I wish Barack Obama only and always the best. I believe that he'll lead this country to again do great things in the world and be a light to other people and nations. <br /><br />Good luck and be always vigilant, Barack. There are still people here who want to see you fail. Not that many, I hope, but enough. Pay them no mind. You had that beatific smile on your face on Sunday. I know that comes from your heart. I won't always agree with you, and I don't think you're perfect by any means. You are, however, the best person to lead this country at this time. From a grateful and happy American. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:galacticowl:9692 2008-12-31T16:04:45Z 2009-01-02T10:23:28Z Suede "Trash" For a lot of people, this year will go down as a bad one. For me, it will go down as the year the people spoke and we finally got a president who I believe will help us here and in the world. One who cares about this country and all Americans. <br /><br />It was also the year that I learned, more than ever before, how much I need true friendship and how phoney and horrible some people can be. I love my true friends. The ones who aren't my true friends, you can go take a flying leap, or as Dad used to say, a long walk off a short pier. <br /><br />I'm genuinely sorry for any hardships that any of my enemies, (you know who you are and you ARE my enemies), had to go through this year. I don't wish hardship or pain on anyone. Your own hypocrisy and inability to be nice to people who are nice to you will get you in the end. You wouldn't know loyalty if it bit you in the ass, but I do. You all actually thought you could turn on someone who has been a better friend to me than you know how to be to anyone, and I would take it lying down and then not tell that person? I don't think so. You were really that out of touch with reality but that doesn't surprise me. It does, however, make me laugh. <br /><br />Speaking of laughter, you do realize that people all over the world can see your pictures and your vids on YouTube and all the other stuff you put on the net? I'll let you guess what I'm talking about, but I'll bet you know. That stuff is the best comedy of this or any year! You can't buy entertainment like that. ;) <br /><br />I've also learned that some people who I thought were my friends would rather imagine that they're in the life of someone famous and get rid of me as a friend. You also know who you are and if you don't, too bad. I feel sorry for the next sucker who comes into your lair. I wonder if that person will sit back and let you take a live journal site that they helped start and worked on and felt good about and even paid for, right out from under their feet? It will be interesting to see if that ever happens again. I doubt it as most people I talk to about you and who know all of you are hip to your antics. <br /><br />I also wonder, (but I don't spend too much thinking about it as I have much nicer things and people to think about), how you're all going to function when certain tv shows are off the air and you don't see or hear of your beloved certain person so much? How many break downs will there be? But remember, I don't think about it too much, because as my grandmother used to say, of a thousand thoughts, you're my last. <br /><br />I would say that frienships were broken up this year, and on the surface they were, but they weren't real friendships so they don't matter. I now see that when something really great happened to a certain person, well, that's when the use job contingent swooped in. Don't you worry, we all know when that was and who it was who used who. Good luck using the next person. I hope for all their sakes they're not as dumb as we were. <br /><br />Have a good 2009 former "friends". All I can wish for you is that you have the same kind of <br />2009 that you tried to give us in 2008. You didn't succeed though, never think that. Instead of ending the year put down and feeling sad, I have wonderful friends now, who really care about me and all the other people you don't like. We're all refugess from that place on the net where our ideas, thoughts and feelings weren't good enough to be on there anymore. You gave it all up for a tv show and a bunch of rude, threatening, harassing freaks. As much as I dislike you all, I hope you don't have to ever see the kind of emails that those freaks sent me, calling me names such as "cunt." Would you like to read that? I don't think so. They're a bunch of pussies though who would never have the guts to say any of that awful stuff to my face. The shame if it all: they breed! <br /><br />All over a tv show! Newsflash: tv shows don't last. What a bunch you are! You all deserve each other. <br /><br />Happy New Year! Laughing My Ass Off! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:galacticowl:9389 2008-11-17T05:07:20Z 2008-11-17T05:07:20Z Happy Birthday Velvet Dream! <br /><br />Enjoy your special day! