0 Love you with all my heart, poem
Finding you was a gift from God
that answered the stream of prayers that made up my past
and now I can talk with you at long last
and be at one with your heart and soul
Instead of my prayers piled up and stuck on my bedroom's sky
instead of my whispers into my pillowcase becoming a lullaby
instead of dreams escaping through my window's lip
instead of time slipping through all of my hope's grip
I can look into your eyes and kiss your lips
Truly, truly our song is strung together
you're the lightening to my thunder
and our emotions are mixed up like the rain
and I know that there could be no other that could ever share my name
Let our cherished moments christen the bad
let us learn to drown out all of our worries with all that we ever had
and take a moment to say those special words that we've always known
and let us replay those special moments that we've grown
"Love you with all my heart and soul,"
Your Fiancee, Anthony

0 Bad Dreams, Bad Night
Had horrible dreams, was being operated on in one of my dreams; woke up with a head ache, a weird heart gurgle, and feeling like not myself. Another dream I had tonight felt real like it wasn't a dream: got a parking ticket in that dream. And I think there was one more dream that I don't remember as well... Sigh.
Now I feel disoriented, and I hate that feeling. What can you do? Lately, I've been having bad, distressing dreams and don't know why. I would like to get back to the normal dreams that I have at night, though. Action pack dreams, dreams of sunshine and merriment and so fourth :) Hate not feeling like myself.

0 Spiritual and Physical Sicknesses, quote
A spiritual sickness is a lot like a physical one: it torments you and wears away at you, it causes you to behave differently and unlike yourself, it requires healing and recovery to get better; one of the ways they differ is: a physical one has tangible symptoms, ones that you can see, feel, and touch, while a spiritual sickness can't be touch with anything but your heart and mind and soul; this is what makes a spiritual one so much harder; that and a spiritual one is an internal battle that you do on your own, while a physical one you can have external help that can fix it on your behalf.

How we handle ourselves in good moments is equally as important as how we handle ourselves in bad. What I mean by this is: do you still appreciate the people around you when you are having your good moments, or take them for granted; do you still do what's right, when your life is going so perfectly; Are you still true to who you are, or do you change to fit the moment; these are questions you should ask yourself.

0 Boulders and Pebbles, quote
Can a boulder be stopped by a pebble? This is how I feel about many aspects of life.

0 Child-like Heart, quote
A child-like heart is a precious thing; our innocence is a precious thing; sometimes, we dare not loose grasp of what makes us...us.

2 Halloween Candy Voucher Idea
Happy Halloween everyone! I have a new idea for the Trick or Treating process :) Halloween is suppose to be a social event; but now days, Halloween is losing it's social origins in favor of private parties, home events, churches, and so on (safer methods). This is because there are evil people out there that poisons/sabotages the candies, puts razor blades into apples, and so fourth to destroy the community spirit. Therefore, I came up with an idea that would make door to door treating a safer event without the risk of candy hell.
This is how it will work: The grocery stores sell vouchers for candy, instead of the candy themselves for trick or treating at a discounted rate. When a kid treat or treats at your doorstep, instead of handing out candy, you hand them one or two vouchers for the candy that they can redeem at the stores (and the stores could sell the vouchers in rolls at discounted rates.) The stores can set the value of a bag of candy to a certain amount of vouchers (25, 50, or so), at which they can redeem them with. I thought this would be a wonderful way to spark the old Halloween spirit and Trick or Treating door to door.
Oh yea, the original idea I had was basically the same but more prone to abuse. The original idea was giving each kid a dime, nickel, or quarter instead of candy, and by the time they go to 50 houses or so, they would have enough for a big bag of candy. There is less hassle with that method but it would lead to problems. For example: Parents using their kids to earn money for themselves, kids getting their money stolen, buying items that they shouldn't be getting, and so fourth. That is why I fine tuned the idea to implement vouchers: it would due away with a lot of the problems that a money method would bring.
Hope you enjoyed the theoretical idea that I came up with,
Have a safe, enjoyable, Halloween everyone!

When a kid treat or treats at your doorstep, instead of handing out candy, you hand them one or two vouchers for the candy that they can redeem at the stores (and the stores could sell the vouchers in rolls at discounted rates.) The stores can set the value of a bag of candy to a certain amount of vouchers (25, 50, or so), at which they can redeem them with. I thought this would be a wonderful way to spark the old Halloween spirit and Trick or Treating door to door.
Oh yea, the original idea I had was basically the same but more prone to abuse. The original idea was giving each kid a dime, nickel, or quarter instead of candy, and by the time they go to 50 houses or so, they would have enough for a big bag of candy. There is less hassle with that method but it would lead to problems. For example: Parents using their kids to earn money for themselves, kids getting their money stolen, buying items that they shouldn't be getting, and so fourth. That is why I fine tuned the idea to implement vouchers: it would due away with a lot of the problems that a money method would bring.
Hope you enjoyed the theoretical idea that I came up with,
Have a safe, enjoyable, Halloween everyone!

