I want this to be an exponentially growing list of transcendental augmentatives, be it song, movie, painting, joke, political activism---just IDEAS in general. We need to keep asking questions and, more importantly, finding the answers for ourselves. So, I will keep adding to it, and please feel free to suggest other additions so that we might create a massive amalgam of progressive thought so that, at any time of "boredom," we can just click a random link and change our lives, if only for a moment. P.S. Spend less time on the internet.

   About POEM
Smile a lot today, okay?
OPEN YOUR EARS? OPEN YOUR EYES? OPEN YOUR MIND?

Poem




It doesn't snow where I live, so I make angels in the dirt,
Share honest laughs on swingsets, pick daisies from the earth,
Give bouquets to sad-faced strangers, and wish on dandellion seeds;
I spread smiles via contagion, as if joy were a disease.

There's knowledge on my tongue, in an ever-increasing dose,
Serenity in my lungs, and excitement up my nose.
I'd put poison in my veins, whilst truth trickled down my throat,
But no chemical, no pain, can stop this love from coming out.
















We love you, whomever you are, for you are you, and that is all that matters.

You guys were awesome last night! You guys made my stay in hot Arizona worthwhile. I'm so glad I got to meet you and I can't wait to see you guys again! I will definitely try to make it at the Chain Reaction show if I'm not in Canada by then =)
Thank you sooooo much for playing Why Do I Do This To Myself! That made me so happy!
