I had some requests for a small poem I read on the air that I thought might serve as inspiration to those graduating this spring so here it is...
The Paradoxical Commandments
by Dr. Kent M. Keith
People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

You are a lover. Romance, flowers, and wine are all you need to enjoy yourself. You are serious about all commitments and are a family person. You call your Mom every Sunday, and never forget a Birthday. Don't let your passion for romance get confused with the real thing.

You have only a couple of individuals that you consider "real friends". You teach strong family values. Keep your feet planted in them, but don't overlook a bad situation when it does happen.

I know it won't be possible for me to keep up with everything going on in the metro so I'm really counting on everyone to contribute their event to this blog. I'm hoping to get TAG on board so that we can all have a chance to see these shows!! Here is one I want to recommend..
Shelterbelt Theatre presents Friends Like These directed by Michelle Philips beginning on 4/19/2007 and running through 5/12/2007.
A new play by Shelterbelt co-founder L. Scott Blankenship, Friends Like These is a powerful and amusing look at love, honesty and friendship. In a struggle with success, two friends' fortunes switch with serious consequences.
Performances run Thursdays-Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 6 p.m. Tickets are $15/general admission, $12/students, seniors & TAG members, and groups of 10 or more. Reservations may be made by calling the box office at (402) 341-2757 or online at www.shelterbelt.org.

Hi, and welcome to the arts and entertainment blog. I want to use this blog to promote and celebrate the arts in the Omaha/Council Bluffs metro area. This is such a vibrant arts community that it deserves its own blog!! I invite you to use this as a vehicle to promote your arts related event. That include everything from music, theater and dance to the visual arts as well. I want to invite all arts events into the site. If you have a high school play or concert you can post it here. If you have a community theater show or concert or an art exhibit you can tout it here as well. I will occasionally post a personal review of a show or event I've seen. Let me start by letting you know Ralston Community Theater (with which I have had quite a bit of experience) is going to hold auditions for their summer show "Jekyll & Hyde" . Here are details:
Ralston Community Theatre is holding auditions for Jekyll and Hyde
Ralston Community Theatre will hold auditions for its summer musical, Jekyll and Hyde, Sunday & Monday, April 22 & 23, at 7 p.m., Ralston Performing Arts Centre, in Ralston High School, 90th & Park Dr. Performers age 16 and older are invited to audition for the large, multi-age cast. Bring a prepared song, an accompanist will be provided. The title role has been pre-cast.
