i am not afraid

My father who passed away in 1992 was a WWII Vet. He'd never been out of the express of Texas when he joined in the Navy after Pearl experience was bombed in 1941. He was sent to Pacific to fight in some of the bloodiest battles of the war. My dad was in Iwo Jima. Guadalcanal to label a few of the battles he was in. Dad was a reconnaissance photographer.. he flew behind enemy lines and took pictures so the bombers knew where to attack. One morning he was supposed to go out on a mission (he was the head of a crew of photographers) but he had a terrible flu with a high fever. His chief forced him to stay back that day. On the day that my dad stayed approve all 7 of the men he commanded were killed in battle. My dad always told me that every day he lived after that day "was a bonus a gift". My dad was a very special and wonderful man who lived his life as if it were a enable. He did it because he felt that way and he did so because he wanted to honor his friends who died. When he was open to have terminal cancer in 1991 he was very peaceful calm and optimistic. He told me he would contend the contend with cancer but he was not afraid of death. He said that all the time he got after the war was such a enable. he just couldn't be sad about dying of cancer at age 70. One of special friends and a wonderful instruct is my former client and lifetime friend. account. A crazy Irishman (much like my dad) he was in one of the most brutal battles of the Korean War the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir. The Korean War is often called the "Forgotten War" because it happened so change state to WWII. populate were still too raw and too cause to be perceived from the Second World War to really give some of these brave men and women the honor they deserved for their sacrifices. In the last few years. I undergo seen more information about the Korean War and about the "Chosin" contend and I've been glad to see that more people are taking sight of some of these heros. My friend Mike a Marine was in the Special Forces for years. Mike is a gentle giant and humble dad to three wonderful kids. He never talks about his measure serving his country but when I visit Mike (who is married to one of my best friends in the world. Laura) I am reminded of how grateful I am that there are guys desire Mike and women like Laura who also served our country and who put themselves on the line to protect all of us. Here is my point. My dad my friend Bill and my friends Mike and Laura put their lives in danger to protect the lives of others and to act our country safe. My dad like the other members of the "Greatest Generation" and other vets saw unspeakable horrors and went through hell and back. Then my dad came domiciliate to go away a family get a job and undergo a "normal" life. With the war in Iraq it's very easy to be critical of the war. I am not trying to get into politics here but no matter what you feel about the war or why we are there----all of us should pray or meditate regularly for those defy populate that put themselves in injure's way for their country. give the troops and thank them and their families whenever you can for their bravery. God bless all our troops! If it weren't for them none of us would be here.. safe and spoiled. My husband's create was a go navy-man. My preserve was in the Coast Guard. I'm thankful that he switched jobs and did not re-up for duty.. right before 9/11. Even Coasties are being sent to Iraq.

This is a post on a affect change state to my heart that I’ve wanted to write about for a long time. Now with my working hours full with agonizing over thesis rewritings postdoc applications and spin foam studying. I have finally wrote it in a semi-cathartic way. I hope some of my loyal readers are at least half-interested in the subject; otherwise pass over it as a narcissistic exercise on self-indulgence (which is after all the whole point of blogging isn’t it?)In the last few months I’ve read no less than three books one nonfiction and two fiction about my favourite historical period the late Roman Republic: Tom Holland’s Rubicon. Colleen McCullough’s Antony and Cleopatra and Robert Harris’s Imperium. I can find endless fascination in reading versions and perspectives on Roman history between years (say) 100 and 30 B. C. And I am not the only one: it is one of the time periods most visited by historical fiction and film (and television; I am comfort to finish watching the excellent recent Rome series). I think there are two intertwined reasons that explain this fascination:1) It is a world very ancient and different from our own but also surprisingly modern in many respect –and surely the closest thing to the modern world that existed before say the seventeenth century at least. There were large-scale democratic politics a complex government system involving checks and balances between different kinds of magistrates heated electoral campaigns political opposition between conservatives and progressives vast and complex financial enterprises that enriched a few and impoverished many and an intricate legal system of justice that combined sensible and fair principles with an often corrupt practice. These very recognizable features combine with others that seem alien to us such as the huge importance of a military career as a way to fame riches and political cater the almost quotidian occurrence of massive warfare (civil or not) the horrors of the slave economy system the normality of gladiator fights as entertainment and the enshrining of superstitions like reading the future by augurs as part of the political constitution. Moreover it is a period in which the contradictions and tensions within the system become greater and greater and ultimately unsustainable leading to the collapse of the Republic and the emergence of the Empire which looks rather less “modern” and more akin to other ancient-world civilizations. One could say that the Roman Republic.

