Judge not, lest ye be judged.

Beloved, let us love one another.
For love is of God
And everyone who loves
Is born of God and knows God.
He who loveth not, knoweth not God, for God is love.

Honesty

I happen think of myself as quite honest. Yes there have been lies here and there but they were usually told to preserve someone's feelings.
I would like to tell everyone now to go ahead and ask me any question you would like and I will give you an honest answer.

I'm Walking on Sunshine

A man came into the store yesterday at approximately 5:45pm. I state the time because I want it to be known that it was dark outside. I was alone. Well, he asked me for change for his $10 bill, 1 five and 5 ones. He was dressed in some sort of ceremonial clothes I do not know what religion but he started to bless me and proceeded in telling me God was here on earth. He told me that we must live peacefully and become vegetarians and to live our lives on earth as it is in heaven. It was serious stuff and he was serious about what he was saying but I was smiling the whole time about ready to burst into laughter. I had no problem with him preaching to me nor did I have a problem with what he was preaching. My problem is that I was very distracted with the fact he smelled like he had rather recently been smoking weed. Now I am not condemning him because he smokes weed, I just thought that if he was going around preaching the word he might want to do it when he wasn't high. It is kinda contradicting. It would also discourage individuals from actually listening to him if they are getting a contact high. Seriously, as I was listening to him talk my body started to feel strange. I was so close to singing "I'm walking on Sunshine" and doing a little two step to the music in my head.
I have never smoked a thing in my life and never will (not even hookah) and I also dislike cigarettes since they are unhealthy and I can't stand the smell. He is very lucky it was me and not one of the other girls there; I am more accepting than they would have been. I did enjoy meeting him though; I like meeting new people.
The human race is full of interesting people and you know me, always interested in the interesting.

A Song for You

I happen to love Donny Hathaway's version of this song the most but no matter who is singing it, the lyrics are the most powerful aspect about it. I wouldn't mind someone singing this song to me.

A Song for You
by: Leon Russell

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages
With 10,000 people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
I know your image of me is what I hoped to be
I treated you unkindly
And darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Baby can't you see through me
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love , Withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
Now I'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
Cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
You're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song to you.
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life
You're a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song to you.

Sad

My family makes me sad.
Why is it when things begin to look up, something is inevitably there to bring things down again.
Despite the fact that my family makes me sad, I'm still not sad, sad. There's always something good to look forward to.
That's the thing about life.
I'm sad but I'm not.

On a Road

Break lights straight ahead.
Should I slow down and stop soon?
Or change the channel.

Out of Context #4

Rebecca: "He wouldn't even put the monitor in there. The other guy was skinnier and he didn't have any problem sticking it in."

Kamia: "That's what she said!"

Read My Mind

Read My Mind
by: The Killers

On the corner of main street
Just tryin' to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on and
You say I'm falling behind
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
I never really gave up on
Breakin' out of this two-star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I'm gonna turn this thing around
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
The good old days, the honest man;
The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees;
A broken wrist and a big trapeze
Oh well I don't mind, you don't mind
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?
It’s funny how you just break down
Waitin' on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soakin' my spine
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
The teenage queen, the loaded gun;
The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
A southern drawl, a world unseen;
A city wall and a trampoline
Oh well I don't mind, you don't mind
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go
Tell me what you find when you read my mind
Slippin’ in my faith until I fall
You never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
I wanna breathe that fire again
She said
I don't mind, you don't mind
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Put your back on me
Put your back on me
Put your back on me
The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
When you read my mind
