  • Publicly Funded Health Care? No, Thank You!

    Just look at how well England's been handling it.

    National Health Services (NHS) is England's public health care system. That's right. England's government is responsible for all this. English taxes went into funding it.

    Think that this could never happen in the grand ole' U.S.? Just look at our president - a man with no respect for life. He is openly for stem cell research, abortion, and voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act on more than one occasion. He's also pushing FOCA, removed the Mexico City Ban, and, guess what, is now pushing publicly funded health care.

    Not to mention a whole new tax outta your paycheck. Yay! Universal health care is only free if you're already living off the government. I don't know about you, but social security and medicare is taking enough out of my check that I'll never see again. In my opinion, those two should be optional. If you don't pay it, you don't get it, and that includes Mr. Welfare Check with his flat screen and new car. Just let me keep my money, Uncle Sam. I know I can handle it MUCH better than you.

    Comatose(by Skillet, not me)

    I hate feeling like this
    I'm so tired of trying to fight this
    I'm asleep and all I dream of
    Is waking to you

    Tell me that you will listen
    Your touch is what I'm missing
    And the more I hide I realize
    I'm slowly losing you

    Comatose
    I'll never wake up without an overdose of you

    I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
    'Less I feel you next to me
    You take the pain I feel
    (Waking up to you never felt so real)

    I don't wanna sleep, I don't wanna dream
    'Cause my dreams don't comfort me
    The way you make me feel
    (Waking up to you never felt so real)

    I hate living without you
    Dead wrong to ever doubt you
    But my demons lay in waiting
    Tempting me away

    Oh, how I adore you
    Oh, how I thirst for you
    Oh, how I need you

    Comatose
    I'll never wake up without an overdose of you

    I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
    'Less I feel you next to me
    You take the pain I feel
    (Waking up to you never felt so real)

    I don't wanna sleep, I don't wanna dream
    'Cause my dreams don't comfort me
    The way you make me feel
    (Waking up to you never felt so real)

    Breathing life, waking up
    My eyes open up

    Comatose
    I'll never wake up without an overdose of you

    I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
    'Less I feel you next to me
    You take the pain I feel
    (Waking up to you never felt so real)

    I don't wanna sleep, I don't wanna dream
    'Cause my dreams don't comfort me
    The way you make me feel
    (Waking up to you never felt so real)

    Oh, how I adore you
    (Waking up to you never felt so real)
    Oh, how I thirst for you
    (Waking up to you never felt so real)
    Oh, how I adore you
    The way you make me feel
    (Waking up to you never felt so real)

    This is exactly how I feel right now. I wish I didn't have to sleep. School seems pointless when I could be spending time with God worshipping. That's all I want to do is pray and learn as much as I can about God or just get closer to Him. I desire Him. I can never get enough of Him. I have never been this close to God before, and it feels awesome. And I know I can be so much closer. I was going to change my major to art with a concentration in graphic design, but I know that it'll just end up more time spent away from God, and I won't be happy. I'm considering sisterhood.

    So where's the brainsmush?

    I don't even know where to start in picking an order/convent thing. I considered a cloister until today when Rachel (my brother's girlfriend) asked if I would be the godmother of the child when he/she's born. I said yes. I'm extremely excited. Not only do I wanna spoil the kid to death, I want to be a good godmother. In a cloister, I would only be able to pray. I know how powerful prayer is. Ancient_Scribe's prayers have transformed my life from miles and miles away. But I want to walk the child's spiritual journey with him step by step. I want to be a visual guide. I want to be there in the sense that if he come to my doorstep at 4 in the morning needing an ear or anything, I can tend to him.

    Then I don't even know if I'm sure about sisterhood. I have my wonderful boyfriend Alex. He's so great. Granted, he's not Catholic, but his faith in God is growing. He has some obstacles in the way, but we all do. Even if I wasn't with him, I want a family someday. I want kids of my own to love and cherish. But I have no clue what my profession would be then. I know that it's normal for college students to change their major a few times but I don't want to be like my aunt who went to college, changed her major a few times, dropped out and went to massage therapy school only to realize she hated that.

    >o< My brain being smushed.

    Do We Find God or Does He Find Us?

    I here many reformed Christians say that they "found God." Well that just doesn't make any sense to me. God's not lost. He knows where He is. We are the lost ones. We are the ones who need to be carried back into the fold.

    "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost." Luke 19:10

    "What is you opinion? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray?" Matthew 18:12

    Favorite Xangans?

    These are my favorite Xangans. These are the people that either give good advice, have awesome blogs, or are just plain cool. If I don't list you I hate you. Not really. Sarcasm. Awww. Don't cry. I'm sorry. *maniacal laughing* Sorry. I'm delirious. Too much studying+too little sleep.

    Three Oldest Xanga Friends
    These guys aren't in chronological oder but these three people really helped me through a dark part in my life.

    sheepthatsblack - I haven't talked to you in forever. I need to download AIM on the Mac.
    Dommiegirl - I know you have a new username now but I always think of you as Dommiegirl.
    Ancient_Scribe - Yay! You're twice on the list! You never helped in your words, but you helped in a more powerful way. You prayed for me every day. That helped me in ways you don't know of and I thought not possible. Keep praying buddy.

    Anyone else have any favorite Xangans?

About Me

  • "Suffering is inevitable. Persevering is optional." I'm a Roman Catholic soldier for Christ and I'm ready to prove it. I love arguing with people about politics and religion. I was once a wild soul only God could (and did) tame. You think I'm ignorant and a fool? Try me.
