Thought provoking
"the dark is generous. its first gift is concealment: our true faces lie in the dark beneath our skins, our true hearts remain shadowed deeper still. but the greatest concealment lies not in protecting our secrect truths, but in hiding from us the truths of others. the dark protects us from what we dare not know. it's second gift is comforting illusion: the ease of gentle dreams in nights embrace, the beauty that imagination brings to what would repel in day's harsh light. but the greatest of its comforts is the illusion that the dark is temporary: that every night brings a new day. because it is day that is temporary. day is the illusion. its third gift is the light itself: as days are defined by the nights that divide them, as stars are defined by the infinite black through which they wheel, the dark embraces the light and brings it forth from the center of its own self. with each victory of the light, it is the dark that wins."

"the dark is generous, it is patient, and it always wins. it always wins because it is everywhere. it is in the wood that burns in your hearth, and in the kettle on the fire, it is under your chair and under your table and under the sheets on your bed. walk in the midday sun and the dark is with you, attached to the soles of your feet. the brightest light will always cast the darkest shadow."

Hello to all, and to all hello! I certainly hope you all had the chance to glutton yourselves with that wonderful thanksgiving feast, I know I did. And the best part is that, I don't have to buy lunch or get up early to make it, it's all ready to go!

Well, now that the niceties have been observed, let us move on. We all read that article on the smoking ban, and I daresay that everyone had the chance to voice his or her opinion on the matter. Then of course there has been the long and drug out till the death argument on gay marriages. Both of these topics, have pros and cons. Here's a bit of irony for you, the foes and opponents of gay marriage are very well smokers, and the supporters of gay marriages oppose smoking in nearly every public place. Seems a bit mixmatched now doesnt it? Then of course, there are people that oppose public smoking and gay marriage and vice versa. My question here is, how can you legalize one and illegalize the other? They're both personal freedoms, and are theorically covered by the bill of rights. People have the right to smoke themselves to death, they also should be provided with a place to do so in public, such as an outside patio or private room within a restaraunt, ect. And people have the right to marry who they choose, regardless of gender, race, political beliefs and affiliations, and or religion. No one's saying that you have to approve of either one, they're just saying that should they choose to exercise this right, then no one, not even the government has the right to enchroach on the right to do so. What is my point you say? My point is, that you can't legalize one and not the other. If you don't like being around smoke, then stay away from places that have it. If you believe gay marriage is morally wrong, then ignore the two men holding hands that just so happen to be three tables from you. Regardless if it's smoking or jen marrying sarah, it's a personal right, and no one can control that. I hope you enjoy the rest of your thanksgiving evening and I bid you good eating if you havent commenced doing so yet.

It's that time of year folks. The mall is crowded with the post christmas shoppers, all the stores here in town are crowded with people looking for the right bird and the fixin's to go with it, and all the exits and entrances of Victoria are filled with people leaving and visiting for the holidays. But, the question that is asked by that small voice inside of me, what's it all for?  I know what Christmas is for, sure. It's to celebrate the birth of Christ. But what is Thanksgiving for? I'd been asking myself that ever since I could remember. Then the answer, Thanksgiving is about giving thanks. As blunt as it is to say, I've alot of anger and grudges towards the Church and Christianity as a whole, but at this time, I put aside those feelings and take a moment to realize what I'm thankful for. I am thankful for the wellbeing of myself, my parents, and my friends. I am thankful to be surrounded by people who have stood by me through it all, despite how sticky the situation or rotten my attitude may be. I am thankful for everthing that I have and the chance to be able to possess it. And now, I turn to you, my fellow patrons. What are you thankful for?
