I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes
And make it go away!

How long?
How long must we sing this song?
How long?? How long??

'Cause tonight, we can be as one
Tonight

Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street!
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall!

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday


Because I couldn't lead with lyrics and leave this one out. I know it's meant for a specific place and time, but it's really sad that it can apply to so many of the things going on in the world today. Reading the news is depressing, but I can't turn away. I can't pretend it doesn't exist. I can't ignore the pain and suffering of others, even if they're far away, I can't speak their language, and they'll never know I'm thinking of them.

A friend of mine went to Thailand in December and was kind enough to bring back tiny brass icons for his friends. I picked one at random and got the Abhaya Mudra Buddha, which means his hands are positioned in the gesture of fearlessness. Neat.

One of my fav songs of all time.
And the news is tough- there is SO MUCH bad ALL THE TIME that it can put one in a serious funk.
I find it interesting that I can go for days w/out seeing/hearing any news, and yet still feel immediately in touch whenever i do. Comes from always expecting the worst of people, I suppose.

And yes, it is actually called the Battle of Cowpens.
The cowpens was a place in South Carolina, that all the locals would drive their livestock to consolidating herds before driving them to market in Charleston. Kind of an open area, well known to everyone in the neighbourhood. neat place.

You're right man the news can be a total downer and we don't see enough of the positives in our city and country in news coverage.

Try finding local news networks, rogers may suck but at least its not 24hour homicide coverage.

edited to add
Our school produces a weekly magazine style show called the journal that's webcast. We'll make you laugh biggrin
