#Redefined
Text
At this age in my life, I'm learning that love has a different meaning all together from what I used to think it was, back in my teenage years. Love to me today is not about what you receive from the other, but what you could give to the other...

816 The One Where Joey Tells Rachel
"You don't think there's somebody better suited for Monica than me?"
"I believe in falling in love."
"But soulmates (the way you define them, Phoebe)? No."
Chandler doesn't believe in some mystical star-crossed thing like Phoebe does. He believes their personalities are compatible, that their interests match and that they complement each other. And that with work and effort, those matching, well-suited, puzzle pieces can slot together to make a whole.

Redfined
Another Part Of This Work
Warnings: Cursing. Mentions of death and killing. Non-permanent death scene by stabbing. Degrading others. Mentions of older stereotypes, mainly towards woman.
Run Down: The definition of perfection is impossible to reach. But that doesn’t mean the want to be it vanishes after realizing. It just means you have to work harder.
Ya’ll can’t escape
_______________
”Ow, ow, OW!”
”I’m sorry! Hold on, just give me a moment. Almost, there...”
Susie Campbell actually listens, albeit with an air of discomfort as hands clearly untalented with doing up hair tugs at the long blonde hair. Different from her character’s raven black locks, but Joey wanted to do everything old school. That means no color in the animations.
She doesn’t mind it, not when she’s still Alice Angel’s voice actress. Still her character.
”Sorry again for tugging on ya hair,” Henry begins, the animator pausing as he moves a handful of her locks up and down, silently judging what to do.
Susie hesitates herself as the teenager does something with her hair, seemingly tossing it on top of her head. But she leaves it alone, somewhat curious as to what he was attempting.
Don’t ask the twenty-year-old why she came to Henry of all people to help her with dressing her hair up for the day. There weren’t any other girls working in the studio, but even so, she doesn’t know if she’d go ask them for assistance.
”Do you even know what hairspray is?”
”Don’t need it.”
Don’t need it? What does-?
”DON’T GET INK IN MY HAIR!”
Henry allows a smile to escape as he simply moves with the panicked movements until he waves a hand in front of the actress’s face. Then he switches places to show her his other hand. “Washed my hands before I did anything.”
It was clear in those shoulders she didn’t quite believe him. Makes sense being that’d make the greatest prank ever...but he’ll have to pull that on Wally, actually. The teenager will never admit it, but he’s definitely protective over his fluffy locks. Dirty mop water isn’t a problem, but ink can do wonders when it comes to ruining things.
”Not a single drop in my hair?”
”Nope. Clean as a new cell.”
Why does he have to use animating for a comparison. But at least he doesn’t say anything else, going silent and completing the favor.
”And done!”
Done? Was he actually done?
Susie slowly turns her head to look at the smiling face standing behind her. She felt tired- soothed is a better word, actually. She wouldn’t be surprised if she had drifted off while her hair was done up, the feeling of gentle tugs on her scalp and fingers gathering strands was a nice feeling. It reminded her of when her mother would braid and comb her hair.
Soft words to always sit up straight, chin up, be presentable. Request help, but doing everything that’s required by herself. The little lady everyone wants.
”Come on! Ya gotta tell me if I did a good job.”
Susie huffs, pushing her self to a stand and walking over the woman’s restroom, Henry waiting patiently behind the closed door, curious himself if he really did do the favor asked of him correctly.
...it’s just like how her mom did it. Not a strand out of place, a perfect bun. Hair tight and yet not harming her skull that she’ll be scratching her head when freeing her hair after a long day.
Who knew a nobody was great at hair.
Henry begins to frown when Susie doesn’t appear after five minutes. Was she okay? Did he traumatize her? Or even an actress like her can’t act to not hurt his feel- well, she’d be brutally honest if he made her look like some kind of monster.
He hopes she’s-
The animator leaps a solid foot when a high-pitched scream suddenly erupts. He’s by the bathroom door in an instance. “Campbell, what’s wrong. Can I come in? Are you hurt?”
