My Uncle Mike sent this to me.
A mother mouse and a baby mouse were walking along, when all of a sudden, a cat attacked them. The mother mouse goes, "BARK!" and the cat runs away.
"See?" says the mother mouse to her baby. "Now do you see why it's important to learn a foreign language?"

Queensryche - Silent Lucidity
Hush now, don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over... or has it just begun?
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly you hear and see
This magic new dimension
I- will be watching over you
I- am gonna help you see it through
I- will protect you in the night
I- am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidity
[spoken during solo]
(Visualize your dream)
(Record it in the present tense)
(Put it into a permanent form)
(If you persist in your efforts)
(You can achieve dream control)
(Dream control)
(How are we feeling today, better??)
(Dream control, dream control)
(Help me)
If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but...
I- will be watching over you
I- am gonna help to see it through
I- will protect you in the night
I- am smiling next to you....
I miss you. My friend, my partner in crime... I will see you again one day.

Most people that know me, know that I am a smart ass, have a warped sense of humor, and above all, they know that I do not like to get mad. But something has been bothering me. It was not long ago that I was engaged in a conversation where it was me and a couple people across the pond. In this conversation, I was responding thinking that this was good conversation. Instead it was taken as my feathers getting ruffled (which wow... that is so far off base... welcome to la la land). Of course to diffuse the situation, then it was said that she's American (referring to me). I know I should not have let that bother me, but there was a part that set me right off. It wasn't the delivery of the message, it was the person who received the message said I figured (or something like that) and then all was well. I really struggled because I wanted to tear into that girl and hang her outside for the vultures to pick at. But I chalked it up to either a. ignorance or b. it was a joke. The problem is, at what point does a joke lose the funny punchline and turn into something serious? It really bothers me sometimes that people who do not know me at all, can generalize that I am American, so I must be an asshole, dumb as a box of rocks, and a plethora of other adjectives that put me in the same category as Teletubbies (only they speak better English).
CNN had an article up about the US and if it was still one of the global moral leaders. For the most part, the article was favorable. I don't think we are #1 in the class of moral leadership, but we're not the bottom of the barrel either. Yet, you can't have an article that gives America a smidgen of praise without some troll getting on there and turning it into a bash America fest. Then there was something on Youtube, some Arab festival in Michigan was disturbed by Christian protesters. Blah blah blah.... yay a pissing match of religions. But that was not what irritated me. You can put two people in a room and eventually they'll come to blows over something. It was the comment made below that once again put America in the dumb ass category. So I made a comment asking this person if he had been in America and met every single American that existed on this planet. Of course he has not, because he does not even live in this country. Great! So you're basing your opinion of Americans on shit you see on Youtube? You show me a country where there are no idiots, and I will pack my bags and move over there promptly. Of course his answer was partially written in sentences that made sense. And then he said something that set me off even more. It was YOUR Supreme Court that made it constitutional for big business. Uh... big business WHAT? WTF did the Supreme Court do? Don't even try to talk Constitutional law with me if you cannot even finish a sentence. World leader in stupid? Holy crap... even if we are number 1, there are plenty of other countries that are picking up the pace and could be passing us shortly if they already aren't running right beside us.
I just needed to vent. It is just really starting to bug me that I already have an auto tag of dumb ass just because of the country I was born in.

I am just kind of weirded out. I do not know how it was for others when they lost someone close to them. But I am having a hard time with things. I am going to try to explain it. Please do not think that this means I am going to go jump off a bridge. But it is something that I am struggling with.
I do not know how I managed to avoid it for 36 years, but I have managed to not really take in the totality of death.. until now. The sheer paranoia I feel when I think that one day, I am never going to wake up... that's the end of me, I almost think that medication would help calm the anxiety down. The world will go on, without me in it. The thought scares the shit out of me.
I never doubted my faith. And I still do not. I believe in what I believe. But I have no control over these thoughts. They come in, play it out in a way where my brain will throw me into a panic because picturing eternity is an impossibility.
I just don't know. I really don't.

This is seriously awesome.
Yeah my name is Link, man, I'm more well known than Lil
Wayne
Oh you thought my name was Zelda? THAT'S A F**KING
GIRL'S NAME!
I've saved the world like fifteen times and saved
the princess from demise
And I do it all alone, with no help and no advice
"Hey, Look, Listen" Hey, look, listen, you f**king
annoying fairy
I'd rather be forced to listen to constant Katy Perry
I think it's time I got some recognition, don't you
think?
Legend of Zelda? SCREW THAT! Legend of LINK.

Wears tights every day, don't give a damn what you say
Got bigger balls than even Evel Knievel
And he ain't gonna stop 'til the world is free of evil

I'll break all your pots and I best not hear your
bitchin'
I've got the Triforce of courage, BITCH! So you better
listen (that's right)
I'm called bushwhacker and my bank account's maxed out
Got 999 rupees and my leather wallet's packed now
Can't back down, can't slack now, the world needs me to
attack now
Yet I'm forced to pay out the ass for these bombs in
Castle Town
Just give me some heart containers and let me spit on
my ocarina
So I can kick that dumbass Ganon all the way to
Argentina

