Beyond the mountains are mountains.
Came across a Haitian saying today: Beyond the mountains are mountains. This refers to problems or opportunities. There's no time to rest or at least not forever.
I'm proud to announce we're taking part in a Benefit for Haiti in Cambridge, MA next Wed, Feb 3 to be held at the Middle East Downstairs. :)
This is going to be a stellar bill with The Lights Out, You Can Be A Wesley and DJs Michael V, Damien Paul and Casey Rankin.
Oh, and this guy, Paul Shirley, is a great big schmuck. Surprise, another athlete as idiot. Check it:
Before the reader reaches for his or her blood pressure medication, he should allow me to explain. I don’t mean in any way that the Haitians deserved their collective fate. And I understand that it is difficult to plan for the aftermath of an earthquake. However, it is not outside the realm of imagination to think that the citizens of a country might be able to: A) avoid putting themselves into a situation that might result in such catastrophic loss of life. And B) provide for their own aid, in the event of such a catastrophe.
Get it right. The people had nothing to do with how a corrupt government spends the money. The government should be held accountable, not the citizens blamed. Did we blame the folks in New Orleans for the disaster caused by Katrina? No. Those in charge should be held accountable.
In other things that get my goat... Seems to me there's been little coverage on this stuff happening in Venezuela. 5 Cable new stations shut down by the government b/c they wouldn't air Chavez's speech or campaign ads. Sure, it's against their law. But I think the reason for the protests (not all of them) is why is there this law to begin with. I've got a distant cousin out there. My dad's family moved over there after they left Cuba. My cousin, she wants to be a journalist. I kept thinking, how in the hell can you do your job? Anyway, just seemed to me I only heard it mentioned once and you've got all these protests and two students shot.
If you're in the Cambridge area next Wednesday we hope to see you at the Middle East. Next on the horizon? Back to the studio this weekend.
Cheers,
Jen
