Good or bad, I encourage everyone to post comments (constructive critics prefered) about what ever you may read below. I'm no great writer, but I have fun with it. Hope you enjoy. Editors NOTE: For the record...I have included some poems that I wrote while being in sad/dark places. Writting down those feelinigs and thoughts would help get perspective on being sad. So I included them just to say, if you have ever felt this way, you are not alone. Write your own feelings down. Read over them and maybe share them with someone you love/who loves you. Don't let it bottle up.

A Thought, a debate, and a T-shirt !

Simple I thought to think...
Well, it started out simple. Should I start bloggin daily? Should I share my thoughts with a world that most likely will not be reading....caring....even curious? Should I do it anyway? Should I consider it my time to talk to God and just by chance learn something new, learn something about myself, or even learn absolutely nothing but rather teach someone else something? Like how not to make a run on and on and on sentence.

I debate. The PROS...The CONS....the cold hard reality....can I really keep up....does it matter....just do it (no affiliation with Nike)....just say no (not a Nancy Reagan echo)....just shut up and dance (but stay off of my toes)....justice, just us, just.....what were we talking about???

So the debate goes no-where...yet here I am.
So much to do and so much desire to finish so much of it. So, much is not too much, is it?

Okay...time to move on...time to post this with a final thought.

I found this really cool web site to buy t-shirts from. Here's the 411 (for you kids who have never "dialed" 411, that means Information): "wwww.teefury.com" Graphics are Silk Screened - NOT iron ons. = good quality
Tees are only $9. ($2 shipping Flat rate) = good price (as of 06/01/11 $10 bucks now)
Tees are of Original design. = good for the Anti-cookie cutter look
Only one Tee is for sale each day (within a 24 hour period) = good for NOT having to look through hundreds and thousands of pics.....you just look at one for a few seconds and decide.
Once the 24 hour period is up, the Tee is GONE FOREVER. = no repeats of things you didn't want in the first place. Fair warning...this is a secular web site, and there are times that some t-shirts could be concidered offensive. I just close the window and check it out the next day. And understand that people who comment about the t-shirts could say something offensive. I have emailed t-fury and they have stated that they try to keep offensive language off the site, but it does happen.

You can ONLY purchase up to 3 Tees from any one login name. (think they cross reference mailing addresses too) = no on can buy hundreds and sell them elsewhere. = more originality in your tee-ware.
Unless you live in a big city where thousands are buying t-shirts everyday, it is most likely that a shirt you buy will practially be the only one for many miles. I think this is an exceptionally cool idea. I like originality. Maybe I'll post a pic of one I like later.

A few times in my life I have bought a graphic t-shirt that I thought really reflected my personality, sense of humor (sarcasm), sense of me, just to see someone I had absolutely nothing in common with wearing the same. Kind of makes one wonder if they know them self. Reality says that the cookie cutter type shirts are most often designed to appeal to the larger group of generic types. So obviously I am only one of many. BUT....now...I have thought this....is my desire here just about vanity....just some sense of wanting to be wearing that special item that is admired (or thought cool) in some way....Well DUH?!?

Was there something else?!

(Through Salvations Blood) "My Blind Eyes See"


The Fathers Plan ~ a virgins womb
A baby, Holy Ghost conceived
He came to save ~ from hells doom
All sinners who will believe

Crown of thorns ~ Blood stained brow
The driven nails in His hands and feet
All sin of man ~ the Father’s disavow
The Word of God prophecy complete

( chorus )
I close my eyes, imagine all that Jesus did and had to be
Through Salvations Blood my blind eyes see, it all
Is for me

The keys to hell ~ the tombs stone rolled away
The one that death could never hold
Raised from the dead ~ in heaven till the day
The Father shouts go, bring my children home

( chorus )
I close my eyes, imagine all that Jesus did and had to be
Through Salvations Blood my blind eyes see, it all
Is for me
(Repeat Chorus)
