I find that my time is precious- no more then yours, but it is. As I evaluate my life, and move through the years, I even find that it is sacred. All the things I never paid attention to before, move to the forefront of my mind. The things I took for granted, have all been "reality-checked" by life's events, both good and bad. So from this, I realized I have a voice, and I want to use it. Not just to be heard, it really is not that simple, but to make a difference. It is as if my words, could just bring one thought of change, to those who read them, then I have accomplished something good in my 40 short years.
I look at the events of the world right now- all the things making a huge impact- along with them, the supported knowledge of my continued adult college education, and I am so unsettled by what I see. This perpetuated generational selfishness and self righteous nation we live in is truly disturbing to me. To take the ways of our freedom, and to minimize them to some personal self-righteous statement many make about the USA is downright embarrassing. The lack of compassion and willingness to be kind and reach out to help other nations is disgusting- all the while, many bitching about our own country, and it's politics- but they are unwilling to invest one iota of effort to enact change personally. It can be from the simplest things as recycling, water conservation, human rights, to economic and fiscally responsible actions, to ethnic or global freedoms and kindness.
I have looked, and watched silently for many years, thinking I was too young, or naive, or uneducated to speak up- to try to point things out. To think of solutions for myself let alone others. My journey through political science, history, and women's studies, has opened my eyes to a whole new world of things that I want, and could change. So now, I have slowly over the last year, begun to speak out. For rights, for equality, for change, for conservation, for alternatives. I can have a voice, I have a right to bitch..why? because I do vote, I do write legislation, policy holders, groups, the Representatives, the house and I do make the effort to see what I think is right, come about. Does that mean that I simply think you should agree on the same things? NO!! but what it does mean, is that you also should work towards the changes you want and have a voice too instead of a simple gripe! What I want to do is open your eyes- wide open, to see the world around you, and how you, as one simple person alone, can make a difference everyday, in small baby steps! Welcome on board, to the wind for a change- all it takes is for the wind to carry your voice, and many can hear it, many may heed it... it can make a difference.. so do your part too!

~DISTURBING~
I agree money needs to allowcated properly here in the USA... BUT.... we are one of the richest countries on the planet- and if you look at what has happened in JAPAN- they have lost everything- and I think helping out others, our neighbors, ...is never a bad thing... the saying what comes around goes around, should never be limited by BORDERS. Being internally fiscal would be a great thing- but being selfish is not- if all of the world opened their arms to embrace and help- the world would be a much better place. WE do have shelters, and aid here- and many people CHOOSE not to seek it- I am not saying there are those who simply slip through the cracks, because certainly the system is not fair- but there are alot of resources for those who TRY to seek it- mental illness and drug issues (including alcohol) play a large part in those who dont get help- but there are many people due to economic failure and personally failed finances too; and then have no choice but to end up homeless... still, despite all these terrible circumstances- to see the loss of everything- 10,000 people, jobs, homes, animals, cars, money, banks, water, food sources, boats- all of it in Japan??... you don't think we should reach out a helping hand to them or Haiti??? You can not compare our hardships to those of these countries completely devestated!! You could take the food we throw out everyday in the garbage can in our homes, or at the end of the day at a restraunt for that matter, in the USA alone, and feed a nation! We overspend, and are materialistic in the US. Much is wasted and never recycled. We burn up natural resources faster then they can replenish. There are certainly things we could do to help oourselves internally, in our nation and don't. It is not to say many are unfairly, and unjustly treated either- because I am certainly not claiming perfection here in our country. If you want to see it make MORE SENSE here in the USA??? get out and vote! you have a voice, a choice, and you can pressure your politicians and congress by getting involved. I follow the laws personally, and pettition the house, representives and legislators at LEAST once a week on something I feel strongly about- we need to complain where it counts to change this- and help others too.

Just Some Pondering .. my rules and guides~
1) I look at age, color of skin, creed, religeon, race, sexual preference, or anything else as a boundry implied by mankind for the walls of perception for those only shallow enough to walk along it- essentially the simpleton lets it define ANYTHING worth jack shit....
2) envision what you want you life to be, and for the most part, it will be.... but if you nestle in the dreary shit- you will remain there!
3) You better be at PEACE within yourself, or the world will pick your PEICES apart one by one and you will be left with NOTHING....... (know thyself, love thyself)
4) if you have no standards, all you will excell at is failure.... you are the only one who make yourself happy, set your boundries of right or wrong, make your own decisions, pick your friends, determine your life..... so better get some dam standards!
5) Everything has consequences...... you can't always determine the consequences until you get there... it is not your fault, sometimes knowledge comes with experinces...... what is your fault is if you wallow in the consequences and never pick a path to higher ground if you are not happy with those consequences...... if you want to drown in your own flood, so be it, but dont make it be my problem... I am climbing the path to higher grounds, thank you very much....
6) Death Equates to loss: time dulls the pain of our loss, but it never silences the love.... God Bless!
7) An anchor is a Thorn.... and a support gives you room to bloom...
8) and of course there is my word invetion of 1983: Fuck-tard.... or Fuck-tarded...
9) I forgot the best fact- and we all do both!!!: Masturbation is like Procrastination, in the End, your only fucking yourself!!!
10) I was born this way, and you? Whats your excuse?
11) If you dont like it that I am a Bitch, just think of it this way.. I'm not your bitch so don't worry about it and mind your own dam business!! lol...
12) NO, I am not some skinny bean pole- yead, you can call it chubby, fat, undertall, and be mean, or what have you... but it's ok, because I like me, and thank GOD some people like a little "MEAT" with their potatoes..... CURVY is the new fashion satement!!
13) being "TRUE" encompasses the Art of Honesty... and no one should ever challenge that with boundries of confinement & expectations of their own selfish agenda
14) as I told someone the other day- it is easy to meet millions of people these days- but it is hard to find the one in a million who shares our values, beliefs, and interests and truly makes us compatible...
and it takes alot more then love and sex to make a relationship work..
15) I think the sock monster has a santa clause like quality- he makes it to all the households of the world at once, and when you open the dryer, you never know what you are gonna get!!
16) an opinion, is just that, an opinion, it is like assholes, we all have 1, & if an opinion is offensive 2 someone & they tell you that you R "opinionated" that is only because they are so insecure that they feel like "your opinion" is threatening 2 who they really are- which in turn equates to "not much" if they are not strong enough 2 know who they are! Its called insecure!
- Cody Ann Kimball an opinion can make us grow and become a bigger and better person. both by giving them, and receiving them.... and someone who is opinionated, just has the balls to SAY what they think and feel and be honest, where the rest think it, feel it, but dont have the balls to express it... therefore even more so indicating an insecurity about themselves... so tak it or leave it- an opinion is what you will get on my wall.... not willing to hear it or accept it? please leave my wall... there is the exit... !!!
16) you can't change others, you can only change you... to meet your goals, you must be able to wrap a full circle of passion around that which oppresses you, to encompass the other side of the world.....
