Masterpiece - Work In Progress

So much pressure

Why so loud?

If you don't like my sound

You can turn it down

I got a road

And I walk it alone

Uphill battle

I look good when I climb

I'm ferocious, precocious

I get braggadocios

I'm not gonna stop

I like the view from the top

You talk that blah blah, that la-la, that rah-rah shit

And I'm so done, I'm so over it

Sometimes I mess up, I f-up up, I hit and miss

But I'm okay, I'm cool with it

I still fall on my face sometimes

And I can't colour inside the lines

'Cause I'm perfectly incomplete

I'm still working on my masterpiece

And I, I wanna hang with the greats

Got a way to go, but it's worth the wait

No, you haven't seen the best of me

I'm still working on my masterpiece

Those who mind don't matter

Those who matter, don't mind

If you don't catch what I'm throwing

Then I leave you behind

Gone in a flash

Make It Rain

When the sins of my father

Weigh down in my soul

And the pain of my mother

Will not let me go

Well I know there can come fire from the sky

To refine the purest of kings

Even though

I know this fire brings me pain

Even so

And just the same

Make it rain

Make it rain down low

Just make it rain

Make it rain

Make it rain

Make it rain down low

Just make it rain

Make it rain

And the seed needs the water

Before it grows out of the ground

But it just keeps on getting hotter

And the hunger more profound

Well I know there can come tears from their eyes

But they may as well be in vain

Even though

I know these tears bring me pain

Even so

And just the same

Nobody Knows

I pretend that I'm glad you went away

these four walls close in more every day

And I'm dyin' inside

And nobody knows it but me

Like a clown I put on a show

The pain is real, even if nobody knows

And I'm cryin' inside

And nobody knows it but me

Why did he say 

the things he said

How could he have done 

the things that he did

Now his world is just a tumblin' down

I can see it so clearly

and I am no longer around

Yes, the nights are lonely, the days are so sad and

I just keep thinkin' about the love that we had

Yes, I'm missin' you

And nobody knows it but me

No One

I carry a smile

when i'm broken in two

i'm tremblin' inside

and nobody knows it but me

I lie awake

it's a quarter past 3

i'm screamin at night

if i thought you'd hear me

yeah, my heart is calling you

and nobody knows it but me

How blue can I get, you could ask my heart

Just like a jigsaw puzzle it's been torn all apart

A million words couldn't say

Just how I feel

Personal

No I'm not a liar

Just don't know how to tell you the truth

All we need is time

We don't know why we do what we do

But we do

On a night like this

Just don't know what I'm trying to prove

No we can't predict

The reasons why we do what we do

But we do, but we do

Yeah we do what we do

Yeah we do what we do

Yeah we do what we do

Big White Room

Sitting in a big white room alone

Tilt my head back, feel the tears fall down

Close my eyes to see in the dark

I feel young, broken, so so scared

I don't wanna be here anymore

I wanna be somewhere else

Normal and free, like I used to be

But I have to stay in this big white room

With little old me

I'm going crazy

I'm losing my mind

I'm going crazy

In this big white room of mine

Come Home Snoopy, Come Home!

Oh my god, Oh my god where do I start ....in a few hours my best friend is going to sleep with no more pain and hurt.

I lost my boyfriend a year ago This October of 10 years; and now my best friend of 8 years.

Snoopy wast the best dog any one could ask for.... he loved cats,  dogs, people and every one he met.

Maybe thats why on his side he has 2 black harts that show love... the best love you could find from a friend.

In the picture is his favorite doll he carried with him all the time.

Snoopy will be laid to rest with it and his favorite Halloween blanket that he loved to be covered in at night.

RIP BABY ILL ALWAYS LOVE U AND WE ALL WILL KEEP A EYE OUT FOR YOUR SPIRIT TO GUIDE US IN LIFE.

