Have you noticed that sometimes, indeed most times, the choices we make could either make or break us?

Our life choices could either hold us back for good or propel us to greater heights.

only recently i was reading about the life and times of the late Michael Jackson. The friends and advisers he had, the hangers on that were around him and his endless, but elusive pursuit for perfection. I was wondering if he had had a better set of friends and advisers, if he would...

starting over is really one of the hardest things to do, but is also a necessity of life.

I have a friend who spent several years training in his field to pursue a career path but recently got laid off in this climate of economic recession. He now finds himself unemployed with a wife, four kids, a large mortgage to pay and he is middle aged. His choices are limited: either search for another job in the same field where the jobs are scarce or re-train and start over again completely...

i breathe, i breathe
i exhale, i sigh
i wonder, am wandering
i flounder, hither and thither
every day like a fog

i aim to please
i long to hear
i live to see smiles
my breath, my breath
i hold my breath

you love me
those are words
i live to hear
i wait, i pause
listen to you
bestow me
with a smile

i seek, am searching
arrows piercing
i hunger,...

Hhmm, i had the craziest experience and i want to share.

Only recently i was minding my business when the phone rang and my office asked me if i'd like to make a few extra bucks for myself. I quickly jumped on the offer and i was told to report at a certain address and be part of a concert, to perform some special duties and get paid.

I inquired as to what the concert was about and was informed it was a gay pride parade/concert.

shuoo!!

Thou,
Thou art a goddess of yore,
Thou art a myth,
Of two ancient civilizations.

Thou,
Thou art the daughter
Of Saturn and Opis,
And twin sister of the chief god.
Thou art the mother of Mars and Vulcan
Thy Greek equivalent is Hera.

Thou,
Thou art the patron goddess
Of that thousand year civilization,
That empire that ruled
From the east to the west,
That empire that was feared...
