Snitching

In a society that thrives on images and adapts to lifestyles that aren’t necessarily belonging to everyone, the term snitching seems to saturate the topic of conversation. Taking a factual approach we find that snitching is to become an informant or revealing confidential information. Now no one can stand a rat or an untrustworthy comrade. Betrayal is a hard act to forgive and accept. There is no room for snitching or squealing. Or is it? As I’ve lived on this earth and walked the turf of many neighborhoods, every place has their own code of doing things. But across the board snitching is not allowed! To snitch or not to snitch. That really is the question! I’ve experienced and witnessed the misuse and manipulation of the law and grew a bitter feeling for a lot of the judicial system. I feel it’s better to resolve matters without the law due to this. They are human also! But as I grow wiser I place things in perspective. Due to not snitching: a father sits incarcerated not being able to raise his children, while his comrades are supposedly taking care of them. Due to not snitching the dope boys and out of control “children” run and ruin the neighborhood; with elders and kids afraid to go outside. Due to not snitching a girl grows up into a battered, abused, and sexually violated woman. Now I could respect this code of not snitching if morals were in order. If a person is flat out wrong or guilty, that sucker should own up to his “mess-ups”. What’s weird today though is everyday people seem to hold allegiance to those out doing wrong. And these everyday people are not affiliated with it or benefiting from it at all. Okay maybe they get to lie under the bed in fear of their life being taken but let’s not boast. I can even understand someone not snitching due to fright. They have to live there. But when the tables are turned and it is your house that has been burglarized or your child that has been murdered; what do people ask for on the evening news? In a pitiful voice, “Please turn yourself in” or “If anyone knows anything please call this number”. Well it is only what we are allowing!

POINT BLANK:

A lot of kids are compromised into bad situations and positions because they have no outlet and feel if they did tell they would be considered a snitch. They succumb to a messed up situation with someone they had no affiliation with. But what if he/she looks up to someone that promotes such a hush lifestyle. Hmmmm!

pregnancy remedy

We accept all been there – well let me adapt that – some of us accept been there. Some women are advantageous abundant to captain through abundance aglow and beaming after so abundant as pregnancy remedy an agitated stomach. And some will ache a little bit of abhorrence now and again and anticipate that they accept morning sickness. But – for Cure For Infertility the blow Cure For Infertility of us the aboriginal few months of abundance are hardly the adventure we Cure For Infertility were expecting

So to end our suffering we alpha allurement for advice. We alpha analytic for morning affection cures that can advice to affluence our bodies. But there absolutely isn’t a accomplished lot out there for women who are adversity from the added austere cases of morning sickness and this can be a affair for both the woman and the baby.

You charge to be able to eat and attend the babyish during those aboriginal months of development. And you charge to be accepting abundant rest. If you are sick again you are aloof Pregnancy Remedy not demography the Pregnancy Remedy affliction of yourself that you should be.

And for abounding reasons you don’t appetite to accept to resort to demography any medications to affluence the affection Pregnancy Cures either. One affair that formed for me and assurance me – I approved aggregate – was a address alleged Emotional Freedom Address EFT .

I can’t absolutely accord annihilation Pregnancy Cures away as the adviser I followed is still actuality awash and it wouldn’t be fair for me to accord out the secrets – but essentially if Pregnancy Remedy you accept never heard of EFT it is application the ability of your apperception and assertive activate spots to affluence your abhorrence and ache – and as abundant as I was sceptical about it it absolutely does work.

I love the English language. I adore how flexible it is, what a staggeringly large vocabulary we have and how relatively easy it is to get right.

There are three things I detest about it though, and all of them are to do with language users rather than the tongue itself.

1. They’re, there and their. It isn’t hard – honestly it’s not. They’re refers to an abbreviation of they are, denoted by the apostrophe. There refers to a place, best remembered by noting the word here thinly veiled within its spelling. Their refers to people and is best recalled by the letter I – a personal pronoun – connecting the word with humans.

