I recently purchased the current album by Si Se, entitled "More Shine"

I have an obsession with the song titled "The Truth"


It's the eloquent innocence of the music and singing, that masks the villainous meaning of the words.


You can download it here: The Truth

Just for kicks

Behind these eyes, is everything you will never understand.

It's 8:30 in the morning. And strangly enough, I find myself singing with the birds. I rarely see the morning anymore, but I love them.

....

I still think about her behind
the mirror

when i'm alone...

Congratulations Candor

Congratulations. I always supported the now and corrected people when things were said in opposition. Thinking back on it all, I guess my only problem was trying to bring honesty to the sides. That really wasn't my place, but as a friend, I thought it was my responsibility. I apologize now. I asked for honesty, but that's forgotten now. Those are only details. It's palpable to all now. No need for ensconce. I wish many happy years ahead. The ending and the happiness is more important then the details in getting there. I can only wish happiness to all. Cheers and God bless.

Life Begins At Forty

It's a new year in my book. I'm one year older, there's one less year I have to live, one year closer to having my career in order, and most importantly, one more year closer to the day the bible predicts.
This year I decided not to make a list of change, because with lists there can only be two solutions, success or failure. I tend to see life outside the lines of a book. There are a thousand ways to the end, with countless paths you can pick. Some right, some wrong, some better, some neutral, and I in no way claim to be a saint. I'm stained with the devil's blood himself. But, for once in my life, I'm choosing to take responsibility for my actions. I'm choosing to be the responsible person I've always imagined. I'm finally starting what I should have done years ago. I'm getting my life in order.
I can never forget this one thing my grandfather said to me, "it's not about how you start in life, it's about how you finish." The wisdom in those words. He acknowledged I would make mistakes, I would stray, I would waist time doing nothing. And yet, he made it known to me that no matter the mistakes I would make, that I could still finish, which in the end is most import.
Now, it's time for the change. Weeding out is the first stage. I'm weeding out situations, people, things, and everything else that has everything to do with nothing. If I don't answer my phone, I don't want to talk to you. If you all of a sudden don't see me online anymore, I blocked you. If you see me and I don't acknowledge your existence, you don't exist, at least to me and in my mind.
I've gone my length. I've tried my best. I did what I believed was right. I never made a choice because it would benefit me. I loved everyone. Now, it's time to let go of everything and everyone.

It's your turn.

Let It Go

Sam shared this article with me a few months ago.. I thought I'd post it on here and see if it brings any comfort to anyone else, as it did for me..


Let it go for 2004...by T. D. Jakes

There are people who can walk away from you.
And hear me when I tell you this!
When people can walk away from you: let them walk.

I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you,
loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you,
staying attached to you.
I mean hang up the phone.

When people can walk away from you let them walk.
Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.
The bible said that,
They came out from us that it might be made manifest
that they were not for us.
For had they been of us,
no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19]

People leave you because they are not joined to you.
And if they are not joined to you,
you can't make them stay.
Let them go.

And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person,
it just means that their part in the story is over.
And you've got to know when people's
part in your story is over so that you
don't keep trying to raise the dead.

You've got to know when it's dead.
You've got to know when it's over.
Let me tell you something.
I've got the gift of good-bye.
It's the tenth spiritual gift,
I believe in good-bye.

It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful,
and I know whatever God means for me to have
He'll give it to me.
And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it.
Stop begging people to stay.
Let them go!!

If you are holding on to something
that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life,
then you need to ..LET IT GO!!!

level in Him...

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship....
LET IT GO!!!

If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help
themselves..
LET IT GO!!!

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling
yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need to..
LET IT GO!!!

Forget the former things.
GOD is doing a new thing for 2004!!!
LET IT GO!!!

Get Right or Get Left .. think about it, and then
LET IT GO!!!
