War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning
_{by Chris Hedges}

This is my book of the moment. Originally, I picked it up merely as a curiousity. It has become much more. For a journalist, he does a wonderful job of breaking down centuries of philosophic thought of war into small chunks. It is something that can easily be read without stopping for understanding. (Oh Kant how I loathe you.)

Good quotes from the book thus far:

"War is exposed for what it is-organized murder."

"The potency of myth is that it allows us to make sense of mayhem and violent death."



On An Unrelated Note:

You are a coward. (You know who you are.)

Just a reminder:

I am god.



_{Just in case you forgot. If you question my display, I will simply say that it is clear. It is much better than composing a euphonious cacophany that would become a meaningless and never-ending opus of pseudo-intellectuality.}

Enveloped in a sentiment
A sound that rushes over me
Engage an impulse to pretend
I have a faith as pure
Not forgetting what it means to dream
Indulging everything
Entertaining thoughts that I've the strength
Of those I yearn to be
Cheers and tribute greet the saviours
Reckless thoughts survive
Anachronistic and impulsive
And what will happen
Will I dream
I am too scared
To close my eyes
For a second please hold me

Happy Anniversary

Fixing Computers

So at the moment I have to fix my fathers computer again. It is kinda funny how often I have had to fix this, and everytime that I let someone else use it the damn thing gets fouled up again. Oh well, I suppose that is the fun prt of fixing something. By that I mean it is fun to watch someone destroy a couple hours of work that you have put into making something work right. Hehe...oh well. If I was not fixing this thing I would more than likely be sitting around reading something. We all know what happens when I read something, I start talking about it non-stop and I annoy everyone. That is not always the best thing to have happen you know. Enough with the nerd.

Games to Keep You Busy:

The Immigration Game
Breeder
Goldfish Frying


Yes, that is what I do all the time when I tell you that I am doing nothing. Sometimes they are the games that I am playing when I tell you that I am rolling on the floor. Anyhow...

So, today was another wonderful and beautiful spring day. All the stuff outside is starting to grow and the day smells all nice when I wake up. It is wonderful to have a window open all the time and to smell the fresh air. That is one of the major reasons that I am happy I live ina rural area. Though when I have to drive to find something to do and kill the environment that I love so much it is kinda a self-terminating system.

Blogger has not been working with my updates. I wonder if this one will work.

Just a note: The blood on the bandage is real, the red on my arm is ink not blood. I have been asked that a lot.

Anyhow, Easter with the family was great. You thought you would never hear this, but here it is: I enjoyed church. It was great to go and be with family and experience it. Those of you who know me know I don't believe in it at all and normally I would hate it. Today it was great though. I liked to be there to experience what inspires other people. It is just interesting to watch from the sidelines. I met a new cousin today. I have not seen him before, and he brought his entire family. His wife was awesome, and their three kids were so much fun. Family is great. :)

A note:

The red on the bandage is blood. The red on my arm is ink. The images are blurry, oh well. It is a crow with a red setting sun-like background. Crows are messengers to the spirit world. They carry a soul from life into the afterlife. The crow is a guardian. The red of a setting sun is a reminder that everything ends. What I do now is what matters, and I want to make the most of everything. :) That is me though. Now you all know what it stands for.

This is day two of having it. The skin is healing quickly. I am surprised at how much i enjoy it. **shrugs**

A Definition:

Someone once asked me what punk rock was. I kicked over a trash can and told him THAT was punk rock. He then kicked over another trash can and declared, "I am punk rock." I promptly informed him that he was not punk rock, he was a copycat.

(Thank you Greggy for that one.)


Yeah the pictures of my tattoo do not show much detail...the actual tattoo has nice detail though. The red is ink, not blood. The red on the bandage is blood though. Yay for bleeding. I think that is all I have for now. Out with Smithy and Stephie tonight. I dunno what were are doing though.

Tomorrow:

Tomorrow I get my fourth tattoo. Yay. Because of my schedule I have to get it before work. That should be fun. I love work. Work is fun. That is all I have to say about that.

I just think this song is pretty...i cut out some of the chorus but you can deal with it.


remember all the times that we used to play
you were lost and i would save you
i dont think those feelings will ever fade
you were born apart of me
i was never good at hiding anything
my thoughts break me
do you undersatnd what you mean to me
you are my faith

when i sit and think of the DAYS we shared
and the nights you covered for me
every little thing that i ever did
you would stand by me
ever time you cried it would take my wind
my heart would break
if i could be strong like you would for me
you are my faith

wont you cure my tragedy
wont you cure my tragedy (tragedy)
dont take her smile away from me
shes broken and I'M FAR away
wont you cure my tragedy
wont you cure my tragedy
if you made the WORLD a stage for me
then i hope that you can hear me scream
i cant take this anymore
i cant feel this anymore
wont you take and give her pain to me
cuz my whole life I'VE made mistakes
can you hear me scream

Seder

You know, I am a very lucky guy. I have two families. One of them is the family that I am born into, the big German/English family. There is a lot of love there. More than I might ever need, but I have another family. One that loves me just the same. I wasn't born into it though, I was blessed with it. I just had seder with them this evening, and I felt like one of the family, even though I am not Jewish and had to have Julie point out what part of the reading we were at during the Hebrew reading. I am just one lucky guy. :)


Ok this is the only 'normal' picture of me that I have on my computer.

And Now for Some Links:

New Nukes?
I'm A Nazi
