New Delhi Explosion

Religious Killings

Caped Killer

The world's in repair.

strain.

it's been like this for a while
the cutting in the cutting out
it's become an enemy
with horns with wings with smiles
it's the strain of it all.

I don't know

Brilliance.

So I walked aways today.
Early morning snow was falling, lightly and softly.
East or west the sky was gray.

You were always there for me.
Open and closing.
Underneath it all, I got a ride in a car, to the place where I came from.

Fell down and hurt my head, hurt my heart.
Always doing some work.
Lost a bunch of CD's in the car, lost a whole bunch more.
License plate was smashed up, front more than back.


Brilliantly in more ways then one.
Realized it was almost like my head.
Inside my heart.
Like rabid dogs roaming the wild.
Like the gasoline that fuels as all.
In a way, it was almost like my mind.
Almost poisonous.
Never poisonous.
Coming home to Friday soon.
Early morning and I'm still awake.

Tonight's the night that the world will begin again.

Just a chance that we'll find better days. So take these words, sing out loud, and don't stand for this.

This is no simple reform. It really is a revolution. Sex and race because they are easy visible differences have been the primary ways of organizing human beings into superior and inferior groups and into the cheap labor on which the system still depends. We are talking about a society in which there will be no roles except those chosen or earned. We are talking about a revolution. Gloria Steinem, 1978.

A Worse Violence Than Guns

would you forgive me?

here comes the rain
Bigfoot

Protests left and right until protests are just the precursor to violence. Too much protests and too much violence will lead to a jaded realitic state. What ever happened to the concept of protests?

Charities left and right until charities are just the precursor to the handing out of money, for either good means or fraudulent means. Too much charities and too much money will lead to a jaded realitic state. What ever happened to the concept of charity?

It's a tricky thing - 40,000 in Asia. A fraction died in New Orleans. Who will get more aid? Who will get more food? Who will get more money? Both situations require the same amount of help and the same fairness. But that will never happen.

Cheap drugs to combat avian bird flu. I already forgot the name.

Forgive me cause you know, forgive you cause I know and I say that this life is waiting, I thought I'd live forever, I thought I'd never see you, I thought I'd sing forever.

Nearly a long goodbye.

lucky to be alive.

car crash, end of your day, at the side of the road. you were swerving much too late, you were swerving too much late.

cars backed up into the wall of fire.

the only thing that separated me, the next life, and a meeting with the one above or below was a concrete barrier and a sheet of metal.

You need me at night, inside, and all the time.

Bullshit, as if what I needed was accumulative interest on my student loan. I thought the six month grace period after graduation was interest-free. Oh well, that's what you get when you trust government at prime plus three percent interest.

Steady, reliable, and cradling her tenderly. Take a deep breath, and let it out real easy...you are The Slow Dancer. Your focus is love, not sex, and for your age, you have average experience. But you're a great, thoughtful guy, and your love life improves every year. There's also a powerful elimination process working in your favor: most Playboy types get stuck raising unwanted kids before you even begin settling down. The women left over will be hot and yours. Your ideal woman is someone intimate, intelligent, and very supportive. While you're not exactly the life of the party, you do thrive in small groups of smart people. Your circle of friends is extra tight and it's HIGHLY likely they're just like you. You appreciate symmetry in relationships.

You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness.

lucky.

Minutemen
Just who the hell do these goofs think they are? Funny how they talk about stopping immigrants and not the illegal drug trade, and not keeping in mind that most immigrants are just trying to get a better life. Hell, if you're into the conspiracy theories, my theory is that the Minutemen are smuggling drugs themselves.

China Economy

Apparently, gangs and thugs and drugs are rampant. Sketchy times. What's even more sketchy is the economic riff between rich and poor in China, as well as the environmental policies. Better make sure there's no smog in 2008, let alone for the continuation of 2005. Communism never looked better compared to capitalism.

We're lucky to have what we have, to walk to the grocery store, to be able to buy groceries, to cook a hot dinner, to eat the food we eat, to take a hot shower, to breathe fresh air, to feel the rain splashing down on your face, to mix some sangria, to go to the bar, to have a shot of tequila, to drink hot coffee, to relax on the sofa, to complain about work, to ridicule gas prices, to love one another, to give to charity, to say no, to lie, to be honest, to laugh, to smile, to cry, to dream of the future, to remember the past, to live in the present.

Rest your heart, we'll keep soldiering on.
