Hello

My mama.My mama is the best mama in the world she is beautiful. And nice.
Shes my mommy. Soon it is gowing to be beltene and I'm glad I helped mama.And I love my mama

i love you mama )o( :><:

It's May, it's May, the month of "yes you may"....

And, more importantly, it's Beltaine. The honest, passionate, whole-hearted celebration of life doing what it does best; living. It's so painfully, potently sad on such a joyous occassion we are sowing the seeds of grief and hatred among a people who've had many times their fair share. I can't help but wonder; how many women and children of another country are worth killing to save one American soldiers life? I mean, where is the metric for that? How can we justify killing women and children at a rate of nearly 100 to 1 for our own casualties. And please, don't give me the whole 'self defense' bit. The British, who are there with the American troops, are not having to gun them down, quite literally, by the dozen. If we are so hated that we have to kill about six people a day, not soldiers mind you, but just people, just to stay alive....

WHY DON'T WE JUST LEAVE?!? At what point does *shooting people* start being recognized as, perhaps, not completely helpful?

If our intentions were indeed noble we would turn it over to someone, anyone, else. We would foot a big chunk of the expense; I mean, we did blow the hell out of their country and kill thousands of their people, men, women and children, level their homes and destroy their infrastructure. However, we also must, obviously to anyone with a serious desire to see this result in a genuine and lasting peace, leave. Get out. Leave the reconstruction to someone else. We've been abject failures at nation building every single time we've ever tried. How many cultures do we need to bugger over before we realize this is a skill we may, perhaps, be lacking? To drive the point home, our interference and then complete lack of skill at trying to help undo the damage we did is the precise *reason* these people hate Americans to begin with. Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, all through the middle east we have a reputation for shafting their nations over without a single genuine clue as to how their culture works or what they want.

However, all that ranting aside.... the Pocket Shrub is doomed where re-election is concerned. You can fake all the polls you want; no other political group will call you on it because they all do it. But when it comes down to the actual voting... well, I guess I just have more faith in the human race than to do something so stupid as to put this diminutive nutcase in for a second term.

Happy Beltaine, everybody!

Beltaine is about Spring, and about the Mother giving life. It's about everything regrowing. I hope you all have a wonderful Beltaine. Just don't spend your entire Beltaine in the kitchen! If you do, then you don't have time for any of the other stuff, like dancing around the maypole with your baby sister, or going for a picnic in the woods. Or talking to the birdies. Taking time to thank the Mother. And just having fun!

I hope your Beltaine is full of sunshine and daisies!

This post needed to be seperate so as not to muddy things or taint this post with my own venom that I had to get out last time. Okay, here goes... I whipped this up for all of you:



We are not able to do our ritual and the like today, it will have to wait until Saturday as so many others have to do as well. But the kids and I spent most of today preparing what we could, parts of the feast mostly. Baking bread, preparing goodies, etc.

Personally, my little family has a great deal to be grateful for this year and I intend to spend every moment of Beltane being thankful for all that we have been given. This is my favorite holy day. I know I know. Most people love Yule, or Samhain. Not me, I am a Beltane gal through and through.

I hope that each of you enjoy your Beltane if you choose to celebrate it, and if you don't, I hope you enjoy the season be thee in the spring now as we are or winter. Isn't She beautiful? I don't know about you but my Mother has every reason to hate our race, yet She still provides us with such beauty that it will steal the breath from your lips. It is my hope for you that your bliss kick you in the pants and bubble the laughter from within you this day.

Okay, several strife free weeks. Back to the blog hmm? The war is over. But it isn't. Not by a long shot. The wmd's existed, they had proof. But they didn't. They did admit this past week that maybe, just maybe they blew certain aspects out of proportion to be able to run their dirty little war. They make me want to gag.

Truthfully, let's look at this from a parenting perspective, they LIED, thereby using that lie to enable the to STEAL something that is not rightfully theirs, in this case, a country. I think they need a time-out. No, seriously, they behave worse than children. They state publically things that if children said their parents would be dismayed at best. They spew hate and fear-monger and create nothing positive whatsoever and we are all supposed to swallow it. Did you take your bullshit pill today?

The statue being torn down? Touching yes? Beautiful and poignant and something we should remember like the destruction of the berlin wall right? Wrong. It was staged. Fake. No go. Only a few select people were invited to witness it, and the press filmed everything nice and tight to make it look like there were crowds of people. Take a peek at the arial photos... the square was nearly empty. A fake. Like the rest of it. Why is that a shock?

Okay now let's look at something else that is on my mind. If ShrubCo is reelected I may have to go on a rampage. Okay, so I am a hippy type and my rampages look more like little bunny foof oo run amok, but still. I know those polls are fake, they have to be because I live in a conservative place and everyone here thinks he is a dink, so where is he getting these supposedly high numbers? Bah. So as long as we all understand this: Reelecting the idiots that made this mess = bad. Not a tough concept so lets all make sure we are clear and together on it okay? At this point it looks something like this: ELECT ANYONE ELSE!!!!! Or to use American pop culture which seems to get through to people the best at a level they can grasp: Got brains? Don't vote with your head in the Bushes.
