Edward Albee---will you marry me
file under: I should be cleaning, but I'm writing.......
I know there may be a few differences in our personalities, but we can work those bugs out. Every relationship has a glitch.
But the important tenants remain--you understand my mother, or better yet me, how I have had to endure my mother and you understand the confusion of alcohol.
I've heard it said "What is Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf about?"
.......that's not the question--its the confusion--the resulting alcohol fueled confusion and horrible beastly argument and insults--words that don't make any sense.
.......that's it--that's the issue--you're left with lasting confusion--confusion for the rest of your life.
.......unforgettable words---words that were really knives in my heart, knives in my mother's heart, knives in my grandmother's heart.
Why did he say that--why did she say that.
Did they really mean it --I have to spend the whole rest of my life asking these stupid, f>>>ing questions--why did my mother do that, why did my grandfather do that, was my grandfather a bad person, was he a good person that was misinterpreted, do I love my mother, ....or, more importantly.....is it okay to not love my mother?
life long lasting confusion I can never figure out--was it my fault--does my mother like me?
That's it ''there are no answers but i wish i could just stop thinking about it--i wish my brain would stop asking the questions and let it go.
Edward, please don't be mad now, if I have messed everything up and misinterpreted your play.....when I saw the movie I knew it was about my family....drinking and fighting.

For
years, I and other critics have argued that Al Jazeera, the newschannel
founded and funded by the government of Qatar, has earned a prominent
place in America's array of cable news outlets, thanks to their incisive
coverage of the Arab Spring revolts and war in the Middle East.

wrote: " it became clear to us that Al Jazeera was founded with the
same goals we had for Current: To give voice to those whose voices are
not typically heard; to speak truth to power; to provide independent and
diverse points of view; and to tell the important stories that no one
else is telling. Al Jazeera, like Current, believes that facts and truth
lead to a better understanding of the world around us."
Current
TV has struggled for visibility and focus since its founding in 2005,
beginning as a home for liberal-oriented documentaries and morphing into
a more left-leaning analysis and opinion channel than liberal channel
MSNBC. Hiring former MSNBC star Keith Olbermann to lead a restructuring of the channel and relaunch of his show Countdown didn't fare well -- Olbermann was eventually fired amid growing friction with executives, countersuing the company.
Al
Jazeera Director General Ahmed bin Jassim Al Thani said that the
creation of the new U.S.-based news channel and the purchase of Current
TV are historic developments in Al Jazeera's 16-year history. He said,
“For many years, we understood that we could make a positive
contribution to the news and information available in and about the
United States and what we are announcing today will help us achieve that
goal. By acquiring Current TV, Al Jazeera will significantly expand our
existing distribution footprint in the U.S., as well as increase our
newsgathering and reporting efforts in America. We look forward to
working together with our new cable and satellite partners to serve our
new audiences across the U.S. I am both exceptionally pleased and very
proud that we could take this very important step.”
