So, with the topic of Armageddon this Saturday night. What is it about death that frightens you? Is it the pain? Or the unknowing of what "final sleep" entails? Also, what would your final encore?

Meeting Tim Minchin is such a thrill for me! Not only is he absolutely brilliant he is spectacularly congenial and for me, quite inspiring.

I'm sorry, those who celebrate the killing of another person, as "evil" as they may be, are just fucking deranged!

My thoughts and prayers go out to those who lost family/friends in the devastating tornados on Tuesday.
Holy crap I need to stop waiting til the last minute to get going. I almost, once again, missed my (insert ANY noun here) this time bus to Chicago. Lol. what a rush. On a side note, I just heard the new Lady Gaga song and idk if I'm a fan..... Back to riding topside this giant megabus.
Fighting old habits can be so difficult at times. It's when I'm at my weakest everything comes crashing together. A torrent of emotions take a hold of my psyche the moment I let my guard down. The flood pours in and the pain sweeps through my already bruised and embittered heart. Self discovery, self doubt all seem to prevail. I know what I must do. But the things I would do, I do not, and the things I should not, I do. Trust, compassion and acceptance are the only way out of the black pit which at times encompasses my mind. You only become free when you accept that you have no control and that life is impermanent. But even in that statement life is an on going cycle of beginnings and ends. Black and white. Good and evil. Saints and Sinners. Darkness and Light. Why do I still fight the darkness? The more I fight and turn away, the more my inner demons prevail. When I accept and not fight the pain, I finally am calm. When will wisdom prevail in those moments of darkness? Why do I try to fight it from happening? I must let go, I must move on. It'll happen whether I'm aware or not. Might as well be present for it.