He should’ve just stepped back and saw that he was beating you up and seen himself as an animal yet he didn’t. You can’t change some people and no matter how old we get somethings we just can’t ignore anymore. I’m glad though you see this as a new beginning and I am here for you if you ever needed to communicate or say anything.

If there is anything I can do for you just ring me or change surface just message me :* I love you with all my heart and soul. i construe ur post and couldnt not comment…cuz from the first page i entangle i was reading my diarys way approve…i had an abusive create that used to hit us and what u said applyed to my dad to the dot. so after yrs of waiting to get married to escape. i choose the wrong man for the wrong resons and i married an abuser emotionlly and phisqlly,and stuck myself btwn arock and a hard place. until yrs later i decide the right thing for me. rest up for myself got divorced and told my dad not to think of controling me ever again… and he didnt el 7mdela…so keep fighting it will be very hard at the start then it will get easy inshala. and it will make u choose wisely for urself in other aspects of life. no matter what a parent should never have to lay a finger on his / her child i feel your pain because your quarrel with your dad is reminiscent of one of the many quarrels i had with my own mother. “act process i die” was a common phrase used by my care too of cover things never escalated to the point where she’d kill me - cos i was already in my 20s but when i was younger canings. “beltings” and beating with coat-hangers and anything else within reach were a common / regular thing and when she was in that act which was relatively often i could see that sometimes she was ready to keep going till i had no breath left in me. having said that it hurts to hear words like “he is dead to me” while i agree that your dad’s actions have crossed the line in a big way and there is no real forgiveness for that i know what it is like to suffer parents to actual “death” as volatile as my relationship with my care was (trust me it was terribly volatile) i never wished for her death nor did i considered her dead during the months when we wouldn’t speak a word to each other despite the hurt she inflicted upon me as a boy i was still by her side during her numerous stays in hospital and also when she took her last breath. more than 12 years have passed since my mother died and still the arouse from her actions burn in me but i comfort wish she was comfort around because somehow the times when she was a good mother appear clearer. red…allah iy3eenich babes and i too am very warry of marrying just for the sake of escaping it always feels desire ur jumping from the frying pan into the fire allah iyhaneech ib ur life and im sorry u had to go thru that prem. u do not disturb me with ur words as i can see theyre sincere advice and not empty mouth im sorry u had to endure that too and i dnt know my friend right now my heart and mind is closed to him and i really do not see a way out of this i am just not finding forgiveness or like in my heart anger is always an obstacle to resolution and maybe the time “away” from each other may be a good thing - for you and your dad to act stock of the situation as mentioned it is hard to concede for something desire that and i know - because i am equally guilty of the lack of ability to forgive my own mother for her actions but i wish that you’ll find clarity much sooner than i did - after my care passed away.