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.pixages.com"><img border="0" src="http://pixages.com/birthday_penguin.gif" alt="Glitter Graphics Codes from Pixages.com"></a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:galacticowl:8988 2008-08-08T09:55:51Z 2008-08-08T09:55:51Z Girls Just Want to Have Fun I still can't get over the fact that the Olympics are bing held in a country where people serve dogs on the menu and the people who care, (and there are plenty!), have more than likely been told to stay home by the Chinese government. I also hope no one dies over there from the horrible pollution. Love how they got pissed off at the atheletes who arrived wearing masks. I'd be wearing a hot suit if I had go to over there. <br /><br />I'm giving the opening ceremonies a pass, but I'll probably watch the basketball, some soccar, swimming, diving and my favorite, synchronized swimming. I know it's corny but Mom and I always watched it and she was such a good swimmer that I think she used to imagine herself in the pool doing the routines!<br /><br />On to some fun stuff. There are some very deluded people out there who can't find something that you can download. It's a riot watching them squirm. The funny thing? All the people they would hate, have it. LOL! Good luck finding it, since anyone with half a brain can but you can't. Says something about the fans of a certain show. And what it says isn't good! :)<br /><br />Speaking of shows, I'm obsessed with Mad Men. I love it like I haven't a show in a long time. It brings back so many memories of being a kid watching my parents and feeling secure knowing they would take care of everything. I don't think kids feel like that today, although I hope Trevor did. I think he did. <br /><br />Speaking of Trevor, we've been getting along a lot better lately. He's been helping me very much this week and it's been much appreciated.<br /><br />One of my f-list friends, argh-jim, has an entry about Robert Hazard. He passed away. I can't believe it. Another one of our generation gone. Not that he was the greatest musician ever but he was good and I'll always remember him for Girl's Just Want to Have Fun. Sad news. That song represented so much of the eighties for me. I want the title on my own tombstone. Morbid? Maybe. R.I.P Robert. I'll always remember you at the party at Linda's house. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:galacticowl:8838 2008-07-04T07:17:49Z 2008-07-04T07:17:49Z Mary's Prayer Meet Danny Wilson pet_lunatic wrote:<br /><br />Jul. 3rd, 2008 07:04 pm (local)<br />;D You have some cool interesting icons...I picked these ones:<br /><br /><a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/galacticowl/pic/0000ddgh/"><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/galacticowl/pic/0000ddgh/s320x240" width="243" height="240" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I'm not by any means an iconmaker but if I see a picture I really like I'll just do the most basic thing right here on livejournal. This is a photo of a female cat who was born in a railway station in Japan that was losing ridership. The station was going to be closed when one of the railway employees decided to put her in the window ona pillow. People started flocking in and she was given a uniform and the position of stationmaster. Her name is Tama. Some stories say she's a stray but I like the story that says she was born in the station. Her story has made Wikipedia. I love cats and loved te idea of her job and her uniform, so here she is. Here's another story about her and another picture:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.gimundo.com/Articles/Daily/1072/10/06/2008/Cat_Is_Station_Master_For_Japanese_Train_Station">http://www.gimundo.com/Articles/Daily/1072/10/06/2008/Cat_Is_Station_Master_For_Japanese_Train_Station</a><br /><br />When I see her pictures I feel happy! <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/galacticowl/pic/0000ezyq/"><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/galacticowl/pic/0000ezyq" width="100" height="100" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This is a picture of Phil that was made into an icon by Not Ninja Style, iconsinprogress. She makes great icons! It was taken on the set of LOM, season one, and he was reading a newspaper, sitting next to John who was reading a newspaper. He looks relaxed, quiet, himself, confident, just lovely. One of my all time favorite pictures of him. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/galacticowl/pic/0000ff17/"><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/galacticowl/pic/0000ff17" width="100" height="100" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This was also made by iconsinprogress. It's Phil as Byron's servent in the movie, Byron. He's so peaceful here, he looks like a little boy, that's what I love about this one, and the colors of it.

It's a picture of a Welsh Corgi I got from The Daily Puppy website. Everyday there are different pictures of puppies and one day, pictures of Teddy were the pictures of the day. I love Welsh Corgis. I would never buy a dog, there are too many shelter dogs who need homes but if I found a corgi in a shelter, that dog would be mine! I just adore their bright faces and their little legs. They're like small collies.