1 Crying a Thousand Knives, song lyrics
I'm falling apart
slowing in the dark
not knowing who I am
waiting in the mirror to see myself again
and all of this sin is eating me alive
all of my thoughts are crying a thousand knives
and all my heart is collapsing from within
as I adventure down this ride that's forbidden
all I am is lost down the dark depths
leaving me with a thousand weights on my chest
it is crushing at my soul
and I don't know where to go
I am slowly being buried inside
with no where to run or hide
all I am is falling apart down the drain
all I am is burning up in flames
and I feel like I lost my mind
I don't know when in time
If I'll ever be myself again
slowing in the dark
not knowing who I am
waiting in the mirror to see myself again
and all of this sin is eating me alive
all of my thoughts are crying a thousand knives
and all my heart is collapsing from within
as I adventure down this ride that's forbidden
all I am is lost down the dark depths
leaving me with a thousand weights on my chest
it is crushing at my soul
and I don't know where to go
I am slowly being buried inside
with no where to run or hide
all I am is falling apart down the drain
all I am is burning up in flames
and I feel like I lost my mind
I don't know when in time
If I'll ever be myself again

1 Fire and Flames, song lyrics
My candle is slowly burning out
down to the wick and I just want to shout
up to the heavens for more fire and flames
Light up my eyes and show me the way
Light up my eyes and keep the darkness at bay
The wick to my heart is tattered and weak
and the treasure inside is disappearing down deep
and I just want to cry out in tears and song
keep all I have that ever belonged
Stop the leak that pours out of my soul
Stop the thoughts that should never be sowed
and all I can feel is the numbing cold
and all I can feel is my heart losing all that it knows
My Candle is slowly growing dim
my heart is filled with trash and sin
and my eyes are slowly going out
all I see are stars and want to shout
Please, Lord, give me back my burning faith
Lighting up my path that could never be erased
Please, Lord, give me back who I was
And pulsate with fire Your everlasting Love
down to the wick and I just want to shout
up to the heavens for more fire and flames
Light up my eyes and show me the way
Light up my eyes and keep the darkness at bay
The wick to my heart is tattered and weak
and the treasure inside is disappearing down deep
and I just want to cry out in tears and song
keep all I have that ever belonged
Stop the leak that pours out of my soul
Stop the thoughts that should never be sowed
and all I can feel is the numbing cold
and all I can feel is my heart losing all that it knows
My Candle is slowly growing dim
my heart is filled with trash and sin
and my eyes are slowly going out
all I see are stars and want to shout
Please, Lord, give me back my burning faith
Lighting up my path that could never be erased
Please, Lord, give me back who I was
And pulsate with fire Your everlasting Love

0 Falling Apart, poem
Deep within the coves of my heart
resonates my worries and fears
inside the caverns of my soul
beats cries of demon tears
Who am I to wander within
with this analytical mind
who am I to think upon
monsters and demons like pieces of art made refine
To gaze and ponder
to try and find meaning from the sin
that buried within these creatures
is a lie so delicious and grim
How can I turn away my mind
like I turn away my head
to think upon the bright starry light
shinning from afar within
My soul is made of puzzle pieces
my heart a Jenga wall
how high I thought I was
And how low I feel I have to fall
My emotions are like potions
brewing from all the lies and truths
yet I drink them like a drunk at his favorite booth
hoping that they will make me whole again
Have I become a puppet doll
with my strings made of web
dancing to the insane tunes that play
with uncertainty at my stead
Have I gone insane
with all these thoughts I cannot drown out
all the ifs and buts that gather here
playing with riddles and doubt
I don't know myself anymore
or who I even am
will all the security I lost before
ever be regained in this shattered Inn
resonates my worries and fears
inside the caverns of my soul
beats cries of demon tears
Who am I to wander within
with this analytical mind
who am I to think upon
monsters and demons like pieces of art made refine
To gaze and ponder
to try and find meaning from the sin
that buried within these creatures
is a lie so delicious and grim
How can I turn away my mind
like I turn away my head
to think upon the bright starry light
shinning from afar within
My soul is made of puzzle pieces
my heart a Jenga wall
how high I thought I was
And how low I feel I have to fall
My emotions are like potions
brewing from all the lies and truths
yet I drink them like a drunk at his favorite booth
hoping that they will make me whole again

Have I gone insane

0 A Deep Sadness, poem
A deep sadness abides inside
that words can not express
and it chips away at my side
at the clothes in which I'm dressed
I send prayers in bottles
upon the air that rests like waves
and I throw them so hard into the abyss
they skip along for days
Emotions swells within
that are not wanting to be erased
and I don't know how to replace these thoughts inside
that covers my eyes like mace
Let my soul be carried like a sail
upon the heavens that are peaceful and still
let my soul be carried upon the waves
that rocks me to and fro out of this maze
that words can not express
and it chips away at my side
at the clothes in which I'm dressed
I send prayers in bottles
upon the air that rests like waves
and I throw them so hard into the abyss
they skip along for days
Emotions swells within
that are not wanting to be erased
and I don't know how to replace these thoughts inside
that covers my eyes like mace
Let my soul be carried like a sail
upon the heavens that are peaceful and still
let my soul be carried upon the waves
that rocks me to and fro out of this maze

