Don't Choose Between Evil

They talk and talk trying to make us buy what they are selling, but if you listen carefully illusion and division in their speeches will be quite telling.

They say that they care for you and me, but with all the crooked corporations money that just cannot be.

They play their parts so well that for their work they deserve to be an Oscar nominee, but if you look at all of their track records what they say and do are totally different you may see.

" God bless America" rolls off of their tongues so easily, what does God think when you seem to bomb and invade other countries so easily.

With all your divisive rhetoric you keep the very same people you say that you love frozen in time, we the people must start to look up facts because they're not hard to find.

There is an old saying that goes "even on dog crap the sun will shine," before you go out to vote for your new so called leader please keep that in mind.

When I think of the voting process I get filled with laughter, I will speak on that another time because that's a whole other matter.

So at their debates as you listen to their mindless chatter, ask yourself this question, did they touch on any real nations matters?

I often hear people say if you don't vote, you have no right to complain, but I say that I have every right to because I refused to play this systems game.

You may ask me, for writing this do I feel ashamed, I can simply tell you that I don't because I refuse to put another stain on this countries name.

For the ones that are going to vote please research all parties and all candidates, and not just the ones they show you because a vote for the lesser evil you are still choosing evil. Peace and love

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.