I should say I USED to get upset. I got upset at a lot of the phony asskissing I see but that's ok. The reason it's ok is that the people doing all that will never, EVER have a moment like one of the many I've had in my life and all my friends have had too. <br /><br />They've never: <br /><br />Seen snow flakes on a guy's eyelids and eyelashes while the the snow came down in February in New York in the early eighties, and say to yourself that that moment will never come again so you need to remember it. <br /><br />Watch another guy from the same band, (I don't want to say the band's name since anyone reading this who doesn't know me might think I'm lying and I am most definitely not lying), jumping around like a kid, then stops to pose for a picture with the steam from a vent all around him in the dead of winter. The smoke from the vent mixed with the smoke coming out of his mouth and went right up to the sky. <br /><br />Watched someone you had fallen in love with get on a bus and leave and then not see them again for 23 years. You know what an ocean between you would do to you then? Not just make you make noises, but make you cry so much you could fill the damn ocean over all that time! <br /><br />There are so many moments like that in my life. Moments when I could have pulled stars down from the sky I was so happy. Days and nights spent on the beach, the days playing in soft sand and dipping my toes into the ocean or when I was older body surfing in the rush of a wave. The wave enveloping me and I wasn't even afraid! The nights spent under the stars looking out over the curve of the earth that you knew was there and couldn't see. There were beaches then were you could have a bonfire and roast hotdogs and play guitar and sing. <br /><br />It might sound selfish of me to write about moments like this but no one has to read this if they don't want to. I don't think too many people read this anyway and that's not a cry for anyone to start reading it. This is for me. <br /><br />I wish I could say I feel sorry for all those who have no life but I don't. They get too much enjoyment when they're lording it over everyone else for me to feel sorry for them. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:galacticowl:7455 2008-04-05T06:07:14Z 2008-04-05T06:10:57Z Buzzcocks 1.

I won't be upset. <br /><br />My eyes and ears have just been blighted by the sight and sound of Hilary the Queen (as she thinks she is)in the by now famous campaign speech where she goes on about how she has a lifetime of experience (doing what exactly Hilary?) I know Obama was a law professor but before you married Bill in order to ride his coat tails all the way to the White House, can you please tell me and the many other 52 year old white women who don't fall into your oh so neatly laid out demographics, of what your much vaunted experience actually consists? <br /><br />According to you, oh Pant Suited One, you and John McCain have a lifetime of stuff you've done and Obama has a speech. If that's the case, why don't you leave the Democratic Party, (if only!) and join the Republicsns. That way you can be his vice president. Won't that be cool? <br /><br />You'd make me laugh if you didn't make me so sick. You think the nomination is your birthright. I'd like to know what other women Democratic senators who have worked long and hard to get where they are think of you and your "birthright." Not much I'd guess. <br /><br />You'd make me laugh Hilary, if you didn't get up there tonight, in Ohio, acting like you just became President of the world. Let me tell you something. Not all parts of this country like you as much as they seem to in Ohio and you'd better enjoy it while it lasts. You couldn't hope to do a speech as inspiring as what Obama said tonight. You don't have it in you. I'm surprised you didn't come out and do the royal wave like you usally do. That's just as hilarious aa the sight of Bill and Chelsea, heads bowed in prayer at the megachurch this past weekend. Maybe that's what did the trick? What a bunch of hypocrites you all are. <br /><br />Now that you've got your big wins in Ohio and Texas, (the Texas one wasn't even close and you lost the caucuses as everyone said you would!), Obama has to fight you and your minions who want a job in your administration instead of concentrating on campaigning against McCain to try to become the Democratic president that we and the world want us to have. <br /><br />What's that to you though Hilary, as long as you can go on for another seven weeks of doing such wonderful things as pretending that you're the second coming of all that's wonderful. With you going on you're going to make it even more difficult for a Democrat to become president. <br /><br />You know what Hilary? You can pretend that you think Barack is a Muslim when you know damn well that he's not, you with that sniveling sneer and that comment that he's never given you any reason to think that he's a Muslim. You can pretend that you're not for Nafta when we all know that you still are and that you got in touch with someone in the right wing Canadian government to back you up on some crap that you made up. Let's not forget that you just voted