2. To, too and two. Again – easy.  To, is the most commonly used of the three and as such is the quickest to write. Too, meaning also or as well etc. can be remembered by its additional o - there as well as the first o. Two is the version that isn’t one of the others and naturally, refers to the number.

These are the things  you should know from when you learn to write – just because some things sounds the same when they’re pronounced, it doesn’t mean that they’re the same words. Bear and Bare sound the same, afterall, but you wouldn’t go confusing a gigantic, hairy creature with a penchant for pic-i-nic baskets with being naked, would you?

My biggest hatred of something in the English language, though,  is as follows.

3. Might of. No. Just no.

There is no excuse for writing might of instead of might have, or the more commonly used might’ve. I wish people would just look at what they’re typing into their facebook status bars and think, “Actually, in this context ‘might of’ doesn’t make any sense.” If these morons would just ask themselves, “Whose might am I referring to here? The might of what?” I would be far happier. As it is though, I feel like I’m surrounded by idiots.

Please, for the sake of thousands of years of a beautiful language, use your brain.

If not for English, then for those of us who actually care about it not being butchered by complete morons.

You’re the most beautiful Bird

You’re the nicest Song I’ve ever heard

Lying next to you makes me

Understand that there could be

A person that loves me.

When I first saw you I knew

That I’ve had you before, you’re not new.

I’ve already heard those Words

You freed me showing new Worlds.

I can’t believe that you ARE

With your Existance, Love is not far.

You always know what is Right

Your Life is Perfect and Bright.

If I need help you are there

Hold my hand in my deepest dispair.

You drive me out of the Dark

You bring me Calmness and Light.

If I am on the wrong Way

You turn me back banning me to Stay.

I don’t have to be afraid

You care for me giving aid.

When I try hiding Sadness

You are ME and cry for happiness

You know what I want to say

Before I tell you… Please stay!

I need wahat you can give me

I want you to kiss, touch and feel me.

I need the Love you give me

I want The Man that Loves me.

You’re the most beautiful Bird

You’re the nicest Song I’ve ever heard…

Being next to you makes me

Understand…

That…

There could be…

A person…

That Loves…

Me!

Life moves up and down and all around; and yet we must continue on. We must see beyond it all to see that God has His hand in it all. We may not understand but He is there guiding us and helping us. If we just choose to listen. And this may be being still, it may be reading His word, it may be in a song. He is there. So as my life twists and turns, hurts and burns, I see my Christ and He is there and it is I that pushes him away. He loves me where I am but does not want to leave me that way. He wants to heal the shattered pieces of my heart and make me as whole as He can again….

and so I begin……

Salvete  Omnes!  I’m actually alive!!!!!!!!!!!! xD home sick- but alive!!!!! So I decided I should post, Okay so most of you have probably noticed club penguins start up screen:

And for most of you when you see something like this you immediatly think: Something big involving ninjas is happening, to the ninja hideout. Well good that’s what you should think.  There is a video telling you about the game but it is  laggy on my cmptr and my cmptr isnt exactly old so cp needs to  use some lower tech stuff I think. So at the ninja hideout you need to buy a  Amulet which some of us helped gold smith and click the stone fire inscription and a huge door will appear go inside and you will find the still under construction fire Dojo!!!!!

But it loads slowly…….. … Anyways what I know about it is that  it will have four players a game  and is member only!

Life is tough. Every day some new issue is thrown our way which we inevitably have to deal with,often by ourselves. Sometimes, that “issue” is so big it knocks us off our feet, and for a few days leaves us feeling a bit like we’re holding our breath under water, struggling along with  no visible means for air.

This post is all about learning to breathe underwater, when life throws something tough our way. It;s so easy to drown, but by learning to breathe, we can get back out there after a tough time, and continue with life, realising that everything WILL be okay. You just have to keep going.

Any questions or comments welcome.

1. As I mentioned before, keep up a routine. Keep doing as much as possible what you previously did. It’ll help your mind stay rooted in something,when it’s so easy to let it float away.

