Musical genius of the day: Tegan and Sara

www.teganandsara.com

Tegan and Sara Quinn come to us from the great white north a.k.a. Canada. These girls have been around for awhile and have quite the cult following. They create a unique sound and melodies. With that they are also sisters, if you couldn't tell. Check out there other music because it is different that this song, "Call it Off". However, that is just another plus to there diverse library of compositions. Much of their early music has the sound of an early Ani Difranco, but with about 9 years of separation. Just support.

Let's talk about: beliefs...

alright. at this current time beliefs. a persons beliefs. those that often align with a religious thought. are in the forefront. someones beliefs are just that. theirs. not mine. not yours. not my parents. not the church. and hopefully not someone elses. one should have ownership in their beliefs. there must be a foundation and a reasoning. and someone in opposition can feel that. opposite. but remember they may feel the same way about your beliefs.

this however takes a radical turn for the worse. that being when someone's beliefs harm another person emotionally or physically. if we are truly supposed to love one another as we would like to be treated and loved whatever your doctrine says....it is there. then taking rights away. then not giving rights. then killing, harming, and emotionally scaring someone for a belief is totally out of line. either way. opposition or not. both sides MUST take RESPONSIBILITY for who they are, what they think, and what they believe. yes what they believe.

begin to re-examine what you believe. what is it truly saying. read it in context. or not read it in context. see it from both sides (now), joni mitchell reference. be aware of both sides. and live. live knowing you have that knowledge and understanding. and are truly caring for the human race.

and just help to better your fellow man ...or WOman.... please

words of wisdom

Peace is not the product of terror or fear.
Peace is not the silence of cemeteries.
Peace is not the silent result of violent repression.
Peace is the generous,
tranquil contribution of all
to the good of all.
Peace is dynamism.
Peace is generosity.
It is right and it is duty.

Musical genius of the day: The Be Good Tanyas

Inlcuding Frazey Ford, Samantha Parton, and Trish Klein and hailing from Vancouver, Canada; this all girl trio brings you a touch of bluegrass and folk never heard before. The vocals, from ford are beautiful and like no other. This definitely makes for a great sound, creating upbeat and sometimes penetrating melodies. A band one should have in their collection

Let's talk about: friends...

we all have those friends, who when they're dating someone that person makes your friend a better person OR sadly worse. i always strive to surround myself with people who make me a better person. granted me as a person also has an influence on how a person is going to affect me.

a person that not only makes you light up, feel butterflies, and long for that little touch but also one who can carry on a conversation with your friends without you around, when you're in a public place they are perfectly okay with NOT touching the whole time, and merely more engaging than an empty chair. and i think this all lies in respect.

respect for a group that you are with and not secluding yourself. respect for friendships that have lasted longer than a 2 month relationship. and respect for another human being you want to spend your hours with no matter in what way and not just being a fly on the wall observing. someone who jumps into the middle of the situation and understands that friendships are more important to you.

and to have a relationship, friendship is key first.

respecting all love, romantic or unconditional, pure love for all the relationships in life

find that person who respects your love for others.. and makes you a better person for that love...

special comment...the greatest of these is love...

really!?

but watch this to make you feel better....

words of wisdom

You are a Christian only so long as you constantly pose critical questions to the society you live in ... so long as you stay unsatisfied with the status quo and keep saying that a new world is yet to come.
