::These are a few of my favorite things::

Some of my favorite quotes I thought I'd share!

"I once heard that love is friendship on fire."

"Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous."
-Carrie "Sex and the City"

"One must not lose desires. They are mighty stimulants to creativeness, to love, and to long life."
-Alexander A. Bogomoletz

"Sometimes the measure of friendship isn't your ability to not harm but your capacity to forgive the things done to you and ask forgiveness for your own mistakes."
-Randy K. Milholland

"Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why."
-Eddie Cantor

"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results."
-ANON

"A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous."
-INGRID BERGMAN

"The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them."
-Thomas Merton

" Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you."
-Wayne Dyer

"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity".

"Give in to love, or live in fear."
- Mimi Marquez, "Another Day", Rent

"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you are expected to give -- which is everything."
--Anon

:: Upcoming Election ::

The upcoming day to vote for either Obama-Biden or McCain-Palin is just right around the corner. It will be a tough decision for some and for others a rather easy one. As for me it's quite simple-- I won't be voting for McCain-Palin. I will not say if I am a Democrat or a Republican. But I will not vote for McCain-Palin. Why you ask? I'll tell you why-- Sarah Palin.

Don't get me wrong I think it's great that the Republicans have chosen to elevate a woman to this level, vice president. It would be awesome to see woman of all parties included in politics. So hats off to Palin for that. But some of Palin's political views suck!!

First of all Palin has terrible views on environmental issues. As the Governor of Alaska she promoted oil and natural gas resource development which included opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling. She also gave the OK for Chevron to dump more toxic oil and gas waste into Cook Inlet waters where the Cook Inlet beluga whale presides, which is almost an endangered species. I mean really, do you want someone like that help running our country? She also supported the Alaska Department of Fish and Game policy which allows Alaska state biologists the ability to hunt wolves from helicopters.

As someone who has a soft spot for all animals there is no way in hell I'd vote for McCain-Palin. Here are a few more reasons why. Keep on reading if you can handle it.

Sarah Palin is also against marriage equality and is for a federal gay-marriage ban. I, for one, am for equal rights for gays and lesbians. Everyone should be treated with equality despite your sexual orientation and should be allowed to get married.

She is also pro-life. Now don't get me wrong, that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's her choice, but she is opposed to abortion in any and all cases. This includes if a woman has been raped and incest. I'm sorry but if a woman or girl for that matter has been raped or incest she should have the right to decide to get an abortion or not. It shouldn't be any one elses decision what someone can and can not do. No matter what the case is.

So in my opinion I really don't want someone like this in the help of running our country with these kind of political views.
