My freinds love what I draw and so Do my teachers at school. I love drawing. I have A Drafting and Design degree and Graphic Arts degree. Why is it parents expect more of me?

i ask because a lot of people will have heard of him and will have heard his writings praised by the likes of allen ginsberg, but will wonder if books that old can still be relevant.

im not a twentsomething....but i was interested to know what devotees would say in his defence that could make blake sound interesting to know-nothing young whippersnappers!

also he's a distant relative, so ive always wondered if he was much cop... or just an over rated old windbag of a dreamer!

In Shadowplay, Clare Asquith argues that the bard (Shakespeare)was using the theater of his day just as Hamlet did -- to send dangerous, skillfully encoded messages to his audience and his monarch.

I am planning writing a novel about my adventures and my life on the web. This includes penpals, my experiences on forums and newsgroups, people I've met there and my thoughts on them... the debates on psychoanalysis I have started or/ and participated in...
What do you think? Is this a good idea? Would you like reading such a novel?

The U.S. Rev. Al Sharpton is a descendant of a slave owned by relatives of the late U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond -- a discovery the civil rights activist called "shocking" on Sunday.

Sharpton learned of his connection to Thurmond, once a prominent defender of segregation, last week through the Daily News, which asked genealogists to trace his roots.

"It was probably the most shocking thing in my life," Sharpton said at a news conference Sunday, the same day the tabloid revealed the story.

Some of Thurmond's relatives said the nexus also came as a surprise to them. Doris Strom Costner, a distant cousin who said she knew the late senator all her life, said Sunday she "never heard of such a thing."

"My momma never would talk to me about nothing like that," Costner said of ancestors who owned slaves. "She only talked to me about good things."

The revelations surfaced after Ancestry.com contacted a Daily News reporter who agreed to have his own family tree done. The intrigued reporter then turned around and asked Sharpton if he wanted to participate. Sharpton said he told the paper, "Go for it."

The genealogists, who were not paid by the newspaper, uncovered the ancestral ties using a variety of documents that included census, marriage and death records.

They found that Sharpton's great-grandfather, Coleman Sharpton, was a slave owned by Julia Thurmond, whose grandfather was Strom Thurmond's great-great-grandfather. Coleman Sharpton was later freed.

Thurmond, of South Carolina, was once considered an icon of racial segregation. During his 1948 bid for president, he promised to preserve segregation and, in 1957, he filibustered for more than 24 hours against a civil rights bill.

Sharpton, who ran for president in 2004 on a ticket of racial justice, said he met Thurmond only once in 1991 when he visited Washington, D.C., with the late soul singer James Brown, who knew Thurmond. Sharpton said the meeting was "awkward."
