<P>it's the apocalypse. She's making a weekly (hopefully weekly xD) newsletter. Everyone grab your pitchforks and stakes. It's time for the hunt. Since this is the first one i won't be too subject to stuff. I'll mostly talk about stuff that's going on in the news and give my "unbiased" opinion on it. like that's possible. </P>
<P><STRONG>NEW YORK RETIRES LAST MECHANICAL PARKING METER</STRONG></P>
<P>This article made it into the new york times? how lame can you get? no, of course not, there's not a war going on in Iraq, people being shot daily, children being raped and mothers crying. That's why we're putting in stories about mechanical parking meters. Oh, you're grandma just got shot by the police? we don't care to put that in the news because we have to have a five hundred page article about mechanical parking meters and the difference between lead and iron and which one works better with copper pennies.</P>
<P><STRONG>U.S. SEES PROGRESS IN TALKS WITH NORTH KOREA</STRONG></P>
<P>Alright, we've tried to stop North Korea from making nuclear weapons before, what makes us think that they want to comply now? North Korea wants our heads on silver platters. I don't exactly think that they will say, "Hey sure, we'll stop making bombs for you Americans!" Yeah. Not going to work. Who knows? it might be a feign. They might say they'll stop making nuclear weapons and then like, start producing them behind the scenes and then bomb us when we're unawares. Besides, it's not too good when your president can't say "nuclear" correct either. Not a plus for our side.</P>
<P><STRONG>CHINA TIGHTENS ADOPTION RULES FOR FOREIGNERS</STRONG></P>
<P>I'm actually, pretty unbiased about this article, to say in the least. it's an amazing feat. I think that some of the rules for adopting a child are good ones, especially the ones about being physcologically okay with having an adopted child. China wants the best parents for their "citizens." They want the cream of the crop. the super mom and super dad you've always heard about but you sadly never have those types of parents. One thing i don't get is, China is the number one leading country in forced abortions. Now they're having problems with too many parents from America wanting Chinese children to adopt. Isn't irony a bitch?</P>
<P>Well, i don't feel like talking about anything else, it's getting tedious and i'm hungry. I'm going to go eat some cheez-its and uncooked ramen. have fun everyone. enjoy your first installment of my wonderful but oddly stupid newsletter. Keep it rolling, folks.</P>

	      <title><![CDATA[A World of Darkness Vs. The Hope for Light]]></title>
	      <link>http://konaxyume.buzznet.com/user/journal/81069/world-darkness-vs-hope-light/</link>
	      <description><![CDATA[<P>Do you ever have that feeling that nothing you do is right? Do you ever feel like whatever you do always turns out wrong? Like nothing you do or say can make things better? And everything you say just makes things worse? Do you ever have that feeling like you don't know what to say because you don't want it to come out wrong? Do you ever look for truth and never find anything? Does it sometimes feel like your care&nbsp;and&nbsp;your kindness goes unnotice? Does it ever seem like you can never be good enough?</P>
<P>I think we all feel like that sometimes.....feel that sense of worthlessness and shame. Feel like all the care in the world wouldn't change a thing. The world is rotten place. It's full of ignorant hypocrites that pray for peace and justice and freedom then go and deny everything they say. It's full of arrogant jerks that think they're are god,&nbsp;that what they says goes. It's full of uncaring people that&nbsp;never give a thought to what's really happening. </P>
<P>Do you think we could change that? or do you think we'll just get worse with time? People don't change....no matter how much we want them to. They can't. Some might say they've changed but&nbsp;when the time comes and you're faced with the temptation, you're&nbsp;going to crack. Put a&nbsp;ex-drug addict that's been in rehab who says he's been clean for&nbsp;six years in a room with a table that has&nbsp;a pile of cocaine on it along with the different ways to use it and leave him there alone for several days. sooner or later, he's going to crack and use cocaine even though he's been drug free for six years. It's&nbsp;human nature. however much we say that we can change, it's not possible. once a cheater, always a cheater. once a liar, always a liar.&nbsp;Once a smoker, always&nbsp;a smoker. You can't escape it. It'll haunt you for the rest of your life.</P>
<P>But sometimes, you just see that special moment...that special spark in a person's eyes that gives you the hope that something will change. That&nbsp;there really is some good in people. That there is light amongst the dark. You see two young lovers, so deeply and passionately in love and it gives you hope that there is such thing as true love and that this place&nbsp;isn't just&nbsp;full of assholes. You see people giving money or gifts or food to the poor and homeless and it gives you hope that people really do care about others and not just about themselves. You see people risking their lives for others and it gives you hope that people have courage and strength and don't run from their responsibilities. There are some things in life that are worth fighting for. That are worth dying for. And it's those things that you hang onto. </P>
<P>We all have a sense of hopelessness or worthlessness in our lives at times....and sometimes we just want to end it all. get rid of the pain, the torment, the tears, the sleepless nights. But...we see those moments that give us courage to go on, give us strength to perservere, give us hope that there is light in the a sea of darkness, give us faith that there is something better out there. And it's those moments that we have to hang onto, we have to remember. Because without those moments, where would the light be? where would love be? where would life be? It's those moments that can change the unchangeable. It's those moments that give hope and light&nbsp;back to a world of darkness.</P>

