I tend to lose a lot of things in life. I've lost friends, that was hard, it still is. I've lost rings that one might consider meaningless but I considered priceless. I've lost loves, people I thought would be in my life forever and happened to disappear from one day to the next. I've lost family, a great man who was the center of my world, who's smile brightened my day. I've lost opportunities to be great, to travel, to experience life. I've lost hope, when things have been dark and I've wanted to crawl into a little hole and never come out.
But I guess I've never lost sight of myself because despite all these things that I've lost I've found many many more. I've found friends who love me for who I am despite all the times I've messed up. I've found treasures that I will cherish for as long as they remain mine. I've found people who have become the extended family I occasionally wish I had..and occasionally wish I could punch. I've found opportunities in places I would not have expected and I've found that life is great. I'm single (don't always love that), I'm young (relatively speaking), I'm smart (or so my mother tells me), and I'm rather attractive (or so I've been led to believe.. except sometimes I'm vain and know I am.)

This Will Have Been: Art, Love, and Politics in the 1980's
For all you art lovers here in Boston I've got a treat for you.. The ICA (The Institute of Contemporary Art) presents the first major US museum retrospective devoted to the art of the 1980's.
Organized by The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, the exhibit titled "This Will Have Been: Art, Love, and Politics in the 1980's," is an ambitious presentation that represents the diverse and complex art that was produced throughout the 1980's. The 80's were considered a transformative decade in the history of art, music, and politics beginning with new regimes of world power personified in the US by President Ronald Reagan, in the UK by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and in Germany by Chancellor Helmut Kohl. They ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, and the repudiation of the Reagan-Thatcher era signaled by the elections of Bill Clinton in the US and Tony Blair in the UK.
