I’m sick and tired, actually. For the past eight years I have been afraid to support whom I wish. I don’t just mean from arguments, I mean actually afraid for my safety and vandalism against me. In 2004 I wore my Kerry pin, but I didn’t put up yard signs, or bumper sticks, for fear. And now I find that I can be attacked not only by republicans who disagree with my choices, but also by my fellow democrats?

That’s not right.

The whole Hilary/Barack thing has gotten way out of hand. We’re all democratic people here, and for the most part Hilary and Barack have a lot of the same polices. So it’s really just a matter of picking which one you like better, but I guess that’s wrong; heaven forbid we have even slightly different points of view.

To the people, on both sides, who say if their candidate doesn’t get the nomination, they will not vote. I say that is bullshit. In the end, the most important thing is that we get a democratic person into office. As I said before, they both have similar views on most issues, so is it really that much worse if one is chosen over the other? Only that your it isn’t your “favorite.”

Personally, I support Barack, and that’s not wrong! I feel he is something we need right now. That doesn’t make me stupid, or uneducated, or a “cult member.”
If Hilary gets the nomination I will support her fully, because she is democratic. And any democratic person is better than a republican. Can we all agree on that much? Can please get together on that one point, so I don’t have fear my own?

Well after my long winded soap box speech, I really have only one point to make here; whomever gets the nomination, just vote! Because if you don’t vote, that achieves only one thing; it takes away from us and just adds more power to the republicans, and I cannot take another four years of them! I can’t, and this country can‘t! So please, for me, for the future. Vote blue.

Now I’ll get my sorry ass back to the Lounge where everything doesn’t scare the living crap outta me!

I am searching, I am not alone.
Everything is clearer now.
Life is just a dream
you know
That's never ending
I'm ascending




No division in the ranks
The lines are long and proud
No question on their lips
But there will always be doubt

Like a chinese painting
All red with it's message
A flag high in the sky
Twists and turns it's language

Underneath the colours red-blue-white
Catch a glimpse of others
From the corner of your eye

With the rise and fall of
The conductor's blind-hand
I play Russian roulette
I'm an angry young man

- Underneath the Colours by INXS.



Looking Through
By Miss Rev_Acts


Looking out the window.
Book in my hand, jewelry on the table.
Bare feet.

Music whirls around my head.
Humming out of tune.
Warm sweater.

Tick, tick, ticking of the clock.
What it means, I know not.
Ringing hour.

Picture in a frame.
Time goes by.
Thinking back.

The mirror reflects me.
Eyes looking through.
Hope comes.

Fears are fading.
Light is coming.
I’m here.
Quotes:
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
Marcus Aurelius.

Watch the world argue, argue with itself. Who's going to teach me peace and happiness.
- From an INXS song.

Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.
Edgar Allan Poe.

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.
- Bertrand Russell.

An eye for an eye ends up making the whole world blind.

You must be the change you want to see in the world.

Permanent good can never be the outcome of untruth and violence.
- Gandhi.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
Albert Einstein.

Let my name stand among those who are willing to bear ridicule and reproach for the truth's sake, and so earn some right to rejoice when the victory is won.
Louisa May Alcott.

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everybody goes 'Awww!"
- Jack Kerouac.

^^ And that's why I hang in the Lounge.
