So you kids know where Steel City Coffee house is? Thursday nights are open mic nights right? You drink a lot of coffee, smoke a lot of cigarettes, strum a guitar, meet up with your friends.
And the art studio next door, it's really nice. Cheap art classes, but they're very, durable almost. Very enriching art-wise. AND SO CHEAP! The teachers are amazing, the art is amazing and they have a nice display.
Moving on to Wolfgang Books, the new Bookstore upstairs next to one of those Antique stores. They have free wine and coffee and chairs and typewriters to type on and a coffee table with books to look at and Allen Ginsberg's Resume.
Then you have the Colonial Theatre.
It's art too.
It's not music, it's not photography class, it's not literature, it's film.
It's acting it's avant garde films, it's classics about everything.
Its where the Orignal movie "THE BLOB" was filmed.
It's beautiful:

Recently I saw a movie there (the al gore movie) about Global Warming, it scared the shit out of me. GUYS BE RESORCEFUL.
But anyway.
I noticed that they had beautiful clean bathrooms
and a poster
that told me that
Fellini's La Dolce Vita was playing on the 20th was it?
And I got excited
adn I realized Goddard's classic "Breathless" was playing too.
And I thought "man I'd like to take a lot of my friends to see these films"
There are so manygood films every Sunday at 2PM at the Colonial Theatre.
And it's a cultural experince. It's showing the original artsy films, not LADY IN THE WATER bullshit.
So I was wondering if anyone wanted to start a HUGE group of people that would go every Sunday (or every other sunday depending on your schedule) and come see these movies with me. Not this Sunday, but next sunday is Goddard's "Breathless"

SO WHO'S GOING WITH ME?
And who's interested in going every sunday?
It's cheaper than a movie at the Regal or something like that.
It's like $6.
I'd really like to get together every sunday with my friends and see a good movie.
And we can always do lunch or coffe before or after.
Message me back if you're interested.

rachel.a.burgos@gmail.com — Fri, 02 Jun 2006 20:26:32 GMT

I just got out of the mental hospital. Rough shit I was kickin up shit but now the dirt settles down not even anydust and I'm here and i'm going to focus on the arts now.
feel free to call me or i 'll call you
(leave your number or ask for mine)
we'll set up a playdate if i wish and maybe you can come and see me or maybe i can come and see you.
but be gentle.

He's my home.

its true.

"A lot has been said about how to prevent rape.
Women should learn self-defense. Women should lock themselves in their houses after dark. Women shouldn't have long hair and women shouldn't wear short skirts. Women shouldn't leave drinks unattended. Fuck, they shouldn't dare to get drunk at all.

instead of that bullshit, how about:

if a woman is drunk, don't rape her.
if a woman is walking alone at night, don't rape her.
if a women is drugged and unconscious, don't rape her.
if a woman is wearing a short skirt, don't rape her.
if a woman is jogging in a park at 5 am, don't rape her.
if a woman looks like your ex-girlfriend you're still hung up on, don't rape her.
if a woman is asleep in her bed, don't rape her.
if a woman is asleep in your bed, don't rape her.
if a woman is doing her laundry, don't rape her.
if a woman is in a coma, don't rape her.
if a woman changes her mind in the middle of or about a particular activity, don't rape her.
if a woman has repeatedly refused a certain activity, don't rape her.

if a woman is not yet a woman, but a child, don't rape her.
if your girlfriend or wife is not in the mood, don't rape her.
if your step-daughter is watching tv, don't rape her.
if you break into a house and find a woman there, don't rape her.
if your friend thinks it's okay to rape someone, tell him it's not, and that he's not your friend.

if your "friend" tells you he raped someone, report him to the police.
if your frat-brother or another guy at the party tells you there's an unconscious woman upstairs and it's your turn, don't rape her, call the police and tell the guy he's a rapist.

tell your sons, god-sons, nephews, grandsons, sons of friends it's not okay to rape someone.

don't tell your women friends how to be safe and avoid rape.
don't imply that she could have avoided it if she'd only done/not done x.
don't imply that it's in any way her fault.
don't let silence imply agreement when someone tells you he "got some" with the drunk girl.
don't perpetuate a culture that tells you that you have no control over or responsibility for your actions."

oh yeah and if you haven't already, comment on my friends cut post before this.

Friends Cut

rachel.a.burgos@gmail.com — Fri, 05 May 2006 17:32:34 GMT

i talked to my brother last night about the molestation from our babysitter and i was relieved that he wasn't touched (or to his young young young knowlage).
now he knows why i'm a little wack-o and he wants to torch our old babysitters house down, because he still lives there and is a drugdealer.
he told me the reason he was so fucked up in 5th or 6th grade (i can't remember) was because a cat bit him and he threw it against a wall and it died. Very white trash, except brian started to cry and he made a nice grave for it and burried it near our house for memory. It really fucked him up for awhile until he got help.

HEY GUYS! How about you think about how many people you're going to hurt with one action before doing something!

MORE THAN TWO

rachel.a.burgos@gmail.com — Tue, 03 Jan 2006 21:26:32 GMT

hey look what i did to myself!

repent. i wonder what they meant?

rachel.a.burgos@gmail.com — Thu, 22 Dec 2005 01:26:09 GMT

well i had testing today for 2 hours and i hated it. i wrote a very sarcastic essay. after that i got dropped off at TOri's house and Zacccc was there and we went to Hoss' to pick up T and went and got Emmmmmma. We went to the Exton mall and I got my brother fugazi, my mom a cool shirt, and my dad some religious bullshit. I'm going to give them to them christmas eve.
In the car T started talking about the B53's "Rock Lobster" and I felt bad for a second but then it made me laugh remembering that it's such a great song. And we sang it and Zac said he hates Oingo Boingo and it was funny and Tori and I talked girltalk and decided girls are more interesting than boys. Boys are fun to makeout with.
Now I'm wondering what the fuck is up with Andrew and I haate it. Because he hasn't contacted me in 2 days and it's really bugging me since I'm going through a cutting spell again.