on getting Peru into the deal. <br /><br />I'm glad that you can fool them in Ohio and Texas. You can't fool me,or anyone in my family and my circle of friends, even my almost 80 year old aunt Mitzi who has more decency in her one finger than you have in your whole body. You're some feminist, Hilary. I'm not one, I'm a humanist but I've never claimed to be one and I don't fly the woman flag like you and your disgraceful friend Gloria Steinhem who wrote the op ed piece in the NY Times about how it's a woman's turn to be president because black men got the vote years before women did. And tell me how many black men wound up hanging in trees, put there while they were on their way to vote? You know damn right well black men couldn't vote before the sixties and that right was bought and paid for in blood. <br /><br />I was going to wait to leave the Democratic party if you got the nomination. I was hoping to see a great big group walk out of the convention and turn their back on you and the party. You're not a unifier. You don't give a damn if the party is united. All you want is to be president so you can say, see, I did it! You can fool all those women into thinking they have someone to look up to in you. I have women to look up to. My late mother, my aunt, and all of my friends, who are all three times the woman you are and could run circles around you, Hillary. My mother could have been one of the greatet presidents this country has ever seen. Right up there with Jefferson and Lincoln. You? Not so much. I'd love to see a woman president. Just not you. <br /><br />I loved it when you implied that you were being picked on because you're a woman. You'd better learn how to take it babe. The air is rare where you want to be but you should know since you, your husband and the people that worked for him were (and are), as cutthroat as they come. <br /><br />You couldn't hope to inspire young and old of all colors the way Barack has. I'm changing my party affiliation to Independant tomorrow. I don't want anything to do with a party that is full of the people who voted for you tonight and the people that you and Bill will strong arm into giving you the nomination. This country and the world doesn't want you and your bullshit from the 90's Hilary. They want the future and the future is Barack Obama. Don't get too cocky hon. It ain't over yet! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:galacticowl:6934 2008-03-04T20:18:24Z 2008-03-04T20:18:24Z Mott the Hoople Before I post this I'll say that for the most part I don't care what anyone thinks of me so you don't have to be afraid to post your full name. It's ok with me. There are many things I don't post or say so as not to offend people that I think might read it but on the flip side, do your worst! ;)<br /><br /><br />BRUTAL HONESTY MEME<br />Have you had one of those days lately when you just scroll down your friends list and look at all the wonderful people you know... and wanted to smack a fair number of them? I'm sure you all know that every once in while, it's good to share your true feelings. It can be stress relieving, an opportunity to express true feelings while proving to be awfully amusing for those not taking part. And so, rising from the ashes is the traditional, yet ever time-killing Brutal Honesty Meme. Leave no throught unshared, no moron unwanked, no idiotic reply left without a searing, snarky retort. Have fun, children. It's time to get angry.<br /><br />For those of you who don't know how this works (how have you managed to avoid it thus far?) you basically comment with your username and then people can reply anon or otherwise, telling you what they've always wanted to tell you; be it what they love about you, what they hate about you etc.<br /><br />Um, of course it doesn't have to be nasty, it just has to be brutally honest. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:galacticowl:6852 2008-02-07T14:57:04Z 2008-02-07T14:57:04Z The View <a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/galacticowl/pic/0000ctfd/"><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/galacticowl/pic/0000ctfd/s320x240" width="195" height="240" border="0" /></a><br /><br />He's waiting for you, Kid! ;) <br />Happy Birthday my dear friend! <br /><br />Don't forget how we're going to be spending it in a few years time! :D urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:galacticowl:6628 2008-01-29T05:21:04Z 2008-01-29T17:02:13Z Keane IF YOU'RE ON MY FRIENDS LIST, I want to know 36 things about you.

It was sscy as shit in there at all times, even in the day time and the former owner had seen a ghost We'd hear weird stuff in there all the time and one time, a pair of my gloves were moved, I know this for sure I don't think the ghost wanted us there, because we used to have all kinds of people stay over, our friends and bands who needed a place to stay and all that. One night we had a party in there and suddenly this racket started up upstairs, (it was a three story house, what they call in old houses in Philly, a father/son/holy ghost house. The one ghost, the man, was the one causing the racket. So Peggy, (she was fearless!) went up there and had a "talk" with him.

