"Gay Atheist Valentine to The People of The Religious Right" would better describe this video. If I don't get burned at the stake in Hoboken by the politicians, I'll probably be crucified somewhere by either a mob of fanatical hate-filled fundamental Christians and/or a band of hate-filled militant atheists. I would really appreciate someone posting a translation of the lyrics of this beautiful song as a comment and/or email them to me & I will add them to this description. Peace & love to all of you.
I really got turned off to local Hoboken politics years ago. I almost didn't vote for the first time in 33 years this time because I really didn't know the candidates or issues that well. Coming out of the Path Underground Train Station, I noticed some pretty young white girls looking awfully bored as they held signs & passed out literature. They looked more like H.S. cheerleaders than political activists. Elsewhere I saw others, both young & old, excitedly promoting their candidates. On impulse, I ran home, grabbed the camera & went out to ask some leafleters why they were involved. The bored cheer leaders had gone home but there were a variety of other people to interview. I want to thank each & every person in this video for simply being who they were--including the man who threatened to sue me. There will probably be a run off. I'm more interested now & hope to make my mind up on my own after a little more research this time.

Anime videos & munga books are the latest Japanese infusion into American mass culture. Americans invented the automobile. Then the Japanese produced the better car. Disney created anime.

Expedia says: "Ai had the dream of becoming a singer since she was little. The dream was made by her and her mother together. Her mother was her only family since she had lost her father when she was just a child. However, Ai's mother died before she became a famous singer. Now she is singing not only for her mother, who has died, but also for people who listen to her song, wishing world peace. She has helped establish schools in poor countries. Before she became a famous singer, she established a goal--to perform 1000 times on the street--and accomplished it after she became a great singer. Her voice is called "angel's voice". At first, there were only a few people listening to her song on the street, however, gradually she attracted a lot of people. Ultimately, her last street performance in Shibuya attracted a great number of people. At some point she and "Nao" formed the duo I WiSH and had a decent level of success, but the band was dissolved in 2005 so that Ai and Nao could concentrate on solo projects. Some of Ai's songs have been used as theme songs for anime and videogames. Zetsubou to Kibou (絶æÂÂã¨帠?) is the theme song of Shining Force Neo; "Compass" was is the theme song of the eighth One Piece movie Episode of Alabasta: The Desert Princess and the Pirates, and "Kimi No Koe" is the ending theme song of The Place Promised in our Early Days. One of her newest songs, "Door Crawl", is the theme song of Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon."
WingedReaper713 has found "success" through dressing up and promoting a goth site called Vampire Freaks. He was the sole attendee (one out of thousands) strolling through the aisles of Gay Expo at the Javits Center in NYC sporting a heavy goth look.

This is a serious video in which I explain why I feel so alienated from most people my own age. It happened to be part of a talk I gave to a group of gay, lesbian, bisexual & transgender youth in a church in Jersey City, NJ on 3/12/09. I hope it will provoke a serious discussion about being transaged---AND what it is that causes most "truly old" people to become so isolated & miserable. Temporarily, I've avoided that. As long as I remain "transaged", I believe I will continue to avoid the terrible ravages of being "truly old". What do you think? I'd really like to know !
