What kind of soul are you?

You Are a Dreaming Soul

Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you awy from this worldSo much so that you tend to live in your head most of the timeYou have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life. Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul

The first of several holiday links

This email was sent to me today. Along with the radio station that has been playing Christmas music for the past two weeks it is hard to not be in a holiday mood. The question is whether or not I can sustain it for another month. Anyway, enjoy this link.

Thanksgiving reflections

Take a moment to share one thing from the past year that you are thankful for.

A Song for Andy

On Aug. 22, 2004, early in the morning, Andy was tragically killed in an Auto Accident.

I did not know Andy well but was privileged and blessed to share in the experience of celebrating his life with his family.

At that funeral celebration was an odd collection of people that Andy considered his family and friends. You can learn a great deal about someone just by observing the people he holds close. And I wished I could have known Andy better.

At his funeral, one of his teachers (he had graduated just months earlier from high school) read this poem. It was written by Andy for her class. I share it with you now.

Shall I run or hide
and die inside,
Or pretend
that I never even knew you,
even as a friend?

Can I go back in time,
Before your hand was mine,
Or erase the Kiss
that I will forever miss,
or forget your eyes
that seem to hypnotize?

Can my mind erase
the feel of your embrace?
How can I forget all of this
and pretend it doesn't exist?

I want you to know one thing that will never end...
MY LOVE FOR YOU... I LOVE YOU MY FRIEND.

I was thinking of Andy tonight, and of his family. I hope you will think of them too.

I feel like this today. It's kinda cool.

A new Direction

This blog , and this blog host have been acused of being singularly focussed for the past several months. And I suppose that is a fair criticism. But today I am moving in a new direction.

Don't suppose you won't find the occessional rant about the idiot in the white house, but let's be real - we lost.

Today I went out and bought a completely new wardrobe to fit my leaner frame. Imagine the thrill of clearing the xl and xxl out of my closets and replacing them with m-l. Imagine getting rid of the 38-42's and replacing them with 36.

$750 later I must say that buying clothes has not been this fun in a very long time. But that is a serious financial commitment on my part to make sure I don't backslide.

it's all about tomorrow

Time for a fresh outlook. Time to think about the future. Time to stand together for what we believe and to work to make a genuine difference.

Now that the election is over I have a few thoughts.

I have been an "Anybody but Bush" person. I think the reasons are clear. But now that the election is over I have changed my mind. Cheney would be worse.

In 1973, Agnew was forced out of office for reasons having to do with tax fraud - the details are foggy, I was only 12. That opened the door for Ford before Nixon was forced out.

We need to hope that Haliburton brings down Cheney before the secrecy, lies and cover-ups of this administration bring down "W".

So, Who shoud replace Cheney? We haven't much time really. to stick to the time-frame of 1973 it must happen this spring.

Your thoughts?

AAARRRGGHH !!!

Have you voted yet?

4.5 hours left in my time zone. get out there people

Election Night Hit !!!

Play it as Kerry takes each of the major states.

Horse Race!!!

Neck and neck with one lap to go!! Redskins went down in defeat! Bummer Mr President!!
Look for Ohio, but it might come down to Hawaii. I will be up to the end - celebrate with me for Breakfast.

Pro-lifer Alert

Before you vote Bush - think again!!!

In each of eight years of the Clinton Administration the number of abortions performed throughout the US and among all demographics went down compared to the year before and at the end of his term were on par with the numbers at the end of Reagan's 2nd term.

In the two years of activity betweem 2001-2002 ( the most recent numbers available) the number of abortions under GW Bush is on the rise. Most people attribute this increase to poor economic policies which leave fewer choices available to women with difficult choices.

This should give one pause to consider whether the language of pro-lifers that seeks to criminalize abortion actually has reduction in number as their motive.

There's a light...

over at the Frankenstein place.
There's a light-- burning in the fireplace.
There's a bright, bright light
in the darkness of everybody's life.

Life is looking up again - Happy Halloween