”My hair got RUINED!”
...did she seriously-?
Henry’s question is answered when the door is suddenly ripped open, a tearful Susie glaring up at him with a bit of makeup smudged near her eyes. Okay, so she’s really concerned about the fact his attempt at a bun looks the equivalent of a paper being ran over. Hair everywhere and the other half lazily sitting in the band making up the ‘bun’.
”Fix it!”
”I’ll fix it.”
Susie’s tears seem to clear up rather quickly at that, her steps purposeful as she goes and sits back at the couch. Henry takes out the band and starts again without another comment.
She had one of her own, though. ���I’m sorry it got messed up. You make a decent hair dresser.”
”Almost makes me think you got it ruined on purpose.”
He doesn’t know, he’s teasing her just like he does everyone else. Don’t read too much into anything someone close to the silver-tongued Joey Drew says.
”Where did you learn to fix up hair?”
”What made you come to me?”
A challenge. She asks a question, then he’s allowed to. “You first, Ross.”
”This is my first time even attempting something like this.” She could hear the smile at the beginning and nearly stood up to leave, but the smile disappeared. Besides, she can’t look like she does now. “But I wanted to help you. Give this torture a try.”
”That’s the first intelligent thing you’ve said.”
”What about you?”
How dare he-!
...oh, their deal.
”Sammy is Sammy. Wally would put a mop on my head and call it good. Shawn would happily do something absolutely ridiculous. Grant doesn’t have a wife. Let’s just say you’re the most least annoying person.
”Now tell me, Henry, why do you help me after I ruined your wonderful work?”
”It’s hair, Susie.”
Henry gently pauses when the woman seems to grow uncomfortable at that, as if he insulted her. He hadn’t meant to. “Why were you looking for someone to do your hair?”
”...it’s pleasant.”
”Really?”
”It’s how I was raised, Ross. Look presentable and when I couldn’t find the time to do it this morning before coming to work, ask for someone to help me when I didn’t have the necessary tools.”
Interesting. So ‘Alice Angel’ wasn’t just the character sent from above. She had a life on earth.
”I get to ask two questions now.”
“Shoot.”
She stares at him, at the horrified face so close she could reach out and touch it.
She could snap his neck, or she could place a hand on his chest. She could ask her questions again. Get the answer she was pleading for. Desperate for.
Thirty years can do that to a person, Henry.
”Do you think I’m beautiful, Ross?”
Even with a sword through her stomach. Even with half of her face something messed up. Even with the horrors she’s committed. Even when she’s about to become an ink blob. A voice in a well of lost souls.
”Campbell.”
Reaching forward to catch her, recognition appearing. To catch her. Save her.
”No matter what anyone says.
“Beauty on the outside doesn’t matter.”
He lunges quicker, as if he thinks she’ll melt as soon as she hits the floorboards.
”It’s about who you are as person. I know that’s not something you want to hear, but it’s the truth. My truth.
“Believe me. Your character tells us so much more than hair done up to impress someone only looking skin deep.”
He missed. The sword no longer keeping her on her feet, she tumbles onto her side.
”Find those who want to listen to a good story.”
Her second question was lost at that, not having expected an answer. She expected him to compliment her, coo over how beautiful her hair is and how it compliments her makeup, cheek bones. Flatter her.
Why did I ever ask someone like you to help me, then?
That had been her thought. That had been her question. To act snobbish and tell him he better be finished, not wanting to spend more time than she needs to.
”Why did you help me, then?”
She was excited when she first stepped into Joey Drew’s Studios. And then she met the man who held her career. She grew possessive over her position. Chin held a bit too high. Around Henry, she acted like she owned the place. Around Joey, too.
If beauty is on the inside, Henry, then why did you assist me when I’m nothing more than a slug?
“I never turn down someone when all I’ve done is glance at them. I don’t know your whole story.”
“Henry! We’ve got to go!”
He didn’t want to leave.
“HENRY!”
Go.
“I will come back.”
Susie Campbell begins to fade along with the footsteps racing away.
I know you will.

