Today, if you get the feeling that something is being kept from you, you're right. Your usually strong intuition is stronger than ever now, and it's picking up on some seriously mysterious vibes. There is a secret being shared with everyone but you, it seems. But whatever's going on behind closed doors is only good news for you, so don't get too paranoid that things are going to change for the worse. On the contrary, things are about to get really good.
Good morning, 23. On the calendar, you're already here, even though TECHNICALLY, you don't start until 6:25 tonight. I guess that means I'm spending today in the weird 'end of 22/start of 23' limbo, the same one that happens every year during the daytime hours. I'm hoping you're just a little bit better than 22. I'm hoping that having a truly adult age to attach to the question, "how old are you?" (even if I'll ALWAYS act like I'm 7), some adult things will happen. Maybe I'll be comfortable being Emily, whoever she is, and relax a little bit. Maybe I'll keep my promise to not stay in every weekend. Maybe I'll finally get the nerve to meet a guy and pursue something with it. Maybe I'll believe I'm right sometimes, and not back down. Maybe I'll really get to make a difference in somebody's life. There are a lot of maybes floating around right now; I think that's a good thing. So.... Welcome.
the song I WANTED to put here, "Jessie's Song (Optimistic Story)" isn't a track listing, but you can imagine... http://elanaarian.com/listen.html
OK this one's really fresh. It was uploaded a little while ago!!
It's an original song that I put together over the last week or so.
On all of my other videos that contains my original songs, the videos are made up of images, in the style of a slideshow. So this one is a break from that pattern. This is my first Original song video that contains moving images. I wanted the content to reflect the meaning, and I reckon I've managed to achieve that.
The name of the song is "Don't wish it away". It's about those that want the days and years to be over. Maybe it's grief, or impatience. Or maybe something else. The video is centred on things disappearing, and also things going in reverse. There is symbolism in all of this.
Check out my new song:
Here's the regular digest of Youtube food (for me).
I've got 550 subscribers now.
The viewings of my channel are now 11,329, and the overall viewing figures all of my videos are now at 162,129.
I'm mulling over a cover version for my next video. There are three song I want to do. The songs are The excellent song "The air that I breathe" by the Hollies, "Running on faith" by the one and only Eric Clapton or "My father's eyes", also by Eric Clapton.
I am not afraid of terrorism, and I want you to stop being afraid on my behalf. Please start scaling back the official government war on terror. Please replace it with a smaller, more focused anti-terrorist police effort in keeping with the rule of law.
Please stop overreacting. I understand that it will not be possible to stop all terrorist acts.
I accept that. I am not afraid.
Nearly 800,000 people have died in car accidents in the last twenty years. During that time there have been exactly two Islamic terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, with less than 3,000 total fatalities.
That’s more than 200 TIMES as many Americans dying in their cars as at the hands of Islamic terrorism. And yet …
We’ve turned the whole world upside down in response to the two terrorist attacks.
We’ve launched invasions, created vast new bureaucracies, shredded the Bill of Rights, compounded regulations, spent hundreds of billions of dollars, and disrupted travel and commerce. But no one is suggesting that we do 200 times as much to address the driving risk, which is 200 times greater.
Terror warrior's, I am not a pacifist, I just seek a proportional responses to threats. In my life I have learned to accept a possibility of harm that cannot reasonably be prevented.
Be reminded that Terrorism is a strategy used by the weak to goad the strong into self-injurious overreaction.
So please I hope to give this wisdom to our leaders in Washington to stop the consistent overreaction to the threat of terrorism
For I am Not Afraid Best wisdom for all of you and yours in the new year Your pal Mike
love
