Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with His heel,

Since God is marching on.

Battle Hymn of the Republic.

Medicine Man lay my head in your hands
Medicine Man you will clear my mind
Medicine Man can you heal my body
Medicine Man can you hear my cry?

Lately I feel like my life needs to be recorded. Maybe because I've done so much reading of late. But all of a sudden, I keep feeling the need to record every thought in my brain, every book I read movie I watch etc. And what's worse is I feel the need to publish it. For everyone to see. The internet is like exhibitionism for shy people. Parade your life around instead of your body. And at the same time it's a great way to stay connected with people, I know what Denise is reading right now from Living social. Don't even need to ask her. it's a creepy paradox of knowledge sans the quest for it. I mean sure i seek it out but at no real pains to me. easy access to information, a blessing or a curse?

And what does me posting these thoughts on LJ make me?

Creepy Neighbor Guy.

I'm working on forgiveness. I'm trying to be all Desmond Tutu about it. It's fucking hard. But today I was randomly and I must admit only momentarily grateful to the dickhead. And that scares me a little, but I think it's because if he hadn't completely destroyed me in those few minutes I wouldn't know that I can pick myself up and put myself back together again. I think I needed to know that.

" With thoughts of the tens of millions of human lives destroyed by other millions. I'll just say that I believe- no empirically, alas, but only theoretically- that, for someone who has read a lot of Dickens, to shoot his like in the name of some idea is somewhat more problematic than for someone who has read no Dickens... A literate, educated person, to be sure, is fully capable, after reading some political treatise or tract, of killing his like, and even of experiencing, in so doing a rapture of conviction. Lenin was literate, Stalin was literate, so was Hitler, as for Mao zedong, he even wrote verse. What all these men had in common, though was that ttheir hit list was longer than their reading list."

^^ That's awesome!

Anyway, I just got home from a really awesome evening. And I just wanted to share with you that my evening was awesome. Check out the pictures on facebook when they go up. Wish you all were here to share the awesomeness with me.

Oh and I actually had alcolhol today for the first time EVER. 3 sips of sparkling wine. but that counts I'm no longer an alcohol virgin...

It's GLOOMY TODAY!!! Rainy and grey and absolutely beautiful, and perfect, and I'm having a lovely day! Dorry was here for lunch (as per usual) and I made Salisbury steak and peas and potatoes and gravy, it was DELICIOUS. And we both just kind of curled up on separate corners of my bed and read, and ahhh it was just a lovely lovely day, I had a presentation for IT which i aced of course. And then I came home and cleaned, and I've been listening to jazz all day and GAH I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW PERFECTLY HAPPY I AM!!!!

*sigh* this day is perfect and i wish that all my days could be like this for the rest of all eternity.