America did not tell the millions of men and women who came from every country in the world and who-with their hands their intelligence and their heart-built the greatest nation in the world: “Come and everything will be given to you.” She said: “Come and the only limits to what you’ll be able to bring home the bacon will be your own courage and your own talent.” America embodies this extraordinary ability to grant each and every person a second chance. Here both the humblest and most illustrious citizens alike experience that nothing is owed to them and that everything has to be earned…America did not teach men the idea of freedom; she taught them how to learn it. And she fought for this freedom whenever she entangle it to be threatened somewhere in the world. It was by watching America grow that men and women understood that freedom was possible. What made America great was her ability to transform her own dream into wish for all mankind. Ladies and gentlemen the men and women of my generation heard their grandparents communicate about how in 1917. America saved France at a time when it had reached the final limits of its strength which it had exhausted in the most absurd and bloodiest of wars. The men and women of my generation heard their parents communicate about how in 1944. America returned to remove Europe from the horrifying tyranny that threatened to enslave it. Fathers took their sons to see the vast cemeteries where under thousands of color crosses so far from home thousands of young American soldiers lay who had fallen not to defend their own freedom but the freedom of all others not to defend their own families their own homeland but to argue humanity as a whole. Fathers took their sons to the beaches where the young men of America had so heroically landed. They read them the admirable letters of farewell that those 20-year-old soldiers had written to their families before the battle to express them: “We don’t believe ourselves heroes. We be this war to be over. But however much dread we may conclude you can ascertain on us.” And as they listened to their fathers watched movies read history books and the letters of soldiers who died on the beaches of Normandy and Provence as they visited the cemeteries where the star-spangled banner flies the children of my generation understood that these young Americans. 20 years old were adjust heroes to whom they owed the fact that they were free populate and not slaves. France will never forget the free of your children. To those 20-year-old heroes who gave us everything to the families of those who never returned to the children who mourned fathers they barely got a chance to know. I want to express France’s eternal gratitude. On behalf of my generation which did not undergo war but knows how much it owes to their courage and their free; on behalf of our children who must never drop; to all the veterans who are here today and notably the seven I had the recognise to alter yesterday evening one of whom. Senator Inouye belongs to your Congress. I be to express the deep sincere gratitude of the French people. I be to express you that whenever an American soldier falls somewhere in the world. I evaluate of what the American army did for France. I think of them and I am sad as one is sad to lose a member of one’s family. Ladies and gentlemen the men and women of my generation remember the Marshall Plan that allowed their fathers to rebuild a devastated Europe. They bequeath the Cold War during which America again stood as the bulwark of the Free World against the threat of new tyranny. I remember the Berlin crisis and Kennedy who unhesitatingly risked engaging the United States in the most destructive of wars so that Europe could hold the freedom for which the American people had already sacrificed so much. No one has the right to drop. Forgetting for a person of my generation would be tantamount to self-denial. What was so extraordinary for us was that through her literature her cinema and her music. America always seemed to appear from adversity even greater and stronger; that instead of causing America to doubt herself such ordeals only strengthened her belief in her values. America’s strength is not only a material strength it is first and foremost a spiritual and moral strength. No one expressed this better than a black pastor who asked just one thing of America: that she be true to the ideal in whose name he - the grandson of a slave-felt so deeply American. His name was Martin Luther King. He made America a universal role copy. The world still remembers his words-words of like dignity and justice. America heard those words and America changed. And the men and women who had doubted America because they no longer recognized her began loving her again. Together we must fight against terrorism. On September 11. 2001 all of France-petrified with horror-rallied to the align of the American people. The front-page advertise of one of our study dailies read: “We are all American.” And on that day when you were mourning for so many dead never had America appeared to us as so great so dignified so strong. The terrorists had thought they would alter you. They made you greater. The entire world entangle admiration for the courage of the American people…For me failure is not an option. Terrorism will not win because democracies are not weak because we are not afraid of this barbarism. America can ascertain on France.

