Nebraska safe haven

most of the children left were teens and preteens.. the only infants left were left with other children as well. pretty stupid, given that the law was meant to protect infants..

this blog is kinda easter egg colored.. hmm.. i don't know how i feel about that.. i had this weird dream that my entire room was pink.. even my pillowcases.. and then the scene switched and amy and tracee and irwaxx and everybody was in this high school gym.. and i think it was like a filipino basketball thing.. and i was looking towards the bleachers/benches(?) and i saw dann and amy teaching irwaxx a cheer.. they turned their butts towards the gym floor and then shook them a lot.. and then they put their weight on their right leg.. and bent at the knee on their left.. and then wiggled their butts again.. and lifted the other leg.. and then amy jumped up and down because she was so proud of irwaxx..

anna said i shouldn't make people listen to my dreams..

... i figure she stops listening halfway through them, so it makes no difference that i don't care and tell her anyway..

i finally finished the third jasper fforde book.. and then i went to the website to see what people said about the book.. and i definitely missed out on a lot of obvious puns.. squire of high potternews.. how silly!! i did get the real obvious reference to his other series.. there are already four of those books.. but i won't read them.. i know it's stupid.. but i kind of prefer books told from a woman's voice.. even if the author's a man..

ash wednesday...

there's actually a poem by t.s. eliot about ash wednesday.. he wrote it after he entered the catholic church.. it speaks about the struggle there is in having faith.. it also kind of seems a nice opposite to The Waste Land... which is kind of disgusted with the world after world war I.. the entire poem is very long.. so i just took from sections the parts that i loved the most.. but reading the whole poem is best if you want to understand what he's saying..


Because I do not hope to turn again
Because I do not hope
Because I do not hope to turn
Desiring this man's gift and that man's scope
I no longer strive to strive towards such things

...

Because I know that time is always time
And place is always and only place
And what is actual is actual only for one time
And only for one place
I rejoice that things are as they are...

And pray to God to have mercy upon us
And pray that I may forget
These matters that with myself I too much discuss
Too much explain
Because I do not hope to turn again
Let these words answer
For what is done, not to be done again
May the judgement not be too heavy upon us

...

Distraction, music of the flute, stops and steps of the mind
over the third stair,
Fading, fading; strength beyond hope and despair
Climbing the third stair.


Lord, I am not worthy
Lord, I am not worthy

but speak the word only.

...

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent
If the unheard, unspoken
Word is unspoken, unheard;
Still is the unspoken word, the Word unheard,
The Word without a word, the Word within
The world and for the world;
And the light shone in darkness and
Against the Word the unstilled world still whirled
About the centre of the silent Word.


O my people, what have I done unto thee.

Where shall the word be found, where will the word
Resound? Not here, there is not enough silence
Not on the sea or on the islands, not
On the mainland, in the desert or the rain land,
For those who walk in darkness
Both in the day time and in the night time
The right time and the right place are not here
No place of grace for those who avoid the face
No time to rejoice for those who walk among noise and deny the voice

...



yeah.. it really doesn't make sense if you only read the parts i've copied..

STRAIGHT NO CHASER lyrics

me and ny have a debate going.. what do you think its means?

for those born in February.. Happy Birthday and your birth flower is the violet

so i was driving down 275--- there are these really funny inflatable football guys on display on the side if you'll note-- and i noticed all these birds in the sky.. there were probably about four different groups of them flying in these weird circles.. and by circles i am referring to both the path they took and the formation in which they flew.. it was reminiscent of the school of fish in Finding Nemo... you know.. they looked as though they were lighting up when really they were just swishing their tails back and forth.. so yeah.. the birds were doing that kind of thing.. they were circles of what looked like iron fillings flying in circles and seemingly disappearing and reappearing.. in any case i was spellbound.. and i stared at the sky-- while of course carefully watching the road-- gee how pretty---

PLOP. PLOOP.. PLOploPLOOP...

those useless, ugly, vile flying rats crapped all over my car.. and by crap i mean diarrhea.. not like the normal poop.. it was piecy and brown.. like someone took a tablespoon of beach sand and a quarter cup of water and threw it at my window.. five times.. im not protective of my car or anything.. but really.. gross.

congrats to trace, mumu, and dann for making their respective 2xs's!! be sure to give a heads up for performances that we definitely shouldnt miss.. it'll be a good excuse to see you all again..
