Heart of the City by Steenz for February 26, 2012

Actually, it’s Arthur O’Shaughnessy.

What the mind can conceive, the mind can achieve. Don’t ever stop chasing your dreams.

Willy Wonka neglected to cite his source: the poet Arthur O’Shaughnessy.

…sweet dreams…

“A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you’re fast asleep…”

“When you wish upon a star as deamers do.”

-Jiminy Cricket (Pinocchio)

“Did you know, in ancient Rome a gladiator, an undertaker and an actor/actress were at the very bottom of the social ladder — the absolute dregs of society.”

Yes, and as a corollary the performing arts have always provided a haven for misfits and outcasts: homosexuals, Jews, communists, other weirdos and dreamers and freethinkers who keep life rich and interesting. And they tend to be better-looking on the whole than the rest of us.

The influence they enjoy is the influence we gave them, because “we like to watch.”

Is it me or are the Oscars earlier now? They used to be in late March.

Oscars??? What Oscars? Who cares!! Now days they go to druggies, alcoholics, perverts…etc.,etc.

Poem by Arthur O’Shaughnessy

We are the music makers,And we are the dreamers of dreams,Wandering by lone sea-breakers,And sitting by desolate streams;—World-losers and world-forsakers,On whom the pale moon gleams:Yet we are the movers and shakersOf the world for ever, it seems.

“We are such stuff as dreams are made on.” – Puck

Heart loves the Academy Awards.

And yet Nero chose to perform regularly. That’s like the U.S. President scrubbing toilets every week.

I find awards shows boring. All of the other networks show re-runs on Oscar night. I guess I’ll have to go to bed early and wake up refreshed for work tomorrow.

Wanted to say I am so sorry for your loss of Tudaze. Sendingconfort.

Dream big, Heart!

Yay! Streep won!

I didn’t have any other strong rooting interests this year (either pro or con), but I’m happy “The Artist” won big. (Actually I lost a $5 bet, because I expected that “The Help” would win Best Picture.)

I love Willy Wonka!

rerun I think
