I didn't know what to talk about today. The obvious is what most people have been posting about. I always find it amazing where I find some of the most wise and inspiring words, such as the above. Sometimes we forget how good that we have it. Yes, this country has some real problems. Issues that have not seemed to been resolved, as they have been problems for decades. Sometimes the real issues get covered up by the propaganda and media.
Things like Miss NightBug's mother was just diagnosed with cancer. And when I was reading her post (A Girl and Dog in the City nightbugcity.blogstream.com ) it really hurt me inside to think of such horrible news. I'm sure she would appreciate some kinds words for the ordeal that she is going through. I thought that I had something that I could tell her to make her feel better, but I couldn't. I had to use someone Else's words.
Luck favors the prepared. Although I don't believe in the concept of luck, the principle is, that being prepared, can help one understand/deal with a situation. "Trust No One" can be said too. But too much distrust and apathy can work in just the same fashion as one who is prepared at all, or too inviting.
"If U take your life 4 granted, your beating heart will go."
Enjoy all the moments that make life worth living.
"Don't let that lonely monster take control of you."
In the end, when you let the discord and blackness of mankind and life drown you, you'll never reach the surface to take your last breath. There are bad, bad things in this world, some disturbing. But one thing that you can be sure of . . . hell if I know!
"Fair 2 partly crazy, deep down we're all the same Every single 1 of us knows some kind of pain In the middle of all that's crazy, this 1 fact still remains If u love somebody, your life won't be in vain And there's always a rainbow, at the end of every rain"
In the events that have passed, I shared this song (which above lyrics are from) on Miss Lucy's post (song: Papa, album: Come, artist: Prince). There is something that we all have to remember, something very important. Two things actually. Two wrongs don't make a right. Hurting someone else, doesn't always someone Else's hurt. I wish I could have found this song in a form that I could post here. To hear the passion behind the voice of a man that himself was abused as a child makes it so sad.
"Don't abuse children, otherwise they'll turn out like me."
Spoken from someone that would know. I don't what I am trying to say. Most of these things I am just writing as they come to me. Inspired by the music in my ears.
"Still I'm lost in my shadow of pain."
And how easy that is to do. When someone is really hurt, it is all they can do to come out of the shadow of that pain/abuse/hatred. Sometimes they never can. Sometimes they do, but the shadow is following so close behind them that they can never get more than a step ahead of it. Just because they can't doesn't mean that they are not trying. Sometimes sins are just as hard to overcome as an addiction, like alcohol.
"U say u want a leader But u can't seem 2 make up your mind I think u better close it And let me guide u 2 the purple rain"
We all look to someone to help us along in life. And maybe we choose the wrong person/people. But the choice is ours, whether we want to blame it on someone else. That doesn't mean that because we were "duped" that we made a bad choice, we just made a choice. There is something out there in the world that works in the souls of man that we just can't overcome. Yes we all sin, and yes Biblically we are all sinners. But beyond that there is something that eats at our souls everyday. It hurts, and we feel it. But when we look up at the stars and realize that there is something far greater than man, we begin to realize our position. We all make choices in life and the choices that we make have their consequences. What we have to do is learn from them, pick ourselves up and continue to look up at the stars. Because they, despite the darkness that is surrounding them, they still shine.
"When the truth arrives Will u b lost on the other side? Will u still b alive?"
The truth is always there sometimes we just have close our eyes to see it. Your eyes can deceive you. But your mind and your heart can always see the truth.

All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die
All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die
And I saw an angel come down unto me
In her hand she holds the very key
Words of compassion, words of peace
And in the distance an army's marching feet (1,2,3,4 - 1,2,3,4)
But behold, we will watch them fall
And we lay down on the sand of the sea
And before us animosity will stand and decree
That we speak not of love only blasphemy
And in the distance, 6 others will curse me
But that's alright, (that's alright)
4 I will watch them fall(1,2,3,4,5,6,7)
All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die
[(Just how old)]
And we will see a plague and a river of blood
And every evil soul will surely die in spite of
Their 7 tears, but do not fear
4 in the distance, 12 souls from now
U and me will still be here - we will still be here
There will be a new city with streets of gold
The young so educated they never grow old
And a, there will be no death 4 with every breath
The voice of many colors sings a song
That's so bold
Sing it while we watch them fall
All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die
[(Just how old)]
[(Just how old)]
[(Just how old)]
