Proud by Michael Healey
“Funny and foul-mouthed, yet surprisingly sweet.” Globe & Mail
“Dazzlingly witty, surgically precise and scathingly satirical.” Toronto Star
Award-winning playwright Michael Healey (The Drawer Boy) takes on his biggest subject yet: The Right Honourable Stephen Harper. His sexy, cheeky and surprising play will have you rolling in the aisles – regardless of your politics. You may even find yourself liking the man! Proud imagines a different outcome to the last Federal election – the Tories took Quebec and won a huge majority. A young, attractive and very inexperienced MP provides the Prime Minister with a new tool in his arsenal. Unfortunately for him – she may be the smartest man in the room!
Selfportrait.
Questa volta, la prima, dedico questa foto a me stessa; dopo una lunga assenza.
E' una sorta di incoraggiamento, un modo per spronarsi e cercare di guardare avanti, di rialzarsi sempre col sorriso nonostante le avversità sempre dietro l'angolo.
Voglio sentirmi contenta di me stessa, almeno un po'.
"E guardo fuori dalla finestra e vedo quel muro solito che tu sai.
Sigaretta o penna nella mia destra, simboli frivoli che non hai amato mai;
quello che ho addosso non ti è mai piaciuto, racconto e dico e ti sembro muto,
fumare e scrivere ti suona strano, meglio le mani di un artigiano
e cancellarmi è tutto quel che fai;
ma io sono fiero del mio sognare, di questo eterno mio incespicare
e rido in faccia a quello che cerchi e che mai avrai!
Non sai che ci vuole scienza, ci vuol costanza, ad invecchiare senza maturità,
ma maturo o meno io ne ho abbastanza della complessa tua semplicità.
Ma poi chi ha detto che tu abbia ragione, coi tuoi "also sprach" di maturazione
o è un' illusione pronta per l'uso da eterna vittima di un sopruso,
abuso d' un mondo chiuso e fatalità;
ognuno vada dove vuole andare, ognuno invecchi come gli pare,
ma non raccontare a me che cos'è la libertà!
La libertà delle tue pozioni, di yoga, di erbe, psiche e di omeopatia,
di manuali contro le frustrazioni, le inibizioni che provavi quì a casa mia,
la noia data da uno non pratico, che non ha il polso di un matematico,
che coi motori non ci sa fare e che non sa neanche guidare,
un tipo perso dietro le nuvole e la poesia,
ma ora scommetto che vorrai provare quel che con me non volevi fare:
fare l' amore, tirare tardi o la fantasia!
La fantasia può portare male se non si conosce bene come domarla,
ma costa poco, val quel che vale, e nessuno ti può più impedire di adoperarla;
io, se Dio vuole, non son tuo padre, non ho nemmeno le palle quadre,
tu hai la fantasia delle idee contorte, vai con la mente e le gambe corte,
poi avrai sempre il momento giusto per sistemarla:
le vie del mondo ti sono aperte, tanto hai le spalle sempre coperte
ed avrai sempre le scuse buone per rifiutarla!
Per rifiutare sei stata un genio, sprecando il tempo a rifiutare me,
ma non c'è un alibi, non c'è un rimedio, se guardo bene no, non c'è un perchè;
nata di marzo, nata balzana, casta che sogna d' esser puttana,
quando sei dentro vuoi esser fuori cercando sempre i passati amori
ed hai annullato tutti fuori che te,
ma io qui ti inchiodo a quei tuoi pensieri, quei quattro stracci in cui hai buttato l' ieri,
persa a cercar per sempre quello che non c'è,
io qui ti inchiodo a quei tuoi pensieri, quei quattro stracci in cui hai buttato l' ieri
persa a cercar per sempre quello che non c'è,
io qui ti inchiodo a quei tuoi pensieri, quei quattro stracci in cui hai buttato l' ieri
persa a cercar per sempre quello che non c'è..."
Francesco Guccini - Quattro stracci
The Sherwood Forest Faire is a smallish Renaissance Festival about 40 miles SE of Austin. Despite its size, it is a great event - excellent entertainment and a lot of cool people to shoot. These photos are from the last weekend of the 2014 season - it was a great day for the performers and visitors but very bad for photographers - very sunny; lots of harsh shadows and dappled lighting. Despite that, it was a great day - and I can't wait for the 2015 season!

My newest little niece and her father pose for the camera at the hospital. She's just 15 hours old here. I'm quite fond of this shot, personally.
This little girl's popo (grandmother) seemed pretty proud of her. She tried to get her to smile, to say "hello" and "nihao", but the little girl wasn't budging. Thankfully, she did let me take her picture. Ditan Park, March 23, 2007.
I am assuming that this is the grandfather - he is obviously very proud of the little boy and was eager for me to take his photograph.
In the background, food is being prepared for the wedding celebrations that are just starting in the building across the road.

Located 265 km north of Adelaide, Melrose proudly declares itself the 'oldest town in the Flinders Ranges'. This building was originally constructed as a flour mill in 1878. It was sold in 1893 by T.B. Marshall to Jacka Bros who converted the interior to accommodate their successful brewing enterprise. There were 40 employees and 4 delivery teams on the road in the early 1900's. The brewery closed in 1934 during the economic depression
