if you are interested in hearing a beautiful song, "Life is Wonderful". I intend to check out more of Jason Mraz' stuff, when I can.
I have stopped playing Linkin Park, because I just don't feel like it now. Sometimes a song of theirs will shuffle along as I exercise at the gym, and I let it play and enjoy its invigorating aspects. But I don't need to be an "angry disenfranchised white boy done wrong" right now - as motivating as the music might be at the gym. I want to be more in touch with love and wonder, now, as it's apparently All Around me, and all I have to do is open my eyes and reach for it ... I may not reach it, but at least I'll die with my arm pointing in the right direction.
The latest thing on my SO SAD radar is the murder of 8 year old Leiby Kletzky, of a small, tight-knit, protective and peaceful Jewish community in New York City, by another member of its larger Jewish community. I grieve for their community, and for my friends and classmates that are of that community. To my outsider mind, they were trying to achieve their own utopia by creating a safe, peaceful, respectful community. A main reason why a utopia on Earth can never be achieved is that evil lurks within all of us - before our alignment with any society that we think/hope works towards the best. Still, what is there to do, but to keep trying?
I need to apply for professional griever status. They could license me and tax me, and I'd be free to show up at funerals and other events. I am definitely gifted in this area. There must be a reason for it.