Yo, you low-life elf, need a ride up to the North Pole?
Santa's got a thing for elfs and he's getting' his
marriage annulled.
You really think saving the princess will convince me
you're straight? (Ha-ha!)
The "Uggs and Skirt" fad is so 2008!
Oh snap, it's Ganondorf tryin' to jock on my style
Batman's cape, Lincoln's beard, were you dressed by a
child?
You're a ginger with no soul and you look like a
f**king troll
Isn't kidnapping helpless girls getting a little bit
old?
You think Zelda's stupid enough to get kidnapped so
often?
She runs off to my castle, into my room and begs to get
locked in.
Yeah, she's sick of your little Deku nuts and your
girly fairy face
L-I-N-K? More like L-I-N-Gay.
Man, you should've been aborted, just like the Jersey
Shore
It's a damn lie you told about Zelda 'cause she loves
my master sword
It's a shame your whole life's been a waste trying to
rule Hyrule
'cause today will be the day known as "The day you got
schooled"

I have tried to extend my hand out to meeting new people and making new friends. And some of the new people I have met have been awesome. When I attended ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spaceface's graduation, I got to meet a lot of her family. I finally got to meet her sisters Steph and Jules (who are pretty awesome in their own unique way). I met Jule's man David who was hilarious. I met her dad and his other half. Her dad is pretty rad, and Rickey is a very sweet person. I met Rickey's daughter Tracy, who was pretty damn kick ass, and I can understand how Jess had a lot of fun with her when they traveled to Cancun. I already knew Colin, and he still remains cool. And of course Jess, which after 7 or 8 years (depending on what calendar you look at)remains one of the most awesome people I know. All of those people have their own unique qualities that made them very awesome to be around. Plus they were intelligent, with differing humor, but good humor nonetheless.
But I have also met people whose intentions are entirely questionable. One of the biggest reasons I stopped looking for men is because of school. But the ulterior motive behind that is because I am fucking tired of being used. I realize everybody uses everybody, and there are people that use that to the fullest extent. Well what people do not realize, that sentence about mutual using, does not mean selfish gain then disappear. It means that friends use each other for company, sharing a laugh, a cry, a fucking cheese sandwich, game tips, how to pull your own teeth and always come equipped with an industrial size can of whoop ass at the ready. That's what I view friendships as. I am not a one sided friendship kind of girl.
I remember when I was a kid, mutual friends were important. I didn't want to go play over at someone's house who didn't want to come over to my house too and play. We had mutual interests, whether it was mud pies, exploring some area that our parents told us not to go in, or riding a bike... it was simple and fun. And now that I am an adult, it remains that simple. It feels more complex because as we age, we hopefully gain knowledge and a better understanding of how we run, and how others run. But it is still a basic foundation...mutual interest. The addition of the internet and meeting people online, it is easy to act like you have a mutual interest. When you meet, then you realize that they were full of shit, and then the friendship pretty much falls by the wayside.
And now I am watching these people that are in question. And one by one as I make a determination on if they are genuine or so fake that I don't even think they know who they are... they either remain in my life, or are completely cut out. Mean? Maybe. Cold hearted? Could be. But this isn't a fucking Perry album where it is everyone else featuring Perry. It is MY FUCKING ALBUM. Being featured is a privilege and an honor.

Dear Brain,
Please stop flashing memories of Ron right before he died. You apparently don't understand that he had the shakes so bad, or that his mind was no longer working right. God I miss him so much. But I can't handle these flashbacks because it is always of the last few days of his life.
Bed.

Day 29 - The first song that plays when you put your ipod on shuffle
I <3 this song. And it is set to play when I start up my iPod.
Day 30 - Your favorite song at this time last year
This has pretty much always been a fave of mine.
Substantial post later. Right now I gotta try to keep my head in school mode.

Day 26 - A song that you wish you could play
I realize that the Death Waltz cannot be fully played by one piano... but it is awesome.
That is the Synthesia version... Now you'll see why I said one piano cannot play this piece fully.
Day 27 - A song from your childhood
I really cannot think of a song from my childhood.

Day 27 - A song from your childhood
I really cannot think of a song from my childhood.
If there were certain songs I loved, I could eventually break them down and learn how to play them on the piano. One of my favorites that I learned to play was:
I put this one up just in case I cannot find the one I really want. But I learned to play a lot of her music on the piano as it was incredibly beautiful.
Getting close... I might find this thing yet.
And I can't find the one. Well these will work.

I keep this song in my iPod because it makes me laugh every time. While the song was criticized because people thought he was bashing black people, it really is not bashing. If you actually listen to the song, he is playing on certain stereotypes of the police.
I will let the song speak for itself.
And then because I do not want people to cry because I am gone, even though the above song might spark some kind of tears.. this song definitely needs to be played.. if for no other reason then the fact that this song kicked some serious ass.

Oh FFS...those words leaves such a bad taste in my mouth. But let me think here. If I was going to actually walk down the aisle again, I would probably go for...
Easy peasy here.
Voodoo People makes you fly
Voodoo People makes you fly
Ignore the fact that the video says Temest... oi.
LOL! Anything that makes you want to break the hell out of some stuff is ideal angry music! One of my favorites though is..
Hmmm... don't really listen to the radio much anymore. But if I were to flip over to some channel, I would probably still have a good shot of hearing this song pop up during the day.
I'm guessing here...
I'm guessing here...
I have one that sticks out in my mind right away. Back in the day before MP3 players and satellite radio, regular pop radio played the hell out of any song that got any kind of remote fame. And when this song first came out, I LOVED it. I looked forward to hearing this song. Fast forward to about three weeks later, and when it came on, I secretly wished for technical failure.
And to this day... I do not like this song. It was overkill.... in every sense of the word.
