She makes me crazy She makes me smile Gonna let her have my heart For a while
She's got me dreaming 'bout what could be Something in her touch Brings out the best of me
Could this be love Too soon to say Maybe just friends, I don't know, either way I want this to be
CHORUS: A sacred moment in her life Guard her heart and treat her right There may come a day When she's someone else's wife If she's not mine to have and hold May this time we share be known as A sacred moment
She keeps me praying Lead me Lord Don't wanna say and do things I'll be sorry for God show the way To live out Your love Strengthen her faith, be a man she can trust I want this to be
CHORUS
Till the true love of my life takes my name Whoever's hand I get to hold My prayer will be the same
There is a high possibility that my life is having a possible overload.

Thanatopsis
by William Cullen Bryant
To him who in the love of Nature holds Communion with her visible forms, she speaks A various language; for his gayer hours She has a voice of gladness, and a smile And eloquence of beauty, and she glides Into his darker musings, with a mild And gentle sympathy, that steals away Their sharpness, ere he is aware. When thoughts Of the last bitter hour come like a blight Over thy spirit, and sad images Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall, And breathless darkness, and the narrow house, Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart;-- Go forth under the open sky, and list To Nature's teachings, while from all around-- Earth and her waters, and the depths of air,-- Comes a still voice--Yet a few days, and thee The all-beholding sun shall see no more In all his course; nor yet in the cold ground, Where thy pale form was laid, with many tears, Nor in the embrace of ocean shall exist Thy image. Earth, that hourished thee, shall claim Thy growth, to be resolv'd to earth again; And, lost each human trace, surrend'ring up Thine individual being, shalt thou go To mix forever with the elements, To be a brother to th' insensible rock And to the sluggish clod, which the rude swain Turns with his share, and treads upon. The oak Shall send his roots abroad, and pierce thy mould. Yet not to thy eternal resting place Shalt thou retire alone--nor couldst thou wish Couch more magnificent. Thou shalt lie down , With patriarchs of the infant world--with kings The powerful of the earth--the wise, the good, Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past, All in one mighty sepulchre.--The hills Rock-ribb'd and ancient as the sun,--the vales Stretching in pensive quietness between; The vernal woods--rivers that move In majesty, and the complaining brooks That make the meadows green; and pour'd round all, Old ocean's grey and melancholy waste,-- Are but the solemn decorations all Of the great tomb of man. The golden sun, The planets, all the infinite host of heaven, Are shining on the sad abodes of death, Through the still lapse of ages. All that tread The globe are but a handful to the tribes That slumber in its bosom.--Take the wings Of morning--and the Barcan desert pierce, Or lost thyself in the continuous woods Where rolls the Oregan, and hears no sound, Save his own dashings--yet--the dead are there, And millions in those solitudes, since first The flight of years began, have laid them down In their last sleep--the dead reign there alone.-- So shalt thou rest--and what if thou shalt fall Unnoticed by the living--and no friend Take note of thy departure? All that breathe Will share thy destiny. The gay will laugh, When thou art gone, the solemn brood of care Plod on, and each one as before will chase His favourite phantom; yet all these shall leave Their mirth and their employments, and shall come, And make their bed with thee. As the long train Of ages glide away, the sons of men, The youth in life's green spring, and he who goes In the full strength of years, matron, and maid, The bow'd with age, the infant in the smiles And beauty of its innocent age cut off,-- Shall one by one be gathered to thy side, By those, who in their turn shall follow them. So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan, that moves To the pale realms of shade, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but sustain'd and sooth'd By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave, Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams. ~1814~

