yesterday...  for some reason just felt  like the beginning of a new chapter of  my life...<br />
<br />
...perhaps it was merely being awakened  by the radiant sunlight slipping  betweet the blinds...<br />
<br />
...perhaps it was driving thorugh the  perfectly cloudless day with the window  down, enjoying the scent of recent  rain...<br />
<br />
...or perhaps it was something more  than that... something bigger...  something deeper.<br />
<br />
well, i haven't yet figured it out, so  i'll leave it to your imaginations.   you may even want to take a guess,  yeah, that'll be fun.  okay, so <b>guess  already</b>!!!<br><br><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shamrock.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":shamrock:" title="St. Patricks Day!" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ as a few of you may know, i have had  some very unfortunate dealings with a  particular individual.  among many  other things, she circulated a great  deal of lies to many people i know, and  didn't even have the sand to come and  deal with her real problems with me.   most of these people still believe  these things, as it was never brought  to light that these things were indeed  untrue, primarily because she still  believes some of it.  but thats okay, i  can deal with all that, and i have.<br />
   but what really hurts is the fact  that i found out that someone very  close to me was the source of many of  these aforementioned lies, and that  cuts deep.  and once the damage had  been done, they couldn't even fess up  to me or anyone about it, they just let  the lies keep going and ruin peoples'  thinking of me, because she "was afriad  i'd be mad".  well hell yeah. im mad!   but oh well, whats done is done i  suppose.  we can only learn and move on. ]]></description>

So as I become  more and more conscious, I realize my  kitten <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/view/3322321/">[link]</a> is standing on my face,  with crap on her paw, and she's chewing  on my eyelash and eyelid.  Just her  little way of saying goodmorning I  guess.  Jeez, I'm a sound sleeper. ]]></description>

alright, so has anyone heard about the latest issue here in texas.   well i have and it's really pissing me off.<br>
<br>
well, our state government is at a standstill currently because all the  democrats  but four in our state legislature have decided to run away  and hide in oklahoma.<br>
<br>
apparently, they're not happy with a redistricting bill the rebublicans  are pushing right now which they feel is unfair. so they have sworn to  stay in oklahoma untill the bill dies.  <br>
<br>
this is of course illegal and more importantly immorral.  they were  nearing the end of a limited session, in which they still have to make  decisions on a 10 billion dollar state defacit and educational issues  among many important others.  if the governor, rick perry, has to call  a special session when the democrats get back, it will cost the state,  and its tax payers,  millions of dollars, which it obviously doesn't  have.<br>
<br>
personally i find this highly selfish and immature.  they are throwing  a temper tantrum because they didn't feel thinngs were going to go  there way, while millions of tax dollars, and throngs of people in need  are at stake.  granted, the republican proposal might not have been the  fairest ever made, but while the democratic party had majority over the  republicans, which was better than a decade, the republicans never  pulled a stunt like this.  not anything that would hurt texas citizens  this much.  they have always stood and fought what they felt was  unfair, never did they run and hide from any issue.<br>
<br>
if the democrats had stayed within texas jurisdiction, they would have  been arrested for intentionally thwarting a quorum.  however, since  they are not, the FBI is being considered to apprehend the missing  lawmakers.<br>
<br>
in my opinion, they should serve jail time.  although, through this  irrational tactic, i beleive they have revealed to texans their true  motives and intentions, and have probably lost the support, trust and  respect of the majority of the population.<br>

                <description><![CDATA[ alright, so has anyone heard about the latest issue here in texas.   well i have and it's really pissing me off.<br>
<br>
well, our state government is at a standstill currently because all the  democrats  but four in our state legislature have decided to run away  and hide in oklahoma.<br>
<br>
apparently, they're not happy with a redistricting bill the rebublicans  are pushing right now which they feel is unfair. so they have sworn to  stay in oklahoma untill the bill dies.  <br>
<br>
this is of course illegal and more importantly immorral.  they were  nearing the end of a limited session, in which they still have to make  decisions on a 10 billion dollar state defacit and educational issues  among many important others.  if the governor, rick perry, has to call  a special session when the democrats get back, it will cost the state,  and its tax payers,  millions of dollars, which it obviously doesn't  have.<br>
<br>
personally i find this highly selfish and immature.  they are throwing  a temper tantrum because they didn't feel thinngs were going to go  there way, while millions of tax dollars, and throngs of people in need  are at stake.  granted, the republican proposal might not have been the  fairest ever made, but during the democratic party had majority over  the republicans, which was better than a decade, the republicans never  pulled a stunt like this.  not anything that would hurt texas citizens  this much.  they have always stood and fought what they felt was  unfair, never did they run and hide from any issue.<br>
<br>
if the democrats had stayed within texas jurisdiction, they would have  been arrested for intentionally thwarting a quorum.  however, since  they are not, the FBI is being considered to apprehend the missing  lawmakers.<br>
<br>
in my opinion, they should serve jail time.  although, through this  irrational tactic, i beleive they have revealed to texans their true  motives and intentions, and have probably lost the support, trust and  respect of the majority of the population.<br>

                <description><![CDATA[ ok, so im taking this poll.  so <b>i NEED responses</b>, pleeeeease.<br>
<br>
righto, so i just started playing drums for this new band we're  forming.  we play primarily intelligent metal / progressive rock.   pretty complex stuff.  now, heres the question.  we've toyed around  with some names for the band and they've pretty much settled on <b>"Dead  Air"</b>. i wanna know if you think this is a decent name, if it seems to  fit our type of band, if its completely gay, etc.  or if you have any  better suggestions, i would love to hear those.<br>
<br>
thanks guys! ]]></description>

DOESN'T IT  SUCK?!  yeah i just did, and im not happy about it.  although, i guess  i can't complain.  i had a teacher in high school who was screaming at  the class and waving around a stack of papers and <b>PAPERCUT HER CORNIA!!!</b>   (yes, the cornia is in your eyeball, kids)  now that had to have  sucked.  i laughed profusely at her though, because i'm a nice guy like  that.  i think somebody should papercut saddam's eyeball.  yeah. ]]></description>