2.Keep telling yourself that everything will be okay, that things will get better. Try  lying down, and doing some breathing exercises when things get a bit too much to handle. It’s okay to cry if you need to, just try and maintain some form of deep breathing pattern. Repeat over and over in your head that things will be okay, they will get better. Firmly believe in it. Do this for at least ten minnutes, get up and drink a glass of water. Then go do something fun!

3. Don’t get too caught up in the details of what’s going on. Chances are involving yourself too much will only make things worse. The Buddhists for example believe that pain and suffering can be diminished and even lost with the removal of the sense of “I.” Remember this is just one event, one issue in the whole of your life. Nothing in life is too difficult to overcome. Remember that there is at least one other person in the world feeling as bad if not worse than you, and chances are you’re not the only one to have gone through what you’re going through. You’re not the only one.

4.Suck it up. Not the greatest advice, but sometimes you feel awful and the last thing you want to do is get back out into the world, yet unfortunately it’s all you can do. It’s no good moping and feeling sorry for yourself. Suck it up, plaster on that big fake smile and get back out there. Soon enough  that fake smile will become real.

5.Surround yourself with people and noise. Don’t mope around feeling blue. This is awfully hard at first but the more you do it the easier it gets and slowly but surely your life will seem better.

incredible story that will blast preconceptions while amazing your pants off.

knowing where you are can be a very good thing…

i just came back from a long walk on this autumn day. the sun decided to come out and make us aware of its presence. while the trees showcased their variety. as i was walking in this newly fabricated neighbourhood that had interlocking streets, I realized, I was lost. I didn’t know where I was. I didn’t get that nervous, but got a bit concerned. Then I realized I wasn’t that far from home, and in the meantime I should just enjoy the journey. Once I came to that conclusion, before I knew it, I realized where I was.

But then it occurred to me, maybe knowing where I am is also a dangerous thing.

If I always know where I am, then there isn’t room to move out from where I know that I am. And this sense of knowing where you are comes with a deep soul-sense of safety and familiarity. I know the way and the way knows me. Sometimes, we think Christianity is about ‘knowing’ the way. Yet, like Tolkien once said, “Not all who wander are lost”. There is something beautiful and unsettling about mystery. But hopefully our curiosity for the unsettled part of it should invite us into a journey of the uknown. Sure, its scary when you get started, but man, all the things you will see. Mystery invites us deeper into the forests we have yet to see. Onto the mountains we have yet to climb. And into the skies we have yet to soar.

Sometimes the unknown can be things like the places we have come to fear the most. dreams we have yet to make into a reality. even our beliefs in God. or our belief in ourselves or others. we may have to let go of these things before we can move forward, this is where we move from the region of the unknown to the region of awe (C.S. Lewis) and find our bliss (Jospeh Campbell)…what is your bliss? And what will it take for you to get there??

Just to be different, I will tell you what that means at the end of this blog post. I bet you’re going to skip to it now.
So, what has been happening? Well, not much really. I got to watch The Crow again after years finally; I love that movie and find the whole thing one of those stories you just wish you could believe in. I have also seen Splinter and The Thaw so no doubt I am now paranoid about having bugs near me or getting splinters. That will last all of two more days.

Have two more movies not borrrowed from Ad to watch this weekend; Apocalypse Now and The Pianist. I a trying to get hold of The Beach but it is being a stubborn and impossible title to get hold of, though the soundtrack is now in my possession. Bloody brilliant soundtrack to it, can’t stop listening to it and I love every minute of it, even if I zone out a bit. That was a fuck of a sentence wasn’t it?

I still have Battle Royale, Dogma, Pan’s Labyrinth, Benny & Joon, Let the Right One In and a selection of movies I have actually already seen yet want to rewatch to go through, not to mention tidy my room, sort out my word count, do my critiques for an assignment and start on my presentations and essays for the end of this calendar year so I can have everything done and dusted ready for 2010 which is scarily around the corner.

What else has been the happenings lately? Well today, the 13th, is a Friday (spooky! not) and it is also TWLOHA day. As a translation that is “To Write Love On Her Arm” day. TWLOHA is an organisation that deal in supporting people with depression or those suffering from addiction, self-harm and various other issues of that ilk. I have indeed written LOVE on my arm, in felt pen too so I shall be pretty pink for hours, and I will post a picture of it.

