BUCK FUSH!... took to the streets of Hollyweird today with a few thousand of my closest friends in one more attempt to bang the peace drum... while it feels like the positive action... the positive choice, I'm not so sure that it does anymore than give those there a chance to pat each other on the back... it seems that the peace/ anti war / anti capitolism movement of the 21st century isn't being heard... it's good to know that I'm not alone at these demonstrations but I'm afraid we may all be alone with each other... the nature of war has changed... the nature of government has changed... perhaps it is time for the nature of protest / civil disobedience to change... while I don't consider myself to be a particularly violent person, it may be time for some more direct "action" on all of our parts... the hard part is persuading folks that some sacrafice is needed... that some comfort & convenience must be left behind... I will continue to believe that there is hope....for all of us
and the girl?... when will I learn to distinguish between lonliness and true need... I do love this girl/woman/goddess... but one of the few things I have become aware of over the last eight years of single life is the value of extending unconditional love to all the people in my life & not trying to reserve that for one particular person... yes I love her... I've loved her through her last three boyfriends... I've loved her when she was distant & sheltering her heart... and I will love her whether or not she chooses to bless me with the gift of her passion...
happy first day of spring
