this morning when i woke up and heard we were in store for four more years of this crap i cried alot. i lost seven friends on 9/11. my brother graduated w/ 1/3 of the firefighters that died that day , i have 2 cousins and friends in Iraq. Nothing 's Changed and my dear God its a Sad day!
i listened to one of my fav. Dave Matthews Songs called "Raven" . the song reminds me of the way its felt *to me* since the Bush's took over. i wanted to share the lyrics to the song w/ You All. if You have the chance , listen to the tune its really good.

DAVE MATTHEWS BAND - Raven Lyrics

What you got what you got in your hand?
a father said to son
I got the whole world here Daddy
between my fingers and my thumb
Well you take care of it please-- its the only one
Well it would take me a life time old man
to undo what you've done

Oh come on now boy think-- what would Jesus do?
He shake his head like an angry mother
Smoke the boy and say I did what I could do
But you take care of it please
It's the only one you got
And it'd take ten lifetimes boy to undo what I've done

Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leaving
Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood alone thinking
One hand is bleeding
and the other holds a gun

While everything is open
Everything is shut down,down, down
Begin to ending is really
Just a go round, and round, and round
As I stand here-- the ground beneath is nothing
more than one point of view

What you got what you got in your hand?
Your secrets safe with me
Well I found the truth friend
Let me whisper in your ear
Take good care of it please
Its the only one there is
Can I twist it please can I give it just a little twist?

One hand is open and the other hands holds the gun
Everything is open
Now everything coming down, down, down
No one is hoping,even if you know
You never know it all
Nothing more than my point of view
Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leaving
The man stood there twisting

Take Care of Each Other ,
warmest regards , jade

Dave may not be my faveriot artist but he dose have some really good songs. As for myself there are a few songs i like when feelin a bit down one being "Paralyzed" by Kiss
one line in particular (which kinda is the way i feel about bush)

"Who says i have to pay? I didnt want this anyway"

And the othere is "Last Day on Earth" by Marlyn Manson (very weird guy even by me but his music is actually quite good) the song went somthing like

"I know it's the last day on earth, we'll be together while the planet dies.
I know its the last day on earth, We'll never say good-bye"

Midear Ali-

I too am a little stunned by this turn of events. It seems so very dark now that I can offer no comfort, only my sympathies..

stay warm,
Lawrence

Never underestimate the power of
Religious zelots.. I say it takes one
to know one and in order to fight
against those whom bring terror, kill, n
maim in the name of religions need
the same from the oppisite side to
fight back in like. Remember that
two negitives ALWAYS cancels out
each other. ~wink~ have faith in
the American People, I do.
