I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
Where black is the color, where none is the number,
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'..
A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall- Bob Dylan
so I heard this for the first time today
the lyrics are captivating
interesting thoughts
Last night was good. I hung around the house.. had dinner with the family and Joey drove all the way to the boons to see me. fun night. My family is so weird and raw and crazy... who's isn't. Im learning to be ok with the weird. The raw part still gets to me... they are just so balls out and honest all the freaking time. Im used to it but for others it can be overbearing.. I worry to much that's my issue. Attempted to play Phase 10 with them.. We [joey, my dad and I] didnt last long... Joey wont play anymore card games with me because I "cheat". Which I found out today that technically I did cheat but is it cheating if you didnt know the official rules to begin with? Official Uno rules if you didnt know them. lol. Here's an old photo of mine... this was the old checkered board room days.
sorry babe. ;)After everybody left I sat in the living room in a daze watching the news. Fox I think.. one of those all the time debate and screw shows. The ones with twenty things going on at once.. a continuous stream of updates at the bottom. The time flippin around every 15 seconds [yes I counted] with all the time zones. Headlines everywhere. Two and some times four split screens of people and not just people but opinionated people. Journalists. Activists. Politicians. Average Joes. Business men and women. All giving news. Or opinion. Or thoughts. Or views. For what? So we can be updated on what? not the truth because their words are not truth. Its really just too much. Ive been attempting to keep up with the election and going ons with the next leader of our country... but its all really too much. Politics are really starting to get to me. Like the conversation I listened to last night between four individuals about Obama and if it is necessary to take in account the church he goes to and the beliefs of it. For a second I spaced out.. IS IT NECCESSARY? Yes its flippin necessary it should be a priority to research and find out what he believes and what he puts his faith in... That's what leads people to make decisions..Being the next PRESIDENT of the United States of America and being tossed into a war he is going to be making a ton of changes and decisions that will impact our lives and our kids lives. We better have a full understanding of where he stands and how strong his belief system is. Is it necessary? Im starting to lose faith in the human race.. not really saying I had faith in us to begin with. We are so warped. This is a video of Rev Dr Jeremiah Wright the leader of Obama's church on Fox... this my friends is sad. Go and research a little bit please before you mark the ballet. It all is void in the grand scheme of things but you would think we would try to make things a bit more pleasant while we are here.
1 Timothy 2: 1-6
1I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— 2for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6who gave himself as a ransom for all men—the testimony given in its proper time.
that's truth.
grace and peace

And I am losing hope in the human race too. We should make a club.
My house smells like cat vomit.
I agree about politicians and the national media. You can't 100% trust what they say. The purpose of campaigning is to "convince" people to vote for them or their cause, and yet a small percent of what they talk about really matters. They rarely talk about their voting history, or the issues they've stood behind, or what life experiences they've had that qualifies them. They say that stuff, but only small amounts. They spend the majority of their breathe telling us about what they will support, how they will do it, or they will rant on and on about how we should change. And it is rare that anything will be accomplished if they do get elected. After all they don't run the country alone. They have to fight political wars with political opponents and then every once in a while go back to the constituents and kiss-ass again to get back into the political fight.
We asked George Washington, after successfully leading our army against the redcoats, to be America's first king. He refused... Then we convinced him to be our first President.
