3:36 pm	from someone elses lj, made me laugh and snort:-) "I'm a fan of the Barrel Method myself. This is where the child is put into a barrel at about age 5, and from then on is fed through the bung hole. At 18, the solemn decision is then made whether to let the child out or hammer the bung in and set it adrift in the ocean." I fully agree.....:-) (8 stabs | a true friend stabs you in the front)

12:31 am	whats your deepest fear? Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light , not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of god. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make and manifest the glory of god that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Current Mood: thoughtful (a true friend stabs you in the front)

4:34 pm	just a few links to show you all what our friends are doing in the animal "rights" groups to help out the bunnys and other "equal" animals.... http://www.directaction.info/news_june18b_05.htm http://www.directaction.info/news_aug23a_05.htm http://www.directaction.info/news_aug31_05.htm http://www.directaction.info/news_sept19b_05.htm http://www.directaction.info/news_sept19a_05.htm ...just a few choice "victorys" in the cause...... omfg. If you like breaking the law..do so..dont break some bs "ethical" reason for doing so into play...... im just waiting for the day a hells angel rally/meet gets targeted by these groups.....when butch, nails and tiny jo get paint chucked on their leathers and expensive bikes:-) oh what a day that will be....lol. makes me sick that such people excist in this world..... I know I can choose to not look at such things online or ignore situations that happen in the press or hear from friends/family about these morons...but it bothers me..alot. They are children and behave as such...and...my god... what is their problem...Its only a matter of time before one of their victems strikes back and kills them for destroying personal property and threatening them/their familys..and rightly so. Ill stop here...but....something needs to be done about these people....life is scary enough without idiots who know how to make bombs running about. regards matt ps you can ignore this post, its in my lj and is just me ranting about a wrong doing I see in the world....ignore me:-)but this problem wont go away. http://www.directaction.info/news_mar11_05.htm you all may have heard of this..but oh my god.....there are certain things you just dont do....disturbing the dead is one of them.....Im glad at least some of them(worldwide) are sent to jail for the crimes they commit. pps how about experimenting on the usless scum in this world.the rapists, the child killers/paediphiles etc......maybe abit extreme but would keep the hippys happy:-) ppps I care about animal cruelty/welfare...these groups do not. no matter what bullshit they say. This is why it bothers me so. (a true friend stabs you in the front)

7:26 pm	the music or the misery? "What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to music?" (8 stabs | a true friend stabs you in the front)
