I've been gone
My seperation from those I hold so high in my heart is an unfortunate casualty of the battle within. An inner revolution set forth so long ago that it has become quite abysmal for me to deviate. Even in elementary school I was shamefully aware of the preternatural thought processes I had developed. I created different psychological games to help myself unlearn that negative behavior. The methods I've been practicing for the past 15 years have proven effective for me. All that I've accomplished, realized and continue to seek could not have been attained without intense personal reflect. The pseudo monk hood lasted about a year or so and though most may find such a great length of time devoted to oneself as an obscenely narcissistic endeavor. What I gained from that time has amounted to one of the greatest feelings I've ever experienced. All that I thought I once knew I now understand. I don't hesitate to say that 2005 was one of the greatest years of my life thus far. There is so much I have rediscovered within and without. So much in this world to suspend me in awe that I cannot be who I am not. I believe in everything and nothing and cherish my ambivalence. Despite all the judgements you have and will displace upon me I will not falter, I will be here. I will not judge you, I will be there. Maybe it is nothing more than a tumor grown too large and too deep that has consumed my will to live a life familiar. I believe in faith in humanity. Am I naive to believe that I can save the world one person at a time by letting you see yourself through my eyes? If fear can make anyone capable of the most inhumane acts then I have no choice.
No material item can give you what faith, love and awareness can. Believe in yourself and give someone else a better tomorrow.
See beyond yourself

Dear Senator
How fortunate are we to have the freedom to address our governing bodies with our concerns without fear for our safety. Whether or not we as citizens and you as servants of this great nation share the same beliefs, ideals, principles or faiths; we do share the freedom to do so, or more importantly to not do so. I ask that you and your colleagues please forgive our lack of appreciation for all you do. As a child may not understand the reasons of a parents rule; we protest your concern for our best interest. We trust our well being is a foremost thought when you neglect to listen. And in times of difficulty for you to discern what is best for "We the People" and best for your belief; you will refer to the proper guide in making your decision. Did we forget why our ancestors came to this land. Did we rewrite the fundamentals our fore fathers built our nation on. I did not forget how those before me fled religious persecution to this land. The people were forced to bear arms and give their lives for something greater than the land beneath their feet. And so it was written our right to freedom of thought, freedom of faith and freedom to live in pursuit of happiness. I am sure you are all quite aware of what you have dedicated your lives great efforts for. Maybe the lies, the pain and disregard for our concerns were to teach us all a great lesson. Is it the greed, the control, do we deserve this punishment or have you forgotten what it is that sustains our beloved nation, that which you stand upon. THE SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE!

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity.

The Russians used a pencil.
All radios in North Korea have been rigged so listeners can only receive a North Korean government station.
