The Usefulness Of The Internet
2007-08-02 21:27:00
I have started cleaning out bookshelves.. It was a sad day for me, for anytime I sell a book, I cry. Pathetic, I know... But, I want to take a trip to San Antonio to visit the kids (it's their year with dad) before I head off to Basic training for the Army National Guard, so, you do what has to be done... Sometimes, I wish we lived in a society where our lives don't revolve around money, just using trade as our means of living, but those days are long past.... (I truly belong in another time and place...lol)That is one good thing the internet is for, helping you place your items in others hands.My new project? Using Amazon to help earn the money. For years I was addicted to EBay, I still like the site, but I don't much care for Paypal . So, when I started shopping on Amazon and noticed their auctions and storefronts, I was a happy camper.I have posted the links to my storefront, browse if you feel like it....I'm going to go have another good cry...:)">View blog reactions

My Thoughts On The CNN/YouTube Debate
2007-07-25 03:26:00
Hope that last blog didn't piss to many people off, sometimes a girl has to write exactly what is on her mind...I am an avid YouTube junkie, I suppose that would be the proper word, or perhaps addicted might better describe it. :)I have to say I was impressed with CNN, YouTube & the Democratic candidates efforts in the debate last night. For candidates to walk blindly into a debate, without any prior knowledge of the questions was brave. Oh, I know they probably went on YouTube to see what kinds of video questions were being asked, but it was still refreshing...I have made it no secret I support John Edwards out of all of the candidates the most. When he was asked the question about gay marriage, I thought it was extremely honest and brutal on his part to answer how he did. Myself? I support them, why not? They deserve the same rights as everyone else. For him to stand there and say No, I do not support them, but I will not allow my religious beliefs to sway me when I am president...

Ramblings Of A Woman Gone Mad....
2007-07-23 00:40:00
I could give some bullshit excuse as to why I haven't written in almost a month, but that requires to much effort. So, how about I just tell the truth. I was never one for lying anyways....I feel alone and abandoned. I suppose I shouldn't write things like that on a public website, but you know what? Fuck it. Have you ever felt like your heart has been ripped from your chest? I have had that feeling many times over the last month. I hate being constantly disappointed and let down. I had such hopes... But it doesn't matter anymore, I have reached the point to where I just want to tell the world to fuck off. I get tired of everyone always bringing their problems to me. Sometimes, I just want to scream and say what about me? Do you even fucking care? How about you ask I am, not just assume that I am ok, because I don't talk about my private life other than to give the yes, everything is wonderful line....Whatever.... If only things were that simple. If only.... If only I could vi...

I Heard The News Today
2007-06-29 22:57:00
I have to wonder when there will be a bit of good news to read. Violence all over the world. It seems the past few weeks have just been mounting with tension, death and injury.First story today?London police find 2 bomb-rigged carsBy DAVID STRINGER, Associated Press WriterLONDON - Police in London's bustling nightclub and theater district on Friday defused a car bomb that could have killed hundreds after an ambulance crew spotted smoke coming from a Mercedes filled with a lethal mix of gasoline, propane and nails. Hours later, police confirmed a second explosives-rigged car was found nearby.The first car bomb, found near Piccadilly Circus, was powerful enough to have caused "significant injury or loss of life" at a time when hundreds were in the area, British anti-terror police chief Peter Clarke said.Clarke said Friday evening that the second car ? another Mercedes ? was originally parked illegally on nearby Cockspur Street, but had been towed from the West End to an impound lot n...

To My Love....
2007-06-29 00:14:00
Thoughts on my mind as I wake up from a restless sleep:Your face haunts my dreams. I could feel the breath move upon my back, up my neck, sending waves of anticipation through my body. It always feels real, your voice ringing out crystal clear, I hear it and I turn, but nothing. The sound of your laughter fades as soon as I look.I miss the days laying curled in your arms, whether it be a fever induced sleep or just a much needed nap. I miss the touch of your lips as they brush across my forehead, gently wiping the hair from my face.... How I long for those days again.... I miss the comfort of your touch. I miss the safety of your arms."All lovers live by longing, and endure: Summon a vision and declare it pure." Theodore RoethkeHow do I.... When you told me the news the other day that you wrote about yesterday, I felt sadness of course, but you saw how well, I responded. For I can not dwell upon such things. If I did, madness would become me. I can only hold on to the belief that ev...

