I've felt sick, sicker than usual, the last few days. I think I have the flu... but I must confess that I secretly hope for Anthrax.

(The scariest movie ever, in my opinion?)

Without a doubt...

p.s. - as for why...

I'm already paranoid enough! EEK!!!!


(Invasion Of The Body Snatchers ('78) comes in a VERY close second though... and wins, hands down, for most traumatizing movie for me. (for me, scary = plays on current fears. traumatizing = CREATES them!))

Signs

September 10th, 2 large crows perched in a tree near me and began cawing in unison. Generally, crows don't do this. Crows communicate in a call and answer type way. They don't start screaming together. I've always been given signs by birds, crows especially. When they did what they did on the 10th, I had no clue as to what they were attempting to tell me (as usual), and I was way too tired from my trip home from Atlanta to give it a lot of thought.

September 11th, before I heard anything about the WTC or Pentagon, a sparrow perched on the yard gate a few feet from me and just sat there. The sparrow looked either ill or old... and didn't fly away, as sparrows will do, when I noticed it. I did the usual, tried to figure out what it was trying to tell me. After I (mentally) said, "Death?", it flew away.

When I'm on the right track in life, the birds will leave me a feather. I did receive a feather on the 10th. So, I knew that was where I should be... I thought that all was well... then, I suppose that's just a matter of perspective.

Well, I suppose that I know now what those birds were telling me. It's odd how signs are often only apparent afterwards.


Last night (this morning) around 4AM, I went out for a smoke. As usual (especially now, when the sky in my area has been full of military planes), I looked up at the sky. The moon was out, and it was amazingly clear. Then, I saw a shooting star.

I haven't seen a shooting star since 1988, when I was in Kentucky, where it's clear enough to see them quite often. So, immediately I thought, "What does this mean?"

I'm wondering if it's something good, or something bad... or if it's anything more than just coincidence that I was up at 4AM, looking in the right direction, and happened to see it.

I guess I'll find out.

(Does the world need saving?)

The world's biggest problem is human overpopulation... and there are only two answers to that problem...

I don't think that we'll be colonizing Mars anytime soon.


The world is being saved as we speak.

(Mystic's) faith.

I feel like I could write SO much... but I'm sure that most of it wouldn't come out how I meant it... my head has been more muddy than usual lately. :(

I'm glad that you wrote what you did, Mystic. The more I find out about you, the more fascinated I am.

I'm not a "religious" person. I don't go to church. I don't follow a set religion. "Neo-Pagan" is as close as I can get to a label. There are aspects of many religions in my own personal belief system.

I do recognize that religion is a very wonderful thing for some people though. I've known many who have gotten through life a lot easier because of the church they attend, the religion they practice, or the rituals they perform.

I see it like this...

If a person is a good person, I really don't care what they believe in or which church they attend, if any. Nothing works for everyone.. so each person has to find what works for them individually.

If your LDS beliefs have helped to make you who you are, then I'm glad that the church was there for you. I think you're one of the most wonderful and admirable people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting... so, a big thank you goes out to those Mormons, from me, for being there for you when you needed them... and a big thank you goes out to you, from me, for staying true to yourself. That you did so, makes me happy.

Just my personal opinion, but a good thing to keep in mind is that the church is there when you need it. You can always go... even if it's only once in a while. Go when you need to, or go when you have the extra energy to share... but don't feel obligated to go. Forcing yourself to do something and going through the motions does no good for anyone, when it comes to matters of the spirit. Besides, from what I hear, Jesus was a pretty understanding guy, so I don't think that he'll hold it against you. ;)

-77 Satans

ok, so... how many more people have to be blown up before we actually do something about it?


I know, lets send the country that's protecting them some more food. Yeah, that makes fucking sense. Can't even manage to give our own Seniors, Disabled, and Poor decent financial and medical assistance, but we can send it over there.

Ain't it funny how the country managed to find BILLIONS of dollars for the people affected by the WTC? Those poor working class people... I'm sure none of them had insurance. Oh dear... maybe they'll have to go on welfare...

oh, wait, right, that's just for people who don't WANT to work... right... I forgot

God forbid a stock broker's wife has to struggle... just like most of the fucking people in this country

Yeah, but Brad Pitt will save the day!!!!

Wonder where the fuck Brad Pitt is when some little kid is shot in the projects because his single mom has to go to her job at McDonald's in order to feed him, his 3 siblings, 4 cousins and grandmother and couldn't stay home to educate him or protect him.

...but we're a COMPASSIONATE people!!!

Fucking right... when it hits big business in the wallet, all of a sudden we can...


...find BILLIONS of dollars for AFGHANISTAN...

...the average Senior Citizen still lives in a one room, roach infested, apartment with little food because all their money goes to medications...

...and the average criminal gets a free college education...

The rich get richer, the poor get poorer.... and those without cash for gas masks and their own means of transportation can just go to hell.


I AM NOT very happy with my country today.

FUCKING DO SOMETHING!!!!