Not a guy on a throne in a white robe. I do sometimes wonder if Stephne Hawking or Stephen Colbert aren't manifestations of him though. <br /><br />36) Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you?<br />A. that's up to you girls and guys. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:galacticowl:6155 2008-01-14T11:12:47Z 2008-01-14T11:12:47Z Now, this really makes me laugh. Yes this showed the importance of writers to those who don't already know the importance of writers, and I just love the fact that morons like Debbie Matanopoulos have to tell us little people that on Larry King tonight. Thank you, Debbie. You are a shining light unto the darkness, you are! <br /><br />Debbie the Philosopher, akin to her ancestor, Sophocles, said that WE, (you know, the little people), want to see OUR stars. Oh yeah, sure, I want to see the beanpole anorexic, who wwouldn't look out of place in a concentration camp, having her wine and dinner of ONE lettuce leaf. That sounds like fun to me. <br /><br />The even funnier part is, even with no show, and no dressed and no full of themselves actors, we still only have Atonement winning and the gall to have comedy noms without Curb Your Enthusiasm and the even bigger of course, Jim Broadbent and Samantha Morton win for Longford. Like that wasn't expected. Oh you mean no win for the amazing Ruth Wilson who so brilliantly played Jane Eyre? Of course not! Why ever give it to her when you can give to the pasty Samantha Morton, oh she of no lips, who I actually do like sometimes but I'm a little sick of her right now. And what a happy, clappy part she's playing. Hey honey, let's let the kkds watch that Longford on HBO, you know the one where the two serial killers in England kill the kids, and then have picnics on top of the makeshift graves1 Good times! <br /><br />I love how the presenters at this GG press conference are saying how they support the WGA. I do on priciple but it's getting more and more difficult for me to support something that is now hurting so many people who now cannot make their mortgage payments or their rent and soon won't be able to feed their families. It's all well and good for people like Tina Fey to be out there picketing, she's got a lot of money but how about the writers, hair stylists, nail techs, restaurant oweners, hell the guy who makes the coffee? I ralize that it's the studios who are to blame here but no one is being served b this and it's causing a lot of resentment and pain among people who work in that industry. <br /><br />I have to say I did miss the dissing of the horrible dresses but for the most part, a half an hour seems just about right for the Oscars too! ;) urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:galacticowl:5990 2008-01-11T10:59:05Z 2008-01-11T10:59:05Z I don't know why I'm upset that Edmund Hilary died. Maybe I've read Into Thin Air too many times. <br /><br />I decided I'm not going to post after people I can't stand on LJ. Just my little protest. Mean people suck. So do freaky, creepy people who like to shove their opniions in everyone's face. And elsewhere. So how is the way far up themselves brigrade today? For old people, that would be as way far up as they were in Fantastic Voyage. Now THAT'S a movie that crys out for a remake! <br /><br />Can't believe my laptop broke again! I want them to replace it and not wait until it breaks again and then the warrenty is off. Won't have it back until the start of next week. I stand to write emails on this thing which is why I haven't been. :( <br /><br />There really aren't any words to describe how disappointed I am that Hilary won in New Hampshire I don't know if she was faking the crying or not, (btw, WHAT crying? All it was, was a little catch in her voice), but as Jim and Chris say, you can't do that 48 more times. I heard some stuff tonight on CNN that makes me think that she's going to win in South Carolian and if she does I'm sure she'll be the nominee. I guess I'll have to hold my nose and vote for her. I want someone other than Clintons and Bushes in the White House. I'm so sick of her and her bullshit. She acts like the fucking Queen, like it's her right to be the president. Is she gonna cry when Ahmendijidad or however you spell that asshole's name hurts her feelings? Cry in private, Hilary. And stop crying for yourself, we don't care. I hope not all women in this counrty will buy that crap like the women in New Hampshire did. <br /><br />Trevor turned 21 this week. On the same day that Jimmy Page turned god knows ho old; one hundred maybe? I don't think he looks that bad. <br /><br />It aeems that Trevor is seeing a girl who lives at the Landmark and he met her at a party. She used to see Dad and even saw Trevor going up to the apartment to help Dad out. I'm happy about that, since he seems happier and he had a good birthday. He didn't get drunk, and no one got arrested! A good day in our family! :) <br /><br />So much more to say but I'm tired and I need some sleep. I think I might write some more tomorrow. I could used to this! :) <br /><br />I tend to forget that there actually are "normal" people on livejournal who write about their lives. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:galacticowl:5740 2008-01-11T08:41:43Z 2008-01-11T08:41:43Z Keane 10 Things currently on your desk<br />1. coffee creamer<br />2. a pile of books, magazines, dvds and cds<br />3. three la vanilla body butters(in one box), and they smell great! <br />4. peanut butter<br />5. hand sanitizer<br />6. toothpaste<br />7. bottles of water<br />8. body wash<br />9. phone<br />10.tivo clicker<br /><br />09 Favorite ships (If you don't ship, characters)(bit o' both here).<br />1.