0 Colliding Lullaby, poem
She looks at me with her gray and colored eyes
like a dog that is trying to recognize color
and she stares at me with those unknowing eyes
of why my heart is so asunder
And my eyes can't help but cry out to her
for her to repeat back my inner pain
reflect what's deep inside of my mind
and show me that she understands the emotions in my tear drop eyes, just the same
How deep the pain is
When you feel all alone
that those eyes that you love ever so, doesn't know why
know why your eyes aren't the same that she has known
Why your eyes aren't the same as old pictures have shown
why your mind doesn't see the same rain as hers does
how your eyes doesn't remember the sound of rainfall as hers does
how your blood just flows alcohol unlike hers does
Just want her to know how it feels to have lost control
just want her to comprehend how it feels to worry over and over again
just want her to understand and reflect back a song
A song turned into a colliding lullaby, where her life collides with mine
like a dog that is trying to recognize color
and she stares at me with those unknowing eyes
of why my heart is so asunder
And my eyes can't help but cry out to her
for her to repeat back my inner pain
reflect what's deep inside of my mind
and show me that she understands the emotions in my tear drop eyes, just the same
How deep the pain is
When you feel all alone
that those eyes that you love ever so, doesn't know why
know why your eyes aren't the same that she has known
Why your eyes aren't the same as old pictures have shown
why your mind doesn't see the same rain as hers does
how your eyes doesn't remember the sound of rainfall as hers does
how your blood just flows alcohol unlike hers does
Just want her to know how it feels to have lost control
just want her to comprehend how it feels to worry over and over again
just want her to understand and reflect back a song
A song turned into a colliding lullaby, where her life collides with mine

3 Christian poem about faith
Our relationship will stand strong
like watching a sunrise spring fourth
from the darkness we've known for so long
We shall wait for God's love
to touch and ripple throughout our lives
like a rock upon still water
within the weakness we will become strong
Like a prayer sent up to heaven
like a praise sprouted out in song
our eyes will become stronger
with each flash of dawn
Our bond will grow like sunflowers
with our lives becoming a trail of seeds
that drops upon the earth
and sprouts fourth good deeds
Our hunger will become spiritual
our cries will turn into praise
like the thunder that calls out in the heavens
lightening will fuel our days
Let us be as lightening rods
in a dark world that has gone astray
let us glorify God
as tribulations drops like rain
like watching a sunrise spring fourth
from the darkness we've known for so long
We shall wait for God's love
to touch and ripple throughout our lives
like a rock upon still water
within the weakness we will become strong
Like a prayer sent up to heaven
like a praise sprouted out in song
our eyes will become stronger
with each flash of dawn
Our bond will grow like sunflowers
with our lives becoming a trail of seeds
that drops upon the earth
and sprouts fourth good deeds
Our hunger will become spiritual
our cries will turn into praise
like the thunder that calls out in the heavens
lightening will fuel our days
Let us be as lightening rods
in a dark world that has gone astray
let us glorify God
as tribulations drops like rain

Insanity is like a persistent, nagging lover that takes you into the sweet bed of madness, and strips you of your humanity.

0 What would you do, game: 2
I've always enjoyed hypotheticals/what-ifs; so much so that, I consider it a form of an intellectual game/entertainment. I never had anyone to play it with when I was younger, which comes to why I posted this:
I will post a hypothetical scenario, and then, you give your response with your reasoning as to why you would do that...
Simple enough?
Scenario 2:
While you are sleeping, someone breaks into your home (stealthily), they go upstairs and abducts your 13 year old girl/boy, and they make off with him/her into the night. When you do finally wake up to use the restroom, you wake by her/his room and find him/her missing... You search the house and found out that someone else was in here (your home) and that she/he is gone.
Then, you call the police, they scour the city, but to no prevail - she/he is not to be found. They search your home for clues and come up with a clue: a strange brand of candy wrapper lying beneath the bed of his/her room (but not so strange that she couldn't have gotten it from school).
But this is a big clue to you, if not the police, because you know of someone who eats those exact ones: your neighbor a couple blocks down. You know that he makes a lot of money, yet he never goes to work. You know that he has been friendly with your daughter/son and always seems to stare at him/her. So, you press the cops to search him/talk to him- and they do.
After talking to them, they come up with nothing, don't think he did it at all. He has an alibi (don't they all), and that he was home with is wife during that time (She even admits to making love to him all night long.)
It's been a couple days now, nothing is progressing, no clues, your certain that your neighbor did it.
What do you do?
Keep in mind that:
1. the police said they won't help you any further with him (he didn't do it): they will find her/him and follow all other leads.
2. Seems that the neighbor just got a lot of money recently, he is dressed in more expensive clothes than normal.
3. There are no other clues, and it's doubtful that anyone will call the hotline for a tip.
Take care,

1 What would you do, game: 1
Scenario 1:
Your on a date (trying to enjoy the evening night out, yes evening...) on a sailboat trying to fix your relationship with your fiancee; then the unthinkable happens, she hits her head on the boat and falls in during a mysterious patch of rough waves (you knew you shouldn't have gone out this late.) But at last! She was the only one that could swim... Even so, the water was so dark, you couldn't see a thing... Moreover, if she did end up dead, you would surely be blamed by the family (out of means of revenge) for killing her! By golly... They never did like you...
Keep in mind that:
1. You can't swim
2. The water is too dark.
3. Time is tick-toking as you try to think.
4. The family has a wealth of witnesses to testify against your character.
5. On top of that, they have phone conversations of you not at your best...Diabolical...

