samhain
Fire red, summer’s dead,
Yet shall it return.
Clear and bright in the night,
Burn, fire, burn!
Dance the ring, luck to bring,
When the year’s aturning.
Chant the rhyme at Hallowstime,
When the fire’s burning.

Look on Me
“Look on me as you pass by,
As you are now, so once was I.
As I am now, soon you will be,
Prepare for death and follow me.”

Al Gore wins Nobel Peace Prize!
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2007 is to be shared, in two equal parts, between the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Albert Arnold (Al) Gore Jr. for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change.

the beat
Red White Blue.
Walkin’, talkin’, runnin’ my mouth. Can’t you see that this is the way? I wake up and grind, just another few hours and then, in my wildest, craziest, un-appreciated way I start something new. What can we call this? Why must we do the same thing over and over, day after day - my heart and head grow older (wiser?), the beat goes on.
Jump! Rise up! Let the thoughts flow. It’s like a honeycomb of ideas and light, light me up, light us all up! It’s not the ignorance or intolerance, it’s the money stupid! All hail the mighty shiv that is our God - let us be saved by the paper and metal that is what we are all about. Stop thinking - start being real. (dum-tek)
That rusty nail has been stalking me - that oh-so-not what I need keeps calling me - I keep going back to what is comfortable. Break away from it - Break out of it - Just keep on thinking that the sugar plum fairy will knead us into what is necessary. That sweet, sweet, sickly sweet smell coming from the oven is not what you think it is.
All Gods and Light - Just stop the power - take something back - let it flow (or not). I dream in blackness. (tek-Dum-tek)
Smile, godless creature - you are.(?)

Stand Up
Do not lie down!
The time has almost arrived for us to be strong and sacrifice. We must give everything including our own lives so that we WILL NOT be prisoners of the hypocrisies of this state of fear!
Rebel! Speak out! Let go of the fear. No one can control what YOU think.
Act.
quote
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police. Yet in their hearts there is unspoken - unspeakable! - fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts! Words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home, all the more powerful because they are forbidden. These terrify them. A little mouse - a little tiny mouse! - of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
-Winston Churchill

feeling anxious
Maybe the coffee, maybe just life in general - Feeling rather anxious this morning. Work seems overwhelming. I don’t know what to do about everything. I sometimes feel lost in this world - I eventually will find myself, but for now things are falling.
This place was relaxing. I will focus on this today.

Okay
Today has been slightly stressful. Life in general has been good - finances have been tight lately, but that just means that I will make cuts on things that are not necessary.
That brings up a good point - I think that some of the stress that I feel comes from my life falling apart. It’s really not all that bad, but a lot of little things not being taken care of can lead to a big, stressful life experience.
