    <content type="html">to describe how i feel for you. everytime i think of you, i get angry. i think, how can anyone ever harm you or anyone like you?&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;want to protect you, to stand up for you, i look at you i see a beautiful portrait i dare not touch in fear of the colors running at my hand... i see more than just a girl, or skin, or flesh or whatever it is these other clowns see. i see a heart, a soul, and lover of this planet. this green gift the heavens have gave us. through sand, wind, and time we are here. i see you, my queen of this planet, perched on your ledge, your hillside cliff. staring down upon all your glorious creatures whom you wish you could preserve. I&amp;nbsp;stand there with you, at your side, always. you may not always see me, but im there... hear me in the wind... you've heard it all before, the dark painting i see, of your eyes...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what am i trying to say?&amp;nbsp;I know what's up, what it du, what the deal, i know how you feel alright?&amp;nbsp;doesn't mean it automatically makes me awesome or hay we can relate, no. i'm just letting you know, i've felt this way for a very long time. if it isn't obvious from my history of entries here, then I&amp;nbsp;don't know what else I can tell you to prove to you that... i really care for this planet. I believe in the Sun, Moon, and Earth that gives me life. Who else does, physically, literally?&amp;nbsp;God?&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;havent seen his ass around to guide his herd. sounds like a flock of shit to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;imma protect you, the planet, my family, and everyone. im going to be the difference...&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the difference between us and them?&amp;nbsp;we don't follow them. we follow our own path. I'm glad we share the same fork in the road, remember? well tell you what my lil candle in the wind, don't let that flame die out yet. i still have so much i want to share with you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my intentions?&amp;nbsp;to be happy with one of the greatest girls i have ever met/laid my eyes on. aside from being amazingly beautiful on the outside, your molten hot core zaps me to dust. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;if you've read this far, thanks... i mean every word... i'm not like those other people, i never have been. the isolation and suffering is over. i will rise up again, not by the fall of others around me, but on my own. you've been doing pretty good so far picking yourself back up. im gonna keep helping you until these training wheels of mine are gone, sounds good? maybe we can ride the dusty trail sooner than we think. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;peace out to planet earth lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br type="_moz" /&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;The roads are paved and the communications are high. You will be swallowed in the masses, irregardless of choice. You contribute to it everyday. Everything you chose, you wear, you say, you love, you learn, you hate, you are. You have no choice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what do you have to lose? What's the point of even feeling guilt? Jump on the wagon we're watching the band play tonight. After all these years, the wand of fear. Before endless nights and days reigned, now we reside to be blamed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A rich and true world where ignorance is the charade we play.

    <content type="html">another entry here today, for the world to see, oh the misery.&amp;nbsp;the same sad old song, the same said&amp;nbsp;told stories. the open thoughts of an open heart typing without thinking to show them all. here it is, i pour my&amp;nbsp;soul. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;with such strong&amp;nbsp;convinctions i dont have the faintest prediction of what is and what will come to be. i can only improve on&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;life i have left and i didnt lose, to&amp;nbsp;make myself a happier future. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so there was this girl, she was so far away. so far away i dont even know if i will be able to finish the book. i was planning on writing a book about her and our&amp;nbsp;relationship, the love so distantly shared across vast plains and&amp;nbsp;lakes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so let me figure this out... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this is all for you to see. even though no one&amp;nbsp;will probably ever read this. even though i am&amp;nbsp;alone and stand&amp;nbsp;here with words in vain. i search and continue to ponder&amp;nbsp;upon thoughts mislead by doubts and fears, and wonder if this will ever fucking end. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i am happy, confident, cool, and assertive.&amp;nbsp;passive, humorous, and inteligent beyond words fair. yet, i am alone, once again without the one to hold my hand.&amp;nbsp;even so, i have never been there, there was&amp;nbsp;always the distance as a key factor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what's left to say, let me figure this out... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;while everyone is so caught&amp;nbsp;up,&amp;nbsp;in their drama, money, and greed. selfishness, anger, blame to be put on&amp;nbsp;everyone but the wicked. i am here, yes i am here. in a room, in a house, all alone. and having myself&amp;nbsp;doesnt seem that bad. in fact, it isnt... haha &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it's sad. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;try not to&amp;nbsp;think too much&amp;nbsp;darling, you might worry yourself senseless...&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i am the best at ruining my life...</content>

I don&amp;rsquo;t want to one-up anyone and feel no need to attempt to fill a void that is tarnished by a false sense of insecurity. The desire to do well for others is bounded by a system. A system bent on feeding poison to the populace to gain ultimate power. Small doses over long periods of time bring confusion and radiation. Transformation from Earthly naturalist to a parasitic zombie.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri"&gt;Cancerous intuition.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri"&gt;Are my dreams my only escape from this reality? Even so, dreams as a drug make me shrug my shoulders as times passes and I grow older. I slept all and experienced visions of warped subconscious desires. A dream changing second by second. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;The souls of the tormented feed on my energy and confuse me. As if I am running through a labyrinth where hopes and fears fluxgate. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri"&gt;Fall asleep with a smile and wash the nightmares away.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

