How does this make you feel?

This morning, a bubble bath produced this image. I think such an image produces so many emotions. To me, it shows bravery. On the edge of the unknown and the question if "Luckie" is brave enough to do it...

What about you?

Simon Rah, Jedi Hero of the Alliance!

So, after being unceremoniously banned from Age of Conan for doing something I don't remember, I got an email saying I can play Star Wars Galaxies for Free.. so I activated and loaded it up, and actually am enjoying the game. So much so, that apprently Princess Leia thinks I'm a hero.. bahahaha... my Evil Plan is WORKING!!! Muahahahaha.

For those who don't know what Star Wars Galaxies is, its a Big GEEK Game for even Geekier Geeks. And I was first in line.

Random Word Generator via Will Smith!

I was posting a comment on my good friend, the self-admitted Lazy Poster, and just as I was writing the comment, Will Smith interrupted and told me I need to verify who I am... and this is the word he used... Jigie.. hahhahahaha!

America the Beautiful...

On this, our Nation's Birthday, I find myself awake too early for a day off. I heard on TV a poll. It asked a group of people if they thought the Founding Fathers would be proud of how we celebrate our nation on this, it's Birthday. Only 29% said they think the Founding Fathers would be proud. I think they would be shocked and awed, but how can you not be proud of this Nation? From a small settlement in their time, to a mega super power now. We still hold elections, and we try to get the right people into office to support our personal views, but it isn't a perfect process, and we survived. We have the most advanced Space program. Our Military is a force to be reckoned with. You and I have Freedoms that other countries die to have. So why are so many hating us? Is it jealousy? I read a lot on the Internet, and the loudest voice of the Internet hates the U.S. Why? Do they forget the good things this country does? Do they forget the opportunities that get presented to everyone here? Of course they do... we just concentrate on the Bad, the Evil, the Shock Factor. No one cares that there is good still left in this world.

I challenge you... whoever reads this... to be a "Good" and recognize the "Good" in this world, this nation, your community, your home, your marriage... and even in you. You will be a lot happier, and things will become more clear...

Going to finish up with the one song that can sum it all up. Thank you Katherine Lee Bates and Samuel A. Ward for this, a perfect summation of what this country is, will be, and should be:

O beautiful, for spacious skies,

For amber waves of grain,

For purple mountain majesties

Above the fruited plain!

America! America! God shed His grace on thee,

And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.

O beautiful, for pilgrim feet

Whose stern, impassioned stress

A thoroughfare for freedom beat

Across the wilderness!

America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw;

Confirm thy soul in self control, thy liberty in law!

O beautiful, for heroes proved

In liberating strife,

Who more than self their country loved

And mercy more than life!

America! America! May God thy gold refine,

'Til all success be nobleness, and ev'ry gain divine!

O beautiful, for patriot dream

That sees beyond the years,

Thine alabaster cities gleam

Undimmed by human tears!

America! America! God shed His grace on thee,

And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea!

And it continues....