On the opposite spectrum of what I said this morning about Raven Symone.
Beyoncé. Lol I’m not a Stan and if you read my posts, you would know. However, I can’t deny how Cowboy Carter has started a discourse that really needed to be had. And opened up a real look at how black people have related to country music and cowboy culture historically. And shining a spotlight on how we’ve been unjustly shunned from the genre. Even though people can freely take from hip hop and r&b without criticism or the assumption that it’s black only. Basically if black people treated white folks in hip hop like they treat us in country, Jack Harlow, Mac Miller, MGK, and Eminem would not have careers. Just the facts.
Beyonce mentioning Tracy Chapman in her acceptance speech was what garnered respect from me. My mom loved Tracy Chapman and I grew up listening to her. Tracy is so major when it comes to black representation in folk/alternative and I guess in someways country music. Although I never considered her country, it became more apparent to me when a white country artists sampled her song Fast Car and made his own version. His version goes by the same title. Listen to both of you’re curious. Anyway clearly Beyonce is spearheading redefining what it means to be a country artist and I hope she continues to lead the way in bending other genres as well.
She really deserved that innovator award.
See I can be critical AND supportive whenever the time calls lol.

CONCIERTO CON LA LONDON CITY ORCHESTRA
Este otono fui invitado a dirigir la London City Orchestra, una fantastica orquesta, bien gerenciada, compuesta por profesionales, amateurs y estudiantes del mas alto nivel, en la temporada de su decimo aniversario. El programa fue grande y variado: 'La Valse' de Ravel, la 'Sinfonia da Requiem' de Britte, y la suite grande del 'Lago de los Cisnes' de Tchaikowsky, a la cual le agregamos el Finale del ballet para redondearla.
La LCO y yo nos conocemos desde hace algunos anos ya, conmigo visitandolos como maestro preparador de varias diferentes secciones de la orquesta, y el ocasional ensayo tutti. Pero esta fue la primera vez que ellos me confiaban un proyecto complet, desde el primer ensayo hasta el concierto final en el dia de conmemoracion del armisitico de la primera guerra mundial; dia que -habria sido imposible pronosticar- resulto tambien ser el dia de la marcha pacifica mas grande del Reino Unido en defensa de paz y pidiendo alto el fuego para el pueblo palestino. Tratando de navegar calles bloqueadas a traves de la capital en una bicicleta alquilada cuando buses, subtes y taxis no estaban disponibles, llegue media hora tarde al ensayo general.
Este proyecto fue una buena oportunidad para implementar mi enfoque 'Orquesta Redefinida'. En lo mas esencial, la fuente del enfoque es respeto y amor por el projimo. Si esto parece como algo muy mistico y no puntual, y los lectores preferirian que hable de forma mas tecnica y pragmatica, les diria que mi tecnica de direccion, de orquesta y de ensayo son simplemente manifestaciones externas de un centro que busca zambullirse dentro de la musicalidad individual, los puntos de vista, y las experiencias de vida de los musicos de la orquesta, y los ayuda a hacer a estos emerger a la superficie, canalizandolos en su ejecucion, como parte del grupo sinfonico. Contextualizar la musica, y relacionarla a nuestras propias experiencias de vida, desde lo mas exaltado a lo mas mundano -a menudo simultaneamente- es clave.
El director aqui es muy literalmente, un primus inter pares; no mas un despota, o al menos, la figura arquetipica de poder de antano. Una buena parte del poder que puede decirse se percibe que tiene el director, emana, en este enfoque, del darselo a los musicos de la orquesta; en crear avenidas para la expresion de los individuos, en concierto con quienes la/lo rodean: una especie de anti-poder, mas como un modus operandi Zen:. 'Mi autoridad emana de vosotros y ella cesa ante vuestra presencia soberana'.
Naturalmente, tengo una vision artistica clara, firme, y lo mas informada al momento posible de las obras que interpretamos, y los pongo en su lugar cuando lo precisan. Los reto si tengo que hacerlo, y nunca acepto menos de lo absolutamente mejor de lo cual ellos (y cualquier orquesta) son capaces. Siempre insisto, pero con carino, amabilidad, empatia, humor, tomando el pelo a ellos o a mi, o cualqier otro medio que me surja en el momento. Pero el camino mas colaborativo y menos vertical, rinde una espeice de jardin musical-humano de profunda alegria. Los musicos, muchos por primera vez, son consultados en como pienan que tal o cual pasaje o textura debe tocarse.
El concerto, mas breves palabras mias relacionando la conmemoracion, mas los eventos corrientes, fue un evento poderoso y feliz, que recibio a la gente de pie. Mas tarde, la orquesta me escribio sus pensamientos y sentimientos sobre el trabajo. Las palabras que mas emplearon fueron: gracias, amor, inspiracion, diversion, energia, pasion, alegria, iluminacion, relajamiento, amabla, dado, y dinamismo. Muchos expresaron cuanto habian aprendido. A ellos, y por la oportunidad de compartirtodo esto con ellos y el publico, estoy profundamente agradecido.

obvs it's just racist but the "palestinians looting U.N. warehouses" angle seems esp asinine to me. like. it's theirs. right? israelis don't need food aid, so who is it for? so it's theirs. the aid for palestinians. palestinian aid. how can they "steal" something that's meant for them
#like keeping locked stockpiles of food when people are starving nearby is inhumane regardless#and i fully support “looting” under all circumstances#but it just seems like a massive reach. you have to redefine a lot of words to call it “looting”#palestine#free palestine#gaza#mine

Friday Keynote Speaker Amy Blankson, CEO of Digital Wellness Institute
The Future of Happiness: Life-hacks to Enhance Performance and Well-being with Technology. Technology—at least in theory—is improving our productivity, efficiency, and communication. Yet the proliferation of smartphones and Internet access also coincides with historically high levels of depression and life dissatisfaction. As the speed of innovation increases, researchers are turning attention to a crucial question: Will we continue to see declines in physical, emotional, and mental health due to our current use of technology, or can we use new strategies to harness technology and improve happiness and well-being? The answer is YES. In this talk, Amy Blankson shares simple, scientifically proven, and practical life hacks to increase performance and well-being in the Digital Era. And be sure to stop by Booth #902 and visit with ReadyRESALE and demo the new RR2 Document Automation application in action.
