My Dangling Conversation

I didn�t leave comments on the last post because there was no need. I did get several emails thanking me for writing it and want to make it clear that I did not write the last post. I added the Sounds of Silence stuff ,but it is written weekly by Eugene and Freddie over at the Coalition for Darfur; go thank them please. Doug, what we can do? The magnitude of the problem of what is going on in Darfur and the corruption on that continent in general is on a scale that we probably don�t even realize. We can, as individuals, do tiny parts only at this time. We can feed the hungry and contribute financial support and actively propagate information, and educate ourselves to the facts. We can not change the inherent corruption nor can we, at least on a large scale ,intervene in the cultural upheaval. We can make it known, we can publicize it on local levels in our own communities and our schools and by virtue of getting our actions covered get Darfur covered. If you support " Women for Women" , if you give to Doctors Without Borders, if you are raising money in any way in your community get it covered by your local news media. Local news likes news to be about their community. This is the only way as far as the media goes at this time. We have to keep being heard and let no one forget. The pattern of Rwanda continues and sadly history has taught us little in this case. And I don't know a soul who's not been battered. I don't have a friend who feels at ease. I don't know a dream that's not been shattered, or driven to its knees. Ah, but it's all right. It's all right. For we've lived so well so long. Still, when I think of the road we're travelin' on, I wonder what's gone wrong. I can't help but wonder what's gone wrong. Another fairly large complaint I have is coming home to endless coverage of the sentencing of an egomaniacal, murdering, sociopath, and his last words. Let us play right into his hand and allow him countless hours of national television coverage while ignoring other much more important issues. Watching him is not going to prevent another sly crazy man from killing hundreds of people over thirty years. If anything is to be learned from this, that fact at least, is one of them. These people are out there, we are never going to know who they are until it is too late and that is a fact. Please god stop this fascination with the macabre or of one does have a fascination with acts of horror turn to Darfur because as hard as that is we have a better chance of taking care of Darfur than we do of finding and preventing very well planned acts of sexual deviancy and murder from a cunning, psychopath with a limp penis, serious control issues, and an out of control id. Speaking of �projects� wasn�t Iraq a project for the Bush administration? There are victims everywhere these days not just in Wichita. Lots of unjustifiable death; it�s been a hell of a year yes? And I dreamed I was dying. I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly, and looking back down at me, smiled reassuringly. And I dreamed I was flying, and high up above my eyes could clearly see the Statue of Liberty sailing away to sea. And I dreamed I was flying. School starts in a couple of weeks, one might think that would curtail some of this blog nonsense, but seemingly last year I started writing most during final exams, prior to that I wrote very little in this thing, so we will see how it goes. I am helping a friend move into his apartment in the city over the next week so I will be �here and there and everywhere�. That is one Beatle song I never cared for. Notes: Just so everyone knows, my brother Josh is really a nice guy. I was just really a little mad at him at that particular time. What are blogs good for if not for that? Good things or not so good depending on how you look at it. I now know who J Geils is. I will probably not pursue that line of listening pleasure for now. I have not actually been on a never ending vacation this summer it just seems that way. I don�t need male models, my days of photographing naked men (for the most part, Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard not Withstanding) are over. I never voluntarily look upon a naked man that I have no intention of sleeping with ( that really narrows it down here people) and the female pictures are done gratis for friends. I got a Nikon Camera. I love to take those photographs, so Ma Ma don�t take my kodachrome away. ;) I�m not crazy but yes am a bit of a blog whore at this point in time and I�m taking medication that will supposedly help this condition. Being that this medication has been approved by the FDA I may indeed have something to fear. I am going for it anyway because the stuff not approved by the federal government can�t be taxed, and good citizen that I am, I would never do that to my country. I am blaming people whose blogs I have commented on for all the spam I am getting in my email lately. Not the anonymous emails but the frank out selling me stuff or wanting me to join something spam. Bless you all as when I get less then one hundred emails a day I feel so ignored Side Note: The reason Limbaugh called Native Americans Injuns,for the what fourth time, is because he was simply slurring his words�����������.drug rehab does not always work, but good old Rush also uses only taxable drugs so don't worry. And we come on the ship they call the Mayflower. We come on the ship that sailed the moon. We come in the age's most uncertain hours, and sing an American tune. Oh, and it's all right, it's all right, it's all right. You can't be forever blessed. Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day and I'm tryin' to get some rest; that's all - I'm trying to get some rest.
