The Infamous News Clip


I am so proud of my boys, but I find the language a bit embarrassing. Giddy? Bah! I don't have good computer access at the moment, so expect things to be erratic for a bit.

Disclaimer- this video is being posted for entirely personal purposes, not commercial. And since it cost me $50 to get it, I better not get in trouble for it.

Happy Mother's Day!



Arise, then, women of this day!
Arise, all women who have hearts,
Whether our baptism be of water or of tears!

Say firmly:
"We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies,
Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause.
Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn
All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.
We, the women of one country, will be too tender of those of another country
To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs."

From the bosom of the devastated Earth a voice goes up with our own.
It says: "Disarm! Disarm! The sword of murder is not the balance of justice."
Blood does not wipe out dishonor, nor violence indicate possession.
As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil at the summons of war,
Let women now leave all that may be left of home for a great and earnest day of counsel.

Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead.
Let them solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means
Whereby the great human family can live in peace. ...
Julia Ward Howe

Photo Hunt - Free Week


Theme for May 10: Free Week
My fiance took this picture on Thursday of me being interviewed by Fox 10 news in Phoenix. We are working on obtaining the video (expensive) and I will post it when we do. It made me teary-eyed.

Friday Random Ten- BSW Edition

As of 3:30 pm last night, I am now Krista Long, BSW. I still have assignments I am finishing, and I have orientation for EMPACT on Monday. I should receive my diploma in a couple of months. As soon as I get the video (I keep checking the web site), I will post it!

On to the mix:

  1. Loquebantur Variis Linguis The Tallis Scholars
  2. Memories of Green Vangelis
  3. Water Shows the Hidden Heart Enya
  4. Hula Blues Jon Rauhouse
  5. You Can Be As Loud As the Hell You Want (When You're Makin' Love) Avenue Q
  6. Fever Ray Charles
  7. Final Heartbreak Jessica Simpson
  8. Michael Antigone Rising
  9. Colonel Bogey San Diego Symphony Pops
  10. Right Where I Belong 3 Doors Down
The usual eclectic mix. Starts out gentle, then gets rowdy. Meanwhile, may I just say that the Jessica Simpson track is from Rugrats in Paris and is, therefore, NOT MINE! ;) I sometimes feel the need to defend my music- LOL.

4 Days

So much to say, no time to say it.

Need more time- I'm not ready.