I'm not really into writing in here and I know this because everytime I try to get my thougths together to do it, I just don't want to. I think a big part of it is that I'm from a generation that thinks of a journal as something private; a place to put your private thoughts and feelings. Not a place for the whole net to read and make comments on. Not that anyone makes commments on my jouranal and that has nothing to do with why I'm saying this. I've just reached this conclusion. I don't usually comment on other people's journals either. For a lot of reasons, most of which if I say here what I really think sometimes, I'll be metahporically run off LJ with a very big stick. If anyone even reads it that is. <br /><br />I still think there are people on there who are way far up themselves but who cares? They don't so it's pretty pointless to mention it. <br /><br />I also enjoy keeping this account for the purposes of the PG LJ although I was about to pull myself out of that too. <br /><br />You know, one thing I love on here is when people who don't have kids talk about them like they're fiends from hell and how they all act and are. I think you should have to at least observe some before you make your ill advised cracks but what do I know? <br /><br />Saw a very disturbing story on Larry King last night. It was about the West Memphis Three, the three kids who were accused of killing three 8 year old boys in Arkansas and leaving them in a pit. That was sixteen years ago and there have always been questions as to whether they did it or not. One of them, (and he's not a kid anymore, he's a 33 year old man who has spent the last 16 years of his life on death row always maintaining his innocence). He's a writer and he's got a lot of music people and others supporting him, including Eddie Vedder. Well it seems that now, they are being vindicated, as not only were they put into prison and sentenced to death (one of them was sentenced to life in prison because he is semi-retarded and has an IQ of 72. This kid was so bullied by the cops that he "confessed" and later recanted his "confession."), but DNA evidence that couldn't be gotten 16 years ago now shows that there isn't one trace of any DNA from any of the three on the kids bodies, there never was and one of the stepfathers of the kids is now implicated through DNA. Also, there are teethmarks on one of the kids and those teethmarks don't match ANY of the three in jail now. Weird though, the steppfather who is implicated now in the case had his teeth pulled out right after the murders. Funny huh? And not hah hah funny. Damian Echolls, (and could someone tell me why these guys are still in prison when there is not a shred of evidence linking them to the case but here is DNA evidence showing that someone else did it and that guy is walking around free?), who was the ringleader of hte group, the prosecutor said, said that careers were made on this case and that one of the prosecutors or the judge is running for the Senate from Arkansas. What a surprise that is! <br /><br />The other big news from last night is that Britney Spears' sister is pregnant. Their mother is selling the pics to OK Magazine as soon as the baby is born and Lynn Spears (mother of the year!) bites off the cord and wraps the unwashed creature in swaddling clothes for his or her or its first piccies! Wow! What a country this is turning into! I heard today that hte Spears family is thinking of doing something to the kid who knocked up the sister since he's 19 and she's 16 but it's ok to make money for the pictures of the alien spawn. Stop the world, I want to get off! <br /><br />In case I don't write in here before the new year, have good holidays everyone, not that anyone reads this anyway! :) urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:galacticowl:5160 2007-12-02T22:28:22Z 2007-12-02T22:28:22Z That's the Way = Led Zeppelin Reply to this and I'll give you a letter.