I Did It All

Hoping you take that jump

But don't fear the fall

Hope when the water rises

You built a wall

Hoping the crowd screams out

Screaming your name

Hope if everybody runs

You choose to stay

Hope that you fall in love

And it hurts so bad

The only way you can know

Is give it all you have

And I hope that you don't suffer

But take the pain

Hope when the moment comes you say

I, I did it all

I, I did it all

I owned every second

That this world could give

I saw so many places

The things that I did

With every broken bone

I swear I lived

Hope that you spend your days

But they all add up

And when that sun goes down

Hope you raise your cup

I wish that I could witness

All your joy and all your pain

But until my moment comes

I'll say

I, I did it all

I, I did it all

I owned every second

That this world could give

I saw so many places

And things that I did

With every broken bone

I swear I lived

With every broken bone

I swear I lived

With every broken bone

I swear I lived

I, I did it all

I, I did it all

I owned every second

That this world could give

I saw so many places

And things that I did girl

With every broken bone

I swear I lived

Is It Crazy?

Is it crazy that I want you to stay

When I tell you to leave

When I tell you go

Is it crazy that I say your name

More times a day

Than I say my own

Tell me baby is it crazy?

Tell me baby is it crazy?

Is it crazy when you’re gone for a minute

I’m missing you, 

Yeah I feel alone

Don't Say GoodNight

As soon as the doors slammed

The silence that fell

Was all that you left me

With a story to tell

'Bout cigarettes and ash-trays

That I smoked with you

I tried to find the truth

Lying there with you

I never listen, I never listen

All the things you said

I’ll never hear again

I should’ve listened more

You Gotta Meet Me Down The Line Dan Baker

I’ve been battered, I’ve been bruised

And though I know it’s no excuse

For you I know I’m right

And in another place, in another time

I’ll buy you flowers, I’d build a home

Right now can’t pay the bills, I cannot go

Can’t give you anything you need

I Can't Make You Love Me Dan Baker

Turn down the lights

Turn down the bed

Turn down these voices

Inside my head

Lay down with me

Tell me no lies

Just hold me close

Don't patronize

Don't patronize

'Cause I can't make you love me

If you don't

Out Of My Head - Dan Baker

Living in a broken home alone

16 weeks since you've been gone

As time goes by there's no pieces left

No memories of you & me

To shut out feeling lonely; I get out of my head

Lost everything around me

Not dealing with it well

To shut out feeling lonely; I get out of my head

Why would you want to love somebody when love hurts in the end?

Free to see the world now as my own

Sleep with any woman that I want

But anytime anyone gets close

Breaks through my mind, what I have lost

I Know I'm Not The Only One - Dan Baker

You and me, we made a vow

For better or for worse

I can't believe you let me down

But the proof's in the way it hurts

For months on end I've had my doubts

Denying every tear

I wish this would be over now

But I know that I still need you here

You say I'm crazy

'Cause you don't think I know what you've done

But when you call me baby, I know I'm not the only one

You've been so unavailable

Now sadly I know why

Your heart is unobtainable

Even though Lord knows you kept mine

You say I'm crazy

In The Lonely Hour I Need You - Good Bye Dan Baker

I need someone, that I'll look to,

In the lonely hour, that we all go through

To give me comfort, and love me through

In the lonely hour, I need you

I need you

I need you

I don't need diamonds, I don't need jewels

No amount of riches will cover up these blues

I don't need suggestions, about a starting new

In the lonely hour, I need you

There's nothing I can do, I'm helpless without you

Its a losing point of view

when there's a wistful silence, in an empty room

These other voice's, they don't cut through

In the lonely hour, I need you

I need you

I've Told You Now

You know what I mean

It's like walking in the heat all day, with no water

It's like waiting for a friend

Watching everybody else meet theirs, on that corner

Or losing in an argument

Although you're right, can't get your thoughts in order

Still I refrain

From talking at you, talking on

You know me well

I don't explain

But why the hell

Why do you think I come 'round here on my free will?

Wasting all my precious time

Oh, the truth spills out

And oooooo oh I've

I've told you now

What Have I Done Dan Baker

Oh my love what have I done?

Oh my love what have I done?

I shot an arrow in your heart that

I can't take back

When I said,

"You were my first love but you are not my last."

