I first laid eyes on June Carter when I was 18, on a Dyess High School senior class trip to the Grand Ole Opry. I’d liked what I heard of her on the radio, and I really liked what I saw of her from the balcony at the Ryman Auditorium. She was great. She was gorgeous. She was a star. I was smitten, seriously so. The next time I saw her was 6 years later, again at the Opry, but this time backstage because by then I was a performer too. I walked over to her and came right out with it: “You and I are going to get married someday.” June is formidable; she’s my solid rock. She’s my spark plug. When there are people to talk to and my shyness is welling up, she holds my hand. June always sees that I’ve got the right thing to eat, if I’ll agree to eat it. She likes the same kind of movies I do, and the same kind of TV shows. She’s got charm, she’s got brains, she’s got style, she’s got class. She’s silver, she’s gold, she’s got jewelry, she’s got furniture, she’s got china….she’s got a black belt in shopping. She’s a vital performer, and it’s vital for me to have her on my concerts. I just don’t want to travel if she can’t come with me. She almost always does. She’s my life’s companion, and she’s a sweet companion. She and I have become so very close, so intimate. Whenever I face a professional decision, I always put it to her because I know she’ll be both objective and honest. She’s never judgmental. She’s become everything that wife should be, in my mind. We sleep together, we pray together, we travel together, we work together, and we’ve both found our particular place where we totally belong in every avenue of endeavor. —Johnny Cash, From “Cash: The Autobiography”

May 1st
What May means to me. May 19th is my older sister’s 28th birthday which will lead into the next birthday of the family…. me. June 10th and I’ll be 26. Then after that, on June 23rd my oldest sister will turn 32.
Now, 5 years ago I would have been PUMPED for this time of year, but now, as I get older I am less excited. It’s not necessarily because of the “getting older” aspect but because I feel as we age things get less exciting.
I feel like I’ve been talking a to a bunch of friends lately, around my age, and we’re all going through this sort of mid to late twenties ennui. Not unhappy but not super happy. Not broke but definitely not settled. Not starting out in our careers but not at our dream jobs. And worst of all, that early twenties excitement has faded away.
So no we have to find the “next thing” and find new ways to “inspire” ourselves. Which, frankly, is exhausting and sometimes I’d rather just lay in bed all day and watch reruns of the Kardashians while eating a lot of macaroni and cheese.
So I guess we just get through it? Keep going! Soldier on! Ughhhhhh……

According to statistics from the Writers Guild of America, women have never exceeded 28 percent of working writers, and according to statistics from the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film, the representation of women writers in television has actually dropped from 35 percent in the 2006-2007 season to 15 percent in 2010-2011. Also according to the WGA, writers of color have faced the most relentless bias of all: They’ve never been more than 10 percent of the working writers in the TV industry.

Birth Control Advocacy of the Day: In a direct attack on the GOP’s War on Women, a new project called “Sluts Across America” has been launched to highlight the absurdity of judging those who use birth control “for totally valid, responsible, and mature reasons”; show that supporters of reproductive rights exist everywhere; and re-appropriate and take ownership of the derogatory term “slut.”
The site involves a simple interface that asks users to input their location and a reason for supporting access to birth control. It then displays the users’ statements and locations anonymously, under the heading “I’m a slut because…”
Here goes: “I’m a slut because caring for kids whilst writing The Daily What would be disastrous.”
