i've been wondering how to approach my family w/ my true feelings re: the jw's.
conveniently, my mother gave me an opening last night and i went for it.
i spent nearly four hours 'getting through' to her and was blown away, b/c she actually agreed w/ me.

because i love music so much, i wanted to start another thread on it.. what songs remind you of your ex?
the ones you have to turn off before you... a) cry your eyes out... b) get so angry you would like to curse out loud, or... d) you dont care, you like to be reminded of your past flings.. for me it would have to be anything from seal, or hootie and the blowfish, and anything jazz.
i dont a,b, or c, but i do get annoyed and dont like to be reminded so i switch the station.. anyone else?
My ex played this alot shortly before we broke up, still gets me sad to hear it since I never really payed attention to the lyrics until after we broke up.
Landslide - Stevie Nicks
I took my love, I took it down Climbed a mountain and I turned around
I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Till the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life
Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you get bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too
Oh, take my love, take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down.

picky picky picky... if you say you would throw any of these women out of bed, then you are more likely to be sleeping with brad pitt.
i saw that today the supreme court threw out the case with the atheist father arguing that the under god phrase in the pledge of allegiance was unconstitutional.
i guess the case was thrown out on a technicality because the daughter does not live with her father but with her christian mother thus making the father's case invalid.
i knew about this case but i did not realize that is was dubbie prez.
lol. I dont know about the f*ck christians bit, but I wouldn't worry too much. It was a technicality, which means they don't want to deal with it right now. I think the law would pull it out, but too many people would be angered by this, so they will push it off for a later time.
I am more concerned about the technicality and the precedent it will set for custody laws..
The ruling overturned a lower court decision that the religious reference made the pledge unconstitutional in public schools. But the decision did so on technical grounds, ruling the man who brought the case on behalf of his 10-year-old daughter could not legally represent her.
Newdow, who has fought a protracted custody battle with the girl's mother, was angered by the decision and the basis for it.
"She spends 10 days a month with me," he said. "The suggestion that I don't have sufficient custody is just incredible."

can't get over how good the new jet album get born is...there's a definate t-rex resurrection revival going on here....with a little ac/dc thrown in for good measure ..its awesome...some amazing acoustic guitar based guitar ballads too- a real ecclectic mix that hangs really well together..got to have the headphones on though as its got to be loud..now all i have to do is hope they get better before glastonbury.
what are you listening to tonight?
thanks to Huxley I have been listening to Neutral Milk Hotel.
Thanks again Hux, they are great. I even tabbed up oh comely.
i have not read the whole document but could not wait.... high energy magnetic monopole sequestered by u.s. government.

one -
The briefing was requested by Senator Smith (R-NH and Chair of the EPW) and Mr. David Conover (Chief of Staff-EPW) because of the need to look at energy and technology issues over times scales of 5-20 years. The briefing was organized by Dr. Theodore Loder and was held on Oct. 18, 2000 in the Senate Dirksen Building, Washington, DC.
btw the EPW is U.S Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works - http://epw.senate.gov/
I also thought this was interesting..
In summary, the risks associated with our present course are ever-increased environmental degradation coupled with a significant long lasting economic downturn, recession or depression.
As the old Chinese proverb states, ? if we do not change direction, we will likely end up where we are heading.? A simple look at the numbers story tells us that we must change direction dramatically, with vision and conviction.
As a world community, we must realize that we will need the last remaining decades of fossil fuels to create and integrate new energy sources without losing the momentum of our developing world society. Because the US is a major user of energy per capita and we affect environmental issues by both example and laws, we must lead on these issues.
Where do we want to be in 20-30 years from now as a country and a world?
We want to be at a point in our global development where we are no longer dependant on fossil fuels for our energy generation and we want to arrive there by a route that does not create global environmental and economic chaos.
What if we do not act now?
Again Lt. Col. Bearden?s comments: ?Make no mistake. This is the most deadly and certain strategic threat to the U.S. and the rest of the world, in all my experience. If we do not solve this energy problem, and deploy it very, very quickly with a massive effort, then we will overrun the 2003 "point of no return" and, just as an airplane does when it overruns the point of no return on the runway, this nation will be heading for a total crash, as surely as the sun will rise tomorrow. Yet everywhere one looks, one sees "business as usual," "trust us, we know best". . . . . .

This is a very interesting senate briefing regarding the energy crisis and unconventional energy sources.

Regarding how much oil we have left:
Gregg Esterbrook, in a recent article (2) discusses the world?s estimated oil reserves. Based on industry estimates, he suggests that there are estimated ?proven reserves? of 1,000 billion barrels of oil which only represents a 25 year supply at our present rate of consumption with its 2% annual increase. He states, ?Whatever number is correct, the world has decades of oil ahead. What it may not have is decades of cheap oil. Once the production peak comes and reserve levels begin to dwindle, the supply/demand equation may shift quickly toward higher prices. The debate, then, centers on how soon the peak will be reached.? Estimates are that the peak will be reached by 2010. At present, the global oil trade depends on OPEC for about 42% of its oil consumption which could hit 50% by 2009. If OPEC?s reserves turn out to be inflated as some in the industry believe, then the world oil production peak may occur much sooner with a subsequent sharp hike in prices. This is just barely within our time framework for introducing new technologies if we start now.

And personally, I am excited by the theories of zero-point energy. The only problem would be security, in theory it is capable of producing so much energy that a nuke would look like a firecracker.
Also, theoretically and experimentally, there is growing support for a breakthrough in zero point energy conversion[12], which is the subject of more than one patent, the most recent being Dr. Frank Mead?s patent #5,590,031
this guy isn't linked to jw or anything, it's just sad that tragedies like these are happening .

Yay!!! Bring on the olsen twins porn!! You know it is just a matter of time.
it may be a cheesy movie.
but ?the day after tomorrow?
has a message for president george w. bush.
Hiya Pat!
I am doing well. How are you?
I thought another reason why this can't be Bush/Cheney represented in this movie. This VP actually was seen in public several times. Our real VP has been hiding in a bunker counting his money for the last almost 4 years.
I guess we will have to wait to Fahrenheit 911 for some real (well deserved) Bush-bashing. The trailer is great if you haven't seen it.
