Musharraf Blames Bhutto for Her Assassination
We know you did it. Although (If I might blow my own horn) this blog was the first to definitively argue that the government was behind the assassination: Pakistan’s President lays responsibility for the murder of Benazir Bhutto on the former prime minister’s shoulders in a television interview, Sky News reported. Pervez Musharraf said Bhutto p...

President Musharraf on 60 Minutes - Highlights
I was able to catch excerpts of a very interesting interview with President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan on 60 Minutes . It was his first one-on-one interview since the assassination of his political rival, Benazir Bhutto. The interviewer - Lara Logan - had some good, and tough questions; however, I felt it was very awkward when she asked Musharraf...

Ticket Stubs: Jennifer Lopez, Avril Lavigne, Hives, The National
Posted by MTV News, New York,NY, at 5:00 pm EST on Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

In today’s online concert reports, we find parents-to-be, a sk8er grrrl, dance-punk Swedes and self-deprecating indie-rockers.

- Keri saw soon-to-be-parents Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Monday. She definitely took note of Lopez’s extra-flowy costumes and restrained dance moves, but “J.Lo delivered her usual great performance.” (Keri’s Life)

- Just after Avril Lavigne took home the Best International Singer prize at MTV Russia’s VMAs, Yana went to see the “Complicated” singer onstage in Moscow. “There’s no need to mention the crowd bursting at the sight of Avril, screaming and shouting,” the superfan observed. (Toris Notes)

- The Hives hit Webster Hall for their first NYC-area show in three years, and Brooklyn Vegan’s Dominic Masi Jr. was there for all the dance-rock action. “The set was only an hour and fifteen minutes long, but I didn’t leave unfulfilled,” Masi wrote. (Brooklyn Vegan)

- Frank went back for seconds of the National after seeing them just four months prior at Toronto’s Phoenix Concert Theatre, and he wasn’t disappointed. “This show wasn’t terribly different from last time, which is fine — that show was fantastic, and so was this,” Frank enthused. (ChromeWaves)

Here's the article that got me the special mention:

Setting Up My Blog

January 1, 2007

Happy New Year!

As I think about what I would like to achieve in 2007, one thing that continues to ring true for me is : be ye passionate and also consistent. I am motivated by what I feel passionate about....the high energy levels and intense focus associated with passion result in states of extreme productivity for me. However, this is often short-term, as when the initial blitzes of energy fade, there is nothing left to facilitate forward momentum. Passion alone cannot be my sole basis for achievement and so I have added be ye "also consistent". Alongside passion, I must also put in place mechanisms to support follow through.

What am I passionate about? Writing. I had early career goals of pursuing creative writing or journalism. During college I took several philosophy, and literature courses, and did a couple-article stint at the college newspaper. It was during this time that I realized how much I enjoyed expressing myself through written communication. After college, I continued to write on and off for various church bulletins in the US and Jamaica and distinguished myself in my management consultant career as someone with strong editorial talent. So, yes, I am passionate about writing, but I have never committed to it in any consistent manner. Well, it is Jan 1 2007 and since passion now must be accompanied by consistency...my search is on for the appropriate support mechanism(s) for writing.

Enter...My New Blog! (At some point this narrative had to connect to the title Setting Up My Blog) I realized that by setting up and maintaining a blog I would simultaneously tap into passion and consistency. Passion, by having an outlet for written creativity, and consistency, by having to satisfy my many readers (hint!! plug for my blog!) with interesting and fresh items to read. Let the blogging begin...happy reading!!

Cheers to a passionate and consistent 2007!
