Coming Soon: Food, Inc

I've been away for a bit now but I'll be back shortly with somewhat of a new direction for this "blog" :) Here's a must see movie (at least I think so) coming June 12th. Question for the day: Do you know what you're eating???

In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that's been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, insecticide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of e coli--the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.

Food, Inc. reveals surprising -- and often shocking truths -- about what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here.

Say Word Video: OUR Government

Ok ok, I know it's been awhile. But moving right along :).... I'm so sick of our trifling government I don't know what to do. The lies, the mind control, the blatant deception from our food supply to our basic privacy rights. I'm not sure if I should just start a new blog, "Our Government and the Bull They Want You to Believe"!! LOL I don't know, I'll have to get back to you on that one. But for now, here are a few videos concerning our wonderful government. I already know some of you will simply chalk up my next few posts to conspiracy theory nonsense and hey, I say, believe what you want OR better yet believe what they want you to! Ya dig.

I'm refreshed....

Yeah I know. I've been missing for a minute. Aside from just being busy, I just haven't been motivated to write. Not that I'm here writing novels or anything but something has to push my fingers to type or else they want move. Make sense? LOL My birthday is next week and I'm so excited and blessed to have made it through another year. I wouldn't allow myself to list one complaint, even if I kinda wanted to :)

I've heard change is DIVINE in '09. So I can't wait to see what the new year has in store.

Could It Be.....President Barack Obama

I love these guys. Just no words.....

Who are you?

Are you to blame?
Of course not.
Or maybe.
But who are you?

I've never acknowledged your existence,
Never given power to your name.
Never needed you then, or now.
Or maybe I did, or do.
But who are you?

Did your absence in my mind,
flee to your presence in my soul?
Couldn't be.
Or maybe.
But who are you?

How can I miss what I never had?
How could you dismiss the essence of you?
I couldn't care.
Or maybe.
But who are you?

Strong and independent is the only being I know.
Past failures are mines, not yours.
But what if....what if you created this botch.
Could you admit that?
Would I accept that?
But who are you?

No memories of you.
Only the ones I made up in my dreams.
The woman in me want allow me to go back.
There's nothing left to fix.
He did what you were never man enough to do.

So on I go....
No hate for you, only love,
but why daddy,
do I ask....
Who are you?

Sometimes

Sometimes in life, you don't get second chances.

Sometimes in love, you lose.

Sometimes, sorry isn't enough.

Sometimes, realization comes a little too late.

Sometimes, joy ends in pain.

Sometimes, forgiving doesn't mean forgetting.

Sometimes, time isn't on your side.

Sometimes, if loving you is wrong...I DO wanna be right.

Sometimes, love loves conditionally.

Sometimes, love doesn't have anything to do with it.

Sometimes, you don't miss the wind until it fails to soothe your soul.

Sometimes, love can love you and leave you.

Sometimes, a hurricane is the only way to wash away the pain.

Sometimes, like this time, it can't be undone...

Sometimes, just sometimes... it is the door closer.

And sometimes, the some time is the now time.

Think About It: Hurt

How can you understand hurt when you've never experienced it yourself? To me some things can ONLY be taught (or learned) through self experience. Point blank...no in between, no exceptions. First let's define hurt. We're not talking about getting your feelings hurt or being disappointed. We're talking about real hurt, real pain, real heartbreak. Humm, heartbreak....go with me for a moment.

Heartbreak is waking up, to only realize you never went to sleep. Heartbreak is when you literally feel pain aching through your chest, you can't eat and you can't think. Heartbreak is a lonely place with only you in it, it's dark and it's cold. There are blankets in this room but you don't have the strength to reach them. Desolate.... There's nothing or no one to console you. Minutes turn into hours, days into months and still no relief in sight. What have I ever done so bad to deserve this, you wonder? Heartbreak I tell you...is the place where tears run empty. If what I describe is unfamiliar to you, then rest assure you've never experienced hurt and surely you've never confronted heartbreak.

And the funny thing is, there is good that comes from heartbreak that makes it soooo worth it. Now one would question how the heck anything good could come from pain and heartbreak. You would think that from the heartbreak I describe a permanent vessel of scorn would be born. Maybe in some unfortunate cases that might be true but for most, not. You never fully understand what giving is until something has been taken from you. Make sense? LOL

How could that be?

I can only explain it the way I've come to know it. You live life so carefree, you love so careless, you live without living. Then one day life slaps you dead in the face and when you're able to cope, overcome and move forward you never, ever look at life the same. I now appreciate life and people. I'm now aware of how my actions affect others and most importantly, hurt has taught me how to love unselfishly, with thought and with consideration. I would never want to cause anyone the pain that was caused to me. Hurt ironically brings out our most conscious, enlightened, amorous being.

Hurt...it's life's gift to us.
