11:13 Late Friday Morning   Sore Body, Soul, Mind Ugh, belly dancing really took it out of me last night. My thighs are so sore from trying to do undulations with bent knees on relevee. Belly Dancing is kind of worrisome lately because USU MED is dead and they're starting up an actual dance company...which will be twice as expensive. lsdfjlasjkdf. So today is Good Friday. Where Jesus was hung on a cross by the very people he sought to save. Thanks, Jesus. I'm still a really young "Christian" as I was only baptised 4 years ago, but I was raised with Christian ideals , with love and with the major take-home message of do unto others as you would have others do unto you. I'm trying, Man! But Jesus, I need you now more than ever as I struggle with growing up and finding my place in today's dying world. I need Your hope and Your insight. I need reminders to love my neighbour and help those who need help. I want to do these things, but I need help. I want to be there, supporting and loving people I would not usually support and love, so I need You. While I am grateful of Your life, so am I sad that you had to die so painfully for me. Thank you for saving me from myself and my sins, though my soul continuously aches for you and your insight. Speaking of death, happy anniversary, Iraq War. I remember the day you started. I was sitting in English class watching the news. I like to remember that day fondly as the day I lost faith in the government. Why must the Iraqi people die because of some fat suits in a congress half a world away? Why must American soldiers be called to a duty of false pretenses and proportions? Why must the American taxpayer lose money to these operations instead of gaining services vital to life's ultimate quality? Education, health care, research... all in exchange for bullets, tanks, airplanes... I want my sister to have the resources available to her for an optimum education. I want my family and my neighbours to be able to afford decent health care. I want budding and seasoned researchers to have access to grants that will allow them to help solve our greatest technological, medical, and ecological issues today. My brain hurts, my mind is Sore. I want to apologise to the rest of the world. thank god I can vote.
