We know you’re probably very upset. Please leave your condolences in the comments section for this well loved star. Rest in peace Kermit.

Did anyone else know Miss Piggy was brown?

just saw the new star trek.

FUCKING AWESOME

I was a little hesitant that they wouldn’t be able pull off the time travel alternate reality like they failed to on enterprise. thank god for jj abrams.

The cast was incredible as well. I have to say that I thought chris pine and anton yelchin were my favorites though. I mean not that zachary quinto did a bad job. and I really loved the love interest between spock and uhura. that was great!! it’s just I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for chekov. and the new kirk is just fucking hot!!

So back to the time travel thing. I thought they writers did a really good job in creating a new universe to be explored. I’m not sure how I feel about vulcan. I mean I’m really sad. They played such a huge role in the formation of the federation and now they won’t be there. There’s so much that history there that’s lost now. I’m really excited to see the next movie and see where they take the stories of this crew. I’m glad that the time travel was just a tool and not the main point of the story. All in all one of the best trek movies I’ve ever seen. There were a few lines that pandered to the hard core trekkies which I really enjoyed. The scene with the computer not recognizing Chekov’s voice, that was hilarious!!

great movie, great cast. great jj abrams. I’m definitely going to see it at least a dozen times in the theater. if you haven’t seen it yet. why not?? go see it now!

it’s dawn

it’s always dawn on this road

I walk to the east

hoping to catch a glimpse

    of the sun

    of the light

but it never rises

it never sets

it’s always dawn

hope for a new day

that never comes

the flowers yearn to open

and welcome the day

it’s always dawn

so I walk along on this road

never ending

never changing

dawn is all I know

a light in the woods

    catches my eye

the nymphs and fawns

    frolic and dance

dancing in glee

for they see the sun

just there

    on the horizon

so I leave this trodden road

eager to dance

    to live

        to be free

free from this ever present

   ever crushing

        dark of dawn

I glimpse the sun

    I feel the warmth

       I see the light

I dance!

two left feet and I fall

no more I see the sun

    no more it’s warmth

        no more the light

the dawn is all I see

and so the road beckons my return

I know this road

I know this dawn

a darkness that I have been part of for oh so long

the darkness that I have

will keep the light at bay

    will keep the warmth away

and so I return

   to the road that entraps

it’s always dawn

walking

    wandering

wishing I could leave

praying I could just stop my feet

but the sun never comes

the light never shines

the darkness of dawn

    binds my fee to this path

    binds my soul to this road

and so I yearn for the road

I wait for the dark

hoping for night to come

    to finally come

and end this waiting

    waiting for the light

This one really bought a tear to my eye……very moving.

A father watched his young daughter playing in the garden.

He smiled as he reflected on how sweet and pure his little girl was.

Tears formed in his eyes as he thought about her seeing the wonders of nature through such innocent eyes. 

Suddenly  she just stopped and stared at the  ground.

He went over to her to see what work of God had captured her attention. 

He noticed she was looking at two spiders mating.

‘Daddy, what are those two spiders doing?’ she asked.

‘They’re mating,’ her father replied.

‘What do you call the spider on top?’ she asked.

‘That’s a Daddy Longlegs,’ her father answered.

‘So, the other one is a Mommy Longlegs?’ the little girl asked.

As his heart soared with the joy of such a cute and innocent question he replied,  ‘No dear.  Both of them are Daddy Longlegs.’

‘The  little girl, looking a little puzzled, thought for a moment, then lifted
her foot and stomped them flat.

‘Well, we’re not having any of that gay shit in our garden’ she said.

Clay Balls

A man was exploring caves by the Seashore.  In one of the caves he found a canvas bag with a bunch of hardened clay balls.  It was like someone had rolled clay balls and left them out in the sun to bake. They didn’t look like much, but they intrigued the man, so he took the bag out of the cave with him.  As he strolled along the beach, he would throw the clay balls one at a time out into the ocean as far as he could.

He thought little about it, until he dropped one of the clay balls and it cracked open on a rock .  Inside was a beautiful, precious stone!

Excited, the man started breaking open the remaining clay balls.  Each contained a similar treasure.  He found thousands of dollars worth of jewels in the 20 or so clay balls he had left.

Then it struck him. He had been on the beach a long time. He had thrown maybe 50 or 60 of the clay balls with their hidden treasure into the ocean waves.  Instead of thousands of dollars in treasure, he could have taken home tens of thousands, but he had just thrown it away!

It’s like that with people.  We look at someone, maybe even ourselves, and we see the external clay vessel.  It doesn’t look like much from the outside.  It isn’t always beautiful or sparkling, so we discount it.

We see that person as less important than someone more beautiful or stylish or well known or wealthy.  But we have not taken the time to find the treasure hidden inside that person.

There is a treasure in each and every one of us.  If we take the time to get to know that person, and if we ask God to show us that person the way He sees them, then the clay begins to peel away and the brilliant gem begins to shine forth.

May we not come to the end of our lives and find out that we have thrown away a fortune in friendships because the gems were hidden in bits of clay. May we see the people in our world as God sees them.

I am so blessed by the gems of friendship I have with you.  Thank you for looking beyond my clay vessel.

APPRECIATE EVERY SINGLE

THING YOU HAVE, ESPECIALLY YOUR FRIENDS!

LIFE IS TOO SHORT AND FRIENDS ARE TOO FEW!

Pass this on to another Clay Ball!!!

Do not ask the Lord to Guide your Footsteps if you are not willing to MOVE your Feet’