Nirvana

Oh baby, oh baby, oh we both know the truth

If it were the real me and you,

This wouldn't be the right thing to do

Now the room is all hazy, we're too lost in the fumes

I feel like it's just me and you,

Yeah we got nothing to lose

It's too late to run away from it all

It's too late to get away from it all

I'm done with running so I give in to you

This moment has caused a reaction

Resulting in our reattachment

Not In That Way

I hate to say I love you

When it's so hard for me

And I hate to say I want you

When you make it so clear

You don't want me

I'd never ask you cause deep down

I'm certain I know what you'd say

You'd say I'm sorry believe me

I love you but not in that way

And I hate to say I need you

I'm so reliant

I'm so dependant

I'm such a fool

When you're not there

I find myself singing the blues

Can't bear

Can't face the truth

Shine On You

Once upon a time there was a meeting of minds

The sun and the moon made a deal with the sky

One would take the morning and the other the night

Together they would blanket the world with light

But the moon had a shadow, he felt like a liar

The sun was the only one who carried the fire

The sun saw this, she kept on glowing

Bound to the moon, never saying, "you owe me"

She said I'll shine on you (shine on you)

I will shine on you (shine on you)

I will shine on you (shine on you)

I will shine on you

Claiming My Power

There is no need to give your power away to somebody else.

Today, I am claiming my Power.

I am owning my Truth.

I am accepting my Kingdom.

I am seeing my Value.

I am honoring my Strengths.

I am loving my Self.

No more playing small and giving my energy where it is not received and magnified back even brighter. It is far too valuable.

Remember, their truth isn't THE truth and it definitely doesn't need to be YOUR truth.

Nobody knows you and what your intentions are more than yourself.

As long as you can be at peace with what you gave and how deeply you cared, and how passionately you lived, nothing else matters.

Focus on mastering your Output. Not trying to fix other people's Input. Because ultimately..... you can only control what you GIVE out to the Universe.

You can't control each person's ability to receive it.

So why put your energy into trying to get them to hear your frequency when they're not even tuned in to the same station?

Love yourself enough to know that you are brilliant and OWN YOUR TRUTH.

Nothing will liberate you more than that.

And THAT, is what freedom truly is.

A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?

And where have you been my darling young one?

I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains

I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways

I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests

I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans

I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard

And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard

It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, what did you see, my blue eyed son?

And what did you see, my darling young one?

I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it

I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it

I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'

I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'

I saw a white ladder all covered with water

I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken

I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children

And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard

It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Pure InsanitISM

Most of the world gave up on freedom and liberty a long time ago, by design.

And the People of the United States have shown the most resistance to that design, being the 'World's' last hope, the biggest stumbling block to the diabolical objectives of the World's sole enemy. 

I would not look the world over for answers, nor be concerned or influenced with much outside our direct responsibility as the People of the United States.

Today all R's and 'D's from dog catcher to president have (or they could not be in office) become total shills for the foreign controlling global "central (FED) banking elites", All, no exceptions have turned their backs on the American People, many in total ignorance but total shills none the less. 

Not one living and breathing R D or I elected or appointed in office today in the United States from local, city councilmen, to governors of state and all federal office holders, not one represents a single breathing American.  

Not a single one!! 

Pills And Potions - I'm Angry But I Still Love You

A yo they could never make me hate you

Even though what you was doing wasn't tasteful

Even though you out here looking so ungrateful

Imma keep it moving, be classy and graceful

I told 'em it's no friends in the game

You ain't learned that yet

All the bridges you came over, don't burn that yet

Niggas want respect, but niggas ain't earned that yet

Self-righteous, and entitled

But they swearing on the Bible that they love you

Getting Situated - Phoenix Aquua

Hey Folks,

Yes yes yes I know I’ve been away for quiet a while. I’m always disappearing on you folks.

I’m sorry, I really am. I'm still getting a little acclimated to my new diggs here in Yuba City, California, and loving it!

I've been trying to furnish my humble abode and make it comfortable enough so that I could get back to my blog.....there is so much to talk about...and experiences I'd love to share.