0 Sometimes I Wonder about the Power of Words, question
Sometimes I wonder about the power of words (since my blog is a spiritual panoply of literature), and if my writings have changed lives... If that change has been for the better or worst... If I've added any spiritual value, in which, this life we live... A lot of powerful questions that anyone should consider, very philosophical in nature.
Can one man really bring the fall of a nation, or reach/lift people out of the depths of poverty... You see nothing but greed in our society, and that greed is praised above all else. Companies have become kingdoms unto itself, and families have become dictatorships; how can our civilization/society survive in such turbulent/ambivalent times as these. Surely, a fall is coming if we don't change.
People like to blame the Devil/demons for all of our problems, but the reality of the matter is: we are just as evil to the core as such creatures. We've flourished and enriched the darkness within ourselves to a sinister/monstrous level of art; how are people be so blind... We have solutions/answers/remedies/knowledge that could help so many in ruin/despair, yet we choose not to act upon it, not to do it, and for what? Technicalities, probabilities, exceptions that we conjure/dream up to not act. We've got people dying from health problems; yet, most of these problems are treatable/curable; and to what end? Because of financial/monetary reasons, reasons of selfishness and disdain. What do they see in the mirror, when they look upon it...
We've got ways of growing crops of food, land which could be cultivated, energy and passion, but to what end? Do we put it to where it counts? No, people are left hungry/starving, and in ruin; starving from the greed of our monetary system; a system that has turned the abundant resources that God has provided, and turned it to scarce resource beyond many's reach.
This is the nature of human beings, and many more such examples could be quickly thought of/spoken. We've taken a world that could be as close to heaven as humanly possible, and made it into a hell for those that don't benefit from it/fit in.
People who we support have become billionaires, leaders of elaborate businesses/empires- and what do they do with their money? Do they put it back into the system to benefit humankind? Do they use it to solve the problems of our world? Do they do anything but horde/save their wealth as some form of demented trophies... To what end will people continue to produce such endeavors/people? What level of hypocrisy have we sunk to? And it is certain to get far worst.
We see human people/homeless people; we label them with degrading vulgarity: what do they think/comprehend when they act/reflect upon themselves? We have racism/hatred, over such silly things as: hair color, clothes, just about anything you can come up with- yet, it still seems to flourish just the same... We shield our eyes from the caustic nature of ourselves, and cover it up with improper tidings of humor/of improper conducts... And each generation seems to be getting more elaborate, worst, and life has become something subjective (not tangible or sustainable). Where are we heading? Do enough people ponder such realities/such life...
This has been your: Food for Thought,

2 My Personal Quandary
I've been contemplating how I fit into this world, and came across a personal quandary:
How can I come up with ideas/thoughts/logistics that fits into this world (belongs), and yet, I don't belong in this world itself as a tangible person? How can I share similarities in personality, spirit, and mind with others in this life, and yet, they don't see me as apart of it? Very deep and interesting/provoking thoughts. Similar to my logic a long time ago: If you're a Christian, love Jesus, you will be assured to be loved by other fellow Christians (since they love Jesus as well)...How naive I was...
I started thinking about this off and on for a while now: that people as fiction are accepted (but not their real counterparts). And it proposes an interesting question: Why this and not that... Could the subtle differences about people really deprive them of a substantial life. Could thinking this way- verses that, really cause a disharmonious ripple throughout your life. Could the superficiality of how you say it, destroy the value of what you said? Life is very transient...Very endearing of itself. Would authors/poets have been just as accepted if we personally knew them in real life? Or, is it just the thought that someone takes in, twists to their own outlook, that gets accepted...
And this leads to even more questions: I think that philosophical questions, are just questions that infinitely springs fourth more questions about yourself/your reality. People always degrades others based on financial income, as if monetary worth equates spiritual worth (and by proxy, your worth in this life). Why is that? Is that just another way to put yourselves on pedestals, while demeaning others. Could someone really make a substantial amount of income, if they are not accepted in any form in this life (don't provide something that would be accepted). It's not about the worth of what you give, but the worth of what other's deem it: that is what it all boils down too.
I leave you with this: Food for Thought

I started thinking about this off and on for a while now: that people as fiction are accepted (but not their real counterparts). And it proposes an interesting question: Why this and not that... Could the subtle differences about people really deprive them of a substantial life. Could thinking this way- verses that, really cause a disharmonious ripple throughout your life. Could the superficiality of how you say it, destroy the value of what you said? Life is very transient...Very endearing of itself. Would authors/poets have been just as accepted if we personally knew them in real life? Or, is it just the thought that someone takes in, twists to their own outlook, that gets accepted...
And this leads to even more questions: I think that philosophical questions, are just questions that infinitely springs fourth more questions about yourself/your reality. People always degrades others based on financial income, as if monetary worth equates spiritual worth (and by proxy, your worth in this life). Why is that? Is that just another way to put yourselves on pedestals, while demeaning others. Could someone really make a substantial amount of income, if they are not accepted in any form in this life (don't provide something that would be accepted). It's not about the worth of what you give, but the worth of what other's deem it: that is what it all boils down too.

