1. Here to There

Performed by: Wembley

I'm always here.
I'm never there.
I'm never, ever anywhere.
Excepting here, 'cause here is where I'm in.
But when I go from here to there,
My here comes with me everywhere,
'Till there is here, and here is where I've been.

Cleaning out my Inbox

Let It Go
There are people who can walk away from you.

And hear me when I tell you this! When people can
walk away from you: let them walk.
I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with
you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming
to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone.

When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny
is never tied to anybody that left.

People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they
are not joined to you, you can't make them stay.

Let them go.

And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means
that their part in the story is over
And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over
so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead.
You've got to know when it's dead.

You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something.
I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe
in good-bye.
It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know
whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes
too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay.

Let them go!!

If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you
and was never intended for your life, then you need to......

LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ......

LET IT GO!!!

If someone can't treat you right, love you
back, and see your worth.....
LET IT GO!!!

If someone has angered you ........

LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge......

LET IT GO!!!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction.....

LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs
or talents

LET IT GO!!!

If you have a bad attitude.......

LET IT GO!!!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better......

LET IT GO!!!

If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a
new level in Him......

LET IT GO!!!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken
relationship....................

LET IT GO!!!

If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help
themselves.....

LET IT GO!!!

If you're feeling depressed and stressed .........

LET IT GO!!!

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to
handling yourself and God is saying "take your hands of f of it," then
you need to......

LET IT GO!!!

Let the past be the past. Forget the former things. GOD is doing
a new thing for 2007!!!

LET IT GO!!!

Get Right or Get Left .. think about it, and then .
LET IT GO!!!

Today

Today I went on search for a record player. I have seen vinyl tossed by the way-side, and know there is someone who understands. Somewhere in the lyrics of yesterday, or the beat of once more, I'll feel the same. So I'll rescue myself and time not yet forgotten and in a Corrine Bailey Fashion aim to put some records on.

Well,....I guess its just like writing letters with addresses. It just feels so much better than writing letters to no one.

Speaking of which, I wrote this wonderful letter to someone describing my "quaint little town." --Admittedly, that sounds completely arrogant, both of my town, and writing ability, but I thought it was damn good. One of those descriptions I would have liked to have shared with more than one person, but a description-I suppose--that was drawn out by that sole person.

I mean isn't that special. When one person gets you to convey just what you want, when you want.  Maybe it isn't just one person that is able to do that, but maybe you can only say these "special things" to that special person.

I'll admit, that person has changed in my life. Sometimes it is my Marine who is my best friend of ten years. Sometimes its my "favorite" sister, who despite being ten years younger, allows her essence to fill me up so much, I am recharged and am able to "find me".

(Side note: In my sisters mirror,  *written on the mirror, in blue paint*, are the words:
                                                "Don't talk to Strangers....
                                                They only lead to Danger"
I don't know why it made as much sense as it did, but they're ya go.....)


I missing a lot of those people lately. Some more than they probably care to read.
Someone recently wrote sometimes we miss people for strange reasons....I have to agree. But the reasons aren't so strange are they.  Sometimes those people are  "it." Whether they know it or not, they're "it" to someone, or rather that "Someone" is "it."

--I suppose it's easier with postcards to remind us, but I guess thats what started this entry...

Would the world between us break these ties?
We've worked so hard to realize,
Could a postcard say what I see in your eyes?
Could I ever break away?

Silly, John, its never wanting to break away thats the hard part. But I guess that's in the lyrics I haven't posted, and the postcards I keep sending.

Besitos Universe.

Mitakuye Oyasin

inadvertent negligence. Negligence in which the actor is not aware of the unreasonable risk that he or she  is creating, but should have foreseen and avoided it. (Black's Law, 7th ed.)

In other words....I should have know better....But let us catch up....

Everything you do, or fail to do, has a consequence. For my best friend the Marine, he is learning this lesson in the hardest of ways. He is learning that every decision he makes affects the lives of those under his command. This surprisingly he learns from the safety of a classroom, and the structure of the Quantico, VA Officer Candidate School.

He is currently in his eighth week of training, and by the grace of the universe, was able to see me this last weekend. He is bruised, and he is tired, but most of all he is AFFECTED. He has begun to evaluate his life in the way in which He is currently now being evaluated. He shares his life lessons with me.

"You are evaluated on results, not intentions."
    (--Hmmm, funny, I'm sure mens rea and common law say otherwise...but let us forget     that for now)

Currently, he has taken this philosophy to heart. Undoubtedly they "drill" this home, by reading the names of the Marines that have passed, since he first started his journey. To date, there are three.

They explain, these are the sons, husbands, fathers, friends, and loved ones, that HE may one day be responsible for.

My Marine takes these speeches to heart, and I am proud; and yes, too an extent I think the philosophy and scare tactic of this drill is in the right. Sometimes one person is placed in a position of responsibility. To know and own up to this responsibility--to knowingly go into a situation--where one mush shoulders these duties, is a heavy thing. I'm proud to say my Marine has some pretty broad shoulders.

What slaps me in the face about it all is how each action, or inaction, can be applied to every day life. My Marine states, in personal relationships, either the person saying they loves you shows you, proves it, every day, or they don't. By NOT acting, a choice has been made.

Which brings us to the law.

A personal tort, is a tort (civil wrong, which someone may be legally held accountable for) involving or consisting of an injury to one's person, reputation or feelings, as distinguished from an injury or damage to real or personal property.

A negligent tort....well, I'm sure you can figure it out....

Interestingly enough, in my snow globe of a universe this all fits together.

Days like today are filled with these personal torts, so to say. For instance sometimes what a person has said or failed to say  causes injury to one's person, reputation, or feelings.


Not protecting one's reputation causes hurt.
Protecting one's reputation causes hurt.
Being dismissed in person, via phone, comment, or text message may hurt.

Now while the American public may not act (and I daresay is not permitted, Dei gratia) on this legal plunder for civil remedy, I daresay perhaps EVERY person may act just that much better if we were held accountable for all of our actions. I daresay, we would think twice if we always knew we EFFECTED.

Just when we think our letters truly are to no one, or that we are not heard, we are.

The comments from  rdautumnsage proved that to me. Her thoughts while more focused than my own, relay the same message I'm learing today.  -(http://journals.aol.com/rdautumnsage/ravens-lament/).

To her, and to you my little universe I say thank you, and Mitakuye Oyasin....we are all related.

Now, on another and yet more personal note, I suppose I should have known....

I leave you with an excerpted songs  and a link tonight:

So take a step back
And a breath in
Let it out now
Put your chin up
You can do it tiger
You a man now
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now

We bring ourselves down
And build ourselves up in disappointment
How fragile we are
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
We'll shake up this town
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
So sexy we are
So sexy we are, we just don't know it

 (Gym Class Heroes, Shoot Down the Stars)

The whole album is good, but tonight I'll listen to "Just If I."

Daily Horoscope....

Leo: You continue to move forward with your life with great intent, but it's wise to stop long enough to take stock of what you have accomplished. Take the necessary time to analyze what you truly want and reevaluate your plan to reflect your adjusted desires. Don't worry if joy seems out of reach now. Do what you must while believing that the good times will return. Thursday, July 19, 2007


How fitting....Today I go forth to buy a new laptop and Blacks Law Dictionary.

The cat seems to fill every box I empty...
