10.22.8

One of my girls told me today that she was voting for McCain because she thought Palin was pretty. I almost kicked her out of my apt. I couldn't believe my ears. I went on and on about how incompetent and air headed she is, and she still wasn't trying to hear me. I then told her about how she couldn't name any Supreme Court cases but Roe vs Wade, and under extreme pressure she said that she thinks that Brown vs Board of Education should be left up to the states. I then I told her if that were to happen that little black and white kids couldn't be friends, because they would be segregated. She then said she was going to vote for Obama. I'm think that she will have the Bradley affect at the polls...

Lets say my life has taken another drastic change. I pray..and by golly he answers. Literally like the next day..VERY QUICKLY. I really don't want to get into the issue to much, but whatever it is left me devastated yesterday. I was mentally and emotionally exhausted. I was home starring into space in the wee hours of the night, and a voice from the sky said, "Call your cousin." So I did. He's a minister. He told me exactly what I already knew, and we prayed. I told him about my whole not really knowing about Jesus being the be all end all, and he told me he understood. I felt relieved somewhat after all that.

Anyway, this too shall pass... But "this" passing hurts like gallstones..and I wish they would just stop passing..

Joe Biden..stop talking so much..You tend to blurt out information that the "others" don't need to hear.

**********************************

I reach my hands up
10 streched out wide
And surrender myself
To the King
And Queen of the sky
Because I cannot navigate
On my own
Throughout this life of mine
Because I keep losing my way
Searching quite diligently
For that bright light

I am stubborn
I am blind
I refuse to open my eyes daily
So they remain shut
Everythings dark
And I'm working on making images blurry
Because I continousouly
Move throughout life
Always stumbling
And bumping into stuff
But at this moment here

I'm going to blink
I'm opening my eyes
Then.....
My feet will take off
To follow what I see
Running for help
King or Queen
Please..Please help me

I just found out that a good friend of mine had has never voted before. "You mean to tell me you were apart of the problem 4 years ago?"....jeez.