Not too sure which way my blog is heading.....I'll just have to go with the flow and see where it takes me....

...in the meantime, I have posted lots of information I think you should be aware of...visit my facebook page.

Who'll Stop The Rain?

Long as I remember,

The rain been comin' down.

Clouds of myst'ry pourin'

Confusion on the ground.

Good men through the ages

Tryin' to find the sun.

And I wonder,

Still I wonder

Who'll stop the rain.

Love Someone

Love is a funny thing

Whenever I give it, it comes back to me

And it's wonderful to be

Giving with my whole heart

As my heart receives

Your love

Oh, ain't it nice tonight we've got each other

And I am right beside you

More than just a partner or a lover

I'm your friend

Back To The Earth

Whenever my head starts to hurt

Before it goes from bad to feeling worse

I turn off my phone, I get down low

And put my hands in the dirt

I try to stop the world from moving so fast

Try to get a grip on where I'm at

To simplify this daisy life,

And put my feet in the grass

I'm going back to the Earth

I'm going back to work

I'm going back to the Earth

Mutual Core

I shuffle around the tectonic plates in my chest.

You know I gave it all,

Try to match our continents

To change seasonal shift,

To form a mutual core.

As fast as your fingernail grows,

The Atlantic ridge drifts

To counteract distance.

You know I gave it all,

Can you hear the effort of the magnetic strife?

Shuffling of columns

To form a mutual core.

This eruption undoes stagnation.

You didn't know I had it in me,

Withheld your love, an unspent capsule.

I didn't know you had it in you,

You hid the key to our continuity.

I didn't know you had it in you.

This eruption undoes stagnation.

You didn't know, you didn't know.

What you resist persists, nuance makes heat

To counteract distance

I know you gave it all,

Offered me harmony if things were done your way.

My Eurasian plate subsumed,

Forming a mutual core

This eruption undoes stagnation.

You didn't know I had it in me,

Withheld your love, an unspent capsule.

I didn't know you had it in you.

This eruption undoes stagnation

You didn't know I had it in me

This eruption undoes stagnation

You didn't know, you didn't know.

United States No Longer The Land Of The Free

Happy 4th of July?

How can it be happy when the United States has continued rollbacks on civil liberties in the United States conflicts with the view of the country as the land of the free. 

If we are going to adopt Chinese legal principles, we should at least have the integrity to adopt one Chinese proverb:

“The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names.” 

We seem as a country to be in denial as to the implications of these laws and policies. Whether we are viewed as a free country with authoritarian inclinations or an authoritarian nation with free aspirations (or some other hybrid definition), we are clearly not what we once were. 

Every year, the State Department issues reports on individual rights in other countries, monitoring the passage of restrictive laws and regulations around the world. Iran, for example, has been criticized for denying fair public trials and limiting privacy, while Russia has been taken to task for undermining due process. Other countries have been condemned for the use of secret evidence and torture.

Even as we pass judgment on countries we consider unfree, Americans remain confident that any definition of a free nation must include their own — the land of free. Yet, the laws and practices of the land should shake that confidence. In the decade since Sept. 11, 2001, this country has comprehensively reduced civil liberties in the name of an expanded security state. 

The most recent example of this was the National Defense Authorization Act, signed Dec. 31, which allows for the indefinite detention of citizens.

Pretty Hurts

Mama said, 

"You're a pretty girl.

What's in your head, it doesn't matter

Brush your hair, fix your teeth.

What you wear is all that matters."

Pretty Hurts

We shine the light on whatever's worst

Perfection is a disease of a nation

>>Pretty Hurts

Stay With Me

Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one-night stand

But I still need love 'cause I'm just a man

These nights never seem to go to plan

I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?

Oh, won't you stay with me?

'Cause you're all I need

This ain't love, it's clear to see

But darling, stay with me

Why am I so emotional?

