Re: Share songs and music videos that move you emotionally

Combining one of my favorite movies with one of my favorite musicals, here is "Defying Gravity", from the musical Wicked, with graphics from Serenity.

Re: Marriage

Thanks to you all.

I haven't really read a lot of e.e. cummings, but I think that I will be in the future.

Re: Reading for pleasure! What are you reading now?

The Commoner - John Burnham Schwartz The book has a nice slow start, but I'm hoping it will ramp up and get going.

Re: what is your favorite musical?

On Broadway, I saw Rent and Titanic. Rent rocked. Titanic, well, sunk. Off Broadway, I've seen Rent, Les Miserables, Titanic, and Wicked. Of all of them, Wicked has been my favorite with Rent following in a close second. On another note, has anyone seen Avenue Q? It combines muppets and live actors....

If you have some sort of confession to make, or secret to get off your chest because it will ease your mind and give comfort to you, but will hurt the person you are confessing to, I think you need to step back and examine your motives. No, the human mind was never designed ...

Another, darker, side of escapism may be the endless ultra-violent pictures being made today. A way to vicariously vent subconscious rage and angst? I think that this is completely the case. Hedges purports that wrestling reflects the rage and the struggle of the people on a large scale. I think th...
