Sorry, used to read latin but it's gone the way of the wind.
Youn sound like you have some very strong opinions and I, for one, think it would be good to start of with them I have mine, you have yours, they may have common ground or they may not, who goes first?

CONSPIRACY THEORY on 2008-03-30 00:52:17 |

I agree - keep electing an entire new slate of politicos and eventually they''l all get the message, they'll all relearn that they work for us not us for them.
Do you read Tom Clancy? Remember Jack Ryan calling for states to send him "normal" people, who did not want to be politicians, tho fill out the senate and house?
Or do you remember "None of the Above"?
that's what we need. There has to be a reason that a person who is educated and exeperienced in a field that could bring 7 figures easily instead chooses to be come a "public servant" in a job that pays a mere pittance in comparison..
Can only be one of 3 choices - they really honestly care (been one or 2 of those but they're rarer then life on Mars), they're counting on the graft or they're hooked on the power.
Only politician I'll vote for is one who's been dragged into it kicking and screaming, they don't wanta go.

are there some pretty wierd posts around here late on 2008-03-27 22:59:02 |

Dunno, I'm probably one of those who irk you. I know some of my posts about where our countries going just had to come out... and no one here seems capable of grasping my concerns. Others are just driven by my dark side and those just need to come out also - but not really for any one but me. Mostly cause I've worn out anyone else I have to talk with.
Still I'm a new and infrequent blogger - drawn to it mostly cause I had to spouit and had no one to spout to.

And don't even imagine that men are immune to the same responses. After all we're all human even if men are from mars and women from venus (My pa says he's from from pluto - oh no that's not a planet anymore!)

Ode to Depression on 2008-03-03 22:15:52 |
|
This is either the ultimate in snide comments or one of the most insightful commentaries I've ever read. I'm still not sure, which speaks well for how it's written.
In any case I disagree strongly. I cannot speak for anyone but me but to me depression is a wee little beastie that hides inside and waits for the weak moments to rear it's ugly head and manifest it's awesome powers.
It's not me, or the me I've always known so well. it's some strange thing that takes over and twists everything, shadows everything, darkens and smears everything.
It doesn't seek to lay blame on anyone else but me. Even when it's quiescent I still blame no one but me.
The only thing I've ever found that really helps me to fight it is the recognition that it's there, that it's not me, or at least not the best part of me, that it's real and that at it's worst it makes me question myself and my sanity.
Knowing that I am then prepared to battle it when it raises it's ugly head.
Daily I stare it in the mirror and say "I know you, I know what you're attack vectors are, I know what you're trying to do to me... and I can beat you if I just don't give in."
It's hard and sometimes it almost entirely overpowers me but as time goes by I find myself better able to make it through - I try to stay busy (though at it's worst I hibernate and become a virtual vegitable), avoid others, cry, beat myself up (I term it "bang my head on the wall"), read, play totally mindless games, sleep, anything to make it to the other side.
But still it's never about feeling sorry for myself, blaming others, looking for others in the same state, taking pills (only for 3 months some 10 years ago when my manic depressive cycles were coming so fast they were making my head swim - and that was only mood stabilizers, not anti-depressives).
In the end I recognize it's my problem, from inside me, and no longer expect anyone else to solve it, be at fault for it, or in any way be accountable to it. Still though - at it's worst it's really, really hard not to cry out to someone else for help. Only time and experience has proven to me that no one else really can help - it has to be me or it's a lost cause.
In summary - depression is all the dark side of you, almost demonic, seeking to be dominant over the rest of you, resentful that it's not the real you but only relegated to playing some small part of the whole.

Meant momentary, not monetary ( can't believe one of my many typos acutally resulted in a word, the wrong one, that kinda makes sense in that sentance)

Stunning post. Left me speachless for quite some time, with tears welling inmy eyes.
Don't blame yourself - though you may have been able to help given the chance it wasn't your choice that prevented you from doing so.
I can only speak for myself but I know when I'm there it seems it's unbearable and only getting worse, hard as it is to believe that it CAN get worse. And in the middle of it all I cannot foist my pain on anyone else, no one deserves it, especially if I care for them.
in that respect I believe it is NOT a monetary thing - it builds and builds, and as it does you doubt your sanity, your mind, your heart, your worth. It doesn't help when other's tell you what you mean to them or what value you add to the world. You just see no value, no point to you.
But for the grace of God, 2 times over, I'd have been your brother.
I can say 100% for certain no one, nothing, could have prevented my tires.
I can also say that since then I've become a grandfather 4 times and though I keep the 3rd time for keeps in my back pocket, as long as I have my grand kids I'll never be able to try again.
I guess all this verbage doesn't mean squat to your pain - know for certain I, and my grandkids and CCD class will pray for you... and your brother.

Don't sweat it. When a connection comes you'll know it.
And don't fret the male-female thing - what's important is the connection.
Don't let past experiences with people sour you on all humanity - the majority of us care.
And most of all - don't ever, ever let yourself belive you're not capable of being a friend - girl or good. Whne the connection comes it'll happen and you won't be able to stop it.
And finally - no one, absolutely no one, is ever capable of being a parent until they are one. Much t the chagrin of all those who try to write them, there are no instruction maunals for being a parent. Any given book or expert might cover a part of it but nothing can cover it all. You just gotta fly with what's inside you, it's the best guide any has.

Only then can you really love others.

why no God? on 2008-03-02 01:07:50 |

I think most people who deny God exists eventually come to the point where they believe "intellect" proves there's no God.
they look around, they see, or think they see, how things work, They hear mysteries being explained, scientific proof explaining all manner of questions. They may start down this path because of the evil they see, the pain and suffering that's always presnt. But eventually they all seem to come to the point where they say, to themselves and/or others, "I'm too intelligent to believe that crap. Science has proven evolution, they've almost proven the big bang, we know where everything cam from and how we came to be".
But they don't go far enough. No matter what scintific proof you quote, what theory you espouse, it always, always start with something. Some theory fall back on relativity to relate energy and matter and say all matter started from energy. Some theories go on from theory and follow the big bang train, other wander in other directions.
Still - none, not a single one, can explain, or even come close to explaining, how something, be it energy, matter, sub atomic particles, or whatever, how something came from nothing,
Even if you believe the big bang approach - and think our universe is eventually going to collapse back into some super dense object that will ultimately explode to start another universe, even if you believe the universe we're in is not the first to come out of such a cycle, even if you spout string theory, talk about alternate universes, anything at all that has ever been proposed - every one of them assumes that something existed to start it all.
What put that something there?
God.
If God started it all then God must be good. And if there's good then there has to be bad.
For me that sums it all up.

Friends and Traitors on 2008-03-02 00:48:58 |
|
A real friend is someone who, no matter how long it's been since you spoke or since you've seen each other, when you do get together again it's like you've never been apart.
You don't have to go into detail, nor does your freind - you know, and understand, with little more then a word or a look.
It doesn't matter what you've done, or what they've done, or said, or anything. Disagreements, even fights, happen - but that connection still remains.
Real friends argue, fight, even betray each other - but they always come back and are always connected. Face it - we're all human and none of us are perfect - but a real fiend is "A real friend" because that imperfection never breaks the tie.
A friend is someone you always feel comfortable around, instantly, no matter how long it's been.
Real friends are extremely rare - and very far between. If you've been granted one in your life you're lucky, more then that and you're blessed.
In our human weakness it's easy to mistake others for friends - but only the test of time, and often distance, proves who are really friends and wh aren't.