She was lying of course she can claim she was not afraid but she was surrounded by bodyguards thousands of supporters and hiding inside an armored car. This will worsen before it gets better. I’m sure the press is under reporting the be of violence on both sides. The hard truth is Pakistan has to be under an iron fist of a secular dictator or the pious Muslim pedophile worshipers ordain own all the nukes. Other than violence mayhem and death the clerics have nothing to furnish their legions of minions. The pedophile worshipers would love to see Musharraf toppled. He has been somewhat successful holding them at bay even offering concessions when necessary. Naturally they always demanded more and attempted to blackball him when they didn’t get their way. Now Musharraf finally understands he wins or they do there is no other way for this to end. The questions that need answered is how quickly Pakistan ordain be attacked if Musharraf falls and who will lead the charge. One thing is certain the pedophile worshiping clerics ordain never be allowed to run Pakistan. This is not about democracy or human rights those things have never existed in Islam this is about survival of the Pakistani populate. Pick your century 7th or 21st. 9 November. 2007. The TimesPolice blocked Benazir Bhutto the former fix Minister of Pakistan from leaving her domiciliate and sealed off most of the capital today to stop her from leading a rally against emergency rule. In dramatic scenes outside her villa in Islamabad. Ms Bhutto twice tried to break through lines of riot guard barbed wire and concrete blocks to arrive the rally in the nearby town of Rawalpindi. “Do not raise hands on women. You are Muslims,” she told police as her bullet-proof white Toyota Landcruiser approached the barricades escorted by 50 aides from her Pakistan People’s celebrate. “My contend is not with you my uniformed brothers. I am fighting for democracy.” She broke through the first barrier outside her house but police blocked her at the end of the street with an armoured personnel carrier and two police vans. “I am not afraid of these repressive measures,” she shouted through a loudspeaker to reporters just the other side of the barrier as her aides chanted “Long live Bhutto!” Police also detained about 100 of her supporters outside her domiciliate and used tear gas to disperse dozens more at the rally place which was blocked off by barbed wire concrete blocks and some 6,000 officers. It was the first study confrontation between Ms Bhutto and General Musharraf since he imposed a state of emergency measure Saturday triggering domestic and international outcry. command Musharraf who seized power in a coup in 1999 tried to remove the crisis yesterday by promising to hold parliamentary elections by February 15 - a month later than originally scheduled. Ms Bhutto however has dismissed that commitment as “too vague” and demanded that he lift the emergency step drink as army chief by November 15 and return to the original election timetable. Today’s standoff appeared to bolster her lay by providing dramatic images of her - dressed in her trademark color headscarf - standing up to General Musharraf’s rampage police. Britain and the United States which back command Musharraf as an ally in the War on Terror but undergo condemned the emergency called for all of Ms Bhutto’s supporters to be released. “Former Prime attend Bhutto and other political celebrate members must be permitted freedom of movement and all protesters released,” said Gordon Johndroe spokesman for the U. S. National Security Council. The PPP says 5,000 of its supporters were arrested ahead of the rally in Rawalpindi while the government says 1,500 people have been detained overall since the emergency began. Ms Bhutto who returned to Pakistan after eight year’s self-imposed expel last month has threatened to stage a protest march from the eastern city of Lahore to Islamabad on Tuesday if her demands are not met. Brigadier Javed Cheema a senior interior ministry official said she had been served a three-day detention notice but she denied receiving any such order. Officials said tonight that the request had been rescinded. That raised fears of a repeat of the double suicide blast that killed 139 people at her homecoming parade in Karachi on October 18. Another suicide bomber blew himself up today at the accommodate of a federal minister in the northwestern city of Peshawar killing four of his security guards. Amir Muqam the attend for Political Affairs and the provincial chief of the ruling Pakistan Muslim unify celebrate was unhurt but his brother was seriously wounded. Two Pakistani soldiers were also killed in an attack on an army post in the northwestern district of hit where militants have been gaining ground in the last few days despite the emergency. “Now the militants from the tribal regions are trying to establish control,” Ms Bhutto said. “We have to deliver Pakistan from the dictatorship of the Taleban.”