Does Understanding Our Past, Save Our Future?
2007-06-24 09:09:00
I was reading through some articles earlier and came across one that was essentially laughing at the students of Anthropology. I could only shake my head in dismay at the ignorance of the voice speaking through words."Are you as interested as I am in knowing how, when, and where human life arose, what the first human societies and languages were like, why cultures have evolved along diverse but often remarkably convergent pathways, why distinctions of rank came into being, and how small bands and villages gave way to chiefdoms and chiefdoms to mighty states and empires? "Marvin HarrisThe word anthropology itself tells the basic story--from the Greek anthropos ("human") and logia ("study")--it is the study of humankind, from its beginnings millions of years ago to the present day.Nothing human is alien to anthropology. Indeed, of the many disciplines that study our species, Homo sapiens, only anthropology seeks to understand the whole panorama--in geographic space and evolutionary ti...

Thank You Morons! A Letter To The White House
2007-06-23 00:33:00
I read about this the other day, and have remained silent up until now about this issue.First of all, I just want to extend a thanks to all you morons in the White House .Thank you for already extending my love, twice. Thank you for keeping him over there longer. Thank you for robbing his children of their father. Thank you for subjecting him to sights that no one should see, day in day out. Thank you for allowing him to spend over 27 months out of the last 36 months in that land of sand (by the time he gets home). Thank you for underpaying him. Thank you for the stress. Thank you for the stolen time, the stolen memories. Thank you for making it near impossible for him to leave the military if he wanted to, by instituting stop-losses. Thank YOU!I just want to congratulate you all on your sacrifice and service to this country. I am sure, all of "us" citizens of this great country appreciate the fact that you personally (or a family member) has put on the uniform, has sacrificed your f...

Domestic Spying: How Much Scrutiny Are You Under?
2007-06-22 06:36:00
The Article that has inspired this blog tonight.President Bush signed a secret order in 2002 authorizing the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on U.S. citizens and foreign nationals in the United States, despite previous legal prohibitions against such domestic spying.Bush's' words about the program: "A program that is in my judgment necessary to win this war and to protect the American people."You know something Bush, I haven't trusted your judgement since you were the Governor of Texas.Different groups that have been monitored: Greenpeace, PETA - the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Catholic Worker, anti-war groups and even bicyclists in New York City.So what constitutes the government rights to spy on us in their eyes?Do you have a friend or family member that lives in a country other than the US? Do you correspond with them regularly through phone calls or emails? You might want to be careful as to what you say, chances are you being spied on. You pose a risk ...

I Hate The World Today
2007-06-19 00:38:00
You know you are sick, when you are a smoker and you can't even choke down one smoke...... Yes, this has been the reasoning for my absence, the mere thought of out-putting any effort what-so-ever has been tiring in itself.I do believe, the worst thing about being sick, is it leaves the mind to much freedom to wander. I already have this problem and it does not need anymore freedom... (Trust me on this one.)Dreamland has been my escape... Although, today's dreams were better left undreamed, kept hidden and locked in a vault somewhere, but alas, they came to play and serve as stark reminders of reality. The very reality I hide from, day in and day out...~Shrug~Don't mind me, I am rambling... I was searching through the web for an image, trying to avoid the news, but that can not happen. My eyes and ears have stayed peeled to the screen, searching for confirmation of my strange dream, thank the gods, no such confirmation has happened yet....Anyways, Onto images....

US arming Sunni groups in Iraq, report says
2007-06-14 05:18:00
Baghdad/New York - US military leaders are supplying Sunni groups in Iraq with weapons and other armoury to fight al-Qaeda terrorists, The New York Times reported Monday. After a test phase in early 2007 conducted in the western province of Anbar, US military leaders had reluctantly agreed to extend the arms support to four other Sunni-dominated restive provinces in central Iraq, the report added. The support is going mainly to Sunni groups, who used to back al- Qaeda terrorists, but later turned their backs on them. They are to receive - mainly through the Iraqi Army - weapons, ammunition, money and other equipment. During initial negotiations, they had agreed to warn US soldiers of booby traps. The government in Baghdad is sceptical of these plans and so far Shiites have resisted negotiating with Sunni insurgents. The office of the Shiite government chief said Monday that Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki had met Admiral William Fallon, a commander in the US Central Command who is res...

