Nina Simone Saves The Day

Always helps to find a song that really speaks to you, doesn't it? And it's only one line out of one song that just stands out to me.

"I'm just a soul whose intentions are good;
oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood."

Cliche? Possibly. Maybe it's the music of the song that makes it for me. Makes me feel like I'm not the only one sort of begging this in my mind, hoping people will look past the differences between them and I. Acceptance isn't necessarily vital to me, but I must admit it would be nice not to worry about what might happen when I'm alone in public, or if those whispers are about me. Ah well, at least I have my friends for support. I don't know what I'd do without them. And I've got God, who is my best friend (creepy, maybe. Devout, absolutely hahah) And of course I have Oasis. Which by the way, holy shite really helps, glad I found it :)

L'chaim! Haha

Oh and here's a link if you care to listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv2valQkzAs

despite having gone to church for my15 years of existnce, i never understood how what people mena when they say they are friends with God. i never felt anything of the sort hah...

not trying to say that the poepl who say tht are tricking themselves or making it up, i just always scracth my head and think"i wonder what that feels like?"

"A loving man and woman in a committed relationship can marry. Dogs, no matter what their relationship, are not allowed to marry. How should society treat gays and lesbians in committed relationships? As dogs or as humans?"

I can understand what you

I can understand what you mean. It's not necessarily a 24/7 sort of feeling, if that makes any sense :p. For me my "friendship" with god is a feeling is security and trust. Kinda like one of those friends you can like anything to, if that makes any sense hahah.

Hmmm....

Do you think this clearly when awake?

3:41am!

Or... are you pre-arming yourself for the impending regular Saturday morning onslaught of the incomprehensible? :)
