DREAMS ...

Dreams are the songs, the music of life. When they are lost they are like smoke dissipating in the wind.

This weekend I witnessed two peoples lives smoldering in lost hope; their dreams gone. It was so sad.

One so old, one so young. Each made impulsive decisions which have changed the course of the rest of their lives. An old life -- a new life, without dreams...their dance has lost its rhythm.

JIMMY SAYS..."I am a gay American"

James McGreevey Steps Down from Office... James McGreevey had an Adulterous Affair with a Man ... James McGreevey Resigns as Governor.

What really bothers me is what James McGreevey isn't saying!!! What prompted Jimmy to publicly resign from office? The recent scandals surrounding his appointees and supporters??? -- bet that's part of it. The $110,000 state job bestowed on his unqualified lover,??? also into the mix,... And of course, the alleged threat of an impending lawsuit by his former paramour if Jimmy didn't come across with a hefty amount of 'make it go away' money -- probably the final straw! What else??? Stay tuned, sure there's more to follow...

Jim Boy - where did you go wrong??? Humble beginnings in Jersey City, excellent education - Columbia, Georgetown and Harvard. Strong political ambition and success - Prosecutor, Mayor of Woodbridge, State Governor. A loving, supportive family, a new marriage, a new child -- you had it all, or so it seemed. Too bad our righteous culture finds such pleasure in keeping gays closeted living a 'don't ask, don't tell' existence. Sexual preference shouldn't be hidden, nor should it be flaunted, but should co-exist equally within the guidelines and laws of our society as an acknowleged diversity of human nature.

Nothing McGreevey's done, hasn't been done before, both in the straight and gay communities. Graft and corruption abound in political circles. Clinton bestowed a $15,000 job upon Gennifer Flowers, just as many other politicians have done unfairly awarding jobs, projects, etc.,to favored friends, lovers and business associates. Gay and straight priests have doled out parish employment to their significant others as well. But it doesn't make it right, or acceptable or honest.

Jimmy if only you'd come out of the closet - neat and clean without all the baggage of disgrace, dirty laundry and shame. You could have been an icon for the gay community and New Jersey. The Garden State would have been proud to have the first, honest and above-board gay Governor.

Jimmy: You don't understand. You coulda had class. You coulda been a contender. You coulda been somebody -- instead of a ...

THE 4400

USA NETWORK has a WINNER!!! The 4400 an interesting twist on an old concept -- alien abduction ???-- maybe so, or maybe there's another explanation for return of the missing 4400. Some have vanished over 50 years and none have aged a day. There's a mysterious pregnancy thrown into the pot (visions of 'V' the series), but although the storyline and plot development have been touch upon before, the freshness of this series is in its presentation and diversity of interesting and intriging characters and subplots.

Especially gratifying is the fact that this is a limited series, so it won't lose it's edge and appeal over endless seasons. Here is another cult show in the making that leaves 'em wanting more.

The 4400 -- catch it from the beginning!
