Life Is Great
Topic Inspired By Chandra
Like a barefooted walk on a soft sandy beach to the sound of waves crashing up against the rocks. Like the feeling I get when I wake up to see a new day and go to sleep exciting for another to come.
Life is great.
The sound of a fine tuned piano playing one of Beethoven masterful pieces. The voice of my grandmother telling me how much I mean to the voice of my parents letting me know I have done well.
Life is great.
Like the feeling of pride when I lend a helping hand to the sense of honor I feel to have such amazing friends. Like the taste of good food to the taste of a good drink.
Life is great.
The smell of freshly mowed grass to the aroma of freshly cut flowers. From the look of ocean waters to the taste of fine wine.
Life is great.
Like the way I feel after a hot shower to the feel of softness on my face after a clean shave. Like the way I feel when I make someone smile to the glow in my eyes when someone makes me feel good.
Life is great.
Like the atmosphere around a cool fall evening bonfire. Like the taste of a popsicle on a hot summer day to the sound of rain pounding on the roof during a stormy spring night.
Life is great.
The thought of living many more years to the mere vision of one day having a family. From knowing I live in our worlds best country to the feeling I get when I think about one day visiting others.
Life is great.
Born in 1980, I sit here today at the age of 23 years old knowing that I am incredibly lucky. Life has been fairly good to me and with years and years to follow in the future I am always excited for a new day to come. There is so much to see, so much to do, so so much to be apart of.
It is simple. Life is great.
Take care all...

Michael Jackson - A Monster In My Mind
I know I know. Nothing has been proved yet but I have always had an eary feeling about Michael Jackson. He is by no means a normal person and this latest unfolding just might show his true colors. Who else can dangle their baby over the balcony of a hotel room and not have any punishment given? It is obvious that Michael Jackson because of his name has gotten a way with a lot. It appears that it would be coming to an end and it is about time.
It was ten years ago that the same information was brought forward against Jackson. No one testifed and it was settled out of court. Because the child at that time did not go through a trial many believed that he was innocent. This time it will be different. The child will be going to trial to relay the same information that was relayed to his counsellor. The latest developpments all came from a child who was attending a regular therapy session. During one of them he revealed what Michael had done to him thus creating the investigation that led over 70 law enforcement representatives searching his Neverland Ranch and home. While conducting the search there were multiple things found that include:
- Video tapes
- The only way to get into the spare bedrooms in Michael's home was to go through his own bedroom
- A secret room in his house that had candle's and a number of photographs of young boys
That is 3 out of the many finding's that law enforcement discovered while searching his residence at the beginning of it's investigation. Do we know what is on the tapes? Do we know what the photographs completly entail? Do we know why you have to go through his own bedroom to get into the spare bedrooms in his house? No we don't know the answers to these questions but it gives off a strong feeling of something being wrong.
Many people discuss how he is now living a childhood that he in the past did not get to live. It would be completly understandable if he did but being over 40 years of age and having sleep overs with 12 year old children, allowing them to sleep in his bed with him, the photographs, the video tapes, etc is completly inappropriate. This sounds like a case of Michael Jackson being obsessed with children more than anything else to me.
Time will tell, the trial with disclose a lot to all of us. In my mind Michael Jackson is a monster and it just may now come out. There are too many things that he does that is completly inappropriate. After his first occasion of this information coming out Macauley Culkin came out and said that he is a good person and very charitable to children. This time when asked Culkin did not say that at all. Makes you wonder.
So many things do not play in his favor. From leading people from the psychology field saying that he has done and continues to do inappropriate things not realizing that he is a full grown male. Child sleepovers, making children walk through his room to get to the spar rooms, a secret room with photographs of children and candles is enough for me to say Michael Jackson has a serious problem and it needs to be dealt with.
I know there are many people who feel the same and I know there are just as many who feel the opposite and that he is a good person. Everyone by all means has the right to feel what they like. I have 2 words to express how I feel about him.
A Monster.
Take care all...

Why Bush Needs To Put More Focus On The United States
It Is Not The Glory Land He Makes It Out To Be
There has been a lot of information relayed to the world via George W Bush that I do not agree with but nothing more than his bullshit rants on how the United States is the nicest and safest place to live.
After watching “Bowling For Columbine” I have become to understand that he is not in any position at all to preach the above because in reality the United States is the world’s worst nation when referring to weapons and unnecessary deaths.
Michael Moorer did a fantastic job with this documentary. He opened many an eye with his incredible research, fascinating statistics and very upfront and conversations with many of the people who live in the same Country as he. The United States.
Facts show us all that the United States averages over 11,000 gun related deaths a year while other nations such as Canada, France, England, etc average in between 65-120 a year.
Alarming if you ask me.
If George W Bush does not recognize that and begin to do something about it soon then the United States is going to be in a very bad shape. There numbers are growing every year.
I had to talk about this. After watching CNN today and hearing Bush talk his glory I thought it was about time someone talked about how the son of a bitch needs to wake up and realize he has some issues in his own country to deal with as well.
He might want to put some focus on them. He is not in any position to say half the shit he says. Maybe one day when he cleans up his own land he will be but he sure is not in any position right now.
Take care all…

I know it has been a while since I have last posted. I have always said that I would never post for the sake of posting that I would only ever do it when I had something effective to write about. I am glad to be back and hope you enjoy the latest post.
From A Smooth Highway To A Torn Up Side Road
Like Sands In The Hour Glass, These Are The Days Of Our Lives
Life can take some really unexpected turns on us when we really think about it. One day our lives can be driving down the smoothest highway right in the middle of Paradise on a hot and sunny day and then the next we can be driving down a torn up side street in the outskirts of a tough town.
I will say that I have it really good. I tend to be driving through Paradise a lot more than a tough town. Recently however I found myself driving down one and noticed that it is really not that bad. Maybe it is because I spend most of my time in Paradise that I feel this way, or maybe it is because a tough town really is not a bad place to sometimes visit.
Life is one big classroom with each and every day playing the part of a lesson. Whether we are in sun shiny Paradise or a tough town we are learning life’s lessons. At times when we do, we are educated in a way that is sometimes hard to deal with which is where the tough town comes into play and sometimes we feel positive while it is occurring which is were Paradise is brought into the scheme of things.
Each and everyone one of us has things happen to ourselves that we welcome with open arms and naturally at times we have things that happen in which we wish did not.
We are all going to have our beautiful days in Paradise and we are all also going to have our gloomy ones in a tough town.
Being a very strong individual and holding onto the fact that Paradise is so beautiful and that we will find our way back to it if life takes us for a ride down the torn up side road makes the whole trip to a tough town so much easier.
Life is too short to have an extended stay in a tough town.
Paradise is the place to be. Spend as much time there as you can. I know I do.
Take care all...
