one of the many things i don't understand

how can we say that we live in a democracy when, from what i've seen.....the majority, by an overwhelming amount, think that sending more troops to iraq is a BAD IDEA

and yet....he's sending them anyway

because...we, the people, aren't REALLY in charge..........

are we.

tsk

girl power and the pace of america

elaborating on the whole lovey dovey wonder if he knows vibe ....from the last post

i don't mean to sound as though i couldn't survive, if i had to....by myself...cuz' i'm not one of those that lays down or waits for someone else to make things happen or save me

and there are so many pieces to the puzzle that is me...it'll never be whole again anyway...but it would be another piece missing

one that i love more than i know how to explain to the recipient..more than i will admit in an out-loud voice

curious...why do i feel a need to clarify that? because we all get defensive in love and relations and i don't .....strike that...i CAN'T leave myself too vunerable again..so the knee jerk reaction is i'd be fine and i'm ok....
because if i'm not ok, and he leaves at some point that means he could crush me and i won't give up that power

which in so many ways is sad love is played like that because we've all been so burned before that every time we let people in a little less...but que sera sera...am what i am...

it will be interesting, tho, to look around in 10 years and see who's still standing around me

a friend of mine wrote me recently about me being too busy all the time, which is parshally why i can't write here more...
but i've been thinking....it's the pace of america is it not?

our super sized super fast super sale super store get more get it now happier hyperer greasier lifestyle that is all pressure all the time get yours free today!!!!

seriously. if you've ever been to europe...well, some places in europe anyway...for an extended period of time you'll notice that time passes differently.....and people seem on a different clock...

never rushing....never stressed...just going along with the flow of the day in a lazy fine with the world sort of pace

they've got something figured out we don't i'll tell you....it's because, (i think) they've been around longer than we have to figure out the societal thing and minding their own business instead of commenting on everyone's lives and behaviour which is another downfall of ours

i'm so tired....tired to a place where even when you get time to sit it's sort of in a zombied can't think anymore between chores or working state rather than sleepy gonna read a book by the window and take a lazy nap

i think too many people are too rushed...too overworked...too worried and self analytical

i think we've created our own little hurricane for ourselves and that's why everybody...well...most...seem so exasperated and ready to complain that you meet

i've changed my mind......now, along with our federally mandated massages....i'm saying it's a massage followed by a nap.
every day. without fail

wouldn't that be nice? yes, i'm a dreamer. what's your point?

ok i'm going now...back to my artworking

just checking in

be well wanderers
