Thoughts on Transgender Day of Remembrance
2011-11-20 22:28:00 Apologies for the blog hiatus. 30 Poems in November is kicking my butt. (Donate here to raise funds for literacy education.) More original content will be posted soon. Meanwhile, I would like to share these eloquent words from Natalie at the Skepchick blog about the importance of today's Transgender Day of Remembrance. Activists estimate that over 100 transgendered people are murdered each year in hate crimes. This is in addition to the other violence, discrimination, and sensationalized misrepresentation in the media that transpeople endure on a regular basis. On a more positive note, though, Massachusetts finally passed a bill to add some protections to our civil rights law for gender identity and expression. The compromise legislation now bans discrimination in employment, education, healthcare, and housing, though they were not able to get enough votes to add public accommodations to the list. Natalie's blog post explains why trans rights should matter to everyone (boldface...

Today is the 12th Annual International Transgender Day of Remembrance
2011-01-22 06:24:00 Every year on November 20th since 1999, people around the world remember the trans people who have had their lives taken from them because of transphobic violence; because of hatred, prejudice and ignorance. Today is that day–the 12th Annual International Transgender Day of Remembrance. The Transgender Day of Remembrance was started in 1999 after the ...

A remembrance: My night with Farrah Fawcett
2009-06-26 16:43:00 I had "the poster". Like most boys in the 70's, it hung over my bed and I spent countless hours staring into those perfect eyes thinking "someday I'm going to marry Farrah Fawcett. We can live in Hollywood and be big movie stars." It didn't quite work out that way, but I did get to spend one amazing night with my dream girl and yes, it was better than expected. Nine years ago, I was in the middle of a long and very sad divorce (as if there is a happy/fun divorce). I was in Los Angeles working and became friends with super agent Jay Bernstein. Jay's self-given title was "Star Maker," because he discovered such iconic beauties like Mary...

National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day 2008 VIDEO
2008-12-06 00:14:00 A Proclamation by the President of the United States of AmericaOn National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, we mourn the more than 2,400 Americans whose lives were lost in the surprise attack on our homeland that changed the course of history. Their service and sacrifice and the service and sacrifice of all our World War II veterans will be forever honored on this day by the citizens of a free and grateful Nation.On December 7, 1941, the enemy nearly destroyed our Pacific Fleet, and the United States was forced into a long and terrible war. A generation of Americans stepped forward to fight for our country. Their message to America's enemies was clear: If you attack this country and harm our people, there is no corner of the Earth remote enough to protect you from the reach of our Nation's Armed Forces.Following the war the United States worked to make our most bitter enemies into our closest friends through the transformative power of freedom. The joys of liberty are often secured b...

Holocaust Remembrance Day
2008-05-02 18:43:00 When I lived in South Beach, Florida I stood before this sculpture crying my eyes out. In case you can't understand what the photo represents, it depicts the millions of people who had suffered and/or lost their lives during hitler's despicable nazi regime.It is difficult for me to sit here and type these words to you, as not only can't I understand how this took place while so many participated, but I myself have lost some family in this "final solution."Others of my family have escaped during this atrocious time and have been living in Israel, where they've been happy for the most part except for the fear of suicide bombings, of course. Hopefully very shortly there will be peace in the Middle East.Astonishing as it seems, there are some who still deny that the Holocaust ever happened in this world. Perhaps these links will convince them of something that should NEVER BE FORGOTTEN nor ever BE REPEATED AGAIN. Note: Some of the stories and images presented within the following li...

Remembrance: What Can I Do To Make This Happen?
2008-04-04 22:36:00 On the 40th Anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s death, a friend sent this video to me from the Barack Obama for President website. I know that we have a moral obligation to do better and be better as a people and a nation. Hope is not something that one person possesses. It is shared. In fact, hope is no good unless it is shared. Hope without vision is just a dream.So, how can a dream become reality.I would much rather be a nation where the people are filled with hope rather than cynicism. I would much rather be nation that puts more emphasis on the next generation rather than on our current one. Finally, I would much rather be a a nation of believers rather than "can't sayers" or "haters," which begs the question...What can I do to make this happen?
L'ACQUA, LA MEMORIA E I SILENZI DEL MARE / THE WATER, THE REMEMBRANCE AND T
2008-03-26 14:41:00 Una riva del mare, fatta di piccoli laghi in miniatura, come mi appariva esattamente un anno fa, a Malta il 26 marzo 2007.Passeggio sulla riva del mare mentre forte mi giunge il profumo della salsedine. Osservando questi laghi in miniatura, formatisi l dove l'onda non riuscita a recuperare completamente se stessa, mi ritorna alla mente una famosa poesia di Montale, Cigola la carrucola nel pozzo. Qui il poeta immagina che in un secchio d'acqua, tirato appunto con una carrucola di un pozzo, appaia un'immagine emergente dalla sua memoria.Quest'ultima mi sembra molto simile a questa distesa di buche. Infatti, il mio cervello non in grado di ricostruire linearmente a ritroso gli eventi accaduti. Somiglia piuttosto ad un campo di piccoli anfratti in cui, quando l'onda del tempo si ritira, rimangono intrappolati dei pezzetti di vita passata, i ricordi. Alcuni sono vicini ed facile guardarvi dentro. Per altri occorre fare un poco di strada in pi.Passeggio sulla riva del mare e ...

