See-Through Heart: Requiem for the Real Icons
http://davidleibowitz.blogspot.com/2009/07/requiem-for-real-icons.html
Thursday, July 30, 2009. Requiem for the Real Icons. Put another way, our world contains a finite amount of newsprint and ink, airtime and attention. Every moment spent exalting one human being – and that’s all any icon ever is, just one man –. Is a moment society will never be able to spend on anyone else. A week into the Michael Jackson death watch, when I felt bereft of news, I developed a new routine, one I hope to keep alive long after the special editions of People. The irony from where I sit?

See-Through Heart: A True Believer Among Us ....
http://davidleibowitz.blogspot.com/2008/09/true-believer-among-us.html
Tuesday, September 9, 2008. A True Believer Among Us . It never ceases to amaze me, in this Age of Apathy, how some folks have managed to retain their passion for politics. Me, I think of election cycles as a game, a farce cast full of clowns on both sides. I know that sounds cynical, but I've spent too much time around politicians and I've heard too much bullshit rhetoric and pandering to be swept away by anyone's. Like my pal Juliana. That's when I made my near-fatal mistake. I compared Obama. You can ...

See-Through Heart: A Daddy Yankee Folo Tale ...
http://davidleibowitz.blogspot.com/2008/08/daddy-yankee-folo-tale.html
Thursday, August 28, 2008. A Daddy Yankee Folo Tale . Could it be that Daddy Yankee got dissed by Obama before he endorsed John McCain? Can't believe someone hasn't already popped a cap in someone's ass, yo. As Politico.com blogger Ben Smith reports. Dem: Obama rebuffed Daddy Yankee. There's some amusement today about John McCain's endorsement by the Puerto Rican performer Daddy Yankee, who has an assault charge. And some some seriously racy lyrics.

See-Through Heart: Twisdom for Saturday, April 25, 2009
http://davidleibowitz.blogspot.com/2009/04/twisdom-for-saturday-april-25-2009.html
Sunday, April 26, 2009. Twisdom for Saturday, April 25, 2009. I've been having a lot of fun with Twitter lately. When you're restricted to 140 characters and you feel compelled to be interesting, well, that's a real writing challenge. Here's a day's worth of tweets:. Once upon a time, I used to be awake at 5:20 on a Saturday morning and I'd think, "Need to go home soon." Now I'm just watching dawn come. #. The iTunes Genius feature is . sheer genius. #. I'm a believer in doing the right thing. Now if...

See-Through Heart: Vacation Twisdom, May 4, 2009 (Special Florida Edition)
http://davidleibowitz.blogspot.com/2009/05/vacation-twisdom-may-4-2009-special.html
Tuesday, May 5, 2009. Vacation Twisdom, May 4, 2009 (Special Florida Edition). Notes from the beach and other South Florida locales . Is it sad that I wake up and immediately grab my iPhone for an email/social media inventory . while on vacation? Look at it this way: There's only one Monday morning each week. And it'll be over soon. #. If an awesome meal generates "food porn," then this beachside cafe breakfast is a "food snuff film." Ocean's gorgeous though. #. Peace out, folks. Me In A Graf or Two.

http://davidleibowitz.blogspot.com/2008/09/better-dead-than-well-read.html
Friday, September 19, 2008. Better Dead Than Well Read . I've always been a freak for lists. When I was a kid, you couldn't pry the Book of Lists out of my hand. Now I'm always up to compare my endless opinions against someone else's. So the English geek in me was sort of entranced by this story from the. 10 Books Not To Read Before You Die. The producer of at least three television shows that you may quite like shares with us his definitive list of books that just aren't worth the bother. The best way t...

Thursday, April 30, 2009. Twisdom for Wednesday, April 29th (Special Swine Flu Edition! Sorry if this seems a bit random. I may have swine flu. Or I just a ate a chef's salad with extra ham that disagreed with me. Sometimes it feels like we've measured creativity into impossibility. #. I really need to work on this "having a life" thing I keep hearing about. Woke at 5 with storyboard ideas in my head. Now at my desk. #. I can see co-workers! And they seem good looking. #. Maybe Twitter is just hype?

See-Through Heart: Pretty @#^%$#@ing Cool ...
http://davidleibowitz.blogspot.com/2009/05/pretty-ing-cool.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2009. Pretty @# %$#@ing Cool . I've been darn lucky to win a bunch of journalism awards over the past 15 years and last week I got one more, from the Arizona Press Club. Frankly, I got excited about this one, because these days writing columns is more a hobby and less a job. I don't do it for the money, but more to have the feeling of people reading it. Anyway, a bunch of folks have asked me which column won. Here it is, from the December 2008 Scottsdale Times:. I'll spare you the fine...
