thank you, it's always nice when others notice. I often cosider writing a book on the subject of cherishing.
thank you, it's always nice when others notice. I often cosider writing a book on the subject of cherishing.fucking hell. i just returned home at 1 a.m. and was sitting in my room about to check my email, when i heard the unmistakable sound of someone trying to bust in a car window with a bat. hoping to save a neighbor from misfortune, i ran out the front door, cell phone in hand. it was indeed someone busting in a car window, but...

i'm right with you on the rage, but so sorry you had to see that. on the other hand, better you than someone who wouldn't give a damn.
i didn't care for the movie so much, but i've turned into the picky kind of snob that only likes one or two movies a year now. not that i minded watching natalie portman for two hours, shaved head and all...

No good government except for self-government, I suppose. Saddest thing about it is all one can say is lucky for her you were there. How many others slip through the cracks?
As for the cops, not excusing what they said, especially since I don't know exactly what it was, but cynicism is a way of diffusing the situation. If you pretend you don't care, if you pretend that the victim deserved their fate (even if just a little bit... we're all sinners, right?), then it's a little bit easier to deal with. And maybe that's the only way you can get by if you see the same shit every single day. Sure, it sacrifices a bit of our humanity, but how humans are humans if even a sizable minority can consider an act like smashing up a car and beating the crap out of its occupant?
I personally prefer humor as a way of coping with the negative elements in life, but many would consider it as crass if not moreso than cynicism or sarcasm. Not that I could think of even a marginally appropriate joke about a beaten woman on the fly. I mean, what's the alternative? I can't cry for every father who loses his job and can no longer support his family or for every child they turn into a soldier. I don't have the tears and I don't think it would do much good anyway. Best to do your best to make the world a better place. So good for you for doing what seemed like the right thing. Sucks though, don't it?
As for V, read the comic book by Alan Moore. I'm not saying the film was bad - it wasn't. I just couldn't force myself to watch it again after I witnessed what an atrocity the Wachowski brothers turned it into, and I've never felt anywhere near that way about the filmic adaption of a book. Ironically, the only message they manage to retain in its entirity is the one about integrity...

I'm really good at making chicken noodle soup! 
I'm too far away to bring you some though.
I'm visiting though, cause I saw Earth Balance, and I had to say I love it too! Vegan Super Butter Rocks!

If you'd like my help again I have the 2006 tax cut program you can use to do your taxes with. Hope you're feeling better.
i appreciate all the friend requests...it's nice! but please don't request me without at least posting in my journal and dialoguing with me first. i don't have time to write the friends on my list, so i will delete you if you're random. don't take it personally.

Glad you had an awesome time. Hope everything is going well in school.
on the last day of winter, my best friend drove the hour and 1/2 from chico to meet me at my folk's house, outside of redding. we made the only food we had: fried egg and soy sausage sandwiches, grabbed towels, water, the dog, and fleed from my mother's words at my back, "call if you're going to be too late...".

Wait up....
The euphoria and joy of loving and having is a jewel set off by the foil of losing and suffering, the everyday wonder and preciousness of our lives exists only because we know we will end one day. Don't try to forget, dwell in the feeling and know it, the love of the good times will be greater.
We are out of practice in the 21st centrury, we use sex and sport and alcohol and drugs and shopping and religion to avoid dealing with the basic truths of life.
I may surprise you one day and drop in for that Kiss

your profile says you like funny little insects you've never seen before, and while i'm sure you've seen dragonflies before... you've never seen a dragonfly smiling like the one in my journal post from wednesday
who knew they could be so happy?!

yer sooo pretty
the place: the edge of the earth, above the pacific ocean
the soundtrack: sigur ros
the poem:
The Invitation
It doesnt interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream of meeting your hearts longing.
It doesnt interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking...