1 The Got Milk of Condom Ads
So, I had this dream last night with a segment (I just woke up from a moment ago) that would make the perfect "Got Milk of condom ads..." You may be wondering, why would you have the perfect ad for condoms while dreaming? That is just how my mind works :P (Or, they already have telepathic advertising through some form of demented technology...) Regardless, this is how it went, and I'll let you be the judge...
It starts with a guy in a gas station convince aisle (not sure why it matters that it was a gas station like store, lol), and he is all discombobulated and moving around with Saran Wrap out of view underneath the camera angle (this is a crucial part of the story...lol.) He is messing around with green Saran Wrap (this is also crucial, don't ask why it matters that it was green, lol), and as you come to find out, he had just made himself a super hero outfit out of the green Saran Wrap (full with an aerodynamic cape, with the right weight and air flow (this is important as well...)) And he is standing all proud of himself, with the pose of a self-indulgent super hero that has just accomplished something "Great", when, you realize just as he does, that the only area not covered is his...Personal area down below (lol); then it shows a short period of shame (perhaps in slow motion, lol) and has a textual and voice overlay, that goes: Got Protection...
Whew, what a weird idea to pop into my head while dreaming...

1 Are you a Christian? Commentary
Are You a Christian...
...that believes the Bible to be the inspired word of God?
This is an interesting question- I really hate calling myself a Christian because of the stigma associated with it (Maybe hate is too strong of a wrong, lol). A lot of Christians have lived the exact opposite of Christ and yet, calls themselves Christians; for this reason, I dislike the term as abused by others. What I rather say is: I adhere to be Christ-like :) Or, I believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost and try to follow His teachings.
In any event, I strayed from the question: yes, I believe that the Bible is the Word of God, but, lately I rely more on the knowledge that the Holy Ghost provides me with (that lives inside of me). When you have the Holy Ghost inside of you, you can gain insight from Him, and gain help with reasonings that are circumstantial in nature (or in conflict).
As a tip for other Christians, the greatest commandment from God is to love; I think that no matter what the sin, no matter what the disagreement, we should fall back on love to bridge ourselves with others. For example, it would be silly to not help someone on Sabbath day, just because you are suppose to rest.

2 Pro-life commentary
I'm very oppose to abortions/stem cell research, and find it appalling that people consider it a choice argument, over a life argument. I would make it illegal at any stage to terminate a life (only under certain, rare medical conditions, should their ever be a choice involved). And at conception, there is life developing (whether you believe it or not, a catalyst has started which started the process).
And, no one can argue that if left undisturbed, the life would continue to form throughout the processes (unless stopped by a cause of some form). You can argue that the life-form could naturally abort itself through a miscarriage, or through some natural/accidental means: but, such reasoning is outside the scope of the argument. The whole reason for abortion is to terminate the life that is growing inside of a woman (So clearly, the life-form is alive and abortion is the act of terminating life; if it would terminate on it's own accord, there would be no need for an abortion.)
So then, the argument would go to: the life-form isn't fully develop- so, it isn't considered an intelligent/conscious life-form (like a bacteria, or virus, or plant). This is where our morality/ethics would come in, take over. There is no way to determine when a life has a soul/or proven that we even have a soul. So, it is nearly impossible to say with scientific certainty, if by ending the life's development, we are also terminating a self-aware, conscious, or spiritual entity. This is when our values take over through assumptions and personal insight.
I like to treat it in a simpler context: if left undisturbed, without dangerous interactions, a left form would continue it's development to becoming a new-born baby. The act of abortion, is the termination of a life at early stages of development, and the reasoning behind it: is destructive, selfish, and irresponsible. So, for me, it becomes more about the rational behind the matter, and the consequences of the act, rather than, the merits of the life's right's to live (although, those rights are just as important).
The choice argument really bothers me on multiple levels. If it really was a personal choice, no other life-forms would be involved. Our right to chose is offsetted by our interference with another's rights. Therefore, it makes no sense from a logical/intellectual standpoint. If there was a right to chose, it would only have been: when they choose to have sexual intercourse (or, lack there of a choice: in cases of rape and forced conception). In case of the former, a malicious act doesn't negate another victims rights (the life-form that is developing). It doesn't suddenly give someone else the right to commit a likewise heinous act. Therefore, I don't know how it ever became legalized.
In any event, these are my thoughts on the matter, and you have yours.

0 Medicare, Social Security cuts, Commentary
Where our country is heading is starting to get ridiculous (sadly so); They want to start making cuts to the Social Security/Medicare system (seeking 4 trillion dollars worth of funds (perhaps, elsewhere too- not sure)) in order to not default on our nation's debt, sigh; the same debt that, most likely, involved the bailout of corporations and businesses that misused funds. Some would say that Obama is bluffing (as if this was a poker game) with the lives of our people over tax hikes, but, would that make it any better? What if they call his bluff (if it even is one) what then? Sigh.
What will happen to all the elderly, all the disabled, all the people who depend on the small, monthly checks that they get from the government for their livelihood; the people who depend on medicare for their insurance. Are we going to start seeing elderly homeless, disabled homeless, people dying left and right, if this came to past?
Of course, they would never suggest that: the politicians and government officials that makes over a certain amount be cut, which would be the logical choice; they make far to much already, but, the question remains: will anyone do anything about it? You always hear people complaining about the amount of spending and paychecks that the government uses every day, yet you never see anyone doing anything to regulate it. We are suppose to be a country for the people/by the people/for the people, yet, our freedoms are slipping away from us; so, what do we do?

