Redwoodpecker @ MindSay

Thanks to Redwoodpecker for the recommendation. I finally have Noein (English subtitles by Shinsen-subs). I'm just wondering though, is there an English dub for this like they have in YouTube?


Next in the list of recommended anime's to watch: Karas (recommended by Makenzero).


:: Current Mood: rested & awake

(Sorry Arron, I couldn't help myself  with that subject line.)
Just a note, a repost if you will,  regarding a comment I made to....
redwoodpecker ,    
Some people will just never know the pleasure of understanding  you.
You never fear being vulgar, only boring. You care about stuff, even
 though most people don't and you make me wish I was a better person.
 I could never see you intentionally doing a bad thing, your just very vocal in your opinions.
 All in all,  you are one of those really good people a true patriot. Was that enough butter?

What most Americans don't seem to understand is how fleeting
and rare freedom actually has been throughout history.
Is it that nothing lasts forever in this world ?
I ask each of you.  At what point of this seemingly downward
spiral into a totalitarian state will you be willing to take up
 arms to defend liberty against domestic tyrants.

What will you tell your children when the long dark night of
state tyranny descends upon America? Will you tell them the
truth? Or will you pretend to them that you did not know?
Tell me all of this has just a bad dream, tomorrow it will be better.


Many have asked or said what can I do I'm, only one person...
As we grow up, we notice things.
Jealousy, greed, suffering, death, life...
We ask ourselves, "can we change what we see?"
The things I see, am I going to remember them forever?

Is our world going to be like this throughout my whole lifetime?
Will my kids be a part of the problems going on?

What can I actually do? Should I ignore it?
Who can actually change anything?


 I'm feeling awfully pessimistic. I feel like damaging my old
pictures, my thoughts, my memories by taking  and shredding them,
until I could piece them back together to spell the words
"Nothing I planned has happened."
I feel like crying.
I'm at a point where I feel like I should drop every
expectation I have on myself, others, my life, the future.
I'm sick of having them be failed.

 What do you care about in life? Is it your low paying job,
 your paint brushes and canvases, or is it the person you
wake up next to every morning?
 I always see things changing, and I know sooner or later
 some things have to be accepted.
But then again I think I could always make a difference.


Most people don't realize that the role of government has always
been to be that of servant to the people, not the master.
 Such as it was, such as it could become again.
If we make things happen, we can take our country back,
To begin to try to make things better.

Knowing that the longest journey begins with the first step.
UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.  
One must learn to stay focused, and to try your best,  that is all anyone can ever be asked to do.


 Life is all about having to make changes,
taking the moment and making the best of it,
without knowing what is going to happen next.
Look forward to take on the challenges,
not because they are easy, but knowing that they may be hard.

At least one can try there best to make things better.
Get mad when people say everythings going to be okay because
sometimes it's not. I can tell you this, that you can't wait
for life to happen you, you have to bring about change in your life.



Yes, sometimes we can be our own worst enemy,
by not learning from the mistakes of others.
 You will never live long enough to make them all yourself.
 For those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.
 

 When we give our most valuable gift of our lives,our time,
 that gift may be left unstoried, yet prized the most valued.
 By simply doing, trying, something large and magnificent can happen.

Life is not always going to meet your expectations but that
does not mean you should give up on it. You have the potential
to be so so happy. it is up to you to decide how happy you
will allow yourself to be.

The only person who can make the change in you is you,
and the only guides you have is your heart and mind.
If I wait for my life to happen, it never comes.
 In your life, bring change. In your friendships, bring growth.
 Reshape the world around you. Be creation's hand.

Within each of us resides a separate world,
Only you can decide what it is you must do.
 The time will come when you see we're all one and part of everything.

Why is it that when I was young, I never fully understood any of this?


 Tell me all thats been going on is just a bad dream,
 tomorrow it will be better...tell me that, better yet make it happen.

 

I understand that redwoodpecker made some pretty rude and totally inappropriate comments about some friends of mine.  Who all happen to be women.

My first response is to label him a dullard and a scoundrel for such ungentlemanly behavior; that someone that has to resort to crude observations about the female genitalia and school yard name calling doesn't deserve the title of "Intelligence" God has granted us.  Yes I agree with semiomniscient when he proclaims that a person would not do such an act in front of males associated with such fine women, or get his "clock" cleaned by such males. And in this, I am speaking not just of Husbands or Brothers, but of long time friends that happen to have a long history of street and school yard fighting to back up such claims...and doesn't, unlike the ladies in question, fight fair. 

However I will not go with this first response.  In fact, it is my conclusion that the ultimate revenge to heap on one so removed of morals or manners of any sort is to do what the bible tells us to do: Let God take care of the revenge. Instead we should pray for him. Ask God to cut through that hard coating he has over his heart, to make him see how offensive and vulgar he really is..to show him the realities of his bleak existence.  Not to drive him from Christ but to bring him closer; showing him that which he is fighting is really the ultimate answer to the pain and sorrow he is feeling in his life.  Wouldn't be the ultimate revenge to see him come to know Christ in a new and loving way? To have his ideas of how life works blown away like so much dust in the wind...  This is my prayer, that God touches redwoodpecker and let him see the errors of his way. Even Jesus asked forgiveness of the people that killed him on the cross as he died with all our sins heaped on him...how can we do any less?

So redwoodpecker may be a man of uncouth origin and unoriginal thinking, but he is still a man God loves...even if redwoodpecker decries such a thought. 

Pray with expectation about the woodpecker; for with expectation comes true miracles.

Don't we learn in kindergarten that "calling each other names is rude?"  Apparently redwoodpecker  didn't get the memo.  Seriously, don't we get over calling females "cunts" after highschool? (see revcath's most recent blog).  And since when did we ever verbally abuse somebody else's wife or mother?   Isn't that how kids get their butts kicked by other kids in school?  No redwoodpecker, I'm not threatening you with physical violence... get over yourself.  But I am letting you know that if you actually speak to women like that beyond the safety of your computer chair, I wouldn't do it in the presence of their husbands or sons--you're likely to find a rude awakening in concepts of "how to speak to a lady."  And bytheway, men and women are not the same--it's nothing to do with inferiority, but men are to treat women differently than men.  But I wouldn't recommend calling a man a "cunt" to his face either.  But it's probably less detrimental to yourself than saying such to his wife.  I don't care if the woman you're talking to believes that Puff the Magic Dragon visited her while she was sitting on the john and revelated to her the mysteries of Googoocluster icecream--you will get no where with anything you have to say, not only with her but anyone else if you preface your message with, "You are such a cunt," or "You piece of shit-trash,"  or whatever other insult you choose to use.

You pick of all women, Revcath and Sandyquill to say things like that to?  Beyond the fact, that I'm sure you've spoken unnecessarily harshly to other women, these two women are prime examples of politeness and tact--while not compromising what they believe.  If you don't care (which I'm sure you don't) about what other people think of you--and will say whatever vulgarities you wish along with your painfully ignorant messages, what's the point in blogging?  Do you do it to annoy others?  Or are you actually trying to send a message out there?  If you are trying to send a message, do it more effectively.  I promise, from a vast experience of discussions with people who ideologically disagree with me, that politeness is a far better way to get out a message.  And if you think that Christians are utterly incapable of receiving your message having their minds already made up, why do you waste your time with us?  Is it really that you are trying to be annoying for kicks and giggles?  If it is, then I'd just like to ask you why?

*Edit: oooo I think I've been blocked from redwoodpecker's blog... how amusing.
