The End Is Near ... I Mean The Blogathon. Silly. And A Correction For Big Rig Dance Collective. And, Dharun Ravi.

Dear I-Wish-I-Was-Still-Eating-A-Hot-Dog-On-Memorial-Day Reader,

I am sorry, that yesterday the link to Big Rig Dance Collective's Kickstarter.com video did not work. I stand by what I said in yesterday's blog.
Well, I do get the point of their production. Maybe it's not my thing. Here is the actual video, just in case you're longing to see.



(A serious note).
In 2010, Dharun Ravi used a webcam to spy on a tryst between his roommate and another man. The roommate committed suicide shortly after that.
Here is a link to a Los Angeles Times story. It is making news because Dharun Ravi has just issued an apology (Huh? Two years later?).
Very, very sad.

I checked for some Anderson Cooper news. I wanted to see if there was any "aftermath" to his kicking a guest who had had a lot of plastic surgery off his show. I did not find any, but I did find a link to his "sexy butt" taking out the trash. Yay, I think.

This post marks the Official End of the blogathon. In the future, I'll be posting less (Not once a month, however NOT every day). I decided to do this after my friend Gloria told me about it, and also encouraged me. Thank you, to anyone who took a chance and decided to read north dallas homegirl.

The tragic end,
Alice

See Cathie Black's Book Basic Black, Big Rig Dance Collective (Huh?), And A Bikini Contest!

Dear all,

The quote I used in the blog 2 days ago, from Mark Twain, is from Cathie Black's book, Basic Black. It is "the essential guide for getting ahead at work (and in life)."
In case you missed it, the quote, from Mark Twain is:
Noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles as if she has laid an asteroid.


Bikini News (See a previous blog) : The finals of the Twin Peaks National All Star Bikini Contest are tonight at the Palladium Ballroom (1135 South Lamar) in Dallas. It started at 8 p.m. Uh... if you hurry, you can still make it.

I am a little confused about the words "All Star" in the name of the contest. Doesn't All-Star imply that contestants are some kind of Bikini Star?
How does one become a bikini all star? Do you just have to get a really great bikini?

The Big Rig Dance Collective is a group of dancers from Denton, Texas. They have a video on Kickstarter.com. Their project has been funded. I cannot for the life of me figure out the point of the production they funded on Kickstarter, "Homing Where I Roam," but that is just me.
You be the judge.

Music-related: Bob Dylan was awarded the Medal of Freedom.

I like many of his songs. Especially Positively 4th Street.
A bunch were awarded the Medal of Freedom, some living and some dead.
Dolores Huerta, who has campaigned for farm workers, also received the award.

The end. I am close to the end of the blogathon.

n.d.h.
I am going to bring the blog into the modern age.

Here is a picture I took downtown recently. It's not perfect, but that's okay. I am still including it, in honor of sharing.