No, it's not a good look, gain some self-control

And deep down I know this never works

But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt

Hush, Don't Speak

La la, la la la la la na na na na na,

La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na

Hush, don't speak

When you spit your venom, keep it shut I hate it

When you hiss and preach

About your new messiah 'cause your theories catch fire

I can't find your silver lining

I don't mean to judge

But when you read your speech, it's tiring

Enough is enough

I'm covering my ears like a kid

When your words mean nothing, 

I go la la la

A Motherless Child

Sometime I feel

Like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel

Like a motherless child

Right now I feel like a motherless child

A long...long way...from my home

My holidays are hollow days

With memories of my mother's face

I can see her now, when she smiles

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Mother said she would never leave

That she would always be there for me

Where are you now???

And sometimes I feel

Like I'm almost gone

Sometimes I feel

Like I'm all alone

A long...a long way...from home

3 Things

There are three things I do when my life falls apart

Number one I cry my eyes out and I dry up my heart

Not until I do this will my new life start

Yeah that’s the first thing that I do when my life falls apart.

Oh the second thing I would do is I would close both of my eyes

And sing the parts I knew of favorite songs up to the sky.

I go where I know the love is centering that look inside

Gathering new strength from sorrow,

I’d die to feel alive.

I keep it calm around me.

I’m safe inside my storm.

I’m seeing all is grounding.

Cause on the ground you can’t get no lower.

No when you’re grounded you can’t get no lower.

Yeah the third thing that I do now when my world caves in,

is I pause I take a breath and bow and I let that chapter end.

I design my future bright not by where my life has been.

And I try, try, try, try, try again.

Yes I try, try, try, try, try again.

Maya Angelou - Still I Rise

You may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies,

You may trod me in the very dirt

But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?

Why are you beset with gloom?

‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells

Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,

With the certainty of tides,

Just like hopes springing high,

Still I’ll rise.

Memorial Day 2014

In recent years the day’s meaning has often been lost in the holiday atmosphere of an early summer’s three-day weekend. 

But I do not think this will be one of these years, for the Veterans Administration scandal has legs and this one (of so many administration scandals) cannot be swept under the rug. 

Every Memorial Service will remind those who care — and most of us still do — that their government is often managed by callous bureaucrats who seriously, even fatally, withheld medical care for those to whom we owe an eternal debt. 

It touches so many families and reminds those of us not still in the Woodstock cannabis haze the dangers of putting important functions in the hands of a government without workable checks, a diligent honest press, and honorable officeholders.

The Sacred Responsibility Of Mothers

A Mother's Proclamation:

"Mothers have a sacred duty to raise their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, to teach them to love and serve one another, to observe all Universal Laws and to be law-abiding citizens wherever they live."

Every woman who bears a child thus has a sacred responsibility to provide loving nurturance so that a child can develop toward his or her highest potential.

While both mothers and fathers are essential to a child's healthy development, this article centers on the contribution and responsibility of mothers.

Biologically, mothers have been given the hallowed opportunity to bear children.  Because they nurture the developing child in their own bodies, they almost always feel a compelling drive to protect the new, entirely dependent life they've given birth to.  

Most mothers also feel inherent motivation to comfort and guide their child.

March Against Monsanto - Worldwide 5.24.2014

On May 24, millions of activists from around the world will once again March Against Monsanto, calling for the permanent boycott of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and other harmful agro-chemicals. Currently, marches will occur on six continents, in 52 countries,with events in over 400 cities. In the US, solidarity marches are slated to occur in 47 states. 

Tami Monroe Canal, founder of March Against Monsanto (MAM), was inspired to start the movement to protect her two daughters.

 “Monsanto’s predatory business and corporate agricultural practices threatens their generation’s health, fertility and longevity. MAM supports a sustainable food production system. We must act now to stop GMOs and harmful pesticides.”

Friends Don't Let Friends Drink Starbucks

As a health conscious, socially and environmentally-concerned consumer, I am upset about the current policies and practices of Starbucks. I am upset about the introduction of untested, unlabeled, and potentially hazardous genetically engineered ingredients — without my knowledge — into the foods that I consume and serve to my family. 

I am dismayed to learn that Starbucks allows recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH) and other genetically engineered ingredients in your coffee beverages, ice cream, chocolate, and baked goods.

