Just another post....

it's memorial day
i'm really shaken up about this so
this is a tribute to everyone who died in the wars
all of the wars
everyone who died
on both sides
this is a tribute for the vietnamese teenager with his whole life in front of him, shot down by an american bullet
and this is a tribute for the american who came home and hung himself because he couldn't get the death out of him
to all those shot
to all those who died
to all those who lost a husband, a wife, a son, a child, a spouse
this is a tribute.
i am not silent.
i will not forget.

eli and his teddybear from nano.


Its not really a poem, but everyone mistakened it for a poem until eli came and said it wasn't, but its still really cool and looks like a poem. Its a really good post, either way.

From a blog that I found in someones siggie, was a really good quote, as well, but since I never post on here...


"You cannot leave where you are now, until you have decided where you would rather be." -Anonymous
The following post was very true as well, I think.

This quote rings true for most of us, at least from my perspective. How many of us here are aspiring to be authors, or artists, or something that we feel cannot be attained? What are we going to do to reach that?
In every Writing Conference or class I've ever attended, this message, while not always spoken, has always been there: If you keep at it, and you try hard enough, you will get published. Granted, not every aspiring author is going to publish the next bestseller. But none of us can see the future, and you miss 100% of the shots you never take.

That was the post after the quote. I think it rings true for most of us, as well. You will regret all the things you don't take. And we won't be the next best seller, either. But if you try hard enough and all that stuff, you may/will make it!

Well, I think thats all.... Have a good week!
