EDUCATE YO SELF FOOL!!!

So, let me get this straightâ€¦. The European Ottomans invaded a bunch of places including North Africa and after about 4 centuries, the Hungarians, then Russians, Greeks and Serbs all got a go at being big daddy. Then Europe decides that after WWI it wants to take over its provinces and make them colonies.

What? Did you say something, did you ask what they are?!?!

SYRIA ~ IRAQ ~ LEBANON ~ YEMEM

The Europeans then set about drawing nice, neat, straight lines to divide their new colonies. But why bother to adjust boundaries for little things like centuries old cultures or even physical features in the landscape. Naw, the heck with that!

Oh, what? Iâ€™m sorry, did you ask what happened next???

Funny you should ask, due to these boundaries and some desert zones being poorly divided and never marked,â€¦â€¦â€¦. TADA ~ IRAQ was born! And not just any ole plop out birth, it was made a kingdom by British Colonial Secretary Winston Churchill in 1921, making Baghdad the capital. Yeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhh, a BRITISH KINGDOM, how noble and prestigious!

But wouldnâ€™t ya know that later on these little ole British lines in the dirt would lead to quarrels and armed conflicts with neighboring Muslim states. Would you believe those darn boundary lines were drawn before anyone knew there was a crap load of oil out there??? Yup, you guessed it, that led to some very unevenly distributed oil wealth and wouldnâ€™t ya know that just happened to create another source of division and distrust among Islamic neighbors!? Whoâ€™d a thunk it!

History is such a funny thang aint it? Nowâ€¦I donâ€™t know about you, but um, maybe, just MAYBE going into other countries and bossing them around isnâ€™t a proven good-long-term idea. Just maybe!

HOW DARE WE (anyone) TRY AND DO IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

Imagine it pouring, it's raining down on us Mosh pits outside the oval office Someone's tryina tell us something, Maybe this is god just sayin' we're responsible For this monster, this coward, That we have empowered This is Bin Laden, look at his head noddin' How could we allow something like this without pumping our fists Now this is our final hour Let me be the voice in your strength and your choice Let me simplify the rhyme just to amplify the noise Try to amplify the times it, and multiply by six... Teen million people, Are equal at this high pitch Maybe we can reach alqueda through my speech Let the president answer a higher anarchy Strap him with an Ak-47, let him go, fight his own war Let him impress daddy that way No more blood for oil, we got our own battles to fight on our own soil No more psychological warfare, to trick us to thinking that we ain't loyal If we don't serve our own country, we're patronizing a hero Look in his eyes its all lies The stars and stripes, they've been swiped, washed out and wiped And replaced with his own face, Mosh now or die If I get sniped tonight you know why, Cause I told you to fight.

And as we proceed, To Mosh through this desert storm, In these closing statements, if they should argue Let us beg to differ As we set aside our differences And assemble our own army To disarm this Weapon of Mass Destruction That we call our President, for the present And Mosh for the future of our next generation To speak and be heard Mr. President, Mr. Senator Do you guy's hear us...hear us...

I'm pretty open minded and always game for new experiences. I always have and always will enjoy going to the theater, camping, knitting, the arts in general, out doors, fine dinning, traveling, hittin' the lounges with my dogs for a great night of dancin' and drinkin' and so much more...
One of the best experiences in my life was when I took a solo road trip earlier last year to Nashville, Memphis, Little Rock and Branson. The open road, my ipod, amazing history (Civil Rights Museum is in the St. Lorraine hotel and the building, kept as it was, in which the shooter stood, is a must see.), the best peach cobbler I ever had (Little Rock) and seeing apart of how "real America" lives.

Weird (perahps interesting) facts:

I am on the National Bone Marrow Donor list for anyone in need.

I am listed as an organ donor on my licenses as I want to save as many other lives as possible if I no longer need what I have. In addition, the only reason my God Brother lived as long as he did was because of a much needed kidney donation.