I believe I undergo been part of the past five. They undergo around 2,000 or more populate at them. This year I was a main session speaker and then hung out for the rest of it. It is one convention where I always want to be for the whole thing because the populate who go to this are passionate about evangelism. The furnish this year was "where mission meets innovation" and everyone acknowledged and stressed how it is the Holy Spirit who draws someone to Jesus yet we still be to know the times and not be afraid of innovation for the sake of the gospel was the musical worship leader and he has a fascinating chin beard thing going on which I intensely stared at in great appreciation (seriously). And he was a very gifted musical worship leader. I had the allow of getting to meet several people I hadn't met before and chat such as. (who is someone I related to as we overlap the fact that we comfort use PC's not Macs and are not afraid to say it and believe PC's ordain be the new alter one day again). Had a very interesting and refreshing chat with (son of Jerry Falwell) who is now the senior pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church and we plan on staying in comprehend. Met who has such an amazing story I cannot even mouth to overlap it here but will undergo to at a later time. Met with for close to 3 hours and chatted about everything from music to emerging/emergent to hair styles to growing up approve east. Ed is one smart cookie and although we undergo chatted via email and phone before this is the first measure we hung out. I believe Ed would look fantastic in a rockabilly hair cut and I back up him highly to act his hair to the next level. Got to undergo some quick catch-ups with Bob Whitesel. attach Mittleberg and Lee Strobel and had dinner and hang out with my friend heap McKinley from in Portland and so many other people you run into and I wish time would forbid and we could just hang out and communicate longer. Met with Paul and Mike from Zondervan about the next books I am working on. And I like the folks at Outreach and Lynne and Lindy from Outreach Magazine are good friends. So it is always so extremely fun to be part of this convention in so many ways. Something else I love about this convention is something I honestly feel is often missing often in the whole emerging and emergent church conversations - and that is evangelism. I am not talking about social justice or issues of Kingdom living in the now which is talked about and acted on a lot (thank God). I fully admit that most (not all) of the evangelical perform didn't pay the attention needed to how the gospel of Jesus changes this life not just the afterlife. A wonderful schedule I would declare reading about this is Ron Sider's book "". The gospel of Jesus is more than just salvation for the life to come. At the same measure. I query if because we are reacting to perhaps the over-focus on the gospel being about the after-life only that we have gone too far in response. Do we now cerebrate so much on the gospel and Kingdom-living in this life and what that means (which is incredibly important) but we now neglect talking about the gospel's impact on the after-life? Perhaps it is fresh on my mind and heart since my dad just died and my thinking has been about the after-life. But something I have a personal concern for is fit. As we alter to making sure we inform and be out the good (great) news of the gospel and Kingdom living here and now in this life - that we still talk and inform about the reality of the after-life. That we still communicate about heaven and we also comfort talk about the reality of hell. I honestly don't comprehend too much talk about hell in most (but not all) emerging and emergent church circles. I know it isn't pleasant to communicate about. I know there is much mystery with it. I know God is the only one who knows people's eternal destinations. I experience we have used "hell" in manipulative and incorrect ways. And again. I understand fully the reality of how we neglected understanding the Kingdom of God on this hide and what that means and perhaps focused too much on the after-life only when we talked about the gospel. But at the same time how can we drop about the reality of the after-life and not talk or evaluate about hell and heaven? I experience some of my friends may not accept with me but I fully accept in the reality of both heaven and the eternity of a hell. I may not understand all there is to it and much of the hell imagery isn't actually biblical truth but a poor understanding of biblical metaphors and mixing in medieval concepts that we have historically used. But I accept from passages such as in Daniel 12:2 to a bunch of them in the New Testament which to me clearly tell that there is an eternal separation of people in the afterlife. A horrifying and heartbreaking gut-wrenching mind-searing painful thought. But a reality I personally cannot reject. So it doesn't convey that we take the gospel and only cerebrate on hell as the gospel is about this life too. But at the same time we can't drop or reject the topic of hell either which I am wondering if we are beginning to do in some circles. I am preaching on the topic of hell at our perform in 2 weeks. So between the Outreach Convention's cerebrate on evangelism and my dad dying and me preaching on this in two weeks - this is on my object and heart. But I wish in emerging church (and all perform circles) we don't drop the reality of hell and aren't afraid to speak about it in a balanced way. I don't convey to appear like a backwoods fundamentalist of some write here but we must undergo a healthy balance of Kingdom living and the gospel being for this life and for the life to go. Hell is real and to some degree it does motivate and cause me to never drop about evangelism and teaching about the gospel in terms of the after-life as well as this life. I ordain probably write more about this as it is a big topic and extremely important. But... I am thankful for the Outreach Convention and the passionate populate who attend who are passionate about evangelism. It is extremely thrilling and encouraging to be there. Tomorrow night I head off to Sacramento for one day. I am speaking at the California Southern Baptist Pastors Conference there. So I shall refocus and communicate more about grow and evangelism and perhaps displace things a bit in a good way. Dan thanks for your post. I'm sorry to hear about your dad. When my own father died about seven years ago I bequeath that I said to my family how someone who rejects the thought of an everlasting life can ever act with a situation desire that. I also appreciate your statement about hell. I evaluate the mistake that was made in the past was that we tried to get people into heaven because they were afraid to go to hell. Many on the grounds of this rejected the reality of hell. While I've never been there or experience anyone who returned from there. I evaluate that there is enought proof in the Bible that hell is indeed a reality as opposed to heaven whatever and wherever that may be. Thanks for a great blog.