Remembrance of Psycho le Cemu (A Tribute)
2008-02-05 18:57:00 Okay, anyone who knows me knows that Psycho le Cemu is my favorite Japanese band of all time!! They weren’t the first I ever heard, but once I heard them, I was hooked!! I never heard or saw a band like this. They could do hardcore rocking songs complete with death vocals and screams, then go straight to JPop complete with Para Para dance moves!! And the costumes!!! Need I talk about the costumes? They basically made the band for me! They didn’t just call themselves a Visual band they WERE a Visual band! And most important of all, they were good musicians doing good music. Not to mention you’d be hard pressed to find another band that was just as….FUN as this one was. I first heard the songs “Gekiai Merry-Go-Round” and “Omoide Aruki” (I bought the two singles based on the pictures alone!) and I never looked back. I love just about every song they’ve done. Sadly though, in 2005 lead singer Daishi was arrested for alleged drug use...

Remembrance of Foods Past
2008-01-05 03:18:00 As our man Marcel so eloquently illustrated, it’s pretty much natural for most of us to be flooded with sensory memories when we inhale the aroma of some beloved or long-forgotten food–images come flooding back as quickly as a montage in a rap video. The scent of hot chocolate? Of course: that was studying for high school metriculations, 1978. The wafting aroma of eggplant parmesan? That dinner party with my wacky room mate (ah, yes, the one my friend Ed said had a revolving door in her bedroom) in 1981. The tingly, acidic rush of champagne bubbles on the nose? The first New Year’s Eve with my HH, way back when. Oh, and the next one. And also our anniversary. Oh yeah, also my birthday. And the following New Year’s. And this past one. . . . Yes, food certainly elicits memories for most of us. What’s weird about me, I’ve since discovered (among all the other things) is that the opposite is also true: memories elicit food. ...
Rosemary for Remembrance
2008-01-02 08:38:00 Rosemary has been associated with improving the memory for thousands of years. What is the truth behind this longstanding belief? Throughout history, mourners would often carry sprigs of rosemary at a funeral and toss it into the coffin before it was buried to ensure that the deceased would not be forgotten. The goddess of knowledge in Greek mythology, Minerva, is associated with rosemary. The nine Muses in Greek mythology, who play an important role in inspiration and memory, are often depicted with rosemary in their hands. The Muses' mother was Mnemosyne, the personification of memory. Sir Thomas More said about rosemary: "It is the herb sacred to remembrance and, therefore, to friendship; whence a sprig of it hath a dumb language that maketh it the chosen emblem of our funeral wakes and in our buriall grounds." In the Grete Herbal, published in 1529, the following description of rosemary is found: 'ROSEMARY. - For weyknesse of ye brayne. Against weyknesse of the brayne a...

Choose Rosemary for Remembrance
2007-12-31 15:23:00 I like rosemary. It smells clean and refreshing to me. When I lived in California I saw it used frequently as a hedge, or as an indestructible shrub around business parks. I often used it as a base for wreaths because it dried beautifully and was easy to find.Since moving to Kentucky, I keep my rosemary bushes indoors during the winter months and move them onto the deck in May (on Derby day). Because of the low winter temperatures, it's not abundant here, so I've switched to sage and other herbs for wreaths, but rosemary is still a good friend.I'm a lover of lamb and eggplant, so my fresh rosemary comes in handy. I also like to dry the stems as an aromatic for summer grilling and smoking.I mention it today because of its association as the herb of remembrance. The famous line from Shakespeare's Hamlet: "There's rosemary, that's for remembrance;", and it's inclusion as a memory enhancer in medical journals dating from the 1600s gives it a poignant significance to me on this th...

Christmas Remembrance
2007-12-26 00:00:00 A Different Christmas Poem The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light, I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight. My wife was asleep, her head on my chest, My daughter beside me, angelic in rest. Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white, Transforming the yard to a winter delight. The sparkling lights in the tree I believe, Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve. My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep, Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep. In perfect contentment, or so it would seem, So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream. The sound wasn’t loud, and it wasn’t too near, But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear. Perhaps just a cough, I didn’t quite know, Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow. My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear, And I crept to the door just to see who was near. Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night, A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight. A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty...
