Interesting News Tidbits
I didn’t expect this to be a news blog, but when you run across something that touches you – like yesterday’s Mia Farrow letter, there’s only one thing to do about it….here’s what got to me today….
Levitation believe it or not. Even if it’s only for small stuff.
Babies don’t get smart by watching DVD’s. I knew it! Actually, this makes total and complete sense, and I’m pissed off at the parents who think they can get away with sticking their kids in front of a damn television instead of interacting with them. It’s just perpetuating the problem of increased communication while lacking real connection in the world.
Peru is struggling with global warming. Of course, so is the rest of the world, but when you can see changes in a generation – like the shrinking of a glacier, well, it just makes me sick, what we’re going to leave our children and grandchildren.
Talk about making me sick. It seems our government has “lost” some weapons they had in Iraq. It could be bad record keeping, or it could be theft, or it could be that we’re fucking a MESS!!!! Please don’t get me wrong, I consider myself a democrat, but DON’T believe that we should pull out right now (pulling out prematurely is NEVER the best option…LOL). AND no matter what, I want our military to do the best job they know how, and to kick ass when appropriate, and come home alive. But I DO think our government is mis-using our militarty men and women. I don’t think they get the support they need financially, or with weapons, and here we are just “losing!!!” some of them! STEP UP, PEOPLE!!!!!

Grafitti & Love…
I’m feeling full of peace and love today. I should go burn a joint – ha ha! I read Mia Farrow’s letter to Omar Hassan al-Bashir, President of the Republic of Sudan today, and it’s really mind-blowing to think that someone is so willing, in this day and age to sacrifice themself for another human being. I’m embarrassed to admit that I don’t know much about what’s going on over there, but wow, what she is doing is bringing about a lot of love, man.
The Grafitti link at the top of the page just furthers it – people doing their thing, using their gifts to try and make the world a better place. I’m impressed, and man, do I want to be like them.
My Son is turning 16 tomorrow. It scares me how fast time flies, because in the next 16 years, he will grow to middle age, and probably have children. I sucked as a parent, by my own standards, but I just hope I gave him enough to live his life on. I actually still want to have more kids, if I can find a man who I want to give my body over to. We’ll see how that goes.
But, love, man, love is in the air. It’s late summer, and I feel love for everyone…and no, I’m actually NOT on any drugs – so, it’s just my attitude, no chemicals. All right – I’m about to go all gushy here, and it’s making ME sick, too, so I’m going to stop – immediately…read Marianne Williamson’s “Return to Love” for more of what I’m feeling…