There we go, my picture of it. And yes, it is in purples and pinks, not something I’m used to using but it means a lot to me when I see these colours that it had to be the choice. Missi wrote on my arm in biro not long afterwards with Love and Ai, which is the Japanese for Love. It’s nice to know that even when she’s not feeling well she will participate in something like this. I don’t blame her for not writing on her own arm though, it is a bastard to get off.

I have been having a few more moments of unnecessary reflection lately and I believe that may have something to do with the people around me and the changes in the weather.I am becoming annoying in tune to it and it is starting to wind me up. Thankfully I have the word count for up to the 15th sorted but I need to add more to it to get near the 50k I am aiming for. I am currently halfway there and I am not about to give up on it, I refuse to; this is the first time I have ever gotten this far and I am determined to do it. I mostly think of it in terms of “this is an assignment” and that helps to motivate me, as I know this novel is not only for fun but the one I will use for my writing the novel assignment once it is edited.

I also tend to keep skipping things lately, funny that.

Mum and Dad are currently travelling to Orlando from Jacksonville, ready for their flight home tomorrow which will land here on Sunday. It will be good to have them back in the country though I imagine Dad will have started crying as they left my sister’s, since he’s the type to do that. Hope Travis, Lilly and Michael are alright, they’re young and it must hurt a bit more for them, though I think Michael is a bit too oblivious to things right now. On other family news, my Niece, Vicky’s, little baby girl had her operation and everything seems alright. Gracie is an adorable name and we can’t wait to meet her once she’s allowed out of the hospital.

Probably won’t be for a while yet, but still, the idea is lovely.

But, yes, this has been my rant for the day. I am going to go away and attempt to nap again as I seem so tired, perhaps see about writing a bit of fanfiction. I will admit I have a gay porn scene to write that I seem to be procrastinating worse than anything else.

Oh, yes, the meaning of my title today:

“If you can read this, you have too much education.”

Dreams flash by and I see all I wish to be. I see the possibilites before me. And yet guilt overtakes me. It consumes all that I am. Confusion reigns in me. I must fight and break free to see the truth in me. What is truly right and wrong? I must fight to live the life I am truly destined to have.   I can be free. I can see. It will take time. Yet one day I will be where I am to be. Wrapped in love, wrapped in truth from God above. I will be. Dreams flash by, dreams of you  and of me…one day to be.

What bullshit that quote is. For the record, nobody believes that except Christians.

Let’s examine that quote:

The word “First” implies a beginning. Most likely the beginning of our universe. I will agree that there was a beginning to our universe, however, that doesn’t make it the beginning of EVERYTHING. There is no “first” in my view. Before our universe, there was almost certainly something else. Definitely not nothingness. Something material caused the Big Bang.

What came before the Big Bang? It’s really quite impossible to tell at this point. You see, everything exploded in a big expanding ball of heat so hot that it would turn all matter into energy. There’s no traceable evidence that you can use to formulate ideas on exactly what came before the Big Bang.

However, that doesn’t mean I believe that there was nothingness. If I’d venture a guess, it might be that another universe existed where ours is now and imploded, which caused the Big Bang. Or perhaps it was the Multiverse theory, and our universe collapsed into existence from the giant cosmos of matter-energy, and that caused the Big Bang.

Certainly, there was no beginning of matter. Matter has always existed. Matter has existed before our universe, and will exist after our universe implodes.

So, to rephrase the quote more correctly: Science has yet to determine what exactly happened, but there was probably an implosion of matter-energy from another universe that existed before us or else a bubble within the multiverse collapsed, which caused the Big Bang.

However, one group of people actually does believe the title quote: Christians. They believe that there was nothing, and then everything just existed. How crazy is that?

“First, there was nothing. Then it exploded.”

I guess you could push the quote a little further….. First, there was nothing, then some ill-tempered god waved his magic wand and poofed it all into existence.

