A Poem for the Dad Who Abandoned Me

She saw light

Or it saw her

And over and over

And through and around

The light saw her

Right through her

And they loved nothing more

Than to see her be seen

And to feel her be felt

For it was eternal

And it was good

And it was theirs

The flipside of deviance

She opened herself to the light

And it spoke

Its voice was the sound

Of acrylic nails typing on

A screen

A bright screen

Control her then

Control her if you want

She will embrace it

In her arms and in her chest

Like fire

Like nothing else

But that always changing light

So stay at Habbo Hotel!

And the bellhop and all

Stay there and go out

Your puffle is a slut

But you knew that

She knew that

Crusty, starchy

Caught white-furred

But yet that is a process

They write a bill

A bill is presented to the Senate

They vote on it

And where

For fuck's sake

Do they go clubbing

If not for where

The iceberg never tips

If not for where

The dead never live

If not for where

Then why not here?

Why not here?

Microsoft Office 2010 ProPlus Precracked

The only sacred tome

Leaves well-worn

But likewise if society says

So empty the eager butter!

It never wanted but for prayer

So then to the rock steady

Windows Vista was good

Nay! All right, rude

Kind of leaves you wondering

Could you test that theory?

Yes, eleven times yes!

Why would a cancer patient

Buy Windows Vista

With half their ass

Sticking out the gown

But for love?

The only light

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
