That's right, I'm distantly related to notorious western outlaw Jesse James! Does that mean I get a star?

A single word from thy mouth
by: Amy

At night time when all is asleep, he comes out
Mr. No one, as he calls himself humbly.
And at night he visits the places he use to love
and the people that use to love him
He is no one, but a voice from the past
A memory
Yet he hopes to evoke imagination
and a determined heart
To stand up for what is right
to fight till the fight is done
“No more will darkness rule!” He screams.
Until he finds out nobody cares
and he walks away mournfully in the dark
But he will come out again-
when all eyes are shut
when people dream
Yet he hopes there might be someone out there to stand.
Today.

Rules

A shooting star rips through the dark sky,
Tears my heart in two,
And closes my eyes...

A scene is drawn out in my mind,
The things I must do,
And what I should find...

An empty page lies before me,
The rules aren't written,
And I am lonely...

A single moment ruins it all,
The walls cave in,
And crumble and fall...

Now I know what I must do,
I must not hold back,
And find a way through...

As for now, I need no sign,
To show me the path,
And keep me in line...

I can play by my own rules,
Guide myself;
I need no tools...

A heart, a soul, a mind, a song,
Is all I need,
And I belong...

Reality

Sometimes I look at the world and I smile,
I toss all my worries off into a pile;
I forget all the bad, all the horrible things,
I leave them behind, like a bird without wings;
For a moment or two, everything seems all right,
Until my problems climb higher, to a glorious height;
As everything happening starts to sink in,
I feel trapped, I feel lost, I feel caged, I feel beaten;
And I'm about to give up when somehow I know,
That whatever I do and wherever I go,
That reality will be tough, will be cruel, will be hard on my mind,
But when I look deep down inside, it's answers I'll find.

My answer: Jesus never lied. He truly believed that as the son Of caesar he was the next god in line over the Roman Empire. Jesus said "I will inherit my fathers kingdom". Fill me in. Was there another kingdom. Was there another earthly god. Were the Jews pulling nice folks legs?
Grow up guys. It is 2007. Not 07. You should be growing out of the fantasies forced on you by mom.

An "albino" decendant of Jesus would make Hitler look like pea soup.
revelation 1:14 is how I know Jesus was an albino. Plus many other reasons. Put you imaginary fantasies in your pocket. Read Revelation 1;14. You have a living albino standing there.
The sword was a Roman military weapon. It was sticking out of Jesus's sword scabbard. His feet wore roman military boots. Pleas don't bore me with other explanations from church. I am reading what it says and taking it literally and seeing through the smokescreen of myth that you all adhere so reverently to.
The Illuminati are the coaches of the Vatican. Hitler challenge Pius and Hitlers army froze to death in the Siberian winter. You do not challenge the Illuminati. If you do you will die.
And it was a exceptionally severe winter. You do not know what power secrets have been handed down for generations. Some have said my IQ is 80. What IQ does it take to believe Jesus was born of a virgin. Duh.

When you get a good book, where do you love to read it? In the house, coffeshops, parks...ANYWHERE! Please share, I hate reading in my bed, as it's usually uncomfortable because you have to hold the book up and my arms get tired...

"An Angel's Wings"

There were times I asked for help,
A guardian's magical touch.
I wanted someone to carry me
So it wouldn't hurt so much.
I asked for the strength of a Titan,
To overcome the heavy walls.
I aksed for the heart of a lion,
For teh courage to never fall.
I asked for the help of an angel,
I asked for angel wings
To carry me over the parapet
And through the burning rings.
Finally, I realized
What I held within myself.
All these traits and others -
I didn't need that help!
And though I had prayed for them
And hid behind a smile
I really DID have angel wings
And they were carrying me all the while!

I just read "Geralds Way" and it was an absolutely appalling book. I think he was trying something new there but seriously botched it up.

Then I read "Dreamcatcher" and that was a bit better but still quite poor.

Then I tried "Insomnia" and after 100 pages of sheer boredom I gave up.

Is he so popular because they have made some brilliant films out of his books?

I think he has some pretty good ideas but they are not exactly genius or unique - a virus wipes out the world but a few people are left, a clown that scares people, a man goes mad in a desolate hotel, green aliens attack a group of men on a camping trip, and so on and so on.

Sure he is ok, but I definitely think he is completely overrated and this is probably because people have made such brilliant films out of his books.

I think Dean Koontz is a much better author. The ideas are completely unique and original and the characterisation is so much better, you almost fall in love with some of the characters.

Long time since
feeling this way.
Feeling at all.
The joy of day.
More emotions
than anger and hate.
Blissful feelings,
a euphoric state.
There it was gone.
Blood has been boiled.
Feeling of joy,
so easily spoiled.
Feeling of happiness,
will I ever truly know?
At this moment in time,
the answer is NO.

In a 1932 speech to the German League for Human Rights, Einstein summarized his dismissal of free will in these terms:

I don’t believe in the freedom of the will. Schopenhauer’s saying, that a human can very well do what he wants, but cannot will what he wants, accompanies me in all of life’s circumstances and reconciles me with the actions of humans, even when they are truly distressing. This knowledge of the non-freedom of the will protects me from losing my good humor and taking much too seriously myself and my fellow humans as acting and judging individuals.[56]

because you can choose to have one shugar or two in your coffiey, what makes you think you have free choise?