Since 1954, when doctors successfully performed the first human organ transplant, the lives of more than 400,000 people in the United States have been saved by transplantation. It is the leading form of treatment for many forms of end-stage organ failure. With this success, however, has come increasing demand for donated organs. Today, more than 86,000 people are awaiting transplants nationwide and in the US alone, 17 people die EVERY DAY while awaiting an organ.

There's no reason life saving gifts should just rot in the ground! It's not even ashes to ashes and dust to dust anymore, they seal the damn casket in cement!

I'm type O pos which apparently means I'm hot! (who knew!lol)

Favorite Color: Green

Left: You are a hostage in a desert prison camp, overhearing your buddy being tortured in the adjacent room, knowing you're next.

Center: You are a four-year-old boy at a new, "realistic" dinosaur theme park, getting a lick on the head from a 50-foot-long mechanical brontosaurus.

Right: You are a heroin addict begging your dealer to give you a fix, promising you'll pay him later, really.

Dear Mr. President / Come take a walk with me / Let's pretend we're just two people and / You're not better than me / I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestlyWhat do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street / Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep / What do you feel when you look in the mirror / Are you proudHow do you sleep while the rest of us cry / How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye / How do you walk with your head held high / Can you even look me in the eye / And tell me whyDear Mr. President / Were you a lonely boy / Are you a lonely boy / Are you a lonely boy / How can you say / No child is left behind / We're not dumb and we're not blind / They're all sitting in your cells / While you pave the road to hellWhat kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away / And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay / I can only imagine what the first lady has to say / You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaineHow do you sleep while the rest of us cry / How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye / How do you walk with your head held high / Can you even look me in the eyeLet me tell you bout hard work / Minimum wage with a baby on the way / Let me tell you bout hard work / Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away / Let me tell you bout hard work / Building a bed out of a cardboard box / Let me tell you bout hard work / Hard work / Hard work / You don't know nothing bout hard work / Hard work / Hard work / OhHow do you sleep at night / How do you walk with your head held high / Dear Mr. President / You'd never take a walk with me / Would you

Movies:

There are too many...I love non-mainstream Indie films. Doctor Zhivago is one of my all time favorites! I have a NEW favorite: Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, it's beyond AWESOME!
A Love Song for Bobby Long, Gone With The Wind, High Society, Love Actually, Crash.

V for Vendetta is one of my all time favorites. I love everything about that film. The power people could have over the government if we would all unite together for the common good! PEOPLE SHOULD NOT FEAR THEIR GOVERNMENT! THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD FEAR THE PEOPLE!!!!! (they work for us, lets get it straight!)Paul Newman is the sexiest man ever!When I was little and home sick from school, I'd always ask my mom to get Splash for me from Blockbuster...

Television:

I watch a lot of Discovery channel, A&E, History channel, National Geographic and the Biography channel. Grey's Anatomy is the only show that makes me go crazy!.

I love Real Time with Bill Maher and whatever else I find interesting which oddly enough usually has something to do with crime or murders (lots of Court TV and Cold Cases)..., I find it all so fascinating.

Love Rob & Big & The Two Corey's! Run's House and Intervention (there are more, but can't think now)

Seinfeld and Arrested Development were the best shows to ever hit the TV screen!!!!!

Every gangbanger should read this book!

Heroes:

Larry Gibson - one of the last hold outs against the huge coal company, Massey Coal Company in the Appalachian Mountains of West Virgina. Thus far a cottage of his has been burned to the ground, one dog killed and numerous shootings at his home, which has been in his family for over 10 generations. All this because apparently he has a gold mine of coal under his property and they want him out.

Augusten Burroughs- I admire all individulas who grow up in a very dysfunctional family and who turn that into strength. Or at least say FUCK it, and live for themself. Augusten probably doesn't think he's a strong person, but dude, you're still alive, you're in love, you're a successful writer, you're pretty damn strong! And what's more, he's one of the most honest human beings I know of.

Grey Nickels- established the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement; signed by 212 mayors representing 43 million Americans, the initiative commits each city to following Kyoto guidelines by reducing greenhouse-gas emissions to pre-1990 levels. He said, F Bush, if the President and Federal government wont sign Kyoto, I will!!!
