Do u know why until now
I cannot trust anyone who I communicate in the instant message, unless I peg them right in the board? Do u know why until now I only prefer to get to know people in the board instead of instant message? Do u know why I turn off my instant messaging? Because, I do not want to be a puppet. Because, I do not want to kiss anyone's a&&. Because, I do not want to be compelled, or be forced to do something that I do not want. Because, I do not want flattery in instant message that does not match with what is in the forum. Because, it is important for me to get to know someone in the forum, not in instant message. Because, again let me repeat myself, I am not ready for anything yet. I am not ready to love & be loved. My life goes on in endless song above earth's lamentations, I hear the real, though far-off hymn that hails a new creation. Through all the tumult and the strife I hear it's music ringing, It sounds an echo in my soul. How can I keep from singing? While though the tempest loudly roars, I hear the truth, it liveth. And though the darkness 'round me close, songs in the night it giveth. http://youtu.be/o_5-Kf2CrLchttps://youtu.be/-RHt3ElEvHQ |

if u are the type who likes watching
& observing rainbows from time to time to give color in some days when your mood is dreary & restless, do not resent the sunlight & rain, always be reminded, that the reason u are still able to see rainbows is because of those two. The Climb -Miley Cyrus I can almost see it That dream I am dreaming But there's a voice inside my head saying "You'll never reach it" Every step I'm taking Every move I make feels Lost with no direction My faith is shaking But I gotta keep trying Gotta keep my head held high There's always gonna be another mountain I'm always gonna wanna make it move Always gonna be a uphill battle Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose Ain't about how fast I get there Ain't about what's waiting on the other side It's the climb, yeah. The struggles I'm facing The chances I'm taking Sometimes might knock me down But no, I'm not breaking I may not know it But these are the moments that I'm gonna remember most, yeah Just gotta keep going And I, I got to be strong Just keep pushing on. |

Yes she is...... such a pleasure to talk too... cracks me up... And when Ms. Kristi shares her experiences in the forum as her way to encourage/uplift and give warmth & reminds us of compassion, Ms. Soufie encourage us to be sensible & use common sense. She has this impact to me like- "hey!this is how I understand your post Be smart or have a backbone or straighten up!" And u get to smile & start to get curious , why what happen? She has this way of encouraging me to read posts & normally threads I dont bother to read, to keep up of what has been happening on the board |

Airplanes - Lisa Loeb I grew up where throwing rocks in canyons is not allowed. I grew up where growing up makes me awkward and proud. I grew up were it was a difficult drive to the airport, And I hope you have a good ride, cause my mother, you know, She doesn't like to fly. I grew up were it was a difficult drive to the airport, But I grew up. School, school, swimming pool, I walk barefoot home from school. School, school. And mother, that's a hard word, the things that you're leaving, The things that you're missing, the things you don't know. And father, that's a hard word, the things that you're needing, The things that you're missing, the things that don't show. How happy do you have to be to be happy? How sad do you have to be to be sad? Do you have to be sad? Do you have to be? I grew up where throwing rocks in canyons is not allowed. |

Be proud of who u are.
of what u are. of what u have. It may not be enough for others. But it should be enough, to honestly say, life is always worth living for. When your day is long ... and the night The night is yours alone When you think you've had enough... of this life, well hang on. Don't let yourself go Cause everybody cries And everybody hurts... sometimes. Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along. When your day is night alone (hold on, hold on) If you feel like letting go (hold on) When you're sure you've had too much... of this life, well hang on. http://youtu.be/_GIT-ee4Pzw |

The government has been kicking so many cans down the road for so long, for so many decades, we're nearly 20 trillion dollars in debt and hundreds of trillions in unfunded liability debt. And someone thinks a reality induced ultimatum is going to get a president to do anything within the less than 1 year they really have left in office? Nah. if we, "just bystanders & spectators" of american politics grasp the fact that a 1 administration cannot resolve nor eliminate the issue of "nearly 20 trillion dollars in debt and hundreds of trillions in unfunded liability debt" how much more the american citizens? Feel good policies in the face of legislative apathy eh? Maybe I am just dense, but I believe your president was not ask to resign because of something that was just carried over to his administration. "He just took over.." and made the best/worst he could on what is handed over. Reality induced wise is too strong for me in this, Definitive test to moral issues maybe. He is the POTUS. His actions & decisions reflects Democracy & your country. President Obama has spent the last seven years pretty much continuing the same stuff he was doing as a senator. He was just president senator obama. Advocating a bipartisan view if I may say: What the world Sir need is a POTUS that will act, decides that reflects: Strength. Courage & Conscientiousness Not a senator, that reflects: "hierarchies that orchestrate its way of life and its worldview and indeed in everything that gives cultural identity, direction and meaning to people's everyday lives" Just Saying. |

