Excursions into the psyche of my insanity

Doesn't necessarily mean it SHOULD be done. Just got back from seeing "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". Three words are all that need to be said. WHAT A DISASTER. Spoilers galore riddle this entry, so if you don't want to be spoiled, stop reading. But take it from me, have it spoiled, you'll save money that way. You know, I think that movie was just made for sheer greed purposes. I'm sitting here after seeing it and being absolutely appaled going "Got nothing". My mind is completely locked up. I can not even begin to find the words that would even start to cover the sheer and absolute dismay and disappointment I'm feeling. You know, at the end of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Indy was seen riding into the sunset. They should have just left him there. There are so many times I have said, "Just because it can be done, does not mean it SHOULD be done". Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is j...

You know how everyone is always in love with a dream? If I had to write a love letter to my dream...I think it would go like this. My Love, Before I fall asleep, I see your face. When I fall asleep in your arms, I am filled with hope for tomorrow. When I wake up and see you, I think I'm still dreaming because I can't believe it's you I'm waking up next to. Every day I am grateful for you. I am grateful for the freedom you allow me, but you keep me in balance and completely fulfilled. The look in your beautiful eyes keeps me going when my heart is troubled. When I cry, you dry my eyes and take me away from my sorrows. Before I met you, my heart was so empty that if you lifted your ear to it you could have heard the ocean, but now that I have been immersed in your spirit, I come away feeling fulfilled and clean; my sorrows have been washed away by the purity of your love and strength of your heart. When I hear your voice, my spirit soars, I feel like I could fly; I ...

I don't know if I can accurately sum it all up why my heart hurts so much. First off, there is my reading about how truly horrid religion is in "The God Delusion". Then let's pile on the movie I just finished watching about Women's Sufferage in a film called "Iron Jawed Angels". Then let's cap it off with this post I found in a forum I frequent: 'Hot Chocolate' A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at a reunion and decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired. During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives. Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and an assortment of cups - porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate. When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor ...

Now, if you've been reading me for a while now, you know that I also LOVE to read. Right now, I'm in the middle of the book "The God Delusion" by Dr. Richard Dawkins. Now it's a book about Atheism. That's right folks, here I am in Right-Wing Conservative America reading a book about Atheism. I have to tell you, it's an outright relief to know I'm not the only one who questions the nature of the universe. Growing up, I was surrounded by what I like to call "Sunday Christians". That's right, I grew up in the heart of Bible Belt Texas. The "Holier than thou" capital of the world, where billboards read "Jesus Saves" and little Christian fish adorn the back of a good majority of pick-up trucks and cars; where the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) "saves" the souls of children everywhere, teaching them that why they are so good at athletics, or why they compete is because of God. Where it's ok to be...
