It's come to my attention I have apparently been unfair in my commentaries'mdash;unfair in the sense that whenever I discuss women and men, I focus primarily on women. ' Of course, I've gotten a lot of compliments on my perspective from both sides, especially from women, but recently a male reader proposed I might write about the guys to create positive change. ' People are beginning to think I'm anti-man; I'm simply anti-bad men. ' I will admit one mistake: in my haste to highlight what a man should not do, I failed to describe what a gentleman looks like.
Upon entering Reeves theatre, Zach Hines waved his hands artistically in the air explaining how he wanted the lighting to look when audience members entered the theater. 'I want it to glow,' he explained to junior Meredith Payne.
'Abiding in the midst of ignorance, thinking themselves wise and learned, fools go aimlessly hither and thither, like blind led by the blind,' from Katha Upanishad Hindu treatises. Signs reading OBAMA, MOUSOLINI, HITLER flew high in the air with yells of encouragement from other protesters. 'ALL HAIL THE SAUDI KING IT'S A MOSLEM THING!' and 'OBAMA KILLS BABIES' were given a lot of attention; passersby cheered and honked their horns in approval. "
Last week UT's GLTSBA group presented the campus with a bright and lively display of drag culture with, 'A Night of Drag'. ' I thought it was one of the most successful events GLSTBA has put on in the past decade.', Dr. Gary Luter explained."
A former friend named 'Larry' fooled around with several women'mdash;some who became good friends over the course of these events'mdash;and I was caught in an ethical dilemma.' How do I help these women?' Do I tell them about their faithless boyfriend or not? 'Linda,' one of Larry's ladies, kept coming by his room and seemed to have some sort of emotional attachment to him. He always played it off and when asked said that they 'made out or whatever,' but unless he had lips of gold, I couldn't begin to understand why Linda was so hung up on him. It became evident to me they were involved. Not a problem, except that he had a girlfriend back home in Australia. I called him out on it. Especially because when his girlfriend from' down under visited, he had all his friends band together to keep her away from Linda. He juggled his Australian girlfriend and Linda, all the while fooling around with other women on the side. While she visited, he received a $400 Armani watch'mdash;clearly not the typical present one receives from an ex."
'Hello Nicole,' he said. 'Hi,' I replied, although I thought, did I tell him my name? As the conversation went on, I asked him what he taught on campus. He told me that he wasn't a professor. Reason told me he must work on another level with the university, so I asked him if he worked for UT. 'No,' he replied."
He said he came to the University to 'be around the young people.' That should've been a warning, but I felt sorry for the guy. I thought he was a harmless older man. ' "
When audience members entered the theatre, actors clad in Renaissance style clothing and colonial accents promptly greeted them. These actors and actresses stood at the entrance ceremoniously like guards and handed them their programs and the 'Nottingham Tattler,' a faux gossip column about characters in the play. This delightful treat was part of the vision that director Bob Gonzalez had for his Production of 'A New Way to Pay Old Debts,' written by Phillip Massinger."
The world is flat. Yes nice and flat. It's so obvious: when you look out at the sea there's a straight skyline, a clear indication that if you sailed too close, you would surely perish, falling off Earth's edge. ' "
We could hear an old man's raspy screams for help around the corner. I dialed 911.
