a vid that caught my attention

I was emailed regarding the loss of an associate. He was not a "friend" due only to lack of time I hope as he was surely someone I would have felt so honored to call friend. The one who emailed me spoke of his children now fatherless, and it was an image that has stuck in my mind and heart. So, perhaps that is why this vid seemed to make my heart jump just a bit. I'm sure this great man is looking down on his children now, and always will watch over them. Warning: this one may break your heart, Miles.

For Darryl

Aw, dammit, not another one!

Send in the Clowns

The Clown, the Fool, the only one who could tell the king that which was embarassing or spoke against the king. He was thought to be insane, out of his mind, open to abuse....and so whatever he said was irrelevent. Or was it? They were and are important to our world, and yet most have gone the way of Shakespeare, lost in the past and forgotten for the typical fools of today.

I was always one to deflect the conversation. It was easier to be thought the fool than to face the bullets.

Isn't it rich? The fools now days are the folks like my previous post. So intent upon attention that they have lost thier way. So focused on themselves they don't see what they show others. Or, perhaps they don't care.

And, in the background, in the behind scenes from this media assisted fools, lie our soldiers - fighting for ??? There lie our children, starving. There lounge our rich while there scrounge our poor.

I received a vid recently in the mail. It began a spiral of anger and outrage that really had little to do with the vid. It was because as seems to be the case more and more, we are told to follow the white rabbit and not look at the scene going on behind the clown. The media point towards the foolish, the irrelevent, the inconsequential to distract from the truth, or in this case the lies. I am tired of being "entertained" while the ship sinks. And, yet....could we even face the enormity of what is really happening?

We, thankfully, still have some who are willing to tell the king that he's naked. We, thankfully, still have some who are willing to tell the king (David) that he just sent a man to die so he could have the wife. If only we had more who would speak out, and if only we had more who would see the error and try to change.

This came in the mail today...

This just made perfect sense to be shared.

Lindsay Lohan is 24 and her story is all over the news because she*s acelebrity and a drug addict.

Charlie Sheen is all over the news becausehe is a celebrity and has multiple issues.
