metablogging...like a boss

apperently i have to blog about blogging...which is like that leonardo di capreo movie.

Rise against; hero of war

I chose this song because ever since i was a little kid i wanted to serve in the military and fight for my country. sometimes peoplehave to do things that they really dont want too, be it still must be done. i have a hard time doing that, but i need too. this song reminds me of this

Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
Just carry this gun, you'll even get paid"
I said, "That sounds pretty good"

Black leather boots, spit shined so bright
They cut off my hair but it looks alright
We marched and we sang
We all became friends as we learned how to fight

A hero of war, yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home they'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag to the grave if I must
'Cause it's flag that I love and a flag that I trust

I kicked in the door, I yelled my commands
The children they cried but I got my man
We took him away, a bag over his face
From his family and his friends

They took off his clothes, they pissed in his hands
I told them to stop but then I joined in
We beat him with guns and batons
Not just once but again and again

A hero of war, yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home they'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag to the grave if I must
'Cause it's flag that I love and a flag that I trust

She walked through bullets and haze
I asked her to stop, I begged her to stay
But she pressed on
So I lifted my gun and I fired away

And the shells jumped through the smoke
And into the sand that the blood now had soaked
She collapsed with a flag in her hand
A flag white as snow

A hero of war is that what they see
Just medals and scars, so damn proud of me
And I brought home that flag, now it gathers dust
But it's a flag that I love, it's the only flag I trust

He said, "Son, have you seen the world?
Well, what would you say if I said that you could?"

unless

my new neighbors that just moved in have this car with a bumper sticker that says unless. I have passed by that sticker and always wondered 'what does that mean?' today i finally asked and she said unless we have more nice people the world will never get better. i wanted to knoe if that is really all there is to fix the world. if everyone was nice to eachother then the world would be a better place. if it is so easy why is the world such a horrible place? why dont these "mean" people want to live in a better world?

are athiest under attack?

Yes. we who have never lived anywhere other then HoCo wouldnt really understand how awful people actually can be.  in a place, like texas or montana, most of the entire state is christian.  being an athiest in a place like that can not only be dangerous, but can be super annoying.  people in these places think that being an athiest is like have some illness.  if you give enough minister it will go away. people dont really understand that most athiest are actually happy being athiest. they dont want to change their ideas.

Athiest Government...

As a conservative, it may be strange to want some of my representatives to be athiest.  but i do not think that the government is the place for religion. i think that the government should mostly stay out of our lives and only be there to protect us. i have known many religious people over the years, and just about all of them like to be in the middle of my life. if there was no religion in the government then people would be able to have abortions, gays would be allowed to marry, and the government wouldnt be wasting their time arguing about petty things and actually get us out of this reccession.

Avenged sevenfold: afterlife

This bands drummer died in 2009. RIP REV

Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen
so unsure but it seems, ’cause we’ve been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway

I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right
Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be
Arrived too early

And when I think of all the places I just don't belong
I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far

I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
’Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here

A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain, ’cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway

This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time (I’m much too young to fall)
So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign
I've made up my mind

Gave me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life

I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
’Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right

Loved ones back home all crying ’cause they're already missing me
I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken; I’m choking on this ecstasy)
Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)

I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
’Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right
