Hello

Hello blogosphere! I am a novice in the blogging world but I thought that blogging would not only be a great alternative to facebook (I've been facebook sober a mere 12 hours, so I'm in recovery), but also an effective way to organize the clusterfuck that is my brain.

Currently I am reading A Winter's Tale by none other than William Shakespeare. I thought King Lear was crazy; wow Leontes you have really outdone yourself. He makes Tanya Harding look sane. Yet, I have to give Leontes some street cred, I guess we are all inherently fearful that our partner has cheated on us with our best friend. Or are we? Whatever, all I know is Perdita weirds me out a little bit. I guess if I were abandoned by my father in an open field, then subsequently raised by a shepherd, I would be a little different too.

So I was thinking how much better life would be if Lauryn Hill was still making music. I think her feud with Clef really was one of the catalysts for her demise. But Sister Act II? Still gives me the chills (in a good way). I watch "His Eye is on the Sparrow" at least bi-weekly. What really made her retreat from the public eye? Fame? Fortune? Bob Marley's son? I guess I can't have my cake and eat it too... I still have the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill though. Funnily enough, my roommate in Spain loved Lauryn Hill and the Sound of Music as much or more than me which is shocking.
