Stream...

The girl has daisies in her eyes.
And a smile made of sugar.
Shes not aware of how rotten our world is.
Shes got cheeks as pink as a sunset.
And hair as brilliant as the sun.
She prances around barefoot like everyone is pure.
I had a dream where a horrid man reminded me...
"not all people are good people..."
How is it that even in my sleep I seek out those who need help?
I just want to scream that I will fix you.
All of you.
But who will fix me?

Surrender

They are always fooling me.
Leading me astray.
Confusing the shit outta me.
Here I go.
I surrender.
Im walking out with my hands in the air.
My only weapons, my walls, Im laying them down.
Youll see right through me.
Only because I will let you.
I surrender.
Ask and I will tell you.
Here are my emotions, my dreams, my fears, my beliefs.
Im laying them out on the table.
I surrender.
Im sick of fighting them.
So I surrender.
Its a never ending battle.
I tired of protecting myself.
Im sick of being a prisoner of my own war.
Here's my white flag, its waving.
I surrender.

The proverb of the Ant and the Grasshopper

TRADITIONAL VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MODERN VERSION:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.'
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton stage a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, 'We shall overcome.' The Race Brothers have the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.
Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity and Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer!
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.
Hillary Clinton gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients.
The ant loses the case. The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't do anything to maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow. The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be very careful how you vote in 2008

Gay Jesus play angers Australian church leaders

SYDNEY (Reuters) - A controversial play that depicts Jesus being seduced by Judas and conducting a gay marriage for two apostles has been condemned by church leaders ahead of its opening in Sydney.
The Anglican Bishop of South Sydney, Robert Forsyth, expressed his outrage at the plot of "Corpus Christi" on Sunday, calling the play "historical nonsense."
"It is deliberately, not innocently, offensive and they're obviously having a laugh about it," he told the Sun-Herald newspaper. "I wouldn't want to go and see it. Life's too short."
Set to open on February 7 as part of Sydney's annual Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras festival, "Corpus Christi" depicts Jesus and his followers as gay, and ends with Jesus being crucified.
Despite critical acclaim, the play provoked protests and bomb threats when it was performed in the United States.
Playwright Terrence McNally received a death edict, or fatwa, from a UK-based Islamic group, which declared it blasphemous when the play ran in London in 1999.
McNally, who is gay, has said he wrote the piece to explore parallels between Christ's persecution and the rejection he faced as a young gay man growing up in Texas.
Sydney Mardi Gras organizers describe it on the festival Web site as "a play that speaks out against inhumanity by providing a witty, contemporary interpretation of Jesus' life" . Director Leigh Romney, who is staging the work in Australia, rejected accusations the play mocks Christ.
Rowney said that as a Christian himself, he was keen to provoke debate.
"I wanted this play in the hands of a Christian person like myself to give it dignity but still open it up to answering questions about Christianity as a faith system," Rowney said.

RENO FTMC


I have one true belief in life.
There are two types of people.
The ones who dont feel enough.
The ones who feel to much.
I have been telling people about my feelings on this lately.
I am a Feel To Much.
Always have been.
Always will be.
It scares people away.
I usually only share this with those who also Feel To Much.
The ones who dont feel enough dont understand.
They just dont get it.
I decided to start a crew.....
here is the birth of FTMC.
Currently there are only a few of us.
I know it will spread.
I know I will find more.
I know we will all find each other.
