Something I never learned in school, but am finding very interesting reading:
"That the Government claims, and practically maintains the right to decide in the last resort, as to the extent of its powers, will scarcely be denied by any one conversant with the political history of the country. That it also claims the right to resort to force to maintain whatever power it claims,...

Just reading through most of my journal entries on livejournal I've kept the past few years. (Whorlwind there too) I've changed so much, grown so much, and yet all I feel now is.. old. Of course the reason I have the handle whorlwind (well whirlwind was taken already) was one of my friends telling me that I'm like a whirlwind. I turn and spin tumultuously...

exactly. we're striving to build a community of artists, family, and lovers...hopefully one day it will get there. we're lucky enough to have a small network of close friends that we call family. the people won't revolt as long as they're kept busy with survival. it's hard to feel like we're accomplishing anything because you have to stay so focused to crawl an inch uphill in five years. i get very discouraged by how slow things get done...to the point i usually give up. it is something i'm working on though 
i wonder on a daily basis whether the sacrifices of self i've made have been worth it. what else is there to do though? to live you must accept another slice of death on the plate.
(in response to my journal)
yea...we're a bit of the ecclectic pagan persuasion. we have our own personal beliefs, but we both believe in the power of magic and will. i can always use extra juju if you want to send me some. although it sounds like you could use a bit yourself

"Pursuit", by Stephen Dobyns
Each thing I do I rush through so I can do
something else. In such a way do the days pass -
a blend of stock car racing and the never
ending building of a gothic cathedral.
Through the windows of my speeding car, I see
all that I love falling away: books unread,
jokes untold, landscapes unvisited. And why?

yea, i'd have to say enchantment was my favorite of his too.

basically i just need some drawing supplies...and there's this huge canvas i want
i need a big sketch pad preferably with tear our pages spiral bound at the top...some good pencils...an eraser...a pencil sharpener...maybe a few pens.
as far as watching the kids...i can usually get out when i want to, it's more a responsability thing...i need to make the kids dinner, get them ready for bed, help with homework, that sort of thing. although, this next weekend, if you could watch the kids for a few hours so winter and i can go out some night...even after they're asleep...that would rock. we haven't had much time for ourselves lately.