No it's not. This is about freedom. The freedom that George Bush always talks about the Iraqi's wanting but they don't want it because if they did, they would go after it the way some brave monks in a small country at the other end of the world are doing. <br /><br />Now the Iraqi conflict really is about religion. It's about who is descended from this or that family and who can kill the other guy faster. And for that our young kids are dying and being injured in droves. Where are the Jeffersons and Washingtons in Iraq, Bush asks? Not there. You can't be part of a theocracy like that and not have it effect you. It's funny that the fight for freedom that we think of as such a western thing, is now alive and well in the far eastern part of this planet. I don't see Bush saying a thing about it. I don't see him offering help to these people who are dying for freedom and human rights, something that is about as practiced in the Middle East as freedom of religion is. <br /><br />And before all you Jew haters out there say that Israel is just as bad, well they don't stone women to death for having a date with a man. Plus they have people of different faiths in the Knesset and they have Muslim members of the parliament too. The Jewish religious kooks over there are bad news, no doubt about that and sadly, they have too much power in the country but there are more secular Jews there than anything who feel the same way I do and they don't have to cover up in a hotbox to walk around. <br /><br />So I'm waiting for someone to say that we should help the cause of freedom on Myanmar. Oh, I forgot, they don't have any oil and they're Buddhists without a lot of money and they don't think they should take over the world in the name of their god. Yep, I forgot. <br /><br />And if anyone thinks this is hateful, look around LJ sometime and tell me what you read in the name of freedom of speech. It's only freedom if you agree with them. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:galacticowl:4687 2007-09-24T16:08:32Z 2007-09-24T16:08:32Z Scritti Politti Funny how some people are so far up themselves that you might find wooly mammoth bones up there. Thank you dear friend, you know who you, for that image. I had a good laugh over that and will forever. :) Myself, I think it's so far up themselves that they'll find dinosaur bones up there, or maybe the first one celled organisms, but that's must me hating the world and those gasbags who inhabit it. And I'm not talking the Hindenburg. <br /><br />I used to think that LJ was for your ideas and thoughts and it still is. But more and more it's for the ideas of how much better you are than everyone else on LJ. It's amazing even to myself how bitter I've gotten about these things, but I'm the kind of person who gets twisted once I have enough things beating me over the head. I mean how many times can you be told what you should think and, more to the point, what you shouldn't think, when you're a member of a certain "club" as it were, without feeling like an idiot? And wanting to just yank yourself out of it all? <br /><br />I have friends I care about who I'd have to cut myself off from if I did that, so more than likely. I won't do it and if I'm not going to seperate myself from all this than I have to get this off my chest and then stop doing it. It makes me upset and the people who I'm writing about don't give a fuck what I say anyway. <br /><br />So it's back to doing some writing, thinking about how much I'm going to be able to walk today and then if I'm going to hear from a certain someone today. I hope so. <br /><br />XX urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:galacticowl:4607 2007-09-11T05:50:02Z 2007-09-11T05:50:02Z I don't know why I feel that I have to say something about this. I didn't last year but this year I do. I guess it's because last year I was on the cusp of being ill and dad was sick and it just didn't matter to me as much as it usually does. I was heart sick enough. But this year I'm on edge about it. I'm sick of the hatred that still lives and breathes in this world and always will and I'm sad that, speaking of breathing, Osama Bin Laden still is. Thanks to our president, that dumb as a post idiot, Osama is alive and will die an old man in a cave with a dyed beard. <br /><br />Maybe in 100 years we'll have sales and picnics and barbeques on the day. Hey, 9/11 day everybody let's go someplace! I'm surprised that's not done now. <br /><br />I'm not saying that Americans are the only people that have ever suffered and I'm not saying that other people don't die horrible deaths. but everyone of the people who died that day, be it in the Towers, the Pentagon, or the planes, died in vain, killed by a madman who loves to hurt other people. I'm surprised he didn't blow up Isreal that day but then aqgain, really he's a cowerd who only goes after people he knows can't or won't fight back. And our president and the CIA knew that something like this could happen and they did nothing. They knew that it was possible if not probable that planes could be hijacked and blown up, and they did nothing. There is blood on all their hands. <br /><br />I probably won't even read LJ tomorrow. I don't want to read any anti-American bullshit. Hey, save it for your emails to Bush. We don't make the policies. I'll just say a prayer for all the people who died in such a terrible way. I hope they didn't suffer(even though I know in my heart that many of them did), and that they are now at peace. <br /><br />All this so that Osama and his fiends could dance around their caves with each other and dye their beards and clap each other on the back. Fuck them all, somehow they will pay. <br /><br />On a terribly selfish note, but it fits in with the day. To all the people who like to shove certain things that they've done in people's faces, don't worry. You'll get yours one day. You and all your fake friends. You're pathetic. The word freak is too good for you. <br /><br />I know I'm vitriolic and I don't care. <br /><br />I can't say anything about the people who died on this day six years ago that will make as much sense as this quote: <br /><br /><br />In any man who dies there dies with him<br />his first snow and kiss and fight....