…And well, there ya have it. That’s who we be.
blogs suck.
Actually, my music was on The Real World and Makin’ the Band… but it’s all the same. Some readers would be more interested in one of my current projects: The Dreams of Sparrows is a documentary about reconstruction-era Iraq, made in collaboration between Iraqi directors and American producers.
yet rips, you’re apparently reading ours.
apparently.
but that doesnt make them suck any less.
Wow. There’s some important folk here … I am in AWE.
thanks amanda… i’m sure you were talking about me. 🙂
eh actually, my days as a student at YU ended some time ago.
Sorry. I had to do it. Just had to.
Damn strong team! Read thru some of the entries and totally digged em. Keep up the stuff, bueno achusharmuta!
Ok, but who is Mobius?
With more fear and trepidation than sorrow and tears let me go on record as stating that I am a new guy on the block and wish you good folks would take note of my site: http://www.IsraelPundit.blogspot.com.
I also have another but it is for the lust-ridden, over 25, curious, playful, curious and not for those devoted to spiriutal quests and mystical experiences (at http://www.Goodshit.phlap.net) at which joint, you will find nice ladies and oddball links of all sorts for art, photography, lit, science and whatever…
If Mobious is a strip, this site is a strip tease…but the Jewish site should be kept within sight.
