

Richard Socarides, who advised Clinton's administration on gay and lesbian policy, said Obama delivered "a strong speech in tone, although only vaguely reassuring in content."
"The president and Nobel winner came and paid his respects, but tomorrow many will ask: What's his plan, what's his timetable?"

In the past, Obama has urged the gay-rights community to trust him. In June, he pointed to some initial efforts, such as a presidential memorandum he issued that expands some federal benefits to same-sex partners.

Obama publicly has previously committed himself to repealing the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that allows gays and lesbians to serve in the military as long as they don't disclose their sexual orientation or act on it. But Obama hasn't taken any concrete steps urging Congress to rescind the policy, and his national security adviser last weekend would only say that Obama will focus on overturning it "at the right time."

Obama also pledged during the campaign to work for repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act. But lawyers in his administration defended the law in a court brief. White House aides said they were only doing their jobs to back a law that was already on the books.

The gay community is somewhat split as to whether Obama should be expected to produce results right away.

The Human Rights Campaign, which invited Obama to speak at its dinner Saturday night, holds out hope of seeing more action.

"We have never had a stronger ally in the White House. Never," Joe Solmonese, the group's president, said at the dinner before Obama spoke. In an interview, he said the Obama administration has been working with the group on a range of issues "on an almost weekly and sometimes daily basis."

Obama noted new hate-crimes legislation, which would make it a federal crime to assault people because of their sexual orientation. Approved by the House this week, Obama predicted it would pass the Senate and promised to sign it into law.

"Wolverine" Slashes Out of a Performance Because of Cellphone Offender.

Actor Hugh Jackmon, aka Wolverine from X-Men, had to put a slashing halt during a preview performance of A Steady Rain because of a cellphone going off during his performance. Hugh got fed up with the person, after asking them politely to either get it, or "turn it off." The interruption "occurred during an intense moment in the play, when Jackman's character, a Chicago policeman, reveals haunting memories", according to the article.

From the article, about the play, "'A Steady Rain,' a taut drama about the relationship between two policemen, opens Tuesday for a limited engagement through Dec. 6. The play by Keith Huff already has proven to be a potent box-office winner, playing to capacity audiences since it began previews on Sept. 10." The play also stars Daniel Craig, the recent James Bond portrayer. This is Craig's theatrical debut as he costars with Hugh.

You know that little part before a movie, in which the actor gets out of character, while the viewer's cellphone rings, very loudly and obnoxiously? Well, this is a good reason to turn the phone off during the show. Well, I give it 2 claws up! Way to go Hugh!

“Goodbye to You”

So confused thou art
Thou was untrue from the start
With a phony reason from thy heart
‘Twas me thou pushed away
Nothing harsh to you did I say
Thou hast misperceived me to this day
A chance thou never gave
So your puny words please save
Your friendship I no longer crave.
Honest, sweet, and kind was I to you
I thought thou were nice to talk to
Wrong I was, never were you true.
‘Tis my fault; I trust too much
Pain do I receive as such
My heart you have left in a crutch.
An opportunity you did not take
To see the kind of friend I could make
But you could not see past my mistake.
My words and antics, only to explain,
But thou hast given so much pain,
Some of which I still retain.
Even though our “friendship” is no more,
Do not assume the worst me anymore,
Because you are still unhappy and sore
For one who wishes me away
Still so much you have to say
One wonders, Are you over me this day?
Whether the answer is yay or nay,
Please heed the words I relay
Over I have been, please stay away.
If thou see me, utter not a word
For it will sound silly and absurd
Good bye to you, my final word.
