Cause...

"Hope is a horrible thing, you know. I don’t know who decided to package hope as a virtue because it’s not. It’s a plague. Hope is like walking around with a fishhook in your mouth and somebody just keeps pulling it and pulling it."

more than I can say...


There is some kind of a sweet innocence in being human - in not having to be just happy or just sad - in the nature of being able to be both broken and whole, at the same time.
C. JoyBell C

Well, it’s true that I have been hurt in my life. Quite a bit. But it’s also true that I have loved, and been loved. and that carries a weight of its own. A greater weight, in my opinion. It’s like that pie chart we talked about earlier. in the end, I’ll look back on my life and see that the greatest piece of it was love. The problems, the divorces, the sadness… those will be there too, but just smaller slivers, tiny pieces.

Bat Signal...

....

The MEMORY of Sept 11th STILL SUCKS!!!!!

MY Soap BOX {for today...}:

9/11

It WAS & IS horrible what happened on this day and
SINCE....
but for F*CK sake
STOP
and i MEAN
STOP
replaying that SHIT!

we ALL remember
in VIVID detail...
it kills me every time "they"
 they =ALL NEWS OUTLETS even my beloved NEWS HOUR ~ replay it OVER...
and OVER
and OVER AGAIN....
i mean the WHOLE horrible F*cking thing:
ALL 10+hrs of it,
 ALL OF IT!!!
and
i HATE it!
{I do not use that word often or lightly..}
Let it be known..everyday
INNOCENT people die for very Machiavellian reasons,
{and NOT JUST Americans}....

it should be noted that ALL of us humans
NO matter where we reside on this GLOBE
should
feel the PAIN & LOSS of their not "being" with us anymore ...
All loss of life matters.
get it?
GOT it?!??!?
GOOD!

I feel better already...
PEACE Y'all!
