Sowelu traditionally represents vibrant and lively energy, and utter and complete wholeness and happiness.

I don't understand...

Sun, 14 Dec 2008 23:52:35 GMT

Today has been horrible. Terrible. Awful. Nothing has gone right. Murphy's Law has worked it's own proofs into every detail of the day. I ache. I'm tired. I'm sore. I feel like my body is trying to kill me. Everything I've tried to entertain myself with today has developed a malfunction, and my eyes are having trouble focusing.

Yet, with all that, just the thought of you is enough to make me smile. Even on a day like today.

I don't understand that.

I'm not sure I ever will.

But, it's nice.

Your Song...

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 16:29:06 GMT

I thought about writing you a song, but we were taught long ago that there's no reason to find a new way to say something that's already been said better, so I'll let Elton and Bernie take care of it, dearheart.

I love you, y'know. Even if you're dumb enough to think I don't. ;)

=======================================

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside.
I'm not one of those who can easily hide.
I don't have much money, but boy, if I did,
I'd buy a big house where we both could live.

If I was a sculptor...but then again, no.
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show.
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do.
My gift is my song, and this one's for you.

And you can tell everybody that this is your song.
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind,
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
how wonderful life is while you're in the world.

I sat on the roof and I kicked off the moss.
A few of these verses, they've got me quite cross.
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote that song.
It's for people like you that keep it turned on.

So, excuse me forgetting, but these things I do.
Y'see, I forgot if they're green or they're blue...
Anyway, the thing is...well, what I really mean..
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen.

You can tell everybody this is your song.
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done..
I hope you don't mind,
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words,
how wonderful life is while you're in the world.

I hope you don't mind......I hope you don't mind
that I put down in words
how wonderful life is while you're in the world.

Re: "Turkey Day."

Fri, 28 Nov 2008 00:55:30 GMT

It's "THANKSGIVING" for a reason.

It's a period in which we give thanks, to whatever higher power (should we choose to acknowledge one) we choose for all the wonderful, bountiful blessings in our lives.

Calling it "turkey day" is just as offensive, in my opinion, as just as offensive as ignoring the religious significance of Hannukah or Christmas by sanitizing it to "Happy Holidays."

Don't wish me a "happy turkey day." I find it terribly callous. Wish me a happy "Thanksgiving", or get the fuck out of my face.

I'm old, I'm crotchety, and I'm religious as hell.

Deal with it.

Writer's Block: Department of Stereotypes

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 18:31:26 GMT

One of the most popular gender stereotypes is that women ask for directions while men would rather be lost than ask for help. In your personal experience, does this stereotype hold true?

View 500 Answers

Yeah, actually. While my friends and I are intelligent men, and understand the need for directions now and again, once we pull over, nobody wants to go in and ask. We just wind up driving away again and hunting s'more. I guess it's because we don't want to seem weak through lack of proper preparation.

About Obama...

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 19:57:58 GMT

Let me first say that most of you know I'm a die-hard Republican. Those of you who don't might be shocked by the realization, mostly because I'm always broke, but still. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that I voted the McCain/Palin ticket, a fact I'm not ashamed of in the slightest. This is not, however, a message borne out of the bitterness of defeat. In point of fact, I wish Barack Obama the best in the White House in the coming term. He was elected in our democratic republic via established means, and therefore has the full honor of knowing he won this election because the people support him. May that support not falter. It is, instead, an open letter to everyone who's openly gloated about this victory, in my face, for all the wrong reasons all day.

I will continue by saying that no matter how you voted, I'm simply glad that you did. If you didn't, and you were able, you should be quite ashamed of yourself. It isn't just a right, it's a civic duty and a responsibility. I will also assure the lot of you that I am no more racist than anyone else, but I won't say I'm not at all. After all, like Kate Monster is so fond of singing, everyone's a little bit racist.

To the heart of the matter:

I am terribly sick of everyone claiming that the impossible was done last night. I'm sick of people blindly praising Barack Obama for doing something "revolutionary", or "being so brave", or any of that other nonsense simply because he's black. I turned off the television in the middle of an election last night for the first time in twenty years because the entirety of the liberal media played the "race card" all night instead of devoting time to Obama's character and platform.

I don't believe Barack Obama is a revolutionary. I don't think it took any particular courage to run, and I don't believe that the first black President did anything super-special to get there except the same thing that all his white predecessors had done. I don't believe I should've been subjected to an entire evening of "let's all relive our hardships" simply because a black man was running for office. Did you guys miss Alan Keyes eight years ago? Do I need to remind you that I've been preaching since before Clinton was elected that Colin Powell should be our next president?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding things, but I always thought "equality" meant "everybody gets treated the same." Apparently, that's not the case, and I totally missed the part of the show where our entire nation took on the Animal Farm notion that equality really means "some are more equal than others."

Perhaps I'm just a bigoted cracker, but I personally find the whole grounds for celebration to be self-deprecating in nature. "Yay, a black man won the election!" seems like a step backward, as it implies he couldn't have done so with the same platform if he were white. I believe that doesn't show much support in Obama's beliefs themselves, but rather that the American people thought "a black guy would bring change."

This is the same thinking that keeps the United Negro College Fund, which was terribly necessary in the middle of the last century, in place as a monument to segregation. It's the same line of thinking that keeps BET on the air when an equivalent from descendants of western Europeans would be tagged as "racist" and "bigoted". This is the same line of thinking that has yet to completely abolish Affirmative Action, the most racist concept to invade western business in centuries.

If we truly want equality, and we should, then we should all be the exact same amount of equal. I shouldn't owe you a damn thing, and you shouldn't owe me. We should judge each other based on our merits and flaws as people, rather than our skin color, national origin, gender, creed, or sexual orientation.

But that's not what the minorities really want, apparently, as they keep jockeying for special treatment and calling it "equality."

What the fuck?

What does love mean to you, and why? Have you always felt this way?

Submitted By rynanne

View 500 Answers

Love, to me, is sacrifice. It's giving someone everything they want, even if it takes all you've got. It means giving someone everything they need to completely destroy you, and trusting that they'll never do it. Love is when you place someone else's feelings and needs above yours all the time, whether they ask you to or not. Love is not dependency, love is not a crutch, love is two people walking arm-in-arm, side-by-side, equal weight and footing, down the road of life, determined to handle everything together. Love is strength when you are weak, love is faith when you've lost your way, love is the light in your darkness, and love is the echo of your heart.

Love is that little piece of you that you've been missing since you were born, and now you've found it in someone else.

Love is grand.
