Everything coved in ash
Everything covered in black
Everything needs to be cleaned
fire28.JPG

I start my life over again
I say goodbye to all my friends
I have a cry as I sit alone
I take a leap very far away from home
fire14.JPG

Everything covered in sunshine
Everything covered in valleys
Everything needs to be seen

I cut off all my hair
I can’t handle yet another scare
I take a walk in the park
I feel as though I can’t be stopped
fire16.JPG

Everything covered in letters
Everything covered in words
Everything needs to be read
fire24.JPG

I send out a million letters by and bye
I receive three replies
I schedule a few interviews
I try not to lose myself in the traffic, though I feel askew

Everything covered in cars
Everything covered in beauty
Everything needs to be said
fire19.JPG

I get back in my car
I try not to drive too far
I start all over again
I wonder where it all will end

Now my life can start a new
In L.A. my life has become a zoo

Loving someone doesn’t mean you have to like everything they do, and it doesn’t mean they have to have a million dollars, and it doesn’t mean you have to understand them, and at times it doesn’t even mean you have to like them.

It could mean you finally decided to accept them for who they are and what they do, no matter how much they frustrate you.

The reason I bring this up is because I recently found a new look on love, by looking at love through someone else’s eyes. This poem is inspired by those two people, they know who they are.


When the sun goes down and the moon comes up
When the dogs lick my tears away
When that movie makes me cry for the 100th time this year
When the look on your face still stops my heart
When the sound of your voice still makes me want to kill you
When I’ve cried so much that I can’t cry anymore
When you make me laugh at your stupid jokes
When I’m on the phone with you until 2AM
When you get frustrated at me for not reacting
When I push you away out of fear that I could possibly love you any more
When you broke my heart…

And even after you stopped loving me…

I will always love you, forever and always…

And the video, because this is a video blog, is inspired by postsecrets.com.

The song is a Huey Lewis & The News cover by: The Early November
called: Power Of Love

And to that special person, I’ll always love you but you’ll never know it, cause I’m way too fucked up to tell you.

Enjoy!

Okay I’ve known about both for a while but they both rock so much I wanted to do a blog about them together.

The song is called: Dirty Little Secret by the band: All American Rejects
It was big back in 2005!


The website is called PostSecret and it is one for the reasons I don’t feel so alone in so many different ways. Enjoy them both and send in a secret so I can read it on Sunday! REALLY! I have yet to send in my own secret just in case anyone cares. If anyone wants me to post their secret on my blog send it in!

Best to you all!

Animal Rights and Writing07 Feb 2008 10:08 pm

Hello everyone! East Bay Animal Advocates just posted my article on the newly named blog “Ruffled Feathers“. The blog was named by Ian Ross one of our Board of Directors! Enjoy:

Whether it’s a chained dog in your neighbor’s back yard, a dairy cow with swollen utters, a protest to stop animal cruelty, or a hen who only wants to spread her wings. Animal rights media is extremely important to the animal rights movement, and far too often over looked by the mainstream media.

Who needs the mainstream meat-dia in the world we live in today! We have every form of getting our voices heard, from web pages to video blogs the information is out there.

Making animal rights media is easy. Making interesting and engaging animals rights media is the tricky part. A good thing to keep in mind is what you want to make of your story. Do you want it to be, censored or uncensored, biased or unbiased. And where oh where should you put it to get it seen by people outside the animal rights community? And the even more gripping question is, how can any compassionate human being desensitize themselves to the violence and torture?

When making a media for animals it’s crucial to be as uncensored as humanly possible. The more we censor the lives of these constantly tortured animals, the more we lean to the direction of: “Happy cows come from California.”, and “Always natural. Always fresh.”, or everyone’s favorite, “Milk, does a body good.”. On television there may be some feathers raised for such uncensored material, and in that case by all means censor, because it’s better to be seen censored than to not be seen at all. But on the Internet all bets are off. Even if the viewer clicks off the minute they see cruelty, the significant point is they see it, and the more it’s out there the more they will have no choice but to look.

Starting a video blog, posting on Indy Media, uploading to You Tube and myspace, are all great ways to impact people that wouldn’t normally be in your community. And love it or hate it, but You Tube and myspace are here to stay and probably the best way to be seen by people outside of any activist world.

As far as desensitizing yourself to the cruelty and torture you will be seeing on a daily basest, well… This is different for different people, some are never able to completely desensitize from these images, and others just pretend to be. Remember being effected by this cruelty is what makes us fight for what’s right, so don’t be afraid to shed a few tears, just remember after you wipe your eyes clear get back up and keep working. The animals will never stop dieing if we stop working to help them.

Here’s the press release! Come and show your support for free speech!

SAN FRANCISCO’S “UNION SQUARE” TO HOST

STRIKING WRITERS

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14-SUNDAY, DECEMBER 16

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Bay Area writers, comedians, actors, musicians and fans will rally and picket The Disney Store at Union Square (400 Post Street) from Friday, December 14th – Sunday, December 16th in support of the Writers Guild of America strike.

Picket times are Friday 10AM-8PM; Saturday 10AM-7PM; Sunday 11AM-6PM.

Friday’s picketing writers will include many of the Oscar®- Emmy®- and Golden Globe-winning members of the WGA who have made the Bay Area their home, as well as surprise celebrity guests to be announced.

The event will support the Writers Guild of America strike that began on November 5, 2007. Approximately 10,500 members of the Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) and Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW), who are screenwriters and television writers, are on strike. The key issue in the negotiations is new media. Writers want fair compensation for their work whenever and wherever it is used, including Internet channels, downloads such as iTunes, webisodes and mobisodes on mobile phones.

The San Francisco Bay Area is home to some of this country’s most renowned writers and filmmakers, and the economic impact of this strike is devastating to every film- and television-making community in the country. The purpose of this event is to raise public awareness and to hasten a positive outcome to the negotiations with the AMPTP.

The Writers Guild members living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area believe that it is in everyone’s best interest to promote fair and balanced negotiations and to let the public know that not only is our filmmaking community a celebrated and vibrant one, but it is an active one with pure purpose and impeccable intent.

BACKGROUND ON THE WRITERS GUILD OF AMERICA STRIKE

The Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) and the Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW) are labor unions representing writers in motion pictures, broadcast, cable, news, and new media. The WGAE and WGAW went on strike on November 5, 2007 when talks broke down after the Guild was unable to reach agreement on a new contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). Approximately 10,500 television and screen writers are on strike. Negotiations with the AMPTP, which represents approximately 300 companies and studios, resumed after Thanksgiving but broke down again on December 7th. The last Writers Guild strike was in 1988 and lasted 22 weeks.
