It’s Tough Getting Ghosted

You're Right and I'm Right and We're All Right

I wanted to expand a bit on points I was making in another thread about the Olympics Opening Ceremony controversy. There is a bit of brilliance there that needs to be better appreciated. (I still haven't fully watched the ceremony - I didn't realize that it was my job to lay eyes on the French and watch them.) 

Apparently (and let me know if I'm wrong) the Last Supper tableaux drag show was an ongoing event in Paris - just a regular part of Parisian life. Then they decided to add the singer playing Dionysus, as a special guest, for the Olympics opening ceremony only. 

So, after the fact, show management denies it was a Last Supper show, and they are right: it wasn't. And the drag queen ensemble says it was a Last Supper show, and they are right: it was. Everyone is right, no matter what they might say. 

There's no need for anyone to coordinate talking points, no one can discredit what anyone did, and there are no conspiracies worth mentioning. No matter what anybody might say about their participation in the show, they are always right. Finding fault is as hard as nailing Jello to the wall. 

It's show-business Teflon of the finest quality - like modern-day chain mail. It's brilliant! We need more of this!

And that is why Bardin, who performs as the drag queen Paloma, felt it was meaningful and important to be part of a Paris Olympics opening ceremony that presented a multifaceted, multiethnic France with people of different ethnicities and orientations. 

“It was a really important moment for the French people and the representation of France around the world,” says Paloma, who took part in a single scene that has drawn some furious criticism — including from presidential candidate Donald Trump in the United States, who called it “a disgrace.”

The Joke is on Vance

I’m surprised Democrats are playing in this sandbox, and succeeding at it too. This used to be a MAGA-kind of thing, working with complete fictions. Democrats prefer facts, but the times, they do seem to change. 

Democrats are going to kick Republican asses hard in November! 

I like this quote:

Rick suggested Vance making love to a couch may best be viewed as what Werner Herzog has described as the "ecstatic truth" — in Herzog's words, "a kind of truth that is the enemy of the merely factual," encompassing falsehoods that "make some essence of the man visible."

Not Going To Have It

Bravado in a 10-year-old kid with his mother in the Back-to-School aisles at Target: “I’m not going back to school.”

Bomba Estéreo - Soy Yo

 

I fell, I stood up, I walked, I climbed up

Me caí, me paré, caminé, me subí

I went against the current and I also got lost
Me fui contra la corriente y también me perdí

I failed, I found myself, I lived it and I learned
Fracasé, me encontré, lo viví y aprendí

When you hit hard, the deeper the beat, yeah
Cuando te pegas fuerte más profundo es el beat, sí

I keep dancing and writing my lyrics
Sigo bailando y escribiendo mis letras

I keep singing with the doors open
Sigo cantando con las puertas abiertas

Crossing all these lands
Atravesando por todas estas tierras

And you don't have to travel so much to find the answer.
Y no hay que viajar tanto pa encontrar la respuesta

And don't worry if they don't approve you
Y no te preocupes si no te aprueban

When they criticize you, just say
Cuando te critiquen, tú solo di

It's me
Soy yo

It's me
Soy yo

It's me (I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm)
Soy yo (soy, soy, soy, soy, soy, soy, soy)

It's me (me, me, me, me, me, me, me)
Soy yo (yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo)

I keep walking and I keep laughing
Sigo caminando y sigo riendo

I do what I want and I die trying
Hago lo que quiero y muero en el intento

Nobody cares what I'm doing
A nadie le importa lo que estoy haciendo

The only thing that matters is what's inside
Lo único que importa es lo que está por dentro

I like to be in the sand
A mí me gusta estar en la arena

Bathing in the sea for no reason, no problem
Bañarme en el mar sin razón, sin problema

Sitting doing nothing
Estar sentada sin hacer nada

Looking from afar and being relaxed
Mirando de lejos y estar relajada

And don't worry if they don't approve you
Y no te preocupes si no te aprueban

When they criticize you, just say
Cuando te critiquen, tú solo di

It's me
Soy yo

It's me
Soy yo

It's me (I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm)
Soy yo (soy, soy, soy, soy, soy, soy, soy)

It's me (me, me, me, me, me, me, me)
Soy yo (yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo)

I am like this, I am like this, I am like this (relax)
Soy así, soy así, soy así (relaja)

And you don't even know me (well relax)
Y tú ni me conoces a mí (bien relaja)

I am like this, I am like this, I am like this (relax)
Soy así, soy así, soy así (relaja)

And you don't even know me (well relax)
Y tú ni me conoces a mí (bien relaja)

You know what I mean?
You know what I mean?

You know what I mean?
You know what I mean?

Yes Dad
Sí, papá

(Relax, relax well) And don't worry if they don't approve you
(Relajá, bien relajá) Y no te preocupes si no te aprueban

(Relax, relax well) When they criticize you, just say
(Relajá, bien relajá) Cuando te critiquen, tú solo di

It's me
Soy yo

It's me
Soy yo

It's me (I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm)
Soy yo (soy, soy, soy, soy, soy, soy, soy)

It's me (me, me, me, me, me, me, me)
Soy yo (yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo)

In bed
En la cama

Relax
Relajá

with my charm
Con mi encanto

In pajamas, it's me
Con pijama, soy yo

That's how I am
Así soy yo
