A "Thanksgiving Prayer"

This prayer was sent to me from a friend studying in Chile for the year. He got it from an indigenous "pagan" he knows down there. Enjoy:

May the ancients of this great and noble land who were deceived, raped, hunted, murdered, and displaced by our cruel and bigoted ancestors, throw off the shackles of their oppressors. May they cast their irons into the forging fires in order to fuel their righteous quest of truth.

May the ancients of the land resume their rightful stewardship and be returned their thrones.

May the spirits of this beautiful and glorious land who’ve had their glorious virtue choked out by our plundering and raping ancestors, rise up from their places of slumber and subjugation and reclaim what is rightfully theirs. May they rip asunder the choking foundations which poison them and conquer with light and shadow.

May the spirits of the land rise up twixt all places and rebirth their ineffable divinity.

May the stars of this wide and fruitful land who bore witness to the destruction of the immanent majesty by our vile and wrathful ancestors, oversee the toppling of the oppressors prismatic vanity. May they gaze upon Towers of Babble returning to dust during hungry, fiery storms of transformative rebirth.

May the stars of the land rain down their fire and bring forth the seeds of virgin remanifestation.

I am thankful for the Ancestors of this land.
Glory to those who walked this soil first,
And glory to all those who honor their name.

I am thankful for the Spirits of this land.
Glory to those who let us live among them,
And glory to those who never will surrender.

I am thankful for the Stars of this land.
Glory to the starfire which consumes and transforms,
And glory to that which will perpetually create anew.

I am thankful for this land.
I honor it’s ancient stewards,
And I curse those who would subjugate them.

Hopeless Romantics and the People Who Snub Them

Hopeless: desperate; without hope; impossible to acomplish

Romantic: fanciful; unrealistic; passionate

If you look at those two definitions, they actually do fit together... desperate and unrealistic.

Its actually quite sad to be considered a hopless romantic. To be doomed to the same life of unrealistic dreams, and desperate to achieve them... yet without hope.

Is it sad that I still, after knowing the definition, prefer to be a hopeless romantic?

I prefer to have the unrealistc dreams in love and not achieve them than settle.

The love I have, and there is a lot, is unrequited everytime I try to give it, and yet I still try.

Because I believe that one day I will find the one that I can give my love to, and she will return it with the same passion and joy that I have.

Is that a realistic dream?

Or am I just being a hopeless romantic once again?

You're No Better

This is a rather old one that I wrote... ummm... so yeah, here it is...

Time is money
And knowledge is power
When people go to school
They get smarter by the hour
That's a math problem
That won't take Einstein
But you, my friend,
Are a waste of power and time

Movements of time and space
Leave you without a trace
Of your mind or sanity
Leaving only greed and vanity
People mut know
That they don't know
We're all in the same boat
Trying to stay afloat...

Looks can be decieving
Faces can be misleading
All I know is nothing
And you're no better

Vanity is evil
And greed is a sin
I don't battle wits
With unarmed men
You aren't fit
To even shine my shoes
So in the end
Again you lose

Movements of time and space
That dumb look on your face
Leavebyou with no knowledge or time
No money, no power
And all of those with you
Get dumber by the hour
No one will save you
No one will care
And when you need them
No one will be there...

lingering

Trying not to post for the sake of posting lol...

Gimme your takes on it, me being super wrapped up in the moment

A feeling of desire, it lingers here inside of me

I would give anything to hold you again inside my arms

And linger there for just one second holding you so very close

I held you only for a moment’s time but your presence stays with me

I remember how you felt; your skin just grazing mine; so soft to touch

I will remember how we forgot about the whole wide world

Just for one instance in time we knew nothing else but the sweet embrace we shared

I knew that it would have to end but still hoped that it would not

My mind still lingers on that single moment in time

Music

So ok, maybe I watched the AMA's and that inspired me to write this... don't judge me.

Lately, I've been non stop playing music, like almost 24/7 even when I sleep.

And I must say, it's been damn nice. There is a song for every single emotion I have felt.

But I digress, I just want to share a couple of good video's of songs that have just made me feel these past couple weeks.

I hope you feel them as much as I have.

Reply to "Being Gay(ish)"

Frisco, I have known you for many years. And over the years I have called you by many names, but I don't think that any of them have fit more than when I called you "homosexually questionable."

For those of you who don't know; the definition of homosexually questionable is that we know that he is going to be gay, but we don't know when. It is always assumed that he will be gay, but every once in a while, he will say something completely hetero and catch us all off guard...

But that is besides the point... The point is, you have a wider range of options than I do in the dating scene, as well as the fact that you have probably had more actual dating experience than I have.

One other thing... on the Oprah quote... if you "love yourself" please keep it to yourself... (sorry bud, couldn't resist the joke)

But I believe that my biggest problem with online dating... is the dreaded first message... you never know what to say... you always end up rambling on... much like this post...

Also, Frisco... one more thing to you... with you looking for other men, it is a toss up on who will send that first message. He may send you one or you can send him one... but for a straight man... unless you have a six pack and post many shirtless photos... she isn't making the first move...

Being Gay(ish) and all that Jazz

I sort of come and go with my "level of gay" and recently I've just felt like UBER Gay.

It comes and goes I guess hahaha. I guess I'm never NOT gay, but yeah. IDK

Random thoughts.

I mostly just wanted to share this song and to "reply" to Bildo's last post about online dating.

As some of you may know, I JUST recently signed up for a couple of online sites, and so far...things seem to be going in some sort of a right(ish) direction. At least from what I can tell.

Actual results, well I wouldn't be able to say because it's been way too early for that.

In the gay world, (and I'm sure just the world in general) it seems like everyone kindof already fucked everyone else, so It can get weird st points.

Have I been part of the problem? Yes, I'm sure.

But that's besides the point.

To keep on with the gay theme of this post, Oprah says over and over again, it's ok to just love yourself!

Personally I have been single for quite some time now and although I am ready to start dating again, I HAD to be sure I was absolutely comfortable with being "just me"

Anywho, there is the song!!

I'm obsessed with 5AwesomeGays, and TylerOakley, I just LOVE this song though!
