3:34 PM - Care to guess?

The formation stands erect
Through sun rain and snow
Silently percieving
The people come and go
Lips drawn tight they stand
Stoic sleek and solemn
They rise above the rest
A grandiose imperial column
All cut from one mold
Yet each piece unique
They persist despite time
Defining antique
Their architecture flawless
Symmetry, the key
Their vigil neverending
The scene amazes me

8:12 AM - Youuuu. *teehee* ^_^

8:59 AM - Saturn huh? O.o

You Should Rule Saturn

Saturn is a mysterious planet that can rarely be seen with the naked eye. You are perfect to rule Saturn because like its rings, you don't always follow the rules of nature. And like Saturn, to really be able to understand you, someone must delve beyond your appearance. You are not an easy person to befriend. However, once you enter a friendship, you'll be a friend for life. You think slowly but deeply. You only gain great understanding after a situation has past.

What Planet Should You Rule?

6:10 PM - because i [[can]] *teehee*

7:58 AM - Awareness... A Wake-Up Call.

PS. I got this from Stephen. :D

The following remarks are those of none other than Jay Leno, host of
The Tonight Show. Even if you are not a Jay Leno fan, please consider
what he had to say this Memorial Day:


"The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some
poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true, though, given
the source, right? The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of
Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed and 69 percent
of the country is unhappy with the performance of the president. In
essence two thirds of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change.

So, being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, ''What we are
so unhappy about?''

Is it that we have unlimited electricity and running water 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week?

Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer
and heating in the winter?

Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job?

Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time and
see more food in moments than Darfurans
have seen in the last year?

Maybe it's the freedom to drive from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic
Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move
through each state?

Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along
the way that can provide temporary shelter?

I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from
around the world is just not good enough. Makes me sad, just thinking about
it!

Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up
and provide services to help everyone and even send a helicopter to take
you to the hospital.

Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home. Are
you upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group
of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use state of the art
equipment to extinguish the flames, thus saving you, your family and
your belongings? Is that what's got you so ticked off?

Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a
burglar or prowler intrudes, a highly trained officer equipped with a gun
and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family against
attack or loss.

Bear in mind this is all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of
terrorists' bombs or enemy militias raping and pillaging the residents'
neighborhoods where 90 percent of teenagers own cell phones, computers,
MP3s and iPods.

How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we
enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the entire world? Maybe that is what
has 67 percent of you folks unhappy.

Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the
world has ever seen!
No wonder the world loves the U.S., yet has a great disdain for its
citizens: they see us for what we are: the most blessed people in the
world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have, and what we
hate about the very country we live in instead of thanking the good Lord
we live here!

I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has
no plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31 percent
approval rating?

Is this the same president who guided the nation through those dark
days following the events of 9/11?

The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession?

Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the book
for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from
terrorist attacks?

The commander in chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there
defending you and me?

Think about it. Did you hear about how bad the President is from news
reports or perhaps from viewing some talk show on television?

Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take
a look around for yourself and see all the good things you have and be
glad; maybe even a little bit grateful?

Think about it......are you upset at the President because he actually
caused you personal pain OR is it because the "Media" told you he was
failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day?

Make no mistake about it. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have
volunteered to serve, and in many cases have died for your freedom There is
currently no draft in this country. They didn't have to go. They are
able to refuse to go and receive either a ''general'' discharge, an
''other than honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a
''dishonorable'' discharge after only a few days in the brig. The point is, they
didn't have to go!

So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of
Americans?

Say what you want but I blame it on the media. "If it bleeds it leads",
and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash with
blood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the
corner? The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations.
They offer what sells, and when criticized, try to defend their actions
by "justifying" them in one way or another. But, just ask yourself why
they tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book about
how he didn't kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it this
way......Insane!

Stop buying the negativism you are fed everyday by the media. Shut off
the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of
your bird cage.

Then start being grateful for all we have as a country. There is
exponentially more good than bad. We are the most blessed people on Earth and
should thank God several times a day, or at least be grateful and
appreciative.

Think about it. Ask yourself, with hurricanes, tornados, fires out of
control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the
country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and
terrorist attacks, "Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the
Pledge of Allegiance?"
