"For the life of me I cannot remember what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise. For the life of me I did not believe we'd ever die for these sins, we were merely freshmen." ~ The Verve Pipe "Freshmen" ~ Brett Cohick - 10/16/01 ~ ~ Davin"Bug"Ward - 10/16/01 ~ ~ Ryan Holmes - 7/23/02 ~ ~ Dylan Liberati - 7/23/02 ~ ~ Jeremey Shields - 10/19/02 ~ ~ Chad Castle - 6/1/03 ~ ~ Jesse Sammons - 8/3/03 ~ ~ Toni Bonnell - 8/3/03 ~ ~ Tatum Route - 8/3/03 ~ ~ Josh Wright - 8/24/03 ~ ~ Brent Jennings - 8/24/03 ~ ~ Jessica Marshall - 8/24/03 ~ ~ Ryan Myers - 10/24/03 ~ Soul Mates
Have you ever felt like you knew someone a long, long time ago?
Another place, another time, a friendship of the souls?
Two people who share a bond for reasons neither know,
A feeling that they were friends, a long, long time ago?
Did they stumble onto each other by pure circumstance,
Or was it fate and destiny that played a certain hand?
Two souls intertwined, they are worlds apart,
But the soul, it knows no difference, in matters of the heart.
Somehow they are drawn together, fate has brought them back,
Each living worlds apart, they journey separate paths.
When this life is over, and a new life begins,
Their souls will find each other, two souls that we call friends.

10 steps to create and enemy and start a war: Listen closely because we will all see this used in our lives. It can be used on a society of the most ignorant to the most highly educated. we need to see their tactics as a weapon against humanity and not as truth. First step: Create the enemy. Sometimes this will be done for you. Second step: be sure the enemy you have chosen is nothing like you. Find obvious differences like race, language, religion, dietary habits fashion. Emphasize that their soldiers are not doing a job, they are heartless murderers who enjoy killing. Third step: Once these differences are established continue to reinforce them with all disseminated information. Fourth step: Have the media broadcast only the ruling party's information this can be done through state run media. Remember, in times of conflict all for-profit media repeats the ruling party's information. Therefore all for-profit media becomes state-run. Fifth step: show this enemy in actions that seem strange, militant, or different. Always portray the enemy as non-human, evil, a killing machine THIS IS HOW TO CREATE AN ENEMY. THIS IS HOW TO START A WAR. THIS IS HOW TO CREATE AN ENEMY. Sixth step: Eliminate opposition to the ruling party. Create an "Us versus Them" mentality. Leave no room for opinions in between. One that does not support all actions of the ruling party should be considered a traitor. Seventh step: Use nationalistic and/or religious symbols and rhetoric to define all actions. This can be achieved by slogans such as "freedom loving people versus those who hate freedom." This can also be achieved by the use of flags. Eighth step: Align all actions with the dominant deity. It is very effective to use terms like, "It is god's will" or "god bless our nation." Ninth step: Design propaganda to show that your soldiers have feelings, hopes, families, and loved ones. Make it clear that your soldiers are doing a duty; they do not want or like to kill. Tenth step: Create and atmosphere of fear, and instability and then offer the ruling party as the only solutions to comfort the public's fears. Remembering the fear of the unknown is always the strongest fear. THIS IS HOW TO CREATE AN ENEMY. THIS IS HOW TO START A WAR. THIS IS HOW TO CREATE AN ENEMY. We are not countries. We are not nations. We are not religions. We are not gods. We are not weapons. We are not ammunition. We are not killers. We will NOT be tools. Mother fuckers I will not die I will not kill I will not be your slave I will not fight your battle I will not die on your battlefield I will not fight for your wealth I am not a fighter I am a human being!!! | wow Wednesday, May 18, 2005 so i just read something that pissed me off. im tempted to get in touch with my long lost big just to tell her ya know what...i am god damn happy with my "new" life thank you very much. I've never been afraid of making mistakes. Ive made a hell of a lot in my life. I just dont care, shit happens, life goes on oh well. Maybe I am a bit too laid back about some things for my own good, but I think thats my own business and if I do end up a big fuck up then thats my problem and its something I'll have to deal with. Its really sad that a friendship had to bite the dust but I now realize that this had nothing to do with Adam, the truth was our personalities just did not mesh. I cant stand being around people who are so fucking high strung. I hate having friends act like parents. I mean looking out for people is fine, but it can go too damn far. My own mother knows Im an adult and is willing to let me make my own mistakes, but my own supposed "best friend" wont let me live my life without freaking out. See the truth is, Tish, you made me miserable from the moment we arrived back at mansfield in January. And you can continue