give me some sunscreen

I have loved this song and listen to it about once a week. I find that Baz Lurhman’s simple thoughts keep my simple thoughts aligned with what I believe. It is veryunpretentious, almost a monologue, and I encourage you to listen and watch. I love to listen to it on my ipod and lay in the grass, leaves, or snow and close my eyes to let my mind wander. It is when I do this, I feel connected to myself and the universe. I know that I can achieve what I believe.

Baz Luhrman – Sunscreen (Original)

Remember when Smith Jarred dropped his pants?

How happy the audience was with the performance?
The show was moving and creatively expressive.
It was flowing with emotion and bursting with exuberance.
I felt this way recently.
I was moved. I was inspired. I wanted to dance.

I recently attended show that was graced with American Apparel and bare skin. Sex. Identity. Kettle one. Sweat. Violence. Strength. Dancers moving to elegant sounds and screaming heartfelt emotion. There was pain and love and seeds of anger. It was fierce and touching. It was poignant and personal.
The show ‘BloodLetting and Other Things’ is choreographed by Tony Chong and performed by Dancemakers and the Centre for Creation.

To introduce their exciting 2008/2009 season, Dancemakers and the Centre for Creation, host “DanceGlass” a unique launch event and fundraiser. The event will be on November 26, 2008 beginning at 7pm The Kitchen, 1186 Queen Street West.Call 416-367-1800 or email Marie for tickets or more info. Support the arts community and contemporary dance. I know you all watch DWTS and SYTYCD. This is your chance to take part in an event that supports those type of dancers.

My friends at BizLaunch recently asked some of their entrepreneurs to complete a short questionnaire about their own business and offer small business advice to their network. I’ve included an excerpt from my interview. You can read it in its entirety by following the links to the BizLaunch blog where you will find a collection of advice and information from Canadian small business entrepreneurs.