0 Casey Anthony's Verdict, commentary
After only 11 hours of deliberating (the jury), arrived at a decision of not guilty (yet, found her guilty of lying- how ironic): how short is that. I, for one, think that Casey Anthony is guilty. Regardless of all the technical babble and alternate explanations of evidence, Casey Anthony took over a month to report that her daughter was missing, she then didn't even report it (her mom did), She then had incriminating evidence on her computer about ways to kill someone, she then was partying and got a tattoo that said: the good life, all of this during the time that her daughter was missing, she then gave the police false information (that she knew was false), She then gives a story about being raped by her Father/or brother in court for sympathy (I suspect) for an explanation as to the delay, she then comes up with an obviously fabricated story (in my view) about her Father finding her daughter's body in the pool (where she supposedly drowned). If this doesn't give someone reasonable doubt that they killed their daughter (who was found within miles of her home, when she was suppose to be on vacation somewhere far away) I don't know what will. It sure gives me reasonable doubt.
There was also a problem with the way that the jury was chosen, for me at least. Since this case was such a public one, they had to find impartial jurors (sounds reasonable); but, they didn't do just that, they purposely choose people that followed the very perfection of what a juror should be. It was far too regulated and coerced for my liking. When you treat someone like they are impartial to begin with, when you regulate them to the very, paper book, ideals of what a jury is (and far beyond that), separate them from the world for prolonged periods of time, when you tell them to go with nothing but the evidence (when reasonable doubt can be based on more than technicality) then you are left with a jury that is far more unlikely to render a guilty verdict (which is exactly what I think happened).
Therefore I propose this: if you did this special treatment for every case there is, would you reach the same outcomes? Would the outcomes be more just? Or, would the perceptions and impartiality of the case be skewed by doubt and pressure placed upon them?
This is just my opinion, if you have yours, then you are entitled to it.

And, on a side note, I find it comical that there are so many restrictions on the Fourth of July, when, the Fourth is about independence and freedom. Diabolical,

