the long way around

My friends from high school
Married their high school boyfriends
Moved into houses in the same ZIP codes
Where their parents live

But I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow

I hit the highway in a pink RV with stars on the ceiling
Lived like a gypsy
Six strong hands on the steering wheel

I've been a long time gone now
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
But I've always found my way somehow

By taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around

I met the queen of whatever
Drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies
Moved with the shakers
Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to

No I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow

It's been two long years now
Since the top of the world came crashing down
And I'm getting' it back on the road now

But I'm taking the long way
Taking the long way around
I'm taking the long way
Taking the long way around
The long
The long way around

Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
Guess I could have made it easier on myself

But I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow

Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
If you ever want to find me I can still be found

Taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around

Two things today/this morning/night:

1. All those people who go to church and spend every waking moment attempting to please God/Jesus/Allah/higher religious figure. STOP IT. There are things that matter so much more in this world. Instead of praising for yourself through verbal prayer PRAY through action. take care of your neighbor. donate a dollar to charity. make your voice heard. talk to your long lost friend/family member.

STOP LIVING LIFE FOR THE FUTURE. LIVE TODAY. IF THE FUTURE GETS FUCKED UP, YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO FIX IT.

2. if anyone knows a hole i can crawl into and chill, please let me know

Revealing Russia

The latest verbal spat between Putin and Cheney has made me realize something. We are going to blow ourselves up. By "we" I don't mean America. I mean the world (well just the major powers who are the so-called protectors of the world). Putin compared America's current government to a wolf who does not listen. "Comrade wolf knows whom to eat, he eats without listening, and he clearly not going to listen to anyone" said Putin. Obviously, he was commenting on what appears to be the current U.S. foreign policy of pretty much doing whatever the hell we want without regard to the ideas of other nations or the current laws of the world.

Where I began to think that we are going to blow ourselves up, was when Putin made the comment on how Russia "also must make [their] house strong and reliable" with regards to military spending (Russia's is currently 25 times lower than America's). With that idea in mind, Putin and Russia are beginning to bolster their military in order to prevent themselves from being pushed around. If they are successful in doing this it will open an already open door even wider. Countries around the world are tiring of America's "policeman of the world" attitude and in the future will not hesitate to stand up if they see previous success.

I have included a little video that many people have seen before, but sadly enough it might come true.
