If you are reading this on purpose congrats ya found me. If ya stumbled upon this welcome. This blog is part of my unquiet mind, part of an extention of finding a tiny piece of quiet if it does exsist out there. A calm a sense of inner peace where pain of my body drifts away if only for a moment and the light dims to the perfect shade and I Jenn- am just that Jenn- a woman who is able to think without a foggy cluttered mind.

He placed the tray in the middle of the table.

Pulling out her chair

Gave a sigh of relief

In his mind thought, "I'm still able"

Gently taking her tiny wrinkled hand guiding her as she took her place in the chair.

Her smile the same as it had been for what seemed years.

He took his seat across the table,

The wrinkles in on his face showed many years that had passed now.

They had shared everything for so many years, they seemed to know nothing else.

They were one.

This had to be what it felt like to live in a painting that would never fade.

As they swallowed a handfull of afternoon pills that kept them alive for a time they smiled,

Smiles that hadn't changed in all the years they had known together.

Years through growing through fights, unending bliss, children, children's impossible moments, grandchildren, war and so very much more.

Eventually there would be an end.

But for now they still smile, they love they live in their painting that never fades.

Really? "OOPS there goes gravity"

From time to time I love a good quote a movie, a song, a poem, or a random thought that someone happens to spit out. Now days do many songs have that many original lyrics well scratches that "back beats" Talking about rap. It's rather disappointing really some of it is really good but..where is the heart in the rap, the soul? The words come out but the beats well they are not their own and frankly these are sad times. So I suppose a quote is a great form of flattery and so should stealing 'back beats" and even "lyrics" But come on Wycliff Jean and Kenny Rogers WTF the Gambler was NEVER meant to be a rap and believe me it IS KENNY ROGERS. Take a listen HE changes it up. I'm just sayin' :) Anyway the moral to the story is these days more than ever the old music the good stuff is now the new stuff proving that what goes around always comes around and I hope the artist of yester year are making shit tons of money!(Eminem is making mad cash and he duplicates a lot of old stuff .) Because most of them are probably broke by now. :)

By The Way: I love the way you lie is a song about abuse! Not a Christian song! The kids that came up with that idea need to watch the video again and the parents too! It brings to light a message Listen and hear the LYRICS!!! Have a talk with your children! He threatens to kill them both in the end. Abuse is no matter that should ever be misunderstood for something of beauty. For something that is cool. As some of us know and many teens and children know it hurts on so many levels and you never lose that hurt. It's an amazing truthful song and a beautiful one at that, easy to be misunderstood by teens. LISTEN AGAIN and hear it kids and again parents just listen to music with your kids and when they have questions talk with them! That's what we are here for. Even if you don't enjoy their music listen anyway. Sometimes you might find you do and then you may find common ground to stand on. Be there, listen, talk!

And so begins it begins anew

The video posted below is something to be heard as the message is clear, many teens and even adults feel this way today. Has God become something of an invisible being that is no longer part of lives in this younger generation, have many of the people in my generation stopped asking stopped praying? Maybe. And if so does it mean this will be the end? Who knows I think we don't know preachers, pastors, and so on well they are but men and they read words from a book written by men so we put our faith in men who preach the word of God and Jesus. Before you people out there get all in an uproar and fall on the floor thinking I am some sort of non-believer please get this NOT SO! We are in the days and times where people look upon the world shaking their heads in disbelief wondering where is God now? Oh and all the good men and women where are they I ask? The polite people ya know excuse me, please, thank you and so on....then what a great bunch of kids we are raising! WOW!!!!! Need I really say more, however how much of it is just truly the kids? Listen to the kids in this video and then ask yourself that question! Parents don't brag enough, they don't brag enough even about the mediocrity in the smallest of accomplishments! Or praise kids when they are like yo check it I made an awesome track today (and really they have zero skills) But you dance to the beat in THEIR head and heart because they are growing into who they are they will know soon enough that they are not rappers. That is just a small example. Not every kid will be a super athlete, a brainiac, artist, pop star, the way I see it let them figure it out it's hard to try not to push as well we should guide but guide gently. Teach them to have faith, but allow them to believe in God and when the question God allow it that is part of growing up in this cruel world today. If they believe for a while in just the music allow it but never stop talking, our kids need us they need to know there is something out there bigger than all of us. I believe in music! It is VERY important in my life but I also believe it is a gift. Believe and teach your babies no matter how old they get, that life is beautiful and we are closer to the edge right now but your hand is ALWAYS there to keep them from falling!