Dear Sunni's & Shiites: Proposal For A New Solution
2007-06-13 19:07:00
I am writing this in response to this article. If you haven't heard a key Samarra Mosque was bombed today, and will probably set off another wave of violence. So, I have decided to construct a proposal to submit to the two key players in this damn "conflict". The Sunni 's and the Shiites. June 13, 2007Dear Sunni's and Shiites,I sit here day after day and watch the telly and see how many innocent lives are being slaughtered. I try to understand the reasoning on turning your backs upon your own people, yet I can't. I do, however understand one thing.I know that we aren't wanted there, and quite frankly I don't want us there either. If you guys want to kill each other off, so be it. So, I have come up with the following proposal. I believe that you will find it agreeable. Stop the violence for at least six months. No more IEDS, no mortars, No bombs, No kidnappings, nothing. NONE of that. Now, I realize this is a hard concept, and you must think I am insane for even bringing up suc...

US Needs To Back G8 On Climate Changes
2007-06-13 05:27:00
Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards on Tuesday said the United States should join the Group of Eight in a call to cut global warming gas emissions in half by 2050. Edwards, speaking in the Texas state capital of Austin, said U.S. climate-changing greenhouse gas emissions should be cut by 20 percent by 2020 and 80 percent by 2050, according to a statement released by his campaign."Global warming is an emergency that requires immediate action from the world community," Edwards said. "Before the United States can rally the world to take action, we need to show leadership here at home. We should be leading the charge in this area, not turning our back on the world."The former North Carolina senator and 2004 vice presidential nominee said he favors a cap-and-trade system of emissions credits and requiring developing nations to also aggressively cut greenhouse gas emissions.Edwards has said previously he wants U.S. automakers to produce vehicles that average 40 miles per gallon...

One Life Lost: Is One Life To Many
2007-06-11 03:12:00
The Headline?Iraq bridge collapse traps U.S. soldiers I read this article earlier today, and while it saddened me that once again, life has been lost, I didn't know how it would affect me personally. Well, I suppose I should rephrase that, it doesn't affect me personally, it affected someone whom I love very dearly.Everyday it seems as if the war over there creeps closer and closer to home. My only experience so far with injuries in Iraq have been with a dear friend whose life has been forever altered. He was lucky though, he lived. Even though, half of his face was blown off and he lost an eye, he is alive. It's been two years since that happened and his life is still in limbo. He is still going through surgeries, procedures, etc, with no end truly in sight. His life and his families lives have been forever changed. But yet, they give me hope, for they have prevailed and made the best of the circumstances.People ask me all the time how can I oppose something that the love of my ...

Saving The Planet: One Piece At A Time

I was doing my daily news search, when I came across this piece:American Buys Slices Of South AmericaThe Story? Multimillionaire Douglas Tompkins goal is to save the planet, by buying pieces of it. He owns over a million acres in Chile and Argentina . Of course, as with any news story there is always opposition. There are those in South America that believes the land should belong to foreigners and should be given back to it's government. He insists that he will turn the land back over one day to be used as nature reserves or parks, but wants to hold on so they see what a private conservation can do.As I read this, I decide to dig deeper, to find out how many other millionaires were taking part in a "project" like this. Here are my findings:Swedish millionaire to help Baltic Sea environment protection:Bjorn Carlson has donated almost 63 million dollars to help protect the Baltic Sea environment.Luciano Benetton also owns a vast amount of land in Argentina for environmental purposes....