to blame this all on Adam, but you were the real problem the whole time. You can keep telling yourself that I abandon my friends because of my boyfriend, but you were the only one who felt like that in the past two months. And honestly if you were to tell that to people who really know me they'd laugh in your face because they know I'm the last person who would ever do that. I didnt try to save our friendship because of you not because i was afraid of losing my boyfriend Comment! (0) | Recommend! Happy Monday, May 16, 2005 Cuz I got to spend the entire day with adam. We kinda slept through most of the day. but we went out to lunch/dinner with kevin. And it wouldnt matter what the hell we did cuz I'd be more then happy to watch paint dry all day long as long as I was with him...wow, that was really kinda sappy haha...oh but its true so who gives a fuck...the one thing that sucks is I missed him before but now that I got to see him I miss him even more then before...its kinda funny how that works. i was fine until i called him after i got home and then it kinda hit me like a ton of bricks...hopefully i'll see him next week though so...  ...thats me being excited to see my boy again Comment! (0) | Recommend! so long mansfield Thursday, May 5, 2005 YES!! Im finally out of that hell hole for a few months. I never have to deal with a certain persons petty bullshit ever again. You have no idea how happy that makes me. Despite my happiness because one person is never coming back, im gonna miss Kell Bell and mama courtney. Lisa and lawley are leaving this summer too...next semester just might suck major ass... ...my boy will still be here though, yay! truthfully, even though i was a major brat at some points in the past two weeks, he still put up with me bitching about tish. if it wasnt for him the past two weeks would have been ten times worse than what it already was. and that ladies and gentlemen is the reason that if i absolutely had to choose between him and tish i would have chose him without hesitating. and thats not because he's my boyfriend, its because hes been a better friend to me in the relatively short time we've known eachother than she has been in a long ass time. that may be a bit too blunt, but its a good way to end the bullshit and be done with it for good...from now on tish wont be mentioned in good or bad terms. im done. ...anyhow, on a brighter note adam took me home with him last nite and i met the parents...it went well, they both were pretty cool...i see where adam gets certain things now...just kiddin babe. muah Comment! (0) | Recommend! this is how it feels to not believe... Saturday, April 30, 2005 hello world, its been awhile. Good news: I'm still with my awesome boy  , i get to go home for the summer on thursday, yeah buddy!Bad news: people are fucking fucktards, but whats new and different about that afterall...I suppose I can give the 411 because other people decided to make everyone else aware of it... So the sunday we got back from canadia i recieved a jackass phone call from tiny saying adam was cheating on me (not true) other people decided to take care of this problem for me and that pissed adam off. long story short, adam told diana and tish to butt out of our relationship and now tish is pissed at me and hasnt talked to me in a week...like i can control what my boyfriend says and does....sorry i dont make my boyfriend miserable by trying to control everything he does. anyhow...have a lovely life Comment! (0) | Recommend! ...I'll think about last nite, it went right Thursday. 3.24.05 1:01 pm Is the semester over with yet? pleaseeeeeeeeee? Im so sick of this place its not funny. 42 freakin days and I can go home and not back to Canton, hell yeah! Honestly yesturday just sucked ass again. I didnt go to work cause that place sucks ass and I dont think Im going to be there next semester if I can manage to somehow avoid Elizabeth Shaffer...Im sure that'll go over well. And of course meetings that were schedualed were canceled bc people just dont like to show up to things anymore, even when said meetings were for their specific benefit, godddddd. Ive never been so frustrated in my entire life, but something tells me its not going to get any better either... ...but on the other hand theres my baby who continues to be the one thing thats made me smile in the past week. Honestly, he's just too much, last nite instead of being the typical male he actually did come back from the bar for me...and sober ...must be he likes me hogging his bed...righhhhhhtComment! (0) | Recommend! Its supposed to be spring dammit Wednesday. 3.23.05 12:00 am But yet again we'll have another white easter...joy. Speaking of which, im not going home for easter cuz well... I just dont want to. Instead the family line is making dinner on sunday, yay...lets see how horrible this turns out. Other then that nothing news going on, ive been going to class, taking care of sorority stuff, and hanging out with my Adam.Speaking of Sorority stuff, last nite took forever and a day...grr...oh well, it happens.