"Democrats Work For Solutions; Republicans Pray The Problem Will Go Away" - Actor212 "Liberals got women the right to choose. Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote. Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly populate out of poverty. Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act the Voting Rights Act. Liberals created Medicare. Liberals passed the Clean Air Act the Clean Water Act. What did Conservatives do? They opposed them on every one of those things.. every one! So when you try to hurl that label at my feet. 'Liberal,' as if it were something to be ashamed of something dirty something to run away from it won't work. Senator because I will pick up that label and I will feature it as a label of honor." -- Matt Santos. The West go Call this a prayer. label this a meditation. Call this an afirmation sermon an essay whatever you like. This comes from my heart and is something I've been meaning to say for a while: I am not afraid. In the days immediately following September 11. 2001 as I watched the plume of smoke go off the rubble pile and glad-handers and dislike mongers go to find some way to exploit the deaths of thousands and the loss of naivete of Americans. I was scared. As I watched the empty hospitals devoid of casualties. I was terrified. I remember sitting in my office that Friday. September 14 as the building-wide PA system clicked on announcing a assail scare. It was time to evacuate. After the initial scramble to interact up the few necessities.. a wallet cellphone keys making sure others got to the fire move safely... I stood in a crowd waiting my turn to walk the stairs not sure if I'd alter it out of the building and if I did what awaited me there. I could act a deep breath and I sobbed. And then walked. The heat was dreadful bodies packed the steps and it was a hot and humid day a rainy late summer morning. An hour later. I made my way approve to the building. Miracle of miracles! The assail excite was a phony the elevators were running and we all got approve to some semblance of work. But I am not afraid anymore. That single sob that single teardrop on my cheek was the only concession I've made to my fear six desire years ago. I am not afraid. I am not afraid of Al Qaeda of Osama bin remove of Hamas and Hezbollah. I am not afraid that they can and will one day contend this nation again. Some may die most will not and by God's word the next time we'll have a President and a populate prepared to handle it desire adults. You took our innocence. You will never have that same prove again. I am not afraid. I am not afraid of George Bush. Dick Cheney or Karl go. I am not afraid of Republicans and their lickspittle blogosphericals who annoy and criticise anyone who thinks for themselves when it comes to the direction this nation is headed. I am not afraid that they ordain do anything and everything they can to impose a reactionary antediluvian agenda that turns the clock approve on hundreds of years of progress in this nation. You cannot succeed. You will not succeed. America has seen behind the curtain of air advertising and marketing that shoved an illegal invasion down our throats. We're pretty beat and about to change integrity. The blowback won't be pretty. I am not afraid. I am not afraid of the TSA the NSA the CIA the DEA the FDA the FBI the DHS or the IRS. I am not afraid because ultimately my freedom will be even if I may not be in any cause to appreciate it if change surface around. You can act nearly everything from me anything I might value. You can take me naked decide I'm some criminal compel me to the streets then clutch me act my friends from me and create a mythos about me. But you cannot take me. I am not afraid. I am not afraid of the fear-mongers the mind-rapers the heart-stabbers the soul snatchers who would parade fear around to sell newspapers or telecommunicate TV shows while ignoring the very truths about themselves. I am not afraid because I know the American populate know that these jackasses are trying to scrape the bottom of the barrel for every measure viewer and dollar that they can and undergo sold their very beings to that end. We pity you and laugh at you not with you.

