The Islander

An old man by a seashoreAt the end of dayGazes the horizonWith seawinds in his faceTempest-tossed islandSeasons all the sameAnchorage unpaintedAnd a ship without a name Sea without a shore for the banished one unheardHe lightens the beacon, light at the end of worldShowing the way lighting hope in their heartsThe ones on their travels homeward from afar This is for long-forgottenLight at the end of the worldHorizon cryingThe tears he left behind long ago The albatross is flyingMaking him daydreamThe time before he becameOne of the world`s unseenPrincess in the towerChildren in the fieldsLife gave him it all:An island of the universe Now his love`s a memoryA ghost in the fogHe sets the sails one last timeSaying farewell to the worldAnchor to the waterSeabed far belowGrass still in his feetAnd a smile beneath his brow This is for long-forgottenLight at the end of the worldHorizon cryingThe tears he left behind so long ago-Nightwish-----------------------------------------------------------------

What can I do?

* For those who french is a little rusty.... "to sign (signing) petitions against capital punishment can save lives *
--------------------------------------------------------------

Don't just sit there and ignore that around you. FEEL, ACT, DO!!

There is more to life then becoming apathetic to the screams around you. FEEL, ACT, DO!!

I beg, I plead for those without a voice. FEEL, ACT, DO!!

I will be that candle in the darkness of no light. FEEL, ACT, DO!!

Join me in the warmth of compassion and fight. FEEL, ACT, DO!!

Closet Land (The Movie)

I suppose it is the fact that I have been so hot lately, i'll just post this movie. All I simply ask is: WATCH IT !! I think it describes all that is messed up in this world and the small lights that sometimes shine through... plus it has Alan Rickman, and where would this world be without being graced by his wonderful acting. He is one classy (rick)MAN!!!
Eloquently put, this movie is utter utter brilliance hands down.

What does it mean to be humane?

"An eye for an eye will just end up making the whole world blind" -Mahatma K. Gandhi

I wonder as one sits here reading what I am sure they believe are nothing more than my mundane words can feel this is an okay occurrence on this planet. We are apparently an evolved species, something more than animals. But we are nothing more... Can we not rise above all of this?

I cannot believe there are so many people out there who believe this is an acceptable why to deal with 'crimes' , The way I see it, the death penalty is no more humane than is rape, murder, etc. See how atrocious that sounds?!

'Yes, well he/she deserved it for the crimes they committed', tell me then if you or a loved one was sentenced to death (innocent or not) would you believe that capital punishment is/was the right solution?

The Death penalty may be curing a symptom , but not the disease!!

Speak out and actually stand up for what you believe, apathy is a dangerous thing!!

Alanis' Humps

and this is why we love Alanis... oh Alanis... I am not worthy!!

I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner....

You took my heart, you took my soul... and for the longest time, all I thought, it was you who was eating my p..... pride.
