I sit here staring at this blank box and wish I had the talent and power with words that so many I know here in Xanga land have. Not a jealous kind of want, more like the, I am so full of ideas and passions why can’t I express them, kind of want. I should have paid more attention in school, to late now. LOL Actually I think it’s more of an innate talent that some have and some don’t and thankfully I have found some who come across clean, clear, and while not always brief almost always interesting in one way or another.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have also found, here in this box, people from literally around the world who feel, think, and live just like I do. If the computer is responsible for making the world a smaller community, it is also responsible for opening up this community we call Earth. The exchange of personal information and experiences going on in Xanga and places like xanga should make it impossible for us to go to war, we might be killing our friends, or friends of friends. Isn’t everyone on this planet a friend of someone? It makes me sad to think that my friends in other nations look at the U.S. as warmongering. I learned living overseas that Americans are arrogant, and that the ordinary citizens of other countries really don’t think about us on a daily basis. They are busy living their own lives. But when we, as a nation allow our leaders to move ahead with something that the majority of the people don’t agree with, then yes, we receive the attention of the world. Why this surprises some is beyond me. We are becoming the “bully on the block” and have been going down this path for a long time.
I know this could be written clearer, more concise, and definetly with better grammar and punctuation(my weakest subject) but if you feel as I do, visit the link. (thanks morgane)
Write or call your congressman today. If you put it off, here is what will happen.
Your sons and daughters,
your husbands and wives,
your fathers and mothers,
and your friends, will give their lives to fulfill a political agenda for George Bush.

There’s a song by John Farnham… You’re the Voice… and there are lyrics in there which sum this up for me:
We’re all someone’s daughter ~ we’re all someone’s son
How long can we look at each other down the barrel of a gun?
Should be the world anthem, don’t you think?
Be good, wouldn’t it? That or Give Peace a Chance!
You can and do express yourself very well. When you rant you let your ‘innate talent’ show through and you are easy to read and identify with. When you write with more a consciousness of being read, its, if you like, a voice that needs a leeetle more work on.
i.e. stop trying so hard, you write well!

yeah… me too
I thinkl you write very clearly don’t worry just say what you wish I enjoyed reading down your blogs after seeing your name as a visitor to me. Cheers Portia
Morgane always manages to find the right words….
That song was our theme song at our High School dinner at the end of my Year 12. It brings back so many memories….and as Morgane pointed out there are some great lyrics in it.
And you write just fine!
Sorry you didn’t have good memories. Mine were only about it being an anticlimax I guess. I got raped a while later. I might blog about it some time.
