Netflix What I’m Watching Netflix Queue
So many horrible things have been done in the name of religion and purity. So many devastating actions taken in the name of protecting us from the dangerous. Yet so rarely is the dangerous the target of these actions… more often it is the innocent and the dangerous are the ones taking the action.
This song just left me in tears. I’d not heard it before. I had to share it.

I don’t know that I have the words to properly express the way this resonated to me.
To say that I sat here crying while watching it, would be an understatement.
We’ve come so far, yet have so far to go.
Somewhere along the way Read more »

I don’t know how I’m supposed to face the people I work with again… Having had a 3 day total meltdown of biploar mess fueled by anxiety on so many levels I can’t even begin to explain.
From throwing up for the last 3 days, to sitting in my training group shaking like a recovering addict in withdrawals. To outright crying and not being able to move to run away or hide it. Right there in front of half my department and my supervisor…
Being asked if I needed to leave by one of our Senior Managers (who I know was just trying to help and be kind) and me having to try to explain that I just need to get it done and over with and not drag out the anxiety of it all anymore. Trying to explain WHY I’m falling apart like a house of cards in a windstorm. It’s impossible to explain to someone who has no real world point of reference with Bi-Polar disorder, and social anxiety issues, not to mention having just realized you’ve developed issues with being in large crowds.

This was a monolog from the West Wing that was delivered by Bruno (Ron Silver) to Sam Seaborn (Rob Lowe) durring the re-election campaign for Jed Bartlet (Martin Sheen).
It is very much how I feel about politics today, almost exactly.
Now who has the balls to step up and be a statesman and LEAD this country?
President Obama has had his moments, he’s had his failures. That’s true of all presidents. I still support him, but it’s not without some effort at times. I understand his intent to compromise and admire it as a statesman like quality. Though it does seem to more often end up that he just gives in and they still say no, just because it came from him… Read more »

I came across the below online today via a Facebook link.. I do believe they are on to something here. Check out the original post location here: 99% Declaration.
WHEREAS THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION PROVIDES:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
WE, THE NINETY-NINE PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in order to form a more perfect Union, by, for and of the PEOPLE, shall elect and convene a NATIONAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY beginning on July 4, 2012 in the City Of Philadelphia.

“This guy’s walking down the street when he falls in a hole. The walls are so steep he can’t get out.
“A doctor passes by and the guy shouts up, ‘Hey you. Can you help me out?’ The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole and moves on.
“Then a priest comes along and the guy shouts up, ‘Father, I’m down in this hole can you help me out?’ The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on…
“Then a friend walks by, ‘Hey, Joe, it’s me can you help me out?’ And the friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says, ‘Are you stupid? Now we’re both down here.’
The friend says, ‘Yeah, but I’ve been down here before and I know the way out.”
The above is a parable told in an episode of The West Wing (Season 2, Episode 10, “Noel”)… It was told from one friend to another friend who was in a dark place and that dark place was affecting his entire life. While I don’t think my job’s in anymore danger than usual… I can certainly relate to the dark place, and that out of control feeling.
I’m sharing it now to say thank you. Thank you, to the friends that have jumped down in this hole with me… You never cease to amaze me with your care, love, and support.