I am also upset that Starbucks is refusing to brew and serve Fair Trade, shade-grown coffee in its cafes (as opposed to just selling the beans in bulk); and that you are not following through completely on a previous agreement to improve the wages and working conditions for the thousands of workers on coffee plantations that supply you with coffee in Guatemala and other nations.

You Are What You Eat - Junk Food Mothers

Is it the notion that to be fit and healthy you need to eat good food?

"Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu es." - Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

"Der Mensch ist, was er ißt." - Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach

Neither Brillat-Savarin or Feuerbach meant their quotations to be taken literally.

They were stating that that the food one eats has a bearing on what one's state of mind and health.

Ninety per cent of the diseases known to man are caused by cheap foodstuffs.

The prevalence of obesity, and diabetes in American children is currently estimated to be 35%. Poor nutritional habits during childhood have been directly related to pediatric obesity, and pediatric diabetes.

Childhood obesity, and childhood diabetes is a problem.

Cinco de Mayo Is Not Mexico's Independence Day

Cinco de Mayo marks a American holiday that more and more people celebrate every year in the United States, but sadly many not knowing the reason for the festivities: the "Batalla de Puebla" (Battle of Puebla) or "Cinco de Mayo" (Fifth of May).

The celebration of Cinco de Mayo has become a well-known holiday in the United States from the first time it was celebrated since 1863. However, there is a great deal of misconception around the historical relevance of this Mexican holiday over time and which persists today. The joyous festivities of Cinco de Mayo sometimes cause casual observers to mistakenly assume it is in honor of Mexican Independence Day. Cinco de Mayo translates into the fifth of May, so many Americans think that it equates with the fourth of July or American Independence Day.

However, Mexican Independence is celebrated in September each year.

New Moon, Black Moon, Super Moon 2014

The new moon on the 30th of March 2014 sets the stage for an incredibly intense and volatile month ahead. This new moon at 10 degree Aries, lines up with revolutionary Uranus. 

During this new moon period, we have the most sinister looking of the seven exact squares between Uranus and Pluto. 

For the entire new moon phase, there is a tense T-square aspect pattern, which then turns into the explosive Grand Cross April 2014.

This new moon is going to strongly affect the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, but also decans 1 and 2 of the other signs. You can read more about this in the monthly horoscopes. From the moment this new moon phase kicks in, the stress and tension will continue to build until the climax of the grand cross in late April 2014.

I Would Follow You To The Ends Of The Earth

You would think that the sound of 400 dogs would be louder, wilder, like a small tornado touching down. But there's a hush here as Sasha Pecic falls to the ground and the dogs surround him.

"Touch me. Throw the ball to me. Pass me a treat." 

You can almost hear the thoughts of the dogs.

As Sasha makes his way through the pack at this unique, free-run dog sanctuary in Serbia, he responds to the dogs personally. He calls each by name and tells them how beautiful they are, how loved they are. Sasha remembers the broken bones and emotional wounds each dog arrived with. And he is most alive when he sees the healing come full circle.

The dogs follow Sasha across the pasture area, as he goes about cleaning for the morning. They follow him as he collects beds for cleaning, as he empties the garbage, and as he unloads sacks of food. 

One has to wonder, would the dogs follow this man to the ends of the earth? 

The CIA Hoax Of Flight 370

Today we are told that the fate of Flight 370 is known, not yet identified debris has been spotted in what is called “the Southern Indian Ocean,” perhaps more appropriately described as “north of Antarctica.”

We also know that the 777/200 is a “fly by wire” aircraft with controls in place that allow the CIA to remotely pilot the plan “in case of emergency.” We were able to verify the design and implementation of this system through Boeing, Raytheon and commercial pilots.

BAD NEWS

The descriptions today in the New York Times and other publications are purposefully inaccurate and contradictory. Their explanations of how commercial aircraft communicate and are tracked are fanciful at best, at worst “criminal.”

Face The Bird

In my spiritual transition, through knowledge I have been led to a more deliberate and purposeful life. 

I have been able to help people to understand themselves, and not waste energy on self defeating thoughts. But most of all, I stopped my self destructive patterns, and am deliberately making my dreams come true.