<br />Not people die but worlds die in them.<br />~Yevgeny Yevtushenko, "People" urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:galacticowl:4140 2007-08-27T00:39:40Z 2007-08-27T00:39:40Z Muse Sundays drag on when you're in bed and you can't walk without help and you're waiting for someone to get you ready to face your day. Of course your starting at 4:00 in the afternoon is a bit disconerting but I'll live with it because I have to. I have a good outlook most of the time. <br /><br />Was reading on J's LJ how she got her nails done a nice shade of brown. I love nail polish. What I wouldn't give to be able to go to the salon and get my hair done and my nails done. Soon, I keep teling myself, soon. I'm not cutting my hair no matter what anyone says. It's taken me too long to get it to this length and it's finally starting to look decent now so even if I have to ask Kim to come over and color it and trim it, I'd like to leave the length, at least a lot of it. I don't mind trimming it down, it does come back healthier. <br /><br />I was so excited when Katie said she would text me from TCM and that the seat next to her would be empty, so I can think that that is my seat. That made me cry, really. Jim said he didn't know if her texting would work from the UK to here but I hope it does. That will be lovely really. <br /><br />I wonder sometimes if a lot of people on the net have any feelings left or has it all been eaten up by them having to act snarky, or being funny, (at least they think it is), or denying that they have any humanity. I worry that they don't. Thank god most of them will never be in any positions of power and only a few losers will ever think they amount to anything and even that will drop off one day. I was watching Miami Ink today, (ok it's a guilty pleasure!) and there was a kid on there, I'd say in his late teens, early twenties and he and his mom had come in to the shop so he could get a tatoo of a bald eagle. He explained how his dad was in a terrible motorcycle accident with his cousin, in front of their house. HIs cousin died horribly and his dad was left in a coma. Some idiot said that the kid was a moron, or someting to that effect and what did he think was going to happen if he got a tattoo for his comatose dad. Nothing, idiot. He didn't think anything would happen, or maybe he really did think that it would help his dad. It at least helped him and his mother. Do net people have a heart and soul or is most of it about telling other people what to do and setting yourself up as kings and queens of the net? It's not funny, snarky (oh i know you all think it is!), when you go on TWOP anonymously and shoot your ignorant mouth off. <br /><br />It's even more obnoxious on here when people do it, and then others tell them now great and smart they are. Keep worshipping the souless. It will come back to haunt you one day. <br /><br />So enough of the bitter posts. It won't stop anythinga and the people for whom it's intended don't read me anyway. I just needed to get it off my chest. <br /><br />To all my friends who might read this, and who have helped me through some of the worst times in my life, I really love you and would do anything for you. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:galacticowl:3996 2007-08-26T08:09:19Z 2007-08-26T08:09:19Z Muse I'd like to go back and be with B. I don't know if we could have made it as a couple, but it would have been fun trying. <br /><br />I know it's not that funny to other people but I had to laugh when I read that Colin Farrell got someone else pregnant! I still like the idea of the bumper sticker that says Honk If You've ever been impregnated by a Little Irish Shite but I don't know how many people would find that amusing. <br /><br />What a day yesterday was! That was one I'm so glad is over and done with. It started out good and then declined rapidly. No, that's not entirely true. I stood up a good bit and moved my feet today so any day I do that is at least partly good. <br /><br />Was yesterday the day of the net Gestapo? It's funny that on the internet community of god knows how many people you have to be afraid to speak your mind but it seesm like you have to be. Well a lot of people have to be, the minority who think they own it don't have to be and never are. I'd say that the people to whom this is directed would know who they are but they don't read my meaningless little bullshits and they're so fucking full of htemselves that they would have no clue if some of their own medicine was thrown back at them. If I said what I think, and I mean just THINK, on certain subjects I'd be ostracised from what is, in some ways, my happy place. I'm even afraid to post much here, so I have to get all cryptic on the collective ass. I hope I can get rid of that fear someday soon. <br /><br />I just have to remember that the net is huge and millions and millions of people don't give a damn about any of this. I actually take some comfort in that. <br /><br />I also heard something yesterday that I now have to live with and it shook me. I can't tell the person I hread this about, at least not now, so I have to live with this in my mind. It's not so horrible that I can't sleep or anything like that, but it's not pleasant and I don't believe it. <br /><br />What I need to do is put everything away from my mind and get some sleep this morning. I'll feel better when I wake up later on. <br /><br />I love my friends, I really do.
