"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." (Letter from Birmingham Jail, April 16, 1963) "I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become reality. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word." "It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty import...

Speak up...how is anyone ever going to hear what is on your mind? Stand up...for yourself. don't let them think things are okay when they are not. Live it up. you can't always play it safe. take a chance once in a while. Loosen up. laugh out loud. strike up a conversation. smile from ear to ear. don't worry about what others say. Crank it up. move, dance, sing your heart out...your world will feel light and joyous. Brush up...on something you want to get better at...pick ...

(the "queer eye" guy who gives the hygiene care and hair advice)...he was doing a bookstore signing, and so of course sis had to go....she has a crush on the guy...thinks he is so handsome, and loves the way he dresses... she got to chat him up a bit and said he was very sweet and friendly, and even better looking in person...she took pics with him, and even got a hug from him, which made her swoon even more lol.... gosh...he might be her dream ...

*drag out the old dusty christmas, tree....or bribe someone to do it...of course there is nothing better than the real thing...but the pine needles falling all over the place...well, it got to be a pain in the bleep. *how long have I put off the dental visit...or a doctor checkup...I need to do that. * continue the search for a good gift for 11 year olds...sorta difficult; they are little kids no longer, but also not quite teenagers. *check to see if a substitute is in place for Wedn...
Thank You, Car, for not dying out on me yet...I am almost done paying you off... Thank you, Chocolate, for giving me that little "lift" when I need it lolThank You, Sun, for showering me with warmth when I needed to stop shivering. Thank You, Sister Val, for accompanying me when I would have otherwise felt lonely...for being a light in my life even when you yourself have been grieving over the loss of a good friend.

The Grass is Greener on the other Side To Me, You have the World at your Feet While I struggle to get the World to See Me. You Have the the Bright Smile, the Twinkling Eyes, the Rosy Cheeks My Face doesn't seem to have any sort of Symmetry. You talk with Ease and the masses eat up your every word, While I plead, Can you hear me...Do you understand what I am saying...Do you care... You walk through life with a bounce in your step; maybe you are made up of only one emotion. I ...
Wonder if anyone else has heard of that Texas based website that will soon let'you "hunt and shoot" an animal through the internet... I think it has something to do with looking for animals through a camera...then shooting at them via a remote control gun......then the animals can be retrieved for you and preserved, or made into...umm food....they already offer virtual target practice on this site... personally, I don't care for guns...or hunting...I thought it was crazy when I first hear...
I am a mac user...Don't Know if there are Many of you out there.... and I am not even an upgraded mac user at that :/ There are many features I cannot use with this mac version, and it seems like I am years behind other ppl as far as advanced computing is concerned...

A good friend of my young sister died last night. Her name was Vanessa. She was a dark haired, pretty, 19 year old girl. she involved in a dance group. She graduated from high school this past May, along with my sister. How did she die? Some....stupid, moronic, idiotic 16 year olds were drag racing down a busy road. One of the cars hit her, and she lost control of her car and crashed into the yard of a corner home. 19 years old....oh my god....someone who probably had hopes and dream...
What constitutes an internet addict? I log on one or two hours a day (I'll approximate it to maybe 14 hours a week.)...I use the net to find Educational Resources, shop, bid, play games, email, blog, find cllipart, read news, do the chatroom thing one or two times a week...(a chatroom i've gone to for years).. and just regular ol' surfing... Is this sufficient enough for someone to declare me a net addict?...I will fully admit when i first started getting online four years ago, I wou...