This is why I try and find purpose in all that happens.

As it turns out what I thought was incredibly random has actually been deliberate and full of purpose. I see this more and more as I get to know myself. - ♥

I honor the place in you which is of love, integrity, of wisdom and of peace.

When you are in that place in you, and I am in the place in me, we are ONE.

Everybody says, "They suck".

But where do people think these politicians come from?

They don't fall out of the sky. 

They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. 

They come from American parents, American homes, American families, American schools, American churches, American businesses, and they're elected by American voters.

This is the best we can do, folks.

It's what our system produces:

Garbage in!, garbage out!

The Day We Fight Back

More than 6,000 websites, including Reddit, Tumblr, Mozilla, are taking part in an online protest against government surveillance. 

The action marks two years since website blackouts against SOPA and PIPA and commemorates Aaron Swartz’s death.

In January 2012 we defeated the SOPA and PIPA censorship legislation with the largest Internet protest in history. A year ago this month one of that movement's leaders, Aaron Swartz, tragically passed away.

Today we face a different threat, one that undermines the Internet, and the notion that any of us live in a genuinely free society: against mass surveillance.

If Aaron were alive, he'd be on the front lines, fighting against a world in which governments observe, collect, and analyze our every digital action.

The February 11 online protest, going by the title ‘The Day We Fight Back’, is supposed to see around 6, 200 websites each host a large banner at the top reading 

“Dear internet, we’re sick of complaining about the NSA. We want new laws that curtail online surveillance.”

Happy Rebirth Phoenix Aquua!

Death and Rebirth is one of the most crucial parts of life, without one the other simply cannot exist!

Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn.

Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself to become a new person.

The phoenix must burn to emerge.

I give you this to take with you:

Nothing remains as it was.

If you know this, you can begin again, with pure joy in the uprooting.

When love awakens in your life, in the night of your heart, it is like the dawn breaking within you.

Black Moon Rising — Omen Of Change

The day before my birthday, January 30th you and I will have an opportunity to experience a rare event.

The moon will be the 2nd new moon in the same month.

It's also going to be a Super Moon, which is why it's known at the "Black Moon".

What is so unusual is that this moon can only be seen during the day.

The black moon is seen as an omen of change.

This year we certainly have a lot of space phenomena.

The Dark

One man denies the truth.

Another denies his own actions.

Both go into the dark.

And in the next world suffer

For they offend truth.

Wear the yellow robe.

But if you are reckless

You will fall into darkness.

What Did Martin Luther King Do?

Most people do not know what Martin Luther King did...

...this will be a very short diary. It will not contain any links or any scholarly references. It is about a very narrow topic, from a very personal, subjective perspective.

The topic at hand is what Martin Luther King actually did, what it was that he actually accomplished.

What most people who reference Dr. King seem not to know is how Dr. King actually changed the subjective experience of life in the United States for African Americans. And yeah, I said for African Americans, not for Americans, because his main impact was his effect on the lives of African Americans, not on Americans in general. His main impact was not to make white people nicer or fairer. That's why some of us who are African Americans get a bit possessive about his legacy. 

Dr. Martin Luther King's legacy, despite what our civil religion tells us, is not color blind.

Watching Sports Is For Stupid People

Organized sports are bigger than ever. 

This is amazing, considering watching sports is a bigger waste of time than a bowel movement resulting in a Casio. 

Yes, the actual experience of swallowing, digesting, and excreting a digital wristwatch, has more life-enriching potential than watching the "big" game, which often is worse for you colon also.

Sports fans say "you just don't get it", but we hear "stop making me think about something that isn't a ball thrower's inflamed rotator cuff!" To put it in terms even the biggest jock can understand, we'll try to explain as nicely as possible three reasons why religiously following sports is for stupids. Dumb, idioty, stupids.

3. Sports is entertainment.

Sure, sports is to jocks what videogames are to nerds or reality TV is to boring people. The difference is that while gamers digitally murder civilizations, they are also developing quicker reflexes (to better decide which of the 17 Mountain Dew flavors is least painful to chug).
