| So boys and girls, todays lesson is on life. Life screws us, dooms us from the very begginning to two certain, and certainly unpleasant curses. One, we will all die. But after a life full of the second one, perhaps that is why the first is in place. The second is that we will all fail and we will all make mistakes. This is, unfortunately for all of us who believe ourselves unavoidable and the downfall of man kind. Ironically, none of us can avoid it. Take for existance a relationship of any kind...One mistake can ruin a lifetime of friendship...or an early love...b/c even though everyone knows that people will make mistakes...and that they themselves make mistakes...there is an unwillingness in this world to look past the mistake and find the intention. Take for instance the wmd's and President Bush's actions. We are all far too hasty to say that he made the mistake. And that its his fault all these American Soldiers are dead. Yet what would have happened if Bush hadnt acted? It is a proven FACT that Iraq had the military capability to produce these weapons, and they no longer do. How can we condemn his actions without first placing ourselves in his shoes? How can we condemn his actions with out condemning the actions of the soldiers? It was a risk he took, and though paid for in American blood, an inexcusable price, think of much American blood was saved through his actions. This is an instance of a huge mistake. But what about at a lower level? Let us consider the High School relationship.
One misplaced hug...one misplaced high five, or shoulder squeeze is enough to condemn a relationship from ever being more than "just friends". That phrase alone is mistake enough to prove my point. Anyone who has had to go through the falling out phase of just friends knows of what im speaking about. For those of us fortunate enough to have not made the same mistake as some of the rest of us the phrase just friends is the written equivalent of a slow and painful, tortuous and treacherous death of medieval proportions with full use of all of the tower of Londons worst possible devices. So. After mistakes like these...the doom of death doesnt seem so bad, does it? Embrace it because, in the Immortal words of Bruce Willis from The Whole Nine Yards-"Everyone dies, eventually" | | |
| A Soldier's Christmas
'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF PLASTER AND STONE.
I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
AND TO SEE JUST WHO IN THIS HOME DID LIVE.
I LOOKED ALL ABOUT, A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,
NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS, NOT EVEN A TREE.
NO STOCKING BY MANTLE, JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,
ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.
WITH MEDALS AND BADGES, AWARDS OF ALL KINDS,
A SOBER THOUGHT CAME THROUGH MY MIND.
FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT, IT WAS DARK AND DREARY,
I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER, ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY.
THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING, SILENT, ALONE,
CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.
THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE, THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER,
NOT HOW I PICTURED A UNITED STATES SOLDIER.
WAS THIS THE HERO OF WHOM I'D JUST READ?
CURLED UP ON A PONCHO, THE FLOOR FOR A BED?
I REALIZED THE FAMILIES THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT,
OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT.
SOON ROUND THE WORLD, THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY,
AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY.
THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR,
BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS, LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.
I COULDN'T HELP WONDER HOW MANY LAY ALONE,
ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME.
THE VERY THOUGHT BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE,
I DROPPED TO MY KNEES AND STARTED TO CRY.
THE SOLDIER AWAKENED AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE,
"SANTA DON'T CRY, THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE;
I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM, I DON'T ASK FOR MORE,
MY LIFE IS MY GOD, MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS."
THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP,
I COULDN'T CONTROL IT, I CONTINUED TO WEEP.
I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS, SO SILENT AND STILL
AND WE BOTH SHIVERED FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL.
I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT,
THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR SO WILLING TO FIGHT.
THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,
WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE,
WHISPERED, "CARRY ON SANTA,
IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE."
ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH, AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT,
MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT. | | |
| Alright...so im feeling really good right now--and i feel like sharing lol. So you know when you have your first kiss and its all fireworks, and your favorite song going off in your head and you know for the first time you finally know what its like to really care about someone, maybe even love them and that nasty, dark place inside your chest goes away completely? well thats what its like every time i kiss kelly...shes so amazing. I feel better than ive ever felt before. I feel like the whole world is right, that every day will be bright. Im seriously so happy-and like yeah, the times i had with meri were great...but its not the same...im so happy with kelly. shes great, and when she smiles no matter how bad the day has been, i melt inside. having her in my arms makes me the happiest, luckiest guy ever, and i love the way she hugs me. Im finally, truly happy.
