A Note

Stasis

Everyone's changing
But you stay the same
All the rules changed
Still you play your game
Of love and destruction
Of war and of peace
With all of the lies
You spread your disease
Your cancer still grows
It gnaws at my soul
But I'm fighting the fight
And soon I'll be whole
Unlike you

does anyone know of any natural remedies for toothaches?
my wisdom teeth are really bothering me, i don't have the money to get them taken out yet, and i'm not sure what else to do. i browsed the memories but had trouble finding anything.
right now i'm just using orajel (which i hate) and sleeping on hot water bottles (which is fairly annoying!).
any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks :)

THE SHAPE SHIFTERS - CIRCUIT CITY

THE SHAPE SHIFTERS - CIRCUIT CITY

Fluttering butterflies

Distance is a far cry enemy
truly a doubtful feeling
abundance yet to become
a natural servant

Serene, ideal landscapes
the silence is too narrow
minds become one in green grass
fluttering butterflies around swarm

If love was set to days
bridges built for company
a quaint little spot for tea
no neighbor's grass is greener

Loneliness not a world for man
discreet word, but no open mouth
like the wings of a butterfly
sending colors and life

Such simple mystique

Her beauty is such
I drop on my knees and melt
such a smile she has

KFC to offer vegan options for Canadians

I'm not kidding

But any vegan with a brain realizes that even vegan food from KFC is drenched in blood and misery.

cat won't eat

I took Lucy to the vet yesterday for her yearly vaccinations and I also got her nails trimmed. She was great at the vet, everyone adored her and they said she's very healthy. they gave her a Bennadrill shot before they gave her the vaccinations because she was very very lethargic for 24 hours after the shots last time. Last night when I came home she was keen on her dinner and ate it like normal. she slept most of the evening, and rubbed up against me this morning as she always does when she wakes. I fed her and she didn't eat her breakfast. This is highly unusual because she has never not eaten her breakfast before. She's just... not interested. There has been no vommiting, although she's still quiet and sleepy. should I be worried? I have to leave for work in about an hour and I don't know what to do. I'll leave food out for her, but I'm worried and don't know if I should be.

Juice and juicers

I just got a cheap juicer, just to try it. I have wanted to get a juicer for a while but honestly I'm staring at $300 juicers and wondering how it could be worth $300.

That said, me and my cheap-o juicer will give it a go. Does anyone have a favorite site for "juice" recipes?

Hunting v. Farming - which is less harmful?

What are your opinions on people who hunt their own meat? Do you see it as a lesser evil than people who consume factory meat?

I've talked it over with some vegan/vegetarian friends who don’t have a problem with it at all. Most of us agreed that if the animal has the ability to get away, without being severally injured and then dying slowly in the process, than it's a more natural way of consuming meat. Plus the animal doesn't have to suffer it's entire life knowing it's going to die or be mistreated like manufactured ones. On the plus side,  for humans, the meat's organic.

I'm  just curious  since this seems to be a topic normally avoided by both sides.


Btw, I've been drinking my mother's soy milk. It's ok in small doses, but it still gives me the willies. Need to try some Almond milk.

Poetry by Albert De Lorenzo

This Ancient Holy Place
by Albert De Lorenzo

Through the cold mist of my breath
I see three empty arches,
once magnificent stained glass windows,
filled with leafless vines and thorns.

It is stone cold,
under a sliver of moon.
Pinprick stars pierce
through a black sheen.

The altar top,
broken, scattered on the floor.
A creature of the night kneels
wailing at the stars above.

Shivering clear to the bone,
I do not want to believe my senses.
Yet the hardness of the marble floor
insists to the reality of this place.

The sharpness of my slightest sound
raises my senses to a razor’s edge,
brings the creature’s mad gleam upon me,
his wails echoing throughout the ruin.

The creature comes for me,
stars begin to swim,
fangs sink into my throat,
the only warmth in this place.

How beautiful it is!
It seems so natural,
this ancient holy place,
my unexpected death.

Windows and Wisdom

Seeing is knowing, as all the wise say.

Seeing too much however, can be a devastating game to play.

 


When every creative spark seems to be drawn from the past,

Originality becomes a luxury that fails to last.

 


Dear Honesty, may you go down quietly, without a fight.

And away you will be from sound and sight.




Seeing is knowing, as all the wise say.

I see to much, and so for victory, I play.

Betraying Trust

A lover’s bond

Mutual trust

Fragile and vulnerable

 

Given tentatively

Nourished gradually

Blooms gracefully

Bestowing a subtle bouquet

To all who chance upon it

 

Watered by our tears

Some joyful, others full of shared sorrow

 

Warmed by our passion

Sizzling and insatiable

 

Nurtured by our affection

An endless embrace

 

A lover’s bond

A delicate, beautiful, gentle flower

Now lies wilting

Its stalk broken

Crushed underneath my careless feet

 

A butterfly’s wings

Once touched

Never can fly again

About staying alive...

I just graduated high school and will be moving away very soon! I do not cook and will probably be too poor to stay easily nutritional, haha!

What is an inexpensive and easy way to eat healthy?

Help with leather goods.

My roommate has a kilt with leather straps that are now warped. Is there anything I can do to fix this? He did purchase mink oil and has been applying that using a hair dryer.