Yesterday Nov 9 I celebrated my third “rezday” (that SL speak for birthday… kinda). Those of you here on MS who know me in SL, I thank you for your continued support of my musical career and hope you will keep on coming out to the shows. It’s you  who make them what they are.. your interaction, you willingness to bring in others among other things.

The sponsors have been generous over the years, the venue owners as well but in my heart, I know its the friends and fans who mean the most to me. So stick around.

As a side note, I’d also like to mention that I have been invited to another virtual world to begin performing. Utherverse (UV) has asked me to begin performing my live shows. I will be the first to bring live music shows into this relatively new Virtual World (VW). While other VW’s are trying to keep up with SL’s immense popularity, I feel UV has the most potential both in momentum and technology. I should probably tell you that a good part of UV is more “adult” oriented so just keep that in mind.

While the UV shows will be different than in SL, in quite a few ways, I will still be performing live, possibly via video, and my shows will still, hopefuly, be driven mostly by audience requests. If you are presently a resident of SL, even if you’re not, please go check out UV and register with your SL avatar name so I will know who you are at the shows. It would mean so much to me to have some “family” at the first UV show, set for some time in mid December. That give you plenty of time to register and get a feel for this VW and all its controls, editing features, etc.

Pioneering anything is always tricky but I have been speaking personally with UV’s VP, tech department and marketing department leaders to get this moving as smoothly as possible. UV is free to join but I would urge you to go for the paid membership. My first show in UV is planned for December 18th at 7PM PST. You will need to join to attend. Just click this link and on the top left of my profile page, “Create a Free Account”.

We will be setting up a special area for the concert, an outdoor amphitheater in Virtual Vancouver which when filled to capacity, about 200 people, will replicate itself automatically to allow another 200 and so on. In theory we can have an infinite number of replicated amphitheaters for an unlimited amount of people attending. We will be marketing to a few million registered users of UV so I imagine it will be very cool for UV residents as this will be the first of its kind. I’m very excited about the prospect of spreading out to other VW’s but again, it would mean alot to me to have some familiar faces there with me. I’m also trying to get them to design animations for the Tracerettes as we have in SL. Will keep you posted on that.

Sponsors can reach me here or via email at info@sethregan.com. There will be some banner space for sponsors on the stage and if we market this right, I’m hoping to get at least a few thousand people at the show and continue shows in UV and SL simultaneously. The sponsor banners will be placed on or around the stages for maximum exposure with clickable links that will go to a website or URL of your choice. I still need to solidify costs and placement with the VP Marketing at UV but I’m hopeful it will work out fine.

Again here’s the link to join. Thanks alot

Ciara must have liked what she heard on Fantasy Ride this year. After working with producer Christopher “Tricky” Stewart on four of her album’s 13 tracks, the singer has given Tricky and his songwriting partner The-Dream domain over the entirety of her follow-up disc. But what we heard a lot on Fantasy — and what we likely won’t be hearing much on the new album — are Ciara’s high-profile collaborations with other artists.

“At this point in my career, it’s important for my fans to get to know more about me and to really feel me,” she told MTV News on the red carpet Saturday at Justin Timberlake’s charity event. “I’ve done a lot of features over the course of my career. I’m not saying that I won’t do any, but I want really my fans to come into my world. I’ve been very blessed to work with a lot of cool people, but this time it is about knowing me more and hearing more of me.”

Of course, Fantasy featured Ludacris, Chris Brown, Young Jeezy, Missy Elliott and Timberlake. The video for “Love Sex Magic,” which featured JT, nabbed a Best Choreography nomination at this year’s Video Music Awards.

Tricky recently told Rap-Up.com the name of two records they’ve recorded — “Gifted” and “Speechless,” which actually features Ciara with The-Dream — but Ciara said those two tracks are only the beginning of the “really crazy, really fun” album they’re putting together.

“I got on Tricky because he was spilling all the beans,” she laughed. “Those two records that he named are definitely awesome records, and there are some cool ones that I’ve done lately that are just even more amazing.

“It’s kind of reminding me of how it was for me at the beginning of my career,” she explained, “which is a really good feeling.”
