It has been a struggle producing pages to read or write. I had to decide if I wanted this to be a journal/diary or my general observation of my environment. Well, I heard the most delightful quote the other day. It was on my absolute Favorite prime time TV show.
It goes as followed (quote: Better to write for yourself and have no public, then to write for the Public and have no self. end quote) Isn't that just delicious? It is a nutshell of how I have felt for so long. Now granted, my actual journal pages are more mean and to the point, but I have several rants and rails in this blog. The title; in itself, speaks to my mindset on how I view the world currently.
There is so much going on today, that it consumes yesterday and over runs tomorrow. It like a mad rush going no where fast.
From Kony, to religious freedom and health care. To Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman.
It would seem that we are purposely hurdling ourselves into the darkness, in this year of 2012. What, according to the Mayan calendar is the last breathe of mankind and the world as we know it.
Orwell gave us 1984, a two digit switch of 1948. Y2K, was suppose to leave us in utter chaotic darkness, and now this dark passage is upon us.
It is hard to focus on the Light in this world, when the Darkness is forever trying to consume you and make you lose sight of the Light. We are easily distracted by shiny empty baubles. Man made baubles mind you. Items that aren't built to last, but plague us with that temporary fix attitude. Let the future deal with it. Let us live for the now.
I personally would like to learn to live for tomorrow. To be packed and ready for that great, grand journey called Eternity. Right now I feel like I am in a holding pattern, watching the TSA agent go through my stuff and then walk off with it.

Running throught the sprinklers
It would seem very little puts a smile on my face. I am a certified cynic. A pure pessimistic person.
You see the rainbow, I see the rain. You see a lovely garden, I see the dirt and manure that makes that garden.
I often wonder how I got this way.
It had to happened over time, because I do vaguely recall those wonderful years when I'd laughed my butt off at knock knock jokes.
When did I turn in my Joy Life card?
Was it when I turned 21, when I was legally able to have a beer?
Was it when I turned 18, when I was able to vote.
Or was it when I was 16, when I got my license to drive?
I believe I relinquished my Joy Life card when I decided to stop playing.
It just kinda went poof, when I ceased taking off the school uniform, put on my play clothes and go out and hoop and holla like a 4 yr. old at the park.
Waiting for school to be done, so that I could waste my summer away riding a bike, going to the zoo, staying out side until the streetlights came on and the moon came out.
Or eating Popsicles, because they were deliciously bad for you and the size of your head.
Yet, as I look out my window, I see the sun shining and there is a spring like breeze blowing. The earth has allowed the plants to sprout and poke their little heads out of the ground.
Yes, Spring is coming and the world is looking rosy.
I realize that I have been bless with yet another day above ground and I am glad for it.
SO BRING ON THE SPRING!!

in the balance
Currently on my radar is a villain named Joseph Kony. He is a coward in Uganda, Africa.
He and his rebel army steal children in the night from their homes and uses them for his gain.
The young boys that he abducts, he turns into fighters. The young girls, sex slaves.
They are forced to exterminate their families; mothers, fathers or guardians, so that they are solely dependant on him for their lives. He is a sick twisted cruel man, whose only reason to fight is to keep himself in power.There isn't any oil, gold, or wealth to be gained or lost. He does it to simply terrorize the people of Africa!
What boggles the mind, is the fact that we haven't intervened to stop him from committing these atrocities against humanity. One wonders why? One would conclude, because there is no gold, oil or desired natural resource that we can use as a bargaining chip? nah, that ain't it. Could it be that we have people of interest that could benefit us? umm no.
He has been at it for 26 years. 26 year of ruining childrens' lives and the destruction of peaceful living.
What needs to happen is the US of A needs to send troops to surgical cut this man from the face of earth and send his blacken soul to the hereafter.
How is it, that this injustice was allowed to go on so long, when U.S military boots have hit foreign soil for less egregious offenses? Where are our priorities, when we dictate our fancies for justice,for crude oil or other commerce or the placing in powerful positions, individuals that would support the US?
You ask " what is in the balance?" What is in the balance if this man is allowed to run afoul of justice unchecked? The balance is how we are perceived in history, how we look at ourselves and how we justify our going into foreign soil for a greed.

give an idiot a microphone...
Why is Rush Limbaugh still alive and on the radio?
The scandal currently swirling around this black hole of venom, is that he called a law student a slut and a prostitute.
Simply because; she argued on the Hill, that birth control/contraception should be free. That Health insurance should provide for this needed medicine.
The whole argument of religious freedom, health care and women's issues has gotten snarled up into the political machine, and the group that should have the majority say on the debate, are being ignored!
(see my 2nd. blog to know my thoughts)
How does one rationalize a person's morals and character trait; because Sandra Flukes, feels that health care should provide assistance in gaining access to birth control, a reason to call her a slut or prostitute?
He then ended his dirty rant with, if all the Georgetown Femnazi want him to pay for their birth control, they should provide sex tapes!
This disgusting pig ( an insult to pigs--mind you!), should be taken out and shot in his melon.
So Rush, you like porn?
Your a Viagra taking, impotent braying dumb jackass who feels that he has a say on the matter of women's health. Your mother probably wishes she kept an aspirin between her knees or at least died in child birth!
What street cred you assumed you had was lost, when it turns out you were addicted to Oxycontin and whatever other drug you shovelled into your pie hole!
You sick dumb twist of useless flesh and bone!
Why do people listen to this juggernaut? It would seem that all he does is instigate and fuel matters that have simple situations.
Matters that don't concern him or pertain to him.
Once the political scene "calms the FUCK down" 2012 will be a grand year!
If it continues to slide into the eternal toilet, then that Mayan Calendar prediction ain't such a bad thing ;>
side note: though the Catholic/ Jesuit institution did not agree with Ms. Fluke, they recognized her right to express it and fight for it.

buhbye winter
Let's talk about something FUN!
Did you get a load of the gorgeous summer weather that we had today!!
Oh man, all I saw was sunshine and blue skies.
The crocus peeping their wee heads up to take in the rays.
There is nothing like Spring springing up like an overly sugared 3yr old running through the sprinklers.
The day just screamed top down road trip, porch swing sitting, sipping your fav beverage and saying howdy to your neighbor and meaning it.
I am looking forward to this Summer.
I feel that this will be a very exciting year.
All the things that seem to be weighing me down, will melt like butter sitting on the breakfast nook table.
I am so ready to rediscover the seriousness I possessed at playing hard, like when I was a child.
This May, I will be apart of a group of grown ups, that will raise a Ruckus!!
4 miles and various obstacles challenges, that allow you to hoop, holler and get dirty.
So let us bring on the Sun, Fun and general Jovial happiness that comes with being alive!

Does God have a happy face ?
So!
Did you hear about the priest that showed his arrogance at a funeral?
He refused to give Communion to the deceased woman's daughter because she was a lesbian.
He even went as far as to walk off the altar when the daughter went to give the eulogy!
I am constantly amazed how Man, puts himself before God.
Interpreting( incorrectly), God's Word and Intentions.
If it isn't the homosexual debate, it is the unborn argument.
It makes me tired that the person that is suppose to be my spiritual conduit to Christ can be morally bankrupt.
This behavior kept me out of Church for 20 years. Until finally; I just agreed that I could not allow Man, the shallow self-serving callow arrogant beast that he is, to keep me from God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
I know that not all priest, nuns, and those that give their life in service to the Church aren't douche bags. It would be awful nice to see a Serpico come out among one of them and power drive all the bad apples out.
side note: the woman was raised Catholic, was a practicing Catholic and even practice the teachings of Jesus.