	      <title><![CDATA[Worthless Confessions of a Liar]]></title>
	      <link>http://konaxyume.buzznet.com/user/journal/79698/worthless-confessions-liar/</link>
	      <description><![CDATA[<P>what is life without love? what is love without trust? what is trust without hope? what is hope without faith? what is faith without forgivness? what is forgiveness without humility? what is humility without modesty? what is modesty without vanity? what is vanity without jealousy? what is jealousy without fear? what is fear without risks? what are risks without chances? what are chances without dreams? what are dreams without imagination? what is imagination without creativity? what is creativity without outlandishness? what is outlandishness without happiness? what is happiness without joy? what is joy without pain? what is pain without beauty? what is beauty without sacrifice? what is sacrifice without anger? what is anger without rashness? what is rashness without stupidity? what is stupidity without ignorance? what is ignorance without arrogance? what is arrogance without difference? what is difference without acceptance? what is acceptance without tolerance? what is tolerance without kindness? what is kindness without betrayal? what is betrayal without revenge? what is revenge without hate? what is hate without death? what is death without life?</P>
<P>Nothing. everything in this world is connected together on a thin gossamer strand, blowing in the wind. one gust of air could blow it away forever. God's icy wind will freeze us all with his unseen wrath. A man who forgets who he is is a man that is damned to wander and search for the answer till the day of his death. A man who has forgotten his morals and goals is damned to the lowest and most evil circle of hell for all of enternity. A man who has fogotten how to love, trust, hope, hate, and dream doesn't deserve to exist at all. A man who encompasses all of these i have yet to find. but, a man to defies all of these, i have yet to see, for this man, is the anchor for us all.</P>

	      <title><![CDATA[Inspirational Quotes]]></title>
	      <link>http://konaxyume.buzznet.com/user/journal/69757/inspirational-quotes/</link>
	      <description><![CDATA[here are just some quotes that i found and i really like them so i thought i'd share them with everyone else! ^_~<br>~~~~~~~<br>* Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. -- Emily Bronte<br><br>* Love is always bestowed as a gift-- freely, willingly, and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love. -- Leo Buscaglia<br><br>* The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost. -- Gilbert K. Chesterton<br><br>* Footfalls echo in the memory, down the passage which we did no take, towards the door we never opened into the rose garden. -- T.S. Eliot<br><br>* Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit. -- Kahlil Gibran<br><br>* Love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to stop. -- H.L. Mencken<br><br>* At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet. -- Plato<br><br>* There is no disguise which can hide love for long where it exists, or simulate it where it does not. -- Francois de La Rochefoucauld<br><br>* Doubt that the stars are fire, doubt that the sun doth move, doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt I love. -- William Shakespeare<br><br>* Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage. -- Lao Tzu<br><br>* I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can play together all night. -- Bill Watterson<br><br>* I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free. -- Michelangelo<br><br>* Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. -- Edgar Allen Poe<br><br>* The lunatic, the lover, and the poet, are of imagination all compact. -- William Shakespeare<br><br>* I am imagination. I can see what the eyes cannot see. I can hear what the ears cannot hear. I can feel what the heart cannot feel. -- Peter Nivio Zarlenga<br><br>* Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. -- James A. Baldwin<br><br>* When you're in love you never really know whether your elation comes from the qualities of the one you love, or if it attributes them to her; whether the light which surrounds her like a halo comes from you, from her, or from the meeting of your sparks. -- Natalie Clifford Barney<br>&nbsp;<br>* A kiss is a lovely truck designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous. -- Ingrid Bergman<br><br>* All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. -- Thomas Edward Lawrence<br><br>* So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable. -- Christopher Reeve<br>]]></description>
