Song for 34 Weeks of Mourning
Counting Blue Cars
Must of been mid afternoon
I could tell by how far the child's shadow stretched out and
He walked with a purpose
In his sneakers, down the street
He had, many questions
Like children often do
He said,
Tell me all your thoughts on God
Tell me am I very far?
Must of been late afternoon
On our way the sun broke free of the clouds
We count only blue cars
Skip the cracks, in the street
And ask many questions
Like children often do
We said,
Tell me all your thoughts on God
'Cause I would really like to meet her
And ask her why we're who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God,
'Cause I am on my way to see her
So tell me am I very far -
Am I very far now?
Its getting cold picked up the pace
How our shoes make hard noises in this place
Our clothes are stained
We pass many, cross eyed people
And ask many questions
Like children often do
Tell me all your thoughts on God
'Cause I would really like to meet her
And ask her why we're who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God
'Cause I am on my way to see her
So tell me am I very far?
Am I very far now?
Am I very far now?
Am I very far now?

MySpace & why I love it!
What a lonely world it was before MySpace! The whole concept snuck into our lives, quietly... I remember sitting down with the kids and figgerin out how to create pages for them, that was last December already... Then we forgot about it. Then Joanna showed Hayden her page, some of our friends discovered it, then some more, and a few more, then I found MySpace Music and began to listen to folks I'd never heard of before and becoming friends with our favorites, then suddenly the desire to decorate and self-express led to the cutting and pasting that made html less daunting and I was neck-deep in MySpace Life!! Then I went to Live and Learn and my friend list *exploded* happily into a huge social network (and my very own fanclub!). Not just folks I know and love, but some I want to know more of and many I've come to love!
It's a great way for me to keep Hannah's stuff up-to-date, she seems to be an incredible ambassador for MySpace :)
I've come across a few political pages I endorse, mostly in response to my friend John's nauseatingly narrow-minded MySpace icons (which I now see he has removed... maybe my incredible logic and brilliant wisdom have enlightened him!?). As I was poking around today, I discovered that Jack Billion, our favorite candidate for Governor, has his own page!! (I saw him today at our local coffee shop - a real local shop, not a corporate coffee place disguised as local - and he's just a sweetheart) I kept poking and found my good friend, SuZan Nolan's page, too!! She's Westriver, running for a seat in the state's House of Reps.
I'll be decorating my page with more vote decals, as we've only got a few very important days left before election day and, bottom line, my consititional rights are on the block and voting is more important than ever (it's always important, but those of us XX carriers have an added responsibility in SD this year!)

Balance
Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20)
Trying to keep your life in balance can be quite a challenge now, for it's difficult to know how to pace yourself. You want to do enough to see progress, but you don't want to wear yourself out before you reach your destination. Take time out to relax along the way and you will be able reach more distant destinations.
What a concept!! Yesterday's advice of letting go seems to aid in the crusade for balance... I need to relax, breathe deeply and enjoy my now. Certainly applicable to every facet of my life.
Hmmmm... how 'bout some eyecandy to help me along :::vbg:::

There's a Gas Problem in this town...
and it's not all the fat people eating fast food, either!!
Being a newsphobe, I'm always a step or two behind the city's excitement [thankfully!], but when I heard the story of this natural gas leak and our city's response... well, I had to share! I can't find a video on YouTube (yet, anyway) but the news story is here with pictures and everything! Short story: a guy pulls up to the intersection, la la la, and suddenly his car is engulfed in flames, there are flames shooting out the drain thingamabobbers on the street and flying manhole covers, holes filled with fire! There's a leak folks! and surprise! it can't be put out! I wish I could say only in Souf'akota, but I don't think so...
This particular story gives rise to two memories: 1) Marty and Hayden's bombs on the manhole cover, the flames actually went down the little holes, pretty cool! and 2) the Northridge Earthquake 1994, when Devonshire Blvd cracked open and water was running all over the streets and there were HUGE flames shooting right up the middle!! eek!
As I'm looking for video coverage of the above story, I discover it's not the first gas explosion of the season!! I can't get audio on this clip, just watch the first few minutes...
and I thought between the cows and the obesity we had issues... now we've got more! Yay us!!

Dear Editor,
I was born in the United States, which makes the Constitution my birthright. Because I live in South Dakota and I happen to be female, my 4th amendment right to privacy doesn't apply? Referred law 6 might talk about termination of pregnancy, but I see it as a termination of the rights set forth by our Constitution. The term abortion should not be used by politicians, it's not their business what goes on in a doctor's office (not even if you're getting a vasectomy or a prescription for Prozac). We're not talking about *just* a medical procedure here folks, we're talking about denying equal rights to over half our population because they happen to carry XX chromosomes instead of XY. Please, please, please protect all of our Consititutional rights for ALL of our citizens by standing up and saying that women ARE guaranteed the same protection and vote NO on 6.

I just submitted it, I'll let ya know if it's published...

Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20)
Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20)
You might not want to undertake any sort of physical labor today, for you could easily overdo it, leaving yourself exhausted. Instead of being so careful with your feelings, try letting go of them without attachment to any specific outcome. This frees the spirit to feel the nurturing energy all around.

In the middle of my Pity Party...
this horoscope comes today:
You might learn something today that sounds bad at first, but proves beneficial in the long run. It's best not to react with your own fears, for that could just make it worse. Instead, listen carefully to what you are told and then do your best to integrate this new information into your perspective. Flexibility may not come easily now, yet it's exactly what you need.
***************************
Flex, Flex, Flex, Flex... we'll see...

Lonely Bones
...it's my moon time! My face is a mess and I'm bawling all the ding-dang time!! I think it's all the tears I was scared to cry in the first few months, when I was so raw and fragile and needing to be so strong and so on top of every freaking thing in my world... they're here now and they're not afraid to fall. Tim McGraw has been making me cry a lot lately (as you may remember, he's married to Mitch's second choice for a wife, Faith Hill) with two amazing songs:
We Carry On
And we carry on
When our lives come undone
We carry on
Cause there's promise in the morning sun
We carry on
As the dark surrenders to the dawn
We were born to overcome
We carry on
Beyond the picket fences and the oil wells
The happy endings and the fairy tales
Is the reality of shattered lives and broken dreams
We carry on
It's the family that grieves for a lost loved one
It's the soldier who won't leave til the job is done
It's the addict trying to turn his life around
It's picking yourself off the ground when you've been knocked down
& Live Like You Were Dyin'
[Chorus]
I went sky divin',
I went rocky mountain climbin',
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull name Fumanchu.
And I loved deeper,
And I spoke sweeter,
And I gave forgiveness I've been denying,
And he said someday I hope you get the chance,
To live like you were dyin'.
He said I was finally the husband,
That most the time I wasn't.
And I became a friend a friend would like to have.
And all the sudden goin' fishing,
Wasn't such an imposition.
And I went three times that year I lost my dad.
Well I finally read the good book,
And I took a good long hard look at what I'd do
If I could do it all again.
And then.
[Chorus]
Like tomorrow was a gift and you've got eternity
To think about what you do with it,
What could you do with it, what can
I do with with it, what would I do with it.
And if you don't know either of those, but you'd like a good cry, check out my page at MySpace (link is in that link list over there or here) and listen to In My Daughter's Eyes by Martina McBride... we'll cry together!
It's late, I think I'm gonna lay in bed and get started...
