A VERY PROBLEMATIC MERGER: TICKET MASTER+LIVE NATION
From NPR:
"Morning Edition, February 12, 2009 - On Tuesday, the world's largest ticket broker announced plans to merge with the nation's largest concert promoter. On Wednesday, several prominent lawmakers spoke out against the deal between Ticketmaster and Live Nation, which they say would be bad for consumers. Shortly after that press conference, the Department of Justice announced it's investigating the proposed merger" [....]
"If these two entities were to merge," Schumer said, "control of concert venues and representation of artists in those venues would be controlled by one organization, having profound and far-reaching implication for consumers, promoters and artists alike."

1 .Im an introverted-extrovert
2. I feel that spelling and grammar Nazis should find something less fucking typical to be judgmental about (that being said I will spell-check this before posting).
3. I can be moody
4. Sometimes my sarcasm is misinterpreted..and then I get all tongue tied and apologetic trying to explain myself.

8. I tend to essentialize things.

12. I want to detox..mostly b/c a pretty woman from South Africa told me I should do so.
13. I dont like feeling managed
14. I attempt to over-compensate for being hyper sensitive by presenting myself entirely tougher then I actually am.
15. If I find you to be a genius and/or really attractive I may loose my ability to speak in front of you- Im socially suave like that.
16. Life isnt linear.this realization has been a long time in the making for me.
17. I may be getting the hang of meditation
18. Photography is currently one of my favorite things to do.

21. Im dyslexic
22. Im left handed..living in a right handers world