0 ER Monstrosity, Complaint
It all started with my fiancee having
stomach pains and needing to use the restroom around 2:30am on June
30th. She went downstairs to use the restroom and discovered that the
toilet water was filled with maroon/bright red blood from her rectum.
It looked serious to myself and my uncle, who checked with her, to
see how much blood that she had lost and the color; she has never had
this quantity of blood lost before. She has had previous rectal
bleeding, what, typically, a hemorrhoid would normally do, but
nothing this extreme. It has been off and on for about 4 months.
Afterwords, we debated on going for
pure financial concerns and contemplated about the severity of the
condition, but at last: we aren't doctors; we wanted to be safe, so,
we took her into the emergency room.
She was in considerable amounts of pain
throughout her stomach/ovaries and was very concern about her rectal
bleeding; we were directed towards the first window to have the
information about our visit gathered; the man taking the information
was polite and sensible, and wished my fiancee her best: that she
would get better. Also, he tagged her wrist with an informational
band (her name, information, and so on...)
We went to sit in the waiting area of
the emergency room for about 5 minutes, before the nurse came out to
see my fiancee. My fiancee wanted me to go with her, because she
distastes hospitals and wanted moral support: so, I went with her
into the emergency room. Her assigned nurse directed her to wait in
room: 4, of the emergency ward (The emergency ward looked abandoned,
almost).
The nurse asked my fiancee about her
medical information and seemed to listen to her; although, she isn't
writing anything down but her name, and date, and other non-medical
information at this point. As I watched her take down the
information, I noticed at the end: there was, but, two measly lines
of medical data on the form. Then, the nurse states that she will
leave a container to collect a pee sample for her, in case she uses
the restroom, and she will be back to collect it. And, this is
when/where the trouble erupts.
10 minutes later, my fiancee needs to
use the restroom and pees into the container (the nurse never offered
her any pleasantries/necessities like: napkins/towelettes for her
hands afterwords.) And then, we waited for a considerable amount of
time; such a prolong amount of time that, my fiancee jokingly
comments about: “the pee is going to ferment since it's been there
for so long” (by this time, it's been, maybe, 45 minutes to an
hour).
Someone was at the door again, it was
the doctor. The doctor asked her about her condition (vaguely); it
was: “what seems to be the problem,” then: “oh, that sounds
like constipation...” He never asked her any detailed oriented
questions about the rectal bleeding. He never tried to discover the
cause through a prognosis methodology. But, he did enjoy asking her
about her financial information and sexual activity (more than once).
No, he just told her/assumed that it wasn't anything dangerous based
on age and went with that assumption throughout the examination (if
you would call it that). He manhandles/prods at her stomach with
considerable force with his hands: by, pressing down on where she
just described/stated her pain was. He then, proceeds to tell her
that it is just constipation, but, he will give her some tests.
By this time, we were unhappy with how
things was going, and, talking with ourselves about the need for them
to take the pee, the next time they come back.
After another prolonged period of,
maybe 30 minutes or so, the nurse comes back to collect the pee, and
take it down to the lab. Then, she comes back to do the blood-work
for her. This is where the torment begins. My fiancee has veins that
likes to hide, she told them this from the beginning. She told them
which arm that they usually used to draw blood; but, instead of
taking blood from where she suggested, she took blood from a totally
different arm and area altogether... And, it went like this:
She stuck her with a needle in her left
arm (bottom-upper vein) and nothing came out. Then, she preceded to
move the needle in 90 degree rotations, going in and out, trying to
catch a vein to draw blood from. After about 30 minutes of prodding,
there was a small amount of blood dripping down her arm- not into the
needle. She wiped the blood with the needle still in her, acted like
she got something (when it was obvious that she hadn't) and told her
that she was going to flush it. So, she takes this device that looks
like an air pump, and pumps pressure into her; no doubt, this was no
fun for my fiancee. Then, when she didn't get anything, she says
something, lightly, about her going for help and, never returns
again; Instead, another nurse (or, so I would hope) comes in to help
her. This is how it went:
He comes in like a bat out of hell,
doesn't mention anything to my fiancee, but: you look familiar, have
I taken your blood before... Then, he proceeds to wheel the bed
around, cracks up the bed to an abnormal amount of height (5 feet or
so) for someone to take blood, and starts manhandling her arm (he
wasn't that tall). He pokes her with the needle, very apathetically,
and gets no where (then, he does it again- without any luck). At this
point, I mention to him that she usually get's her blood drawn from
the top of her arm on her right. He acts very rude, like he is upset
with my suggestion, and vaguely looks at the veins in her hands and
where I mentioned. Then, without saying a word, pulls up the rail at
the side of the bed (so, she won't fall off) and storms out of the
room. And afterwords, another nurse comes in (this time, the
supervisor of the nurses on duty in the ER.) This is how it went:
“I heard that you were being abused
in here”, chuckle- not a promising introduction, to say the
least... Then, she starts to ask her all these personal questions, as
to form a rapport with her for their bad service... Then, She acts
like she found a good vein (obviously she hadn't) and pokes and prods
it to death. She continues to talk with her like they are friends
(but, it was obviously an act). By this time, 20 more minutes had
past. She, then, proceeds to ask her about her reason for being here,
and on her condition (she acts like they will get to the bottom of
it). Seeing how much pain my fiancee is in, I tell her about what my
fiancee initially said, that they normally use the top veins. She,
hesitantly, takes a look, feels around, and says that the vein is
stiff in that area from her past draws. Nevertheless, she sticks her
right there, instead of finding another vein around the area (which
was painful for my fiancee) and still gets no blood. She tells my
fiancee to blame this one on me, because she took my advice; She
tells her that she never sticks anyone more than twice, and leaves
(informs us that she will get a lab tech to take her blood-work).
Throughout all of these sticks, they
always tried to tape up the insertion area with Latex tape, which she
is allergic to; instead of asking her, like you would think they
would do, if she was allergic, my fiancee and I had to mention it 5+
times already to the nurses.
A lab tech finally arrives and takes
her blood-work. She draws the blood from the surrounding areas, just
like my fiancee had always said, and it goes a lot smoother. Her
blood coagulates because of the size of the needle, and the lab tech
takes blood from another area. The lab tech gets just enough blood
from her, and leaves to do the testing.
Note, that no one had offered her any
medication for the pain, all during this time... When they knew she
was hurting, that she rated the pain at 7 (at best) on their scale.
They never took her pain seriously, or condition seriously, and
brought her even more pain and torment...
Oh yea, another note, they were doing
generator drills throughout this visit. The power would, without any
notification, go on and off, on and off, every 30 minutes or so. How
fun! And, they act like she is crazy for being scared by it...
And yet another note, the supervisor
nurse comes back for a small time-period, to give my fiancee two
plush animals (since my fiancee had plush animals with her, to
