Well - I've got some news to report. I'm holding a party/political fundraising event at the Firehouse Lounge in Pittsburgh's Strip District on April 26th. It's for a local PAC called Run, Baby, Run that was formed to recruit and assist women in running for state office. They want to affect the way our crazy ass commonwelath is run - especially after the smarmy ass way the pay raise was enacted last year. Here are some of the candidates we will be supporting: Susan Banahasky and Lisa Bennington The suggested donation will be $10 and there will be some light entertainment and either drink tickets you can buy or an open bar. I'm more of a fan of the open bar so we'll see.
It'll start right after work and end early...so stop by, have a drink and go home.
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Lynn She just played hostess for my short vacation. I had a fantastic time and took a few crazy pictures that she needs to send to me. (hint hint).
On a little bit of a personal note - we've lost each other at times since we first met. I hope that never happens again. There are very few people that are what they advertise - and she is one of them.
Now to a few musings:
Have you ever just sat back and wondered - why?
I've been wondering that about a lot since I got back to Pittsburgh.
Why am I not always what I advertise?
Why does dating and everything involved suck so much?
Why can you never break away from the patterns that your parents wrote on your blank slate? If I am slated to live and love like my father...is it really worth it?
Why is it still fucking cold?
Why don't I sell my house...leave the East Coast and dissapear for a few years? A fresh start is reallly inviting right now.
Why do I still love SW Pennsylvania? Hopefully this fundraiser will make fighting for this area seem less futile.
Why do Broken Social Scene, Fin Fang foom, Bear Vs Shark and Minus the Bear rule so much?
Why am I such a lovesick, romantic fucking fool that trys to play life like the hardass he isn't?

Regarding your post, it at least sounds like you're doing something productinve and worthwhile. I hope to have more time to be politically active after the work situation settles down, knock on wood. And yes, I do find myself wondering "why" quite a bit these days. Especially when I'm at work.