The Effects Of War: An Inside Look ThroughThe Eyes Of A Loved One Left Behi
2007-06-09 04:12:00
This is probably as personal as I will ever get in a blog on this site. So enjoy, a glimpse through my eyes.....The word comes, "Honey I leave for Iraq in a few months." Your first initial reaction is fear, but then that fear turns to anger. The first time I heard these words was when I was married to my ex. It wasn't Iraq then, it was Bosnia...We had just been stationed in Germany and I was there with two children still in diapers and all alone, without family. Luckily, I've always been a strong person, so I made the best of it. It was hard, being both mom and dad, but I survived. The first one lasted a year. A year passed and when my husband came home, we had both changed. We enjoyed a year with him home, but then came the word again. This time 6-9 months in Bosnia... Luckily, I had the baby before he left, so he was at least able to experience that.A few years pass by and the world is at peace, somewhat. But, that all changed on that day in September. I knew then that military ...

Globalization: Beneficial or Detrimental?
2007-06-08 21:45:00
What begin as a simple summit meeting in 1975 to discuss the oil crisis has now risen to become one of the most debated 3 days of the year. What is this I speak of? G-8. How simplistic. G-8. What exactly does the G & 8 stand for? G= Group, 8= number of countries allowed to take part.The countries honored enough to participate are "supposed" to be from the largest economies in the world. Although, apparently Russia is the exception to that. (As of right now, China is the fourth leading economic power in the world.)So what is the purpose of this group? Each country takes turns every year at the presidency. The country holding the presidency is responsible for planning and hosting a series of ministerial-level meetings, leading up to a mid-year summit attended by the heads of government. The ministerial meetings bring together ministers responsible for various portfolios to discuss issues of mutual or global concern. The range of topics include health, law enforcement, labour, economic...

So, as my contribution to his cause I have added a couple of things on this site along with my myspace..:)Why Have I chosen this Man? It's quite simple, really. I like his stance on several issues.What is his Plan? 1) Restoring America's Moral Leadership in the World2) Guaranteeing Affordable, Quality Health Care for Every American3) Eliminating Poverty4) Strengthening America's Middle Class5) Leading the Fight against Global Warming and Our Addiction to Foreign OilI am not so naive as to believe that any "one" President can implement everything that he sets out to do. But, I do know this, it is time for change. America NEEDS to find her voice once again. Instead of sitting back in the background allowing "money" to decide our countries future, the COMMON man (yes, that means YOU and ME) has to stand up and fight for change.I get tired of hearing "I am...

Azerbaijan: The New Solution?
2007-06-07 16:57:00
When I read the headlines about Putin's suggestion, I scrambled to find out what information I could on this Unknown country. For those of you who haven't read the news yet today, Putin has proposed a new missile site. He told Bush he would not seek to retarget Russian missiles on Europe if the United States agreed to put the system in the central Asia n nation of Azerbaijan, a former Soviet republic. The Russian leader said the proposed relocation would alleviate Russia's concerns about a missile shield based in Europe. Moreover, he said an Azerbaijan-based system would cover all of Europe rather than part it.What have I found out so far?

I have nothing against this countries, but let them protect themselves. Is this honestly worth pissing off the Russians even more? Bringing us to another Cold War?

In Flanders FieldsBy John McCrae In Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, fly.Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved, and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders fields. On this day that we have set aside, to honor our fallen comrades, remember the sacrifices that were and are still being made today. Remember the soldier sitting in 120 degree weather, battling the generators, desperately trying to keep cool. Remember him/her as he/she lays in bed at night dreaming of their loved one's left behind. Remember them, as they are awakened in the middle of the night by the whistling of a round attacking them under the cover of darkness....

De-Classification.... What's The True Intention Here?
2007-05-23 03:50:00
President Bush decided today that he would make a bold move, what move is that? De-classifying Al-Qaida intelligence.... He claims it will validate his "war strategy". Of course, with that I am laughing my bum off... War strategy, hmmmm.... Didn't he claim that the war in Iraq was finished and won quite some time ago standing upon a Naval ship?Remember we are just there now to avert a civil war and help train the Iraqi troops... This man.... I would put in words how strongly I feel about this man, but I am trying to keep my language clean here... Here's a descriptive word, IDIOT. This is just another tactic to make us America ns become interested in something else for the time being, so we don't pay attention to what is really going on... It is nothing new, we already know Bin Laden ordered the terrorist attacks.... I don't know that any of us really disagree with the reason why we went to Afghanistan . So, why is he trying to divert our attention?? What are his true intentions be...
