"Peace could last forever"

Dear America,
You finally got it right. You got rid of that piece of shit war-monger. It's about damn time someone in that country stepped up and did the right thing.
Barack Obama is an inspiration for me. He has been from day one. If you want to feel inspired, look no farther than this man. He is such an eloquent speaker. He knows what he's talking about. Obama believes in being firm and fair. I think he'd have a beer with you just as soon as he'd strike you down if you do something wrong.
And that's the kind of man America needs to lead them. Firm, but fair.

George W. Bush did nothing but pump fear into the hearts of americans. For the whole eight years he was in charge, the entire country lived in fear. If you wanna look at famous (and i use that word very lightly) terrorists, look no farther than Dubya. Asshole. Fucking cunt. Douchebag.

Thank you for stepping up and doing the right thing, Barack Obama.


Okay, on to something different. I'm in the mood to be really opinionated today. It's been a few days since I posted here, and I figure my adoring public has been chomping at the bit to hear what I have to say.
Yeah, call me full of myself, but I have a talent for writing. I like to put words to paper.
I don't necessarily always know what I'm talking about, but god damn, I make it seem so.

Online dating sites... What's the good of 'em? If you ask me, nothing. They're nothing more than a means to clock some ass, if you really want to know. When I see some people I know, and am familiar with, on that site, I feel nothing more than pity. Certain people who radiate love, compassion, intelligence, talent, beauty... They have no need to belittle themselves by having a profile on certain websites. I'm not naming names, nor am I going to point fingers. But people should just let things go as they are.
YOU ARE TOO GOOD FOR THAT.
Wait now, how does Matthew know about said profiles even being in existance?

Well, I'm guilty of having a profile on such a site, myself. And to be honest, I've since deleted my profile. Call my experience (if you will) just now an eye-opening one, but it made me realize that I personally don't need to have my face up there, trying to sell myself to the highest bidder.Yeah, I realize I'm being a little hypocritical here, but sometimes things just happen out of nowhere, and they change your perspective on things. This is one of those perspective changing events (for lack of a better term).

I'm happy these days. There's all sorts of sunshine in my life, and I owe alot of it to thinking positive thoughts. It's not as easy as one might think, but nothing good ever comes easy. Never did, and never will. But my life is becoming enriched in a way I never thought possible.
The positivity is as a direct result of quitting smoking both cigarettes and marijuana. Well, I haven't completely quit smoking pot, as I imagine if I were at a party I would partake of the herb.
But as far as casual smoking goes, I'm done. Kaput. It's no longer an issue with me.
The difference in my thinking is amazing.

Hmm.... I wouldn't call it a difference in thought process. Wrong choice of words. But the clarity of my thoughts is amazing. I can't tell you how much of a difference it's made. I no longer walk around covered by a cloud. The rain of indifference no longer falls upon me.

Pot is a wonderful thing, when used properly. And again, I don't expect people to agree completely with me on this. There are people who are simply too ignorant and close-minded to see where I'm coming from.
Yet they have no problem going out and getting shitfaced on booze.
I call those people hypocrates. MAJOR f*ing hypocrates.

It's a little windy in Gander today, but that's cool. I don't mind the wind... As a matter of fact, I've always been a fan of it. I really like strong, violent weather. There's something so powerful about the natural beauty of earth, and everything is has to offer.
Man-made wind machines ain't got nothin' on a natural summer's breeze. Tanning salons don't compare to the life-giving sun.
For one to say they don't like nature is to say they've got no soul. We, as human beings, are of the earth. We came from this planet, as a direct result of evolution. No one put us here; we didn't magically appear. Woman didn't come from the rib of a man.
To see people constantly desecrating the planet is disheartening. (big words? only to a small mind. open your mind)
It makes me sad. It really and truly does.

When I lived in town a couple of years ago, I'd go to my special spot in the woods, smoke a joint, and just take in nature. I'd sit in the midst of the forest, and I would feel at one with the planet. I'd turn off my mp3 player, and listen to the silence. Nothing but the chirp of a bird, the cautionary squeal of a squirrel, or the push of the wind.
That may seem a little stoner-ish, and maybe it is. But I truly felt at peace with myself when I felt at one with the planet. And I can honestly say those feelings weren't induced by pot, because whenever I see the trees, whenever I feel the wind blow, whenever I look at the night stars, I feel the earth.
It's a peaceful feeling.
It's an amazing feeling.

I recommend to anyone reading this to try what I speak of. Find your special spot in the woods, and let the planet do the rest.