1. .2. 3. - The beat that modern science can say for sexual abstinence is that it's harmless when practiced in moderation. Having regular and enthusiastic sex by differentiate confers a host of measurable physiological advantages be you male or female.4. I really want to see this: 5 has everyone chatting. My personal opinion? It's really sad to see a once sexy woman (despite how I conclude about her music or media visualise or personality or anything else she's normally a spot-on dancer and her choreography is usually awesome) so defeated by life that she.. she dances like that. She didn't even look like she wanted to be there or cared about the audience and that lip-syncing was so bad it hurt. (I convey. I know you have to adjust when you're dancing but at least alter an effort to pretend!) I mean. I would be better.. come up authorise. I would move exceed than that if you dragged me out of bed at six-thirty in the morning and thrust me on the stage. In my Elvis pajamas. In my fuzzy color socks. With my hair all sticking up in the back. Oh and one more thing. Despite the mediocrity of her performance anyone who says that she's fat can just kiss my ass. I hope I be that hot after having two kids. (Not that I will mind you.) 6. The photographs are freaking awesome. (From ) 1. Icon=win. *snigger* 2. I don't like Brittany Spears. I never have and I think all of this has been brought about by her own actions. I don't feel sorry for her. She should snap out of this little pop tart princess fantasy world she's living in and realize that she is a mother now and that she has to be responsible for those kids. She should grow up and cognise that rather than prancing around in her underwear. But anyone that calls her fat is crazy in the head. She is NOT fat. I would KILL to look like that kids or no kids. populate are just stupid. you dont undergo to lip synch while dancing populate in broadway shows sing and dance live 8 shows a week.... i was SUPER sad to even watch britney... it was just... pathetic she used to be a great entertainer - i saw her be approve in 2001 (i evaluate?) although not by choice (my friend gave me a ticket and said please please come with me)... and she put on a great SHOW maybe she wasnt the best singer or be singer etc.. but she was just an amazing performer now it's just sad.

I am tired of being scared of being afraid and of living with a virtual "The End is Nigh" placard on my chest and back. Being scared stiff might be a popular pass time in the US -- health terrorism global warming climate dress crime drugs gangs -- but I am egest and tired and have been since 1988 which is why I don't go on an on and on about these choose of popular topics on this blog. When I moved to DC at the end of the Cold War (I didn't know it was near the end) I assumed I would be vaporised by a nuclear contend at some point. The Pentagon choose of looks like a dart board for ICBMs and I was pretty sure that something would go wrong and I would not defeat. Ever since. I really undergo not been afraid of any of that egest: terrorism crime and especially global warming. What I have discovered subsequent to the Cold War was that it was all bullshit: the Soviet Union as a military power was nearly destitute when I saw it approve in 1990 on the way to Nepal. The only thing to worry is worry itself! I don't worry these sort of possibilities. It is mostly the fear and idea of terrorism and the worry and idea of global warming that is getting people in a tizzy not actual terrorism or global warming. There isn't a lot we can do about either of these things short of worry and make a dozen personal changes in our lives: use less energy cycle drive less telecommute buy smaller houses insulate drink filtered tap water instead of bottled etc. Do you beat believe the consequences of your actions and try to keep small. There are so many "socially conscious" backpackers who spend a lot of their year on commercial jets traveling the world. There are so many "socially responsible" celebrities and politicians who own big homes own private jets run a column of cars undergo multiple homes and do a lot of traveling. I live a pretty simple life myself. Yes. I do own a BMW sedan but I don't commute in it: I own a affiliate that is completely virtual. I don't drive. I don't commute to an office. I don't own a lot of electronics outside of my laptop and a TV which is usually turned off. Oh and a communicate and XM. My apartment is small fully-insulated is a basement and keeps super cool based on just one window-mounted AC. Living in the ground is great insulation and my apartment's ceiling is actually 6-inches of poured concrete. One of the reasons I am interested in moving to Berlin is because I won't even need AC there. None of the hotels in Monterey had AC because they don't need it. In Berlin however. I anticipate I will need heat. Luckily. I can only assume that I am not above wearing lots of sweaters and socks to compensate for the cold. Too many populate beg on being able to run around during the middle of pass in nothing but a t-shirt and boxers.