A dilemma under foreword procedures. Persuade the days to proactively proclaim there&amp;rsquo;s all the shame in fame as there&amp;rsquo;s just the same in unknown status.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri"&gt;A question is asked once again as artists exclaim fears of insecurity and demand brainwashing presentation. You are told to be cold and are sold solemnly fainted words for no one is bound by the grip of the mold. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri"&gt;Shaping a character is not as complex as you may think. Manipulation is a short step away from a catchy rhythm or beat. Where the east meets the west the dead lay to rest as the crusaders make haste to harness weapons of waste. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri"&gt;Nowhere is the place I can&amp;rsquo;t picture a face in an out of control race. For the best of the less cause chaos in a world of hate. Destruction longs for a cure as we lure the populace into the muse. Abuse the habit until we all lose. A loss of character raped by&amp;hellip;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri"&gt;A blinded third-eye slows the motion of time as the minutes skip by we sink into the lives. Vicarious visions of imperfect manifestations designed to provoke and allure a stimulus unguided searching for the loop. A circle, a sphere to turn the murky waters clear and fear, oh fears, captivates a yearly routine into the vortex. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri"&gt;Tripping over itself as a lost ghost is the host for uncharted experiments with drugs and apathetic attempts to find clarity wince. An endless flow which, it feels, as if no other knows forever pours from my soul with no offset to delay the expectant fa&amp;ccedil;ade of the decade in a mere moral elongation of pain. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri"&gt;The future of the environment is a joke. Shop, spend, solicit ate, until the end. So you&amp;rsquo;re broke? Break the law to achieve your possessions within hands reach. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri"&gt;A teacher strives to share speech as students, on or off, call it what you want it will never end. A run-on for a write-off is a fair exchange beyond the range of a sonar we call external sensory aggressions. Give it a break. Make it a rest. Turn tears into perspiration, fake the notion of fate.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small"&gt;&lt;font face="Calibri"&gt;At this rate, anyway it turns out, we&amp;rsquo;re too late.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">very seldomly do i take the time to write anything in here for me. i won't lie, usually it is for someone other than myself to read and hopefully take my words to heart. i find it harder each and every day to drive on. i am really pushing myself to accomplish short and long term goals. mainly goals that i will reach when i leave iraq.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sadly enough, today, it rained here in iraq. mud, everywhere. good thing i have boots to kick the shit off on some wooden planks. it was beautiful. such a hot place for such a humid acid rain. i dont know what to think anymore of what this world is coming to. i try not to think of it. i strive not to think, at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so what card am i going to play today? who am i going to be? when i awaken confused and tempered after a long nights sleep, i feel baffled and scattered trying&amp;nbsp;to smile knowing i can brush my teeth. i am almost sure i am done thinking, done worrying and waiting for something to happen. i am getting to the point where i realize i have to make it happen. i have to do things to get things done.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this has been quite a journey for me, these past four years or so. in two weeks it is my twenty first birthday. the perspective i shared back then, reading some of my entries, has changed so much. i dont feel half of the ways i used to, if not, less then half.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;if the one thing that keeps me going, is knowing that love is the most powerful emotion in the universe. and knowing life is going to give you as much as you put into it. it's not hard it's just a matter of attitude. well my attitude is definitely set in stone. i am going to kick ass until this world tears each other apart with war and greed. i am going to do this, for me. my family, friends, and my love for that special someone will see.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i've been holding back, and now, nothing is going to stop me.</content>

    <content type="html">so you look at me and you see a face drowning in misery.&lt;br /&gt;and the depression stands out and and reflects upon everything.&lt;br /&gt;i find it hard to be happy, hard to look at me.&lt;br /&gt;the mirror is my enemy, i look different each day.&lt;br /&gt;but what do looks matter? what do they matter to anyone&lt;br /&gt;but me? they say if you look like shit, then you must be.&lt;br /&gt;i find this world hard to believe. the greed is almost enough&lt;br /&gt;to grieve for day after day we drown, seeping into the machine.&lt;br /&gt;i only want to shed some light in the darkness of reality.&lt;br /&gt;silence truely is golden, i wish it was realized that no words&lt;br /&gt;need be mentioned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so it's all poetic. so its all nu.&lt;br /&gt;we keep speaking redudantly of recycled news. history&lt;br /&gt;repeats itself and time is a new. oh well, it continues&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;to rain and wash away the days. and although at times&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;it seems the sun is reluctant to shine, i can only help&lt;br /&gt;but wonder why...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;what is the purpose of living if we're all born and die?</content>