Suffice it to say, I disagree even MORE than 100% with this Michael Goodwin. In addition to his recital of the "facts" being almost entirely built on a foundation of personal bias, his starting point that a President should RESIGN when circumstances cause a difference of perceptions. In this particular arena, Obama took over from a President who had run the entire military into the ground, using up not only the primary military resources on unnecessary invasions, but even used up the National Guard, all to avoid stepping up to the plate and expand the forces in order to conduct the wars he wanted to fight. On top of that, he drove the nations economy into a deeper ditch than it's been in since 1930, and all but eliminated any international sympathy that we gained from having been attacked at the beginning of his first term. This meant that even if Obama had NOT been elected with a mandate to avoid further warfare, he would not have the resources available to carry it off. And of course, once the Republicans gained control of Congress and blocked all funding for Obama to take actions of any kind (in the name of preserving those upper crust tax cuts of theirs), the ability of Obama to do the sort of things that the GOP proceeded to call for (such as putting troops into Syria and starting yet ANOTHER war) was moot. How about this Michael Goodwin resign, on the grounds that he clearly has nothing but self-righteous posturing and propaganda to offer. With all due respect Sir, while I can say that this is an incisive rebuttal & answers some of the controversial & hard-nosed questions of the Obama Administration- one cannot help but wonder why- it has the same tinged as political legitimacy equating to moral authority? Did I just hear an echo of sentiments with exact ring in the Bush Administration? I am talking about your nation's underlying moral precepts- This is a serious enough issue to warrant a strong hand for a political leader- we are talking about lives. We are not talking about political maneuverings & strategic foreign policy- the other side are killing people Sir. Whether they praise God or not, Whether they do it for religion or politics the fact is, they are killing innocent people. This should be at least be addressed, even at the cost of questions in political legitimacy to foreign policies? If Obama cannot rise to the challenge of leadership in this historic crisis, then, for the good of humanity, he should resign. As a top intelligence adviser told me yesterday, “What they did in Paris means they are coming here.” In fact, they already are here. Law-enforcement officials say the FBI has as many as 1,000 investigations open into Islamic State sympathizers inside the US. Is America ready to stop multiple assault teams of suicide bombers? Is New York ready? Or Chicago, Los Angeles or Washington, DC? ^^^Why this then? Just wondering Sir. Why it is more on ideology? when innocent lives are stake. by ideology I mean this- "hierarchically oriented stand-patters as "Rightists" and the egalitarian, we-can-do-better, let's-change-things people as "Leftists?" The very essence of having a government is to protect the citizens by upholding the law & the constitution. Or does this also evolves with the time? |

Smart TV's Are Watching You

My question is, would it really be that bad?
I mean if they will track what u are viewing? Average normal people, actually appreciates, if it is more convenient and affordable to watch what we want to view. Yes, we give up a little of our privacy, but as long as it is not use to kill people, hurt innocents,& blow up cities, For me, I think in a way it has its merit. |

Personally, as a bystander from a 3rd world country,
in the light of what is happening, i am hoping he would resign. I've read somewhere before that regime change always seems radical but it is also a conservative impulse. Just "like other controversial president, it is understandable if they would make democracy the rhetorical centerpiece of an administration.." but the question is how far? the issues your OP discussed are real questions & fears, based on reality, reflecting a dangerous deterioration of American Democracy.. Just saying.. |

1. National Treasure: Book of Secret
of Nicholas Cage I am an avid fan of Bruce Greenwood, and for me,it is his character as the POTUS in this film, that somehow makes the film unforgettable. 2.The Longest Ride of Scott Eastwood Everyone with me at the time, this was shown here in my country, hated this film, I ended up watching this film alone, and until now, I am still thankful I chose to watch this movie instead even if the ending is so predictable & cliched. 3.Thirteen Days of Kevin Costner This film is one of the reasons I became a fan of American Politics. Acknowledging as being a bipartisan in my views, somehow this film inculcated in me a sense of how: "context is the enemy of gullibility. The more that people know about a subject, the more they have mulled it over & weighted different ideas, the more they will feel in coming to their own conclusions" 4.The New World of Colin Farrell I really like how the movie ended the story of a man & a woman. The 4 films reminded me of : "People only see what they are prepared to see" |

So why are you single?