Concerns about Dangers from Swine Flu Vaccine Grow
(NaturalNews) Concerns about the safety of the H1N1 vaccine continue to grow as the government rushes to bring the vaccine to market. The FDA usually requires rigorous testing of any new drug, but concerns about the H1N1 pandemic has sped the vaccine through the channels without the same clinical testing as other vaccines. Even health care workers are concerned, as they are the first ones to receive the swine flu vaccine and will, in effect, be human guinea pigs.
A Health Workers March on Albany has been scheduled to protest the mandatory swine flu vaccination of nurses; it was reported in Newsday. Many face the loss of their jobs if they refuse the vaccination.
Mercury poisoning is one of the concerns about any vaccination, but in recent years the additive, thimerosal, which contains mercury, has been removed from most vaccines. However, the H1N1 flu shot still contains a high level of mercury and this alone is a concern for children, pregnant women, and the elderly -- the very populations who are being encouraged to take the swine flu shot.
Squalene is another additive used in vaccines that is a concern. Squalene was an additive in the vaccine given to Gulf War soldiers and is now known to be one of the causes of Gulf War Syndrome. Even the government, who approved the use of squalene in the vaccines, has admitted that it was one of the causes of the vets' illness.
Side-effects from the H1N1 flu shot are another concern. The vaccine for the Avian flu caused a rare neurological disorder, Guillain-Barre syndrome and death.
One third of health care professionals are refusing to take the H1N1 vaccine, according to polls in both the US and England. Another third is unsure, leaving only one third of the health care professionals supporting the H1N1 vaccine. President Obama has stated that the H1N1 vaccine will be voluntary, but companies and hospitals are acting otherwise, and against the interests of their employees and medical staff.
Both Ireland and Greece have said that they will fine and imprison those who refuse to be vaccinated.
A recent article in Reuters reported that "adverse event reports" are expected by the public health departments after the swine flu vaccine is administered, including one million heart attacks, 700,000 strokes and 900,000 miscarriages.
The FDA is charged with protecting the American people from unsafe drugs. Their intention to speed the swine flu vaccine into production has caused concern about the safety of the new drug. Until these questions are addressed, the health benefits of the swine flu vaccine remain under suspicion.
Traditional Plant Medicine Could Cure H1N1 Flu Virus, Chinese Scientists Find
(NaturalNews) The government's pro-vaccine push and the mainstream media's near hysteria over the increased number of H1N1 (swine flu) cases can leave some people feeling almost helpless. After all, there are reports that anti-virus drugs like Tamiflu don't always work (and are known to have horrendous side effects), and no one can truly say the barely-tested flu vaccine has in any way been proven safe or effective. But what is overlooked by mainstream news and most of the medical community is that a host of natural therapies exist that can help the body fight off infections. And now Chinese scientists have documented that an ancient plant remedy for flu appears to offer a knock-out punch to the dreaded H1N1 virus.
Researchers from Kaohsiung Medical University and the China Medical University have analyzed the roots of a plant called Ferula assa-foetida (F. assa-foetida, for short) because it was used a century ago as a traditional medicine to fight the great 1918 Spanish influenza outbreak -- that pandemic killed between 20 to 100 million people. There were reports the traditional plant medicine was effective but no one had documented the plant's antiviral compounds, until now.
More powerful than prescription antiviral drugs
In a study published in the September 25th issue of the American Chemical Society's (ACS) Journal of Natural Product, scientists Fang-Rong Chang and Yang-Chang Wu reveal that in lab experiments Ferula assa-foetida exhibits a remarkable ability to kill the H1N1 swine flu virus.
In their study, Chang and Wu identified a group of chemical compounds in extracts of the plant that turned out to be far more potent against influenza A (H1N1) than a prescription antiviral drug available for the flu. "A standardized plant extract of F. assa-foetida, a species that has been used to treat influenza for many years, may also be worthy of being further investigated as a new phytomedicine," the authors write.
The scientists also noted that the roots of F. assa-foetida have been used for centuries in folk medicine as a natural anti-cancer treatment, antibiotic, diuretic, antispasmodic treatment and more. The plant, which grows mainly in Iran, Afghanistan and mainland China, reportedly tastes much like onions when it is cooked. When raw, the sap of the Ferula assa-foetida has such a bad smell that sometimes it is called the "Dung of the Devil" plant.
Influenza virus vaccine works by exposing you to a small dose of the virus, which helps your body to develop immunity to the disease. Influenza virus vaccine will not treat an active infection that has already developed in the body.
...
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before receiving this vaccine?
Do not receive this vaccine if you have ever had an allergic reaction to a flu vaccine, or if you have:
an active or uncontrolled neurologic disorder(such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, or epilepsy);
All are potentially fatal. Some we have limited treatment for. There are even some we have little or none for. Yet you never hear of hysteria in the news telling us we are all going to die from our bunny rabbits or polo ponies. I am fairly certain you would hear some big stink raised if you were to tell the population to begin getting rid of all their pets.

Lastly, I'd just like to vent somethin' here. I am an adult. I am a person. My body is my own and God's business. My conviction thereof are my concern. Yours are your own. Let us keep our proper focus. I am fine with your news program pushing the world to get a vaccine, but the very second you make it mandatory, my name needs to be on the contentious objector lists. If you are sold on conventional medications, bully for you, but I believe we are creating as many diseases as we treat. If you are pumped on pumping your body full of drugs and synthesized concoctions, more power to you, but I am persuaded that God gave us the ability to make medicines and doctor ourselves with nature and diet. And don't get me wrong either, I am not completely against doctors and medicine. If I were, I would never have met Rama. And where would my life be with out him? I am in complete awe of what God has allowed us to discover in the medical field. But again... the issue is... stop pushing me to be... what I am not...
And, No, you don't have to tell me that there are, maybe, eight to ten people in the world that are even remotely sympathetic with my point of view.
But, please, do me the courtesy of not belittling me or my standards.
I am twenty five years old. I make every decision regarding my life and future. I take everything to prayer. I seek wise counsel and go to an advisor if I find my level of experience is insufficient. This is what makes an adult... AN ADULT.
I am not planning on getting the flu shot in the near or distant future. I am not planning on going on a preventive antibiotic. And, I am certainly not planning on either, one: stopping current very necessary prescriptions to insure no drug interactions while on said antibiotic, nor am I, Two: planning on travelling fourteen hours to my doctor every three days to monitor for drug interaction. I am not planning on changing any of my other current medical precautions that I always take while I am in this hotbed of hypochondria and bacterium. Even without the hype that is out and about now, I am on a way more exhaustive regime of preventive diet, vitamins and minerals than most people even remember anymore, if they ever knew existed in the first place.
Besides, I figure dying is easier, faster, less trouble and way more fun.
I started this blog for the sole purpose of copywriting all of my pictures. However there is no guarantee that I won't vent now and then.
If you take my pictures I would ask that you let me know, And please don't publish without my express permission.