comfort her). They obviously knew that they were doing her wrong, and
probably would continue to do her wrong: so, they offered her a
bribe... After that, we never seen the supervisor nurse again, never
checked up on her, never seen how she was doing, nothing...
A while later, another nurse comes into
the room, says that they are going to give her a pelvic examination:
and that, I should leave. Then, she changes it to: leave or stay, or
whatever I want (notice the mentality of these people that are
suppose to help you); All the while, my fiancee and I are of the
utmost manners. A little bit later, she cranks my fiancee up, spreads
her legs, and sets her up for the examination (without the curtains
drawn, without the doors fully shut, without any respect...) And this
goes on throughout the examination (entering and exiting without
modesty).
The doctor arrives, doesn't tell her
what is going to happen, doesn't tell her what he is going to do,
doesn't tell her what to expect, doesn't even acknowledge her. What
he does do, is comical at best, if it wasn't so serious... This is
how it went:
Sticks in a device that spreads her
open, with a light attacked to it. Now, here is where the fun
begins... Proceeds to have the device fall apart, doesn't know how
to put it back together, asks the nurse how it works, and fumbles and
drops things (exactly what I was thinking). Once he got situated, I
kid you not, this is something that would come out of a deranged
writer's mind: says, “Cervix, what is this popping out and moving,
take a look, oh...” Now, if that doesn't inspire the greatest
confidence and respect for a doctor, I don't know what will...
Then, he takes these long Q-tips (how
fun) and jabs them into her for samples... Yes, shoves and jabs...
What fun? And manhandles her down there. She is in agonizing pain
(she's been diagnosed with painful periods: which she told them
about) and they don't even bat an eye-lash, ask what is wrong, or
show any gentlemen attributes; all along, the nurse looks at her with
disgust and acts like she is crazy. Yes, the nurse actually watches
her in pain, and says nothing. And, what's even more comical,
afterwords, asks: “what now doctor?” If you think that trained
monkeys could do a better job at this, you would be correct. It was
like a demented circus: a cross between a Stephen King's novel and
the Rocky Horror Show... If you seen the movie, you know exactly what
I mean.
Then, if that wasn't enough, he was
like: well, while we are done here, why don't we take a look at her
anal region (Yes, the very anal region where the problem was actually
located.) So, he shoves her body upward (when she told them that she
had a pain in her tailbone) and shoved a device into her ass (which I
was unaware was unlubed) Sigh, yes, you heard me correctly. Can it
get any funner you may ask...Yes, yes it can...
After about 5 seconds, says that there
was no blood, there was nothing wrong, and that she may have
hemorrhoids. Oh yea, did I mention that he looked at his watch during
the examination (someone needed to get off soon). Then, they set her
back to normal and left the room in a fast fashion.
By this time, my fiancee is just almost
in tears, and leaning to her side, feeling almost violated, and all I
could do was comfort her. How sad, I know.
Later on, the doctor came back, said
that she had no Std's (Doesn't take a rocket science to know that, or
does it? She already told him that she was sexually inactive) And
that, after looking at her, he can find nothing wrong with her, but
the fact she might have a fissure or hemorrhoids... But, this is the
part you had to be their to appreciate. He said it in such a
half-assed, apathetic way, without concern or remorse, without a
clue, that you have to wonder if he is even a real doctor, or,
perhaps, a drunk on the streets... And, as you would imagine, he did
it with shrugs (I knew you would enjoy that one.)
Not only were we unhappy with the
diagnosis (if you can call it that), but he didn't even know what he
was doing; and, was halfway out the door. Did I mention earlier that,
he didn't even know what Etodolac was? What type of doctor doesn't
know what Etodolac is... In any event, I had to ask him more about
her problems. So, I said, “Would hemorrhoids cause such maroon
colored blood, and in those quantities?” His response was: “I
don't know, I don't know how much blood there was...” YES, you
heard me correctly; the very questions that he was suppose to ask
from the beginning, he still didn't know answers to (or even thought
about). The very information that we gave to all of those nurses that
drew the blood... So, he begins to bombard me with about 40 questions
in less then 2 minutes about her condition (Yes me, not her) and,
very testily, says, “Why don't we just call it hemorrhoids and call
it a day”. Yes, you heard me yet again, that was said. So, I asked
him again, “Couldn't the colon be a cause- I read that online?”
He was like: “sure, could be, we would have to do a test to
se...Wait, she doesn't have an IV, so...” Yes, you heard me right
yet again...
Then, in the next moments to come, he
said: why don't I come back when you reach a decision about what you
want to do; Then, comes in and out of the room 5 different times in
less than 1 minute (asking various questions about her condition).
And, then, says, “this has been going on for 4 months? That isn't
good, she needs to get seen by a stomach doctor; so, that is what we
are going to do.”
Then, the nurse comes back with
paperwork for her to sign, paperwork stating that she has hemorrhoids
and that she needs to follow up with a stomach doctor (one that she
has no money to pay, and has to find herself). I asked the nurse
about her pain (that she needs something, at least in pill form) She
goes, talks to the doctor, prescribes her something that she can't
afford (doesn't give her anything there) and sends us on our way.
Yes, sent without any medication...
While she is getting dressed, she says,
“I need more plush animals than this...”
Then, on our way out, not that the
horror was even over yet, we have to give information for billing to
the front desk. By this time, there was someone else there, a very
rude woman, that was apathetic and cold. She told her to sit down,
but my fiancee couldn't sit because of the pain (and torture that
they did to her). She said she had lots of information for her to
give to her. She asked about insurance and all that. Then, asked
about a phone number to reach us; we have no money, no jobs, and I am
disabled: so, we stated that we had no phone (it was the truth). She
scuffed at us, and said: what about for an emergency, what about this
and that. I said, “this isn't my phone, but you can leave messages
on it for emergencies and medical diagnosis.” She took it, and
said: that's all, looked away, and didn't give us a second thought.
Of course, they are probably going to use the phone number for
collection purposes (not medical), not emergencies which I gave it
under.
And, to end such a sad state of
affairs, after 5 hours of being there, she had to walk home because
there was no phone to use to call for a rid...
Do you think what they did was
malicious? I hope so... Now, she is going to owe thousands of dollars
unless something is done, and she will be unable to pay it. When she
asked the lady before exiting about financial help: she just scuffed
again, and said some half-assed response. When is our medical system
doing to get back on track (if it ever was) and start treating people
with respect and like human beings? Perhaps, if you are a dog, you
would have great medical (if your owners have the money, that is).
Then, the icing on the cake, she went
into the bathroom, wiped her anal region, and long behold: she was
still bleeding... The very opposite diagnosis of the doctor.
We went through all this suffering,
torment, and for nothing. If anything, her pelvic was even more
inflamed (20 times worst), her back hurts 10 times worst, and she was
even more worried. I contemplated while at home with my uncle: “what
if she/or someone has something very serious, gets sent home, and
wouldn't be able to go anywhere to get help...”
I leave this to you, as: food for
thought...