Why are you single? Because of my being me. I cannot prove this yet in Mingle, maybe after a year? but in the real world, I always have a different way of seeing things. I always have different perspective on things. I always have different understanding of things. And it always works at my disadvantage. If I can only see things thru like everyone else maybe..perhaps maybe I wont be this alone. & the sad part is, not because of lack of trying, in fairness, I really tried seeing things on others perspective, but I end up short. I do not like to conform, just because everybody is doing it, the more I will not do it. I do not like being cornered or being compelled to do it just because, everybody is doing it because it is okay- the more I will do my best to not to do it. The first time I have heard that if "I will not change my way of seeing things I will end up an old maid" is from my older brother. I was so focused back then in maintaining my scholarship in High School because I do not want to study in a public school Yes even back then, I am already like this,I am different instead of just doing what everybody else is doing. Every girl in my age group in my immediate neighborhood at that time, either get pregnant,elope, get married to a foreigner thrice their age, live with their boyfriends, swap boyfriends, and others go to college. Yup! I choose scholarship & college. My math professor said if "I will not change my way of seeing things I will end up an old maid" Even in college I failed. Even if it means so much to me, I cannot conform.I cannot give in, just because everybody is doing it. I always find a reason to say, I dont see the need to be like them. Until I met my ex, I dont see the need to want someone that bad to change who I am. Sad thing is, I have realize that even if I changed, my ex family can never accept me, I will never be good enough. No matter what I will do, the casualty, will be my ex in the long run,so I walked away. There are always things that we are not worthy of. I am such a bad judge of character, one in my long list of shortcomings,that a La Sallian Brother actually told me several years ago, that "with the way u see things, U will enjoy life more in single blessedness, rather than marriage." And to think at that time I am already Godless. See? And so far, my brothers, math professor & the La Sallian Brother are right, the men who stimulates my mind & imagination: -when in private, does not want to hold hands, they want something else. -when in private they do not want to answer questions, they rush things, and when I get rushed, I feel belittled, I feel being looked down as a woman. I feel disrespected with my views in life. I have yet to met a man, who stimulates my mind & imagination that is gentle, considerate & a gentleman, & who does not take offense when I said, "lets take it slow, one day at a time" & who do not connect my every statement with sex. I have yet to met a man, who stimulates my mind & imagination that is not abusive, when they are rebuff. I have yet to met a man, who stimulates my mind & imagination that has the mind set, that stimulating one's mind is not even about sex. It is about encouraging me to think, challenging me to be enthusiastic in a different perspective than what I have. I have yet to met a man, who stimulates my mind & imagination who say "look here- why wont you think of it this way"- and mean it, they always just pretend that they understand me, then offer something so insulting & demeaning. As if I do not have those. As if I do not have more than those. The sad thing is, I cant even blame them. The sad thing is, it is wishful thinking to say they are the ones wrong and I am right. Reality check wise- why then it happen all the time? I can understand if it only happen once or twice, but it happens all the time. I think it is really the way I see & reacted to things. It is my perspective that makes me not compatible with anyone. It is my perspective that always get me into trouble. Should I change? Another wishful thinking. Even if I wanted to, can I really change? this is who I am. I might as well accept the fact that there is a big probability that maybe there are just people like me destined to die say after another 25 years, withered, old & wallowing in heavy metal music & pop rock. Because we are built this way. Single is not that bad anyway as long as, I am not force to conform, what everyone else is doing. As long as I can still be myself, be proud of what I have become, I would not mind, very much being different. |

^^^ Your post Sir, somehow makes me optimistic, that there are still men out there who accepts "stocky- not-so-fit-athletic-with- cellulite" women. chronic i remember your pictures and i must cry "foul" that is the worst possible description any one could ever use when talking about the person in those pictures Worst eh? Then u did not look closely Sir. Stocky. Not so fit. Athletic w/ Cellulite. I stand by that Sir. To say that I am fit is misleading. Maybe because I was wearing a black shirt at that time. If u have looked more closely, u will see why I have to work harder in Seated Pillow Squeeze & Seated Hand Push, everyday, & curse Wendys Baconator in my mind while I am holding the Isometric Contraction Thank u though, that u have remembered my picture:) |

Sympathy For France

One could not help but be deeply saddened watching & reading the
news of what happened in Paris, France. One could not help but feel anger & helplessness, because we could not be there to bring at least a measure of solace to the victims that are still alive & terrorized by such abominable event.Those who lost their love ones who could never yet be comforted until justice is serve. One can only wonder, how & when can the people that are affected by such cowardly attacks can feel safe again, after such obvious well-coordinated, premeditated & synchronized attack. For this, I cant help but feel exactly the same way as Ingrid Michaelson. Echoing her sentiments - "Ingrid Michaelson: Feeling helpless and very human. My heart is breaking for the people of Paris." |

I broke down & went to my John Lennon playlist hahaha,
its been a while- and I remembered the day I joined in Mingle, I was listening to this song, so I might as well share too my first Mingle poem: Why Are You Here? Here? You mean this forum? Mingle 2? or in this world? Perhaps, we want to brave the world wide web and be bold... Or maybe we just want to keep at bay the gnawing cold... Cold? You mean physical?emotional? or spiritual coldness? Whichever it is, the basic antidote is warmth and tenderness... To even for a few minutes, forget our everyday worries and unacknowledged sadness, Is i guess a damn good reason enough to enjoy the Mingle2 madness.. 9 Dream - John Lennon So long ago Was it in a dream? Was it just a dream? I know, yes I know It seemed so very real Seemed so real to me Took a walk down the street Through the heat whispered trees I thought I could hear Hear Hear Hear Somebody call out my name (John) As it started to rain Two spirits dancing so strange Ah! Bowakawa, pousse pousse Dream, dream away Magic in the air Was magic in the air? I believe, yes I believe More I cannot say What more can I say? On a river of sound Through the mirror go round, round I thought I could feel Feel Feel Feel Music touching my soul Something warm, sudden cold The spirit dance was unfolding Ah! Bowakawa, pousse pousse |